Gigantour 2013

[Steev]

Either in the fall or early winter this will hit North and South America, apparently with a band that's known for being difficult

[Derelict]

Oh, so Megadeth then?

[Steev]

Oh, so Megadeth then?

Yeah kinda saw that coming

[justinm4bama]

Oh, so Megadeth then?

:lol:

[Derelict]

Sorry, too easy

[Sanitarium78]

So you started a thread about a tour that's over nine months away with no real information to tell us at all? What do you think this is, the mayhem fest thread?

[Steev]

*rimshot


But yeah it's out there when the news comes, since it will most likely be Megadeth's first US run for their 14th album

[RampinUp46]

Oh, so Megadeth then?

Talk about shooting fish in a barrel there. :lol:

In before someone suggests Ghost for the lineup.

[christopher]

Oh, so Megadeth then?

:lol: good one!

[mankvill]

A band that's known for being difficult, or a band that will be difficult playing with Megadave? Basically count out any band that is slightly anti-religion at all or doesn't jack off Alex Jones.

[ravenheart]

So this is a thread about... absolutely nothing, then.

Yes I know, I just had to state that I like those bands.

I do find the Fox logo on it the funniest though.

this to the max

[PVH5150]

I wouldn't mind seeing a MegaDave/Uncle Ted bill.

I enjoy both of their music and I greatly enjoy both of their guitar playing.

[hellawaits77ny]

Fox News present, lmao!!

[Bengals279]

Sadly i would not mind seeing this at all. But Bill or Reilly has to introduce all the bands and sing one song. :rocker:

[Skyline Chili Buoy]

According to Blabbermouth, Device will be on the tour with other groups being comprised of other big names' side projects.

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

with other groups being comprised of other big names' side projects.

That makes the rumors of Down seem much more likely now. I wonder what other side projects will be on this? Hopefully not Stone Sour!!! Not they they are bad but I can't picture them playing Gigantour... then again Device is playing...

[anomynous]

Adrenaline Mob

[Northern_Shaman]

According to Blabbermouth, Device will be on the tour with other groups being comprised of other big names' side projects.

Is it time for some completely unrealistic speculation? I think it's time for some completely unrealistic speculation.

BLOODBATH

DEMONS AND WIZARDS

I (Abbath's project)

SHRINEBUILDER

CANNABIS CORPSE

Fuck yeah this is gonner be the best Gigantour ever!! You are my greatest ally Daymustaine!!!! Bretty good lineup thanks.

[Steev]

Adrenaline Mob

Seems the most likely, Dave said NEW bands with well known members, anything with 2 or more records wouldn't technically be true


But who the hell knows

[dtgamerat]

Sadly i would not mind seeing this at all. But Bill or Reilly has to introduce all the bands and sing one song. :rocker:

Or, Mike Huckabee comes out as special bass guest.

[dcmetal108]

Adrenaline Mob


First band I thought of.

[PVH5150]

Wishful thinking, but I'm hoping for Black Star Riders.

[MPF]

From the sounds of it, if the rumors are true, maybe it's...

Megadeth
Device
Adrenaline Mob
Maybe a band like A Ghost Inside or For Today or something?

[mankvill]

From the sounds of it, if the rumors are true, maybe it's...

Megadeth
Device
Adrenaline Mob

lol

[treghet]

I heard Dave has personally chosen Rotting Christ.

[MPF]

lol

Before Wolverinekills posted it, I heard before there is a Metalcore band on the bill and those were the only two I could think of not currently booked.

Device has been confirmed. Adrenaline Mob makes sense as well.

Maybe the order is wrong, but I do see that being the lineup.

[justinm4bama]

Joke, right? :lol:

I was hearing rumblings of one of the Pantera related bands being involved. Kill Devil Hill or HellYeah makes the most sense but Down fits better. Not sure if Anselmo would play before Device (and although they shouldn't, Device had a strong debut for album sales, etc, so I bet they play before Megadeth).

[justinm4bama]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotting_Christ#Publicity

I remember this happening but I thought for a split second maybe something changed. However, Dave has only grown to be more of a douche since then....

[MPF]

Who? :lol:

Fuck if I know. I don't listen to shitty bands enough to remember their names.

:blaze:

[energymetal14]

I wouldn't mind seeing Megadeth again, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to see them if they are the main draw. If these rumors are true (which I'm sure they are) I will be passing.

[Christen]

I wouldn't mind seeing Megadeth again, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to see them if they are the main draw. If these rumors are true (which I'm sure they are) I will be passing.

Agreed. As much as I like Megadeth, the rest of the lineup is very passable. If anything I'd show up late.

[anomynous]

Death Division confirmed (http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=188981)

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

I think Philip Anselmo & The Illegals are on too. I thought it was Down but it looks like Philip solo.

