this is way more bumptious than the Three Tenors would do. it's even embarrassing to read: ".... photo w Megadeth, one Megadeth autograph".... beyond belief. uke: this is supposed to be metal as underground music and scene? very nice, makes me wanna run and reserve the ticket for Carreras, Pavaroti and Domingo.

smells like christian spirit? Godmoney

 

[MajestikMøøse]

This sounds EXACTLY like what Dream Theater did a short while back (and they're mysteriously on this tour too! hmmmm.....)

 

[Will Bozarth]

no thanks!

 

[Seasons_Of_Destruction]

I wonder if the Gigantour is coming anywhere near Nashville..

 

[on_THC_24-7]

how lame!
I would only pay $250 to 'meet & greet' w/ Megadeth
if it included letting me punch Dave in the face.
Sorry but that's just how I feel about the guy for many reasons.

 

[Will Bozarth]

indeedy

 

[zmetallica]

i don't understand this idea of paying for these privilages? i think its a load of shit.

"only our rich fans can meet us"
"this way we make more money on the tour"
"we don't believe in the word free"
"this way it limits the amount of fans that swarm us cause we are just THAT popular"

 

[Satans Mom]

One word: pitiful.

Or desperate, money hungry, grasping at any nostaligic straws. "One Autograph", shameful really, to do that to his remaining fans. Like okay, you got your meet and greet, here's my auto, get outta here. DISMISSED, your package membership has been fufilled.

 

[NinjaKitten]

yep, I have to agree, thats totally lame. I wouldnt even buy one of those passes if they were cheap.

 

[unknown]

yeah that is pretty lame. I'd rather want a meet and greet with the other bands

I'd give somebody $250 to do that.

 

[Troyanasy]

I'm hoping the fence and not paying to get in..and gonna spend $250 on beer for the neveranymorals fellas
then Sit behind the autograph table and watch people try to figure out who the fuck I am and then hop back over the fence before Dream ..........almost fell asleep typing Dream...... They make me tired

 

[Loner]

Sounds like Dave is trying to pull a Metallica (bleh).

 

[Evan84]

greedy fucks

 

[General Zod]

I actually have a Platinum Package for one of the shows. A friend bought two, with the intention of selling them on eBay. Unfortunately, he didn't read the fine print. Apparently, they're non-transferrable. Since I was planning on going to the show, I took one off his hands. There are actually a few cool perks not listed there.

There are actually a few cool perks not listed there.

such as?...

 

[Souls of Black]

In my fantasy world BOTH Nevermore and Testament would boycott this after seeing the $250 special seat packages that Dave has arranged. THEN both Nevermore and Testatment would co-headline a tour with just the two of them and be able to play 90-120 min sets apeice.

Yeah, I know, I have posted this NM and TTMT proposal many times over the years, but dammit, THIS SHOULD HAPPEN.

 

[Anvil]

it'd be nice if it did... they'd have to do a vancouver date.

 

[Lynn]

None for the Michigan show? Poo on Dave's bible..
