I wish they would add a NYC date (Hartford, CT would work too). Would love to see this tour!

[zedowns]

[J-Man]

[Metalmilitia2000]

And the midwest gets fucked. Dave didn't even wear a rubber. I'm gonna go sit on my hemorrhoid cushion because my ass hurts now.

 

[mel_progson]

oh man thats a megadeth fans wet dream. damn living on the other side of the planet.

 

[longshot9]

No SF dates I'll wait and hope they reschedule the tour with Slayer & Testament

 

[Dustro25]

why start in Spokane?? 5hrs east off Seattle? wierd...

 

[shaq]

I can't believe they're completely skipping the NYC area on this. I want to travel for it, but of course the "close" (and by close I mean 4-5 hours) shows are all in the middle of the week. I need to see this tour.

 

[guardian26]

ARGH! That will be a great show, too bad no NYC dates!

Check your email. I got something for you. =)

 

[The_Metal_Messiah]

SWEET!!!!! I'll be at the Atlanta show!!!

Plus, I already have an American Carnage ticket, so Ill be seeing them again whenever that gets rescheduled!!! WHOO!!!! Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, and Slayer all within a few months. Holy crap. Plus a week after the Atlanta date, I've got a front row ticket for the Experience Hendrix tour!

 

[VenomGA]

doesn;t quite make up for the tour they had with Slayer....BUT!!!!!!!!

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Scranton, PA.! Fucking fifteen minutes from my house! Hell yes!

 

[Spiderpact]

Tour of the year, and they bypass SLC in favor of freaking Boise?!?!

Sorry to slag anyone from Boise, but that just flat out blows!

 

[TheGraveDigger]

I bet they are passing on a lot of obvious spots because of the routing of the tour with Slayer which will soon be rescheduled. If Megadeth puts themselves out there in those areas now people may not come out for the Slayer tour. This does suck since I am in the NYC area and the closest shows are Buffalo NY, Scranton, PA and Baltimore, MD.

 

[Bryan316]

Nothing for Detroit.

Boo.

And the midwest gets fucked. Dave didn't even wear a rubber. I'm gonna go sit on my hemorrhoid cushion because my ass hurts now.

Seriously, wtf is up with that? No Chicago? The closest to me is Indianapolis and that's too far for me.

I think this is what is happening. Megadeth appears to be avoiding markets that they hit last November/December and markets that are on the Megadeth/Slayer itinerary. With that said, I wonder if El Paso, Houston, & Atlanta will lose their Megadeth/Slayer stop when the rescheduled dates are announced.

I wish there was a show close enough to drive to from where I live.

 

[killingfield]

HOLY CRAP!!!!

I guess i'll be going to the Hollywood show!!! Megadeth/Exodus/Testament and Hammerfall in the same week. This year is awesome!!!! Can't wait to hear Take No Prisioners, Poison was the Cure, Rust in Peace...Polaris, heck the whole RIP album live!!!!
