Official Gigantour Announcement/Discussion (updated 7/18)

[NoSoup4you]

I will for sure if the show goes to Minnesota, if it doesn't I still plan on going, but it might be less likely.

Yeah, I'm in MN too, and I really hope to god they come here because Symphony X has been my favorite band since I first got into playing guitar. I've got an uncle who wants to see Megadeth and a friend who also wants to see Symphony X, and I'd also want to see Dream Theater and Nevermore.

 

[zakk_hate_me_666]

yes!!! i just found out this morning that they're coming to atlanta georgia. to the gwinnett arena or somewhere. who is going?

 

[Rose Immortal]

OK...I seem to have lost the part of the thread where the tour dates are listed...or did I just hallucinate it?

 

[Metropolis Part 2]

Tourdates, you must visit www.gigantour.com

I can't wait. This would be my SX setlist:

Masquerade
Communion and the Oracle
The Acollade
Acollade 2
Egypt

Encore:
Rediscovery Part I
Rediscovery Part II

Now that would be awesome to see them finally playing Rediscovery

[weenur]

sweet. They are coming to Phoenix, though I don't really care for Cricket Pavillion. It's 111 degrees today... July 23... my guess is either it's going to be monsooning, sweltering, or both. Joy! I'm there, regardless!

 

[BastrdDrmr]

It is awesome that they are on this tour. I can't believe you people are hoping for Communion, Awakenings, Accolade.... it only makes sense to play a HEAVY set for this tour.

Eyes of Medusa and Dressed to Kill would be awesome to see to add to the heaviness of the set. Or maybe Dragon's Den?

 

[Rose Immortal]

Very cool, and thank you to zakk for posting the updated list!

I certainly hope there'll be more stops in the Southeast besides Atlanta and Florida, though...do the promoters think nobody listens to metal down here?

dont mention it. anything to help out a fellow sx fan.

and promoters DO think that nobody listens to metal down here. i had to drive all the way to memphis. 6 hours. to see children of bodom last year. its horrible. apparently alabama doesnt seem "metal"

We were asked to take the dates down until they could make some sort of official announcement. Make of it what you will *shrug*.

 

[NoSoup4you]

My ideal setlist:

Dressed to Kill
Communion/Oracle
Egypt
Accolade II
Rediscovery pt. I
Rediscovery pt. II

Anything's good, but Rediscovery pt II would be ultimate ass kickage.

 

[Rose Immortal]

Zakk--Memphis would actually help me out if they set a date there...

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

Dave Mustaine seems to be really wanting the bands to post on their individual announcement sections of the gigantour forums. (http://forums.gigantour.com)...

SX is now the only one without a post. Jax, might want to throw something up there just to shut Dave up

no! leave the SX one without a post, I wanna see them shred it up without a word.

 

[The Yngster]

why?

 

[Aqualung]

My dream setlist:

The Oddysey twice (the second time slightly faster so as to fit the whole thing in).

 

[wayne the goblin/robot]

ok now since i cant say this rant on the gigantour forums i will say it here.................

this tour started out with excellent bands dt, dep, megadeth, nevermore, symphony x, hell even fear factory has its share of good songs.............but uh oh!! here come two bands that suck ass. dry kill logic and bobaflex

if dave keeps adding on crap bands, than I just might leave after sx and dt play and not hear any other bands.

seriosly, it seems like symphony x is a diamond surrouded by trash on the 2nd stage.

Symphony x deserves to be on the first stage not second


ps. dont tell anyone at the gigantour forums that I said this, I dont want to get banned

I personally don't care. I might even check out the two bands that I also don't think are that great. I can understand that sx might not get good recognition by people checking out the 2nd stage because once they hear dkl and bobaflex, they might think sx will be the same...I hope not though haha. SX will shatter than 2nd stage to pieces and might as well destroy the 1st stage.

 

[bball_1523]

why?

I want it so that SX goes to the 2nd stage without saying a word and surprise the entire venue.

i was wondering who the fuck bobaflex was. they seem like crap. needs to add into eternity or 3 inches of blood. that would be better than bobaflex and dry kill logic
