Ahead of their show in Montreal last night (13th September), members of Slayer and Anthrax joined forces to pay musical tribute to one of Canada’s most famous sons.

Thankfully it wasn’t Justin Bieber, but chart-bothering purveyor of mellow rock Bryan Adams.

As filmed by Anthrax guitarist Jonathan Donais during the soundcheck, Anthrax singer Joey Belladonna joined Slayer’s Tom Araya, Gary Holt and Paul Bostaph to rip through a cover of Adams’ omnipresent anthem ‘Summer of '69’.

Unsurprisingly the cover didn’t make the setlist of either Slayer or Anthrax’s sets later in the night.

The thrash metal icons kicked off their North American tour with Death Angel last Friday (9th September) and wrap up their extensive run of shows in El Paso, Texas on 27th October.
