April Fools joke.

The article is from the 2nd

It quotes Metal Underground, their story is from 4/1 and labeled "Just For Fun"

Yeah well spotted, classic case of it being shared post April fools day so people take it as true.

Plus they already did that St Anger tour ad which made this one even more convincing

I hope they have auditions like they did for St. Anger! cough.

Yeah, he'll be replaced by Phill Rudd and only songs in 4/4 will be played in the setlist.

Taking his place behind the drum kit will be former Soilwork drummer Dirk Verbeuren, now of Megadeth, Bent Sea, Tronos, Brave The Cold and Kill Division. While no quote was given, Verbeuren was said to be very excited about the opportunity to perform with "America's number one thrash band" and claimed it had been a while since he was "part of a show people still wanted to see."
