background: On June 28, 1991, the legendary Clash of the Titans tour stormed into Madison Square Garden in New York City, delivering one of the most iconic metal concerts of the decade. Headlined by Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, with Alice in Chains opening, the show symbolized a cultural shift—thrash metal at its peak colliding with the rise of grunge. The atmosphere was electric, with over 18,000 fans creating a volatile sea of moshing and mayhem. Alice in Chains, then relatively unknown, fought for attention amid the thrash-hungry crowd, while Slayer unleashed brutal classics like “Raining Blood” and “Angel of Death.” Megadeth performed a tight, furious set featuring “Holy Wars” and “Peace Sells,” showcasing their technical precision and rising mainstream appeal. The night’s most unforgettable moment came when Anthrax brought out Chuck D and Flavor Flav to perform “Bring the Noise,” a groundbreaking rap-metal crossover that stunned the crowd and marked a bold, genre-bending statement. That night at the Garden wasn’t just a concert—it was a flashpoint in metal history, capturing both the height of thrash and the early tremors of what would soon dominate rock in the ’90s.
I suspect this ad to be a extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save the issue these pages came from at the time.
PAGES 77-78 & 83-84 ONLY, measures 15 x 11 1/2 inches, STILL TERRIFIC FOR DISPLAY AS SUCH.
