New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Jagermeister
Music Tour) - Jagermeister has added top talent to the already hard-hitting 2010 Jagermeister Fall
Music Tour. Jim Florentine of VH1's "That Metal Show" is set to emcee North America's biggest thrash tour in 20 years; the 1991 original "Clash of the Titans" lineup - Slayer,
Megadeth and Anthrax. The brand's 17th
Music Tour will feature complete performances of Slayer's much lauded Seasons in the Abyss Album from 1990, Megadeth's landmark 1990 album Rust in Peace, and the return of Anthrax's singer Joey Belladonna. The tour kicked off
September 24th and will play 20 venues across the nation, 14 of which will be hosted by Florentine. The other 6 shows throughout the course of the tour will be emceed by
Sirius XM Satellite
Radio Host Jose Mangin.
"When we announced the 2010 Jagermeister Music Tour with Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax, it quickly became the biggest metal tour of the year," says Bill Henderson, Senior Vice President Marketing and Advertising at Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. "Adding Jim Florentine to emcee the show and keep the fans going just takes it to the next level."
"It's an honor to join Jagermeister and three of my all time favorite bands on one stage. Being able to travel the country, meet fans, hang with metal gods, and help hype and infect metal heads is something I was born to do," says Mangin.
