Damn I wish they could have brought Overkill over. Anyway Im happy to see Megadeth again! Woo!

 

[Southy]

hmmm so many good gigs, so little money

 

[Dän]

I must say I am dissapointed with the line up, Deth and Arch are the only two worth the money really, I dont like the idea of soulfly on there at all, but thats just me

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Any other time of any other year and this would be huge, but with gigs like Nevermore and Dark Tranquillity either side...

 

[Spiff]

Ooh, the Riverstage. Might check this one out.

 

[Spiff]

Except that I don't really like any of the bands anymore. Never actually heard Soulfly because I never had any interest in checking them out, never heard of Caliban, haven't liked anything Megadeth has done since Trust, and was only really into Arch Enemy for a few minutes there.

/me skips Gigantour.

 

[mattt]

yeah im a bit disappointed by the lineup. Id only really be interested in seeing Megadeth but I wouldn't go out of my way for it..

 

[Winmar]

I'll be there!

I'd get one through that if they didn't charge extortionate amounts for booking fees.

 

[Gavin]

Fuck you guys are a bunch of whiners, its going to be fucking awesome.

 

[Winmar]

I bought Gigantour tickets for me and my brother today.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

We aren't whiners...the lineup IS weak compared to this years US and last years US Gigantour, and with a massive slew of other tours in the second half of this year, it is quite fair to question whether to attend or not. Including Kreator last night, I am going to at least 4 other gigs in coming months, and can't really afford another near $100 ticket plus travel expenses. On top of that, Megadeth is the main drawcard and I have seen them on two seperate tours on the back of The System Has Failed, and their new album has now been pushed back to 2007.

I'm not a whiner, I just have different priorities.

fair enough, i saw the tour last year in canada with anthrax on the bill which was pretty rad.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Anthrax were one of the best live bands I saw in Europe last year...awesome.