[IrritatedTrout]

So when is this supposed to be happening?

[Steev]

According to Death Division it's this summer


Probably before the run with Maiden

[Steev]

so this might be happening

Gigantour started off with bands like Dream Theater, Nevermore, Symphony X, Opeth, Arch Enemy, etc. Now it has bands like Volbeat, Lacuna Coil, and Device.

It's sad when you think about it.

It's sad when you think about it.

Which is kind of ironic, because Megadeth (imo) has actually got better from where it was when Gigantour started from where it is now.

[slapguitarer]

But megadave is only getting worse.

[brutal_descent]

But megadave is only getting worse.

Yeah, lol. Not sure where you're coming from, dudeski.

[BloodoftheKings]

Which is kind of ironic, because Megadeth (imo) has actually got better from where it was when Gigantour started from where it is now.

After Risk, Megadeth was steadily improving with each album and peaked at Endgame. Now they're dropping back down to Risk levels.

[300%_Density]

After Risk, Megadeth was steadily improving with each album and peaked at Endgame. Now they're dropping back down to Risk levels.

Agreed.

I guess I meant more the quality of what they put out around when Gigantour started to where they are now. I know Thirteen wasn't good but still think it is better than UA (I'm assuming that was around the time frame).

[Skyline Chili Buoy]

“@DaveMustaine: I reveal another band next week from @Gigantour2013. I've wanted to tour with these guys forever!”

[Xenocide]

....flock of seagulls?

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Black Label Society drummer Chad Szeliga made a post on his official facebook stating that BLS will indeed tour with Megadeth this summer (on what is believed to be the Gigantour). He also revealed the band will tour on their own then record a new album. He also spoke on his former band Breaking Benjamin:

"To all my fans of breaking benjamin this hurts me to say this. My duties of being the drummer of BB is finally over due to creative differences. I wish all the guys the best with the future. Mark and Aaron have started a new band called star dog champion and I wish them the best with their move. I have a busy schedule opening for megadeath this summer then doing a run on our own and finally a record in the works. I have a new family with Bls and I will continue to write and play the best for all my fans. Please come support me in my new chapter in my life. I wish everyone well and God bless from the bottom of my heart. Good luck for the new members of BB who ever it is. " I will go on until the end "

Gigantour information has not been released yet but the rumored/somewhat confirmed line up looks like this:

Megadeth
Black Label Society
Device
Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals
Death Division

[AnthG]

Well, that's a terrible lineup.

[300%_Density]

Take Device off there and its not terrible.

[MPF]

Take Device off there and its not terrible.

You're not wrong.

[Bengals279]

When will dates be announced?

[XDoomsayerX]

Take Device off there and its not terrible.

But Megadeth needs to not have a crap setlist first.

[PVH5150]

Take Device off there and its not terrible.

BLS automatically makes it terrible.

[NickLed19]

Device and BLS are both terrible.

[elturtleboy]

I can never take this foo seriously anymore.

[sfhui]

if thats the real lineup i will pass.

seeing deth with maiden is way more than enough

[300%_Density]

But Megadeth needs to not have a crap setlist first.

Sadly that's probably asking way too much.

[christopher]

I would like to see Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals.

[John The Drummer]

Isn't Device just Disturbed with less "Oo-ah-ah-ah-ah's"

[300%_Density]

Isn't Device just Disturbed with less "Oo-ah-ah-ah-ah's"

W/ industrial elements. But not good elements like NIN or Ministry. More like elements that a real industrial band wouldn't use.

[elturtleboy]

I would like to see Philip H. Anselmo & the Illegals.

Me too. But not on Gigantour.

[christopher]

Me too. But not on Gigantour.

It might be the only chance we have. Arson Anthem never made it out here and I've been wanting to see them for a long ass time.

[IrritatedTrout]

Megadeth and BLS would be pretty cool but I wouldn't drive more than like 2 hours for this.

[christopher]

Megadeth and BLS would be pretty cool but I wouldn't drive more than like 2 hours for this.

I wouldn't drive more than 45 minutes for this. :lol:

[IrritatedTrout]

I wish I could do that. :lol: Two hours only limits me to my city and Richmond, neither of which get many shows anyways. Average drive to a show for me is 3 hours, it sucks ass. it's not like I live in the sticks either which is the weird thing.

[XDoomsayerX]

:eek: That bloooows!

[Namaste]

So what other bands could fall under Dave's criteria?

[Skyline Chili Buoy]

Hellyeah was just announced. Haven't seen anything about BLS, is that not happening now?

[anomynous]

Giganticshit tour

[Christen]

Hellyeah was just announced. Haven't seen anything about BLS, is that not happening now?

