The term big 4 has been applied too so much over the years metal can't even claim to have come up with it, so whoever coined it first along with four thrash metal band names stole it from somewhere else anyway.
But as I've said before it really didn't mean that much to most of the metal heads I knew in Australia during the 80's. Maybe it has something to do with the term being stolen, maybe it just wasn't marketed that way. Either way the Big 4 of Thrash always seemed to mean more to American's than us, but it's the same for the Teutonic 4, we mostly knew them individually and for most of us Tankard and Destruction weren't in the same league as Sodom and Kreator.
I've seen all of the Big 4 in the early days, never as the big 4 because they all toured Australia individually. I've also seen Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth since then but haven't seen Metallica live since AJFA.

Nah Megadeth definitely made bad albums after Youthanasia
Dave's voice is relatively unique* and does help make Megadeth stand out from many other bands....but so does his ego and bullshit.
(* relatively unique because the guy from Mechanix does a pretty damn good copy of Dave on Sonic Point Blank)

The thing about humidity here is that it changes dramatically between states. Sydney gets hot and humid in summer which makes it a very sticky and uncomfortable heat. But north in Queensland and Northern Territory it's more tropical where the sun feels hot then it pisses down rain for two months because it's the summer wet season. Then in the West it can be 110+ for a month and zero humidty so the sun doesn't feel as hot as it does in the east. I love the west and can happily live in 100-110 for a week or two but after than I've had enough, (or it could just be I've had enough of family and want to get back to the east, either works!). But thankfully over in the east they don't often get two weeks of temps that high because the humidty would make it uncomfortable
Winters can vary too, up in Northern Territory at the moment they are still having temps between 90 and 105 and relatively rain free days. Whereas in the south down in Tassie and some of the high country in Victoria it's cold enough for snow.

Its about now, half way through winter, where I start longing for 97F, not so much the consecutive days of 110F that we usually get once or twice during summer but high 90's is definitely weather worth longing for. Snow can get fucked, not that I live in the snow, but I live close enough to see it on mountains and that's too close.

Damn I wish we had sun. Not that it's bitterly cold here but it is the middle of winter and between the overcast clouds and the lack of sun it's not the best welcoming to the day. It's been so wet here I can't even cut the grass because the mower would sink into the mud.

5 bands' catalogues you'd take to a desert island.

Don't worry about the 'forever' part. Once you get on the island one day will blend into another, you'll eventually go bat shit crazy within your own mind, then you'll start forgetting everything and before you know it each album will seem new again. Or worse, you'll run out of batteries in your music player after day two and go bat shit crazy even sooner!
