ROADRUNNER UNITED - The Concert (2022 Reissue) - 3LP - Red / White / Black Vinyl

3LP - Limited Edition Red (LP1). White (LP2) & Black (LP3) Vinyl back in print for a limited time to celebrate four decades of Roadrunner Records' mark on the metal world.

The Concert (Live at the Nokia Theatre, New York, NY, 12/15/2005) featuring members of Slipknot, Anthrax, Trivium, Machine Head, Fear Factory, Sepultura and more.

Roadrunner United was a project organized by the heavy metal record label Roadrunner Records to celebrate its 25th anniversary. On December 15th, 2005, in New York City, the label produced the Metal Concert to end all Metal Concerts: 39 musicians, representing 25 different Roadrunner bands, performed 25 songs from 19 different bands’ repertoire.

This unique and unprecedented aggregation of musicians was no jam session. Each song was studiously rehearsed and arranged, coming together with exuberant perfection, to produce a concert that can only be called “Legend.”

Conceived as a follow-up to the Roadrunner United All-Star recording sessions, the label recruited the core team of musicians (Dino Cazares, Adam Duce, Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, Andreas Kisser and Roy Mayorga) as the backbone of the performance. Sure enough, as they fine-tuned the songs and rehearsed them tirelessly, dozens of other musicians came on board.

MUSICIANS:
Steve Asheim, Matt Baumbach, Cory Beaulieu, Glen Benton, Rob Caggiano, Keith Caputo, Dino Cazares, Mike D’Antonio, Phil Demmel, Adam Duce, Brian Fair, Robb Flynn, Justin Foley, Paul Gray, Billy Graziadei, Paolo Gregoletto, Matthew K.
