Gigantour 2006

[JohnAn2112]

Anyone going to Gigantour this year? I'm leaving in about half an hour to the Oakland show today. For those of you who don't know, this is a tour that Megadeth (Mustaine mostly) started putting on. This is the 2nd year for this tour and it features Megadeth, Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, Opeth, Overkill, and a few other bands.

Wasn't Gigantour that giant robot cartoon from the 1960's?

Hell yeah. I got my platinum tickets ready for October 7th.

I would definately go if they had a show in TX . Maybe next time.

I want to go but they are sold out of GA tickets to Toronto and I don't want to sit in a damn seat at a metal show

Sorry. I can't take his review seriously after reading his comments about Opeth.

He's right though. Opeth is a very nitch sound of extreme tech metal, loved by metal elitests around the world (read: corporaterecreation, aka platypus ) Beyond their ability to shred by the numbers they arn't impressive as a show.

He's going out on tour? Cool! I hope he doesn't bring that stupid kid with him.

Here's the website!

It's this sat for us here in Denver.

But it can't be all that gigantic, since they're doing it at the Coors Ampitheather. Ugh.

Opeth is overrated.

Yeah, Opeth has the same type of followers as Dream Theater. Snobby bastards. I like Opeth somewhat, but don't like to be associated with the general crowd of Opeth fans.

I would imagine that Opeth would indeed suck live. They are a studio band, nothing more. I would think that a lot of the technical stuff they do would just be muddied and lost in the crappy arena sound systems. That and they could do like 4 songs in a set

I'd really like to see Lamb of God live though. I would think they would put on a decent show.

I wouldn't consider myself to be a snobby bastard, but I'd much rather be around the Opeth crowd than the emo/goth or nu-metal crowds.

I've seen them twice and they put on an awesome show. Sure, they don't jump around or have pyrotechnics, but each show kicked ass.
