This past Wednesday, the place to be was the Anaheim House of Blues, where the Metal Masters 5 clinic took place. The clinic started out as just that, a clinic with some tricks of the trade from metal musicians at the top of their game. Then it got fun, as members of Slayer, Pantera, Exodus, Anthrax, Megadeth, Testament and Mike Portnoy, among many others, jammed on music by all of those bands and more. And while many were outside of Anaheim, our buds at Gear Gods were not only there, but they streamed the whole damn thing. You can check out the whole thing by heading to Gear Gods, but only if you’re down with the following the following songs and the artists below performing them.
