[lizard]

wow...pure facts illustrating the sad state of metal in America today.

have I mentioned that the term "Gigantour" is really starting to irritate me?

 

[General Zod]

Yeah. Gigantour has been getting killed. Maybe that's why I keep reading that Megadeth sounds like shit. Dave's losing his shirt and has started drinking again.

As for the Crue numbers, I had thought they were drawing really well.

Zod

 

[lizard]

maybe he'll blame a conspiracy by the members of Metallica.

 

[NAD]

holy shit, that's pretty crap for gigantour. it ruled, somebody told me dillinger escape plan was on the bill and i thought "alright well i guess i'll go" and it was already 3 weeks after they were in the area.

 

[lizard]

dude...where did you get these figures.

 

[lurch70]

they were published by Billboard

the Crue tour has been selling out in major cities like NYC, etc ... of course some boondocks will have low attendance ... well 10K is still not bad for the Crue
I saw Vince Neil solo about a year ago in a dance club for Gods sake in Manhattan and while the place was packed, I was able to get in with no tickets ... just for wating in line that night ... so to pick up their shit in and get a succesful tour on the road is pretty good.

The Def Leppard #'s are the most surprising to me ... but they are doing a Little League Stadium tour ... which are great sizes ... + they have Bryan Adams with them ... which is a good mixed crowd.

The Gigantour is just a batch of crapy bands IMO ...

This is surprising ... on a big stop like Seattle ... I mean the new darlings Opeth ... + Lamb of God ... and all the numetal bands ... + lets not forget this is summer time ...all the kids have no school.

Fall/Winter tours must be real sad

 

[Captain Beard]

Bad for Dave. Good for Nevermore. Those numbers will help them and kill Megasuck.

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, I had no idea Gigantour was eating it that badly, though most of the live reports I've read have not been that kind to Megadeth...
