Metal Masters 5 — the fifth installment of the hugely successful Metal Masters clinic series — is going to be quite the event this coming January 22nd! Fans will be treated to unforgettable performances, instructional lessons and all-star jam sessions featuring the following ridiculously star-studded cast of metal characters: Philip Anselmo (Pantera/Down), Kerry King (Slayer), Gary Holt (Slayer/Exodus), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Frank Bello (Anthrax), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Chris Broderick (Megadeth), Billy Sheehan (Winery Dogs), Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs) and Rex Brown (Pantera/Kill Devil Hill). More additions are expected to be announced soon.

Our sister site Gear Gods is going to be streaming the entire event live from Anaheim, CA on the night of the show so you won’t even have to put on pants to witness history! Be sure to stay tuned to Gear Gods for news related to Metal Masters 5, and of course, for all things gear and metal-related. If you live in the Anaheim, CA area, or will be there for NAMM, you can get tickets for Metal Masters here.
