Hmmmm it's always great to see Megadeth, and it would be good to see Lacuna Coil. I don't know much Static-X, and I'm not sure I'm likely to be overly impressed by Devildriver. Oh well.

 

[Spiff]

Pass.

 

[Dän]

Ill go, but ill be at the near by pub downing jugs with friends until megadeth go on, fucken shit line up!

 

[KoichCPA]

Wow, those bands are terrible.

 

[Goreripper]

Does that mean Lacuna Coil is opening? What a gyp.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

If LC did a side show (at a good price), I'd go along... but no way in HELL am I going near the "Dave and RoadRunner bands" tour

*still bitter that America has gotten Dream Theater, Symphony X, Into Eternity and Nevermore*

 

[Stonewall]

Yeah, I would be much more inclined to see LC at a sideshow. I have seen Megadeth twice and loved it both times, but they aren't drawcard enough to get me along to this. And it's all ages, although this is a good thing, it is a bit of a detraction for me.

Only Devildriver and Megadeth themselves are RR bands.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I could have sworn LC were signed to RR. Oh well... I'm not surprised to see them on the tour, seeing as Cristina did the duet on the god awful new version of A Tout Le Monde

 

[Goreripper]

Lacuna Coil is still on CenMed.

 

[Winmar]

I think it was a weird choice of bands, even leaving aside the badness for a second.

 

[Bucko]

mmm pretty poor line ...might still go depending on price of Tix and go just for megadeth

 

[Winmar]

What'd it cost last year?

 

[Priest of Evil]

think i'll stick with my Rust in Peace tour memories, thanks.

 

[Stonewall]

Who was on this tour last year? Did any of them do side-shows? Wondering if it is worth going to the Melb just to see LC.

 

[Winmar]

I wish LC stood for Living Colour.

Last year it was Deth with Arch Enemy, Soulfly and Caliban. I'd much prefer AE to any of this year's supports, but Soulfly weren't very exciting and I didn't bother with Caliban.

 

[Dän]

What'd it cost last year?

i didnt go, but i think it was 75?

So i would say it would be the same; if its lets than 80 I will go, if its 80.05 Im staying home

 

[Icarus]

I paid 90 bucks for my ticket last year I believe.

The Brisbane show is 91.30 so I assume Adelaide will be the same or very close to.