I'd take BLS over Hellyeah any day.

[Steev]

So that's a definite "no" for any band with Phil Anselmo

[Nickweiser]

My money is on Stone Sour being on this

[dcmetal108]

My money is on Stone Sour being on this

I don't see Corey Taylor putting up with Dave's shit.

[PVH5150]

I'll take Hellyeah over BLS any day, but that ain't saying much.

The only logical guess for another spot (if there are any) is Adrenaline Mob.

[Namaste]

How about A Perfect Circle, Devildriver, Soulfly, Nuclear Assault and/or Kingdom of Sorrow?

[mankvill]

How about A Perfect Circle, Devildriver, Soulfly, Nuclear Assault and/or Kingdom of Sorrow?

Too satanic

[Steev]

This is looking like it may be bigger than previous years

[dcmetal108]

How about A Perfect Circle, Devildriver, Soulfly, Nuclear Assault and/or Kingdom of Sorrow?

You really think A Perfect Circle would open for Megadeth plus odds are Hatebreed will be touring so KOS is a no.

[NickLed19]

My money is on Stone Sour being on this

They are going to play Carnival of Madness.

[Steev]

You really think A Perfect Circle would open for Megadeth plus odds are Hatebreed will be touring so KOS is a no.

Well Hatebreed did say they weren't doing US shows this summer

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Philip Anselmo & the Illegals will be on a major US tour this summer. Since its not Gigantour it will be interesting to see what it is.

Gigantour is starting to look like what many people thought this years Uproar Fest would look like.

[dcmetal108]

Prolly a lot of shows and fests overseas.

Pretty sad, remember when it was created as the metal tour created "for musicians, by musicians"...

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

Pretty sad, remember when it was created as the metal tour created "for musicians, by musicians"...

Sad indeed. It gives me a horrible feeling after hearing the first Megadeth single Super Collider from their new album along with this line up that Dave is aiming for radio airplay over substance. The new song isn't bad but its not a song that Megadeth needs to have in their catalogue. I'll take lame attempts to recreate Peace Sells or Rust In Peace over attempts at trying to take over the billboard charts with radio oriented songs.

[toolfansat]

Justin Beiber?

[Steev]

Pretty sad, remember when it was created as the metal tour created "for musicians, by musicians"...

Yeah and sadly they hit a flooded festival market and tix didn't move like try should have

[TonyD]

Now that that line is already quoted I see that I made a typo and can't edit it :hmm:

[Blacktooth85]

I'll take Hellyeah over BLS any day, but that ain't saying much.

The only logical guess for another spot (if there are any) is Adrenaline Mob.

I haven't really been a fan of BLS over the past few years, but their first 3 or 4 albums are far superior to anything that Hellyeah horseshit has done...

[TonyD]

Crappy lineup so far.

Well I'm glad they are going to do a tour this summer at least. I hope it comes out to CA.

[es156]

Crappy lineup so far.

This lineup is atrocious.


:barf:

[XDoomsayerX]

Megadeth = headliner :barf:

[RampinUp46]

Isn't Device just Disturbed with less "Oo-ah-ah-ah-ah's"

I remember hearing their album over the PA at Waterloo Records at a signing and seriously thought it was a chunk of Disturbed songs I hadn't heard before. :lol:

[dcmetal108]

Megadeth = headliner :barf:

This.

[sfhui]

Jason Newsted:rocker:

hope this tour come somewhere near me

[TonyD]

Right on, I guess it makes sense since Dave has no reason to have a beef with Jason :lol:
He canceled the small show planned in SJ, and I don't think I'm gonna see this show unless something big changes, Hellyeah and Device aren't even bands I'm curious about seeing.

[Christen]

Jason Newsted:rocker:

hope this tour come somewhere near me

Finally something to make me want to go besides Megadeth.

[mankvill]

I don't think in all the speculation in this thread, a single band has been mentioned that I'd want to see.

[crazymetalhead]

Heavy MTL just updated their bands and the daily lineups. Notable additions:

BLS
HellYeah
Newsted
Phil Anselmo and the Illegals
http://heavymtl.com/en/groupes/#!programmation=grid$

Megadeth were already previously announced for Heavy MTL. No mention of Device though. So......................

[mankvill]

Surprise - it's shit

[John The Drummer]

That calls for a Pantera reunion with Vinnie and Phil with Zakk on geetar

[Steev]

That calls for a Pantera reunion with Vinnie and Phil with Zakk on geetar

Hellyeah is on a different day than Phil and the Illegals

[IrritatedTrout]

According to Ticketmaster:

7/14 - Concrete Street Amphitheater - Corpus Christi, TX

[anomynous]

BLS confirmed I guess?

[NickLed19]

yeah they are.

