Ok, so last summers Gigantour was one of the best things to happen to Metal in a long time. Here we have Megadeth, Dream Theater, Anthrax, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Nevermore, Fear Factory, Symphony X, Life Of Agony, Dry Kill Logic, and Bobaflex teaming up for six weeks. The brain child of Dave Mustaine, this was a festival built to rival Ozzfest. Mustaine wanted to group together talented bands, that all have possitive outlooks, and tour. Also, the goal of having a diverse show was a goal. In the end, it was one of the most impressive festivals in America in a long time. The tour comes after a break from Megadeth's last tour in support of their latest offering, The System Has Failed, and coincides with the release of Dream Theater's Octavarium.

Now the question is, will there be a second one? Talks are in the air of it coming late summer 2006. Who will it contain? I have heard that DragonForce and Arch Enemy may be joining.

Thoughts?

You can find this out on my myspace (http://www.myspace.com/mccrary), and scrolling through my comments. They left me one in response to a message I left inquiring about their touring plans. It says, "G2 is lookin' good, but still in the works!" So there you go, unless something happens, Overkill will be on G2. - In a recent interview easily found online, Gary Holt said, "We have big plans around September/October, but I've been sworn to secrecy." Given that Exodus and Megadeth were touring buddies in 2004, this looks to be a good bet. Take it for what it's worth. - Someone from Arch Enemy did come out and say they would be on the mainstage, wether it was Amott or Angela, I'm not sure. - Anthrax was rumored due to Dave and Co. really enjoying their last few dates on last year's Gigantour. So, the projected lineup for all of this so far, is: Megadeth Opeth Anthrax(possibly) Overkill Exodus Sevendust Arch Enemy Kreator (possibly) power metal band This was posted on another forum that I post at. Not sure what forum this message came from, but here it is. ---- Thanks to Corrupt for these banners! Loading...

MetalSpider Posts: 1388	Permalink 08.07.2006 - 01:09 MetalSpider Posts: 1388 Well the list isnt official...but im guessing these are the bands that look very likely. Yeah Sevendust sucks! BOO! lol. Oh and I think Kamelot might be the power metal band. Assuming the tour starts after october. ---- Thanks to Corrupt for these banners! Loading...

MetalSpider Posts: 1388	Permalink 23.07.2006 - 21:17 MetalSpider Posts: 1388 Definitely not as good as last years...which I missed but still not bad. Better than Ozzfest thats for sure...then again Ozzfest isnt really a metal fest...more of a core fest with 2-3 metal bands. ---- Thanks to Corrupt for these banners! Loading...

Also I've seen all of those bands live except Into Eternity so I don't know if I'm going to go or nto even though it is a good show. ---- I'm the Devil I Love metal check this riff it's fuckin' tasty... http://www.myspace.com/themyriadburial http://www.myspace.com/fetusfeast http://www.myspace.com/intheendofhumanexsistence Loading...

I"ve been wanting to see Arch Enemy and Megadeth forever. Plus, Lamb of God is amazing live. I haven't seen anyone better than them yet, and I've been to a lot of concerts. Loading...

I think I am going to go to Gigantour though because Arch Enemy, Opeth, and Megadeth are all amazing live. I also really want to see Into Eternity because seem like they'd be great live. ---- I'm the Devil I Love metal check this riff it's fuckin' tasty... http://www.myspace.com/themyriadburial http://www.myspace.com/fetusfeast http://www.myspace.com/intheendofhumanexsistence Loading...
Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7262	Permalink 24.07.2006 - 04:39 Dangerboner Lactation Cnslt Posts: 7262 Randy never takes a break. It seems like they're always touring or releasing new material and yet every time I've seen them his voice has been crazy. I bought both versions of New American Gospel and on the reissued one, there was a story in the booklet about Randy doing all of the vocals in all of the songs IN THE SAME DAY and didn't even lose his voice!

DarkDryad Account deleted	Permalink 08.08.2006 - 01:22 DarkDryad Account deleted I'm a bit disappointed to see all these big names. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a good show (6 metal bands out of 8 isn't bad). But all of these bands besides Overkill come each year to Canada, so to me it won't be worth paying over 50 bucks to see it in a big arena. Loading...

Staylow Account deleted	Permalink 08.08.2006 - 04:47 Staylow Account deleted I for one think this years line up is just as good as last years. Shit, Megadeth, Opeth and Into Eternity is worth the price of admission alone, as I've only seen 'deth once, and never seen Opeth or Into Eternity (both of which, especially IE, are fucking amazing), then you throw Lamb of God, Overkill and Arch Enemy into the mix?! I'd never heard of Sanctity or The Smashup before, but I checked them both out, and I gotta say I enjoyed Sanctity quite a bit, but The Smashup are absofuckinglutely terrible. I am completely stumped, pissed and bewildered at their inclusion with this tour. I'd like to know what Dave was smoking when he added them? Other than that, this looks like it's gonna kick ass! I just hope we get a damn show in Kansas City or St. Louis this year, as they skipped right the fuck over us last year. Loading...

Eternal Flames Posts: 1570	Permalink 11.09.2006 - 10:31 Eternal Flames Posts: 1570 This years Gigantour line up is a lot worse than last year. Last years line up was brilliant as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to Gigantour in October when it comes down here and I must say I was very disappointed with the Australian Gigantour line up (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Soulfly and Caliban). Personally I'm only going to see Megadeth and possibly Arch Enemy, but the tickets were a ripoff. Very disappointed with the line up as I already mentioned, but I've been waiting to see Megadeth for ages, so they are the sole reason I'm even going. Loading...
