Half of The Big Four are doing some charity work. Not together, but at the same time, which is quite a coincidence.
Metallica are auctioning a one hour drum lessons and dinner with none other than Lars Ulrich. This will mean flying to their headquarters, getting a tour of the Metallica HQ, etc… All proceeds go to the “Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, a not-for-profit public charity dedicated to transforming education to create opportunities for children.“ — More info here.
Megadeth are auctioning a Hartke bass amp, signed by the whole band, directly via eBay. All proceeds go to the American Cancer Society.— More info after the jump.
Now, we usually crack a joke or two about each news item we post. I could say that that taking drum lessons from Lars is like taking driving lessons from Stevie Wonder. Or ask if Megadeth is auctioning off a bass amp cause you can barely hear it anyway in most of their songs. But I’m not gonna do that.
Seriously though, charity is always a worthy cause so make sure you start bidding.
The Hartke amp costs $499 in retail stores, more details here. But it doesn’t come with the Megadeth autographs, that’s for sure.
