"It's all about musicianship and people who are positive," said Mustaine, who started the heavy metal package tour in 2005. "We want people out there who aren't afraid to do a guitar solo, and with the guys from LAMB OF GOD, OPETH, ARCH ENEMY and the other bands, we have a great new generation of guitar players out there."

Why Windowpane!!! They could have put a Ghost Reverie song in there. The Grand Conjuration or Baying of The Hounds would have been great. I love Windowpane but we got it now on 3 DVD and since Opeth songs are long and we can't have a 20 songs sets it could have been cool if they decided to put a song that is not featured on Lamentation or Roundhouse Tapes. Anyway I love the fact that megadeth put Take No Prisoners!

 

[ToMnEt]

Why just one song for opeth ??

 

[Black Session]

And why a soft song???

 

[pyr0rrzzz]

And why Lamb of God?

 

[IamReptar]

Bah! I wanted Godhead's Lament!!!!

NOOOOO!

 

[Lothlorien]

fuck mustaine and megadeth.

[Maggai]

That's very disappointing. Will probably get it anyway. I like Lamb of god. And Megadeth.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

They probably Couldnt put a whole lot of Opeth songs on there due to the long song lengths

 

[BefriendedUnit]

That's craziness. Opeth was a headliner and billed right under Megadeth and Lamb of God (Lamb of God was terrible live). There was a rumor of Mustaine trying to screw over Opeth on the tour, but I don't believe it. Were there troubles with Roadrunner or something, and they couldn't get the rights to produce a DVD with the GR songs? That's so weird that they only got one song!

If I recall, it was Opeth, Lamb of God, then Megadeth....And I really don't care that much for Lamb of God, I don't like their sound.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

If I recall, it was Opeth, Lamb of God, then Megadeth....And I really don't care that much for Lamb of God, I don't like their sound.

I'm pretty sure that Gigantour 2 was Megadeth, Lamb of God, Opeth, then Arch Enemy. And then the other guys. Argh, I so agree with you on Lamb of God though.

 

[Mr Samsara]

You guys are saying the same thing.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

We're just repeating ourselves, too.

 

[DEMIgOD]

to be fair all the main stage bands got ABOUT the same time on this dvd.

give or take a few min.

windowpane, im happy with.. if only because MET0L HEADS that get the dvd will be subjected to an amazing mellow song. Seeing as its the only mellow one on the dvd.

however, after the roundhouse tapes come out. we will now have windowpane 3 times on dvd. so another song would have been nice!

 

[chrisdoig24k]

We're just repeating ourselves, too.

Quite right, we are repeating ourselves.

 

[Slynt]

This is just fucking sick. I'd buy the DVD in an instant if the one lonely Opeth song was one not on Lamentations or The Roundhouse Tapes. But I am not buying it for yet another version of a song I am sick to death of. 'Windowpane' isn't exactly a track that has the same replayability as, say, 'Godhead's Lament', 'April Ethereal' or 'The Baying of the Hounds'.

 

[Kir-ir-Bannog]

perhaps mustaine LOVES windowpane....and could not fit in another opeth track as they are all ~10 mins long.

I was at the show and they should have atleast put on TGC.

Why Windowpane!!! They could have put a Ghost Reverie song in there. The Grand Conjuration or Baying of The Hounds would have been great.

The only song they played from GR was TGC.

Setlist from the show:
The Grand Conjuration
Leper Affinity
Windowpane
Deliverance