[dcmetal108]

Jericho just said on the award show that Newsted is on Gigantour.

[MPF]

Dammit, I'll most likely be out of town for the Camden show

[Jochen]

July 19th!!! As crappy as the lineup is, I can never seem to turn down seeing Megadeth.

[Bengals279]

Fuck no Kansas. Maybe we will get a hellyeah offdate

[XDoomsayerX]

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

[dcmetal108]

Megadeth went from like a 5,000 person venue to like a 18,000 person arena. Huge jump saying that the support isn't as big as last years.

[mankvill]

[anomynous]

Why is it surprising Gigantour isn't coming to KS & MO? We're getting Maiden & Megadeth a month after this.

[PVH5150]

No doubt the large arena shows will be half houses.

Shocked this is at the Eagles Ballroom. That can't hold more than 2,000 people.

[Jochen]

Gigantour has been there every time since it started, I'm not sure if it's ever sold out, though.

[kalfitegrdan]

Hellyeah should change their name to Fuckno since that's everyone's reaction to them anyway. Or just go the fuck away. Either one works.

Also, :lol: at Megadeth playing the Allstate Arena.

[Coma323]

Shocked this is at the Eagles Ballroom. That can't hold more than 2,000 people.

Would make more sense to be at a smaller venue such at that, I can't see Mohegan Sun selling anything close to 10,000 tickets.
Not sure if I'd go to this. Dispute Megadeth's stale setlists lately I wouldn't pass them up 10 minutes away from my house. I wouldn't mind seeing Newstead but don't care for the other support bands.

[IrritatedTrout]

Lame routing. Megadeth and BLS would be pretty cool but I don't care about the rest so no huge loss. Plus I'm already seeing Megadeth twice in September.

[awoodz92]

Not even Black Label Society is enough to make me wanna sit through Megadeth and Device. Horrid line-up.

[PVH5150]

I can't see them selling 10K either, but somewhere in the 4-5 range isn't out of the question. Surprised it's not at the Pavilion. Glad to see it at Meadowbrook though, they've been getting a lot better lately.

[Bengals279]

A win for the KS/MO area. A big middle finger for everywhere else.

[Steev]

Device is billed above Hellyeah, kinda funny

[W0unds]

These look to be much bigger venues than previous years - I know the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto holds 16000 people. Iron Maiden played there last year and Mayhem fest is booked there this year but it seems a bit large for Megadeth.

Are any of these bands really that big?

The Chicago show needs to be more like a 1/4th house.

[Steev]

Pit sold out in the presale from Megadeth's fan club, also looks like tix are 20-39 before surcharges


also there are VIP packages for Megadeth, Black Label Society, and Newsted

[dcmetal108]

The Chicago show is on a Tuesday and starts at like 430pm haha.

1st bank center in Denver is basically a mini-hockey arena but much bigger than the Fillmore where last years Gigantour stopped; it wasn't full last year so I am surprised they got a bigger venue, but as others said I'm sure they will half it;

With that I don't think I will go mostly because of money but also the only band that interests me is Newsted; Plus knowing Megadeth, Megadave is going to with another boring setlist with songs that have been played over and over for the last 10-15 years. It would take a really unique set for me to go, and I ain't holding my breath

[Steev]

Looking at the Camden show it says Pit is reserved seating(which is odd) and that section wasnt available for any presales


I just got the Newsted M&G, it's 115 which actually isn't bad since after surcharges Pit would be 52

[TonyD]

$63 to meet Jason Newstead and his band... shig

[Steev]

Considering what scampers will charge for seats it's not bad, I got firs row

[TonyD]

Considering what scampers will charge for seats it's not bad, I got firs row

I guess its not so bad if you got upgraded seats

[NickLed19]

I do not think I would pay $10 to meet Jason Newsted.

[Steev]

I guess its not so bad if you got upgraded seats

Yeah its first row of the venue, only other seats left close were the Megadeth M&G with the Dean guitar(and that's like 700)

[Christen]

Have some friends who want to go so it looks like I'm going to the Regina show.

[gangrene]

Lame routing. Megadeth and BLS would be pretty cool but I don't care about the rest so no huge loss. Plus I'm already seeing Megadeth twice in September.

This. Nothing within even an 8 hour driving radius. :confused:

[marker]

I guess it's always lame or stupid routing when bands don't play in your area.:D

[IrritatedTrout]

Canadaigua, NY
Youngstown, OH
Lubbock, TX
Corpus Christi, TX
Oklahoma City, OK
Bloomington, IL
Dawson Creek, BC
Abbotsford, BC
Fargo, ND


Yet no: NYC, Washington DC, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Miami, Baltimore, or anywhere in California.

So yes, lame and/or stupid routing.
