I actully loved Dave's vocals when he did Sweating Bullets at Gigantour last year.
BTW does anyone know what's going on with Gigantour 2? I know nothing about it and I'm getting really anxious.

Nothing's been officially announced. He said it'll come later in the month. I'm hopin' for Symphony X to come back.

Hopefully it gets a bigger reception.

I heard last years was pretty empty at some places.



Next in playlist -Set the world afire (Sweet)

I'm hoping Opeth are on it. I'd love to see them again, seeing as how I saw them in October but they came to Pittsburgh in Feb and not Philly or Atlantic City.

I've heard rumors about Opeth, especially seeing as how their South American tour was pushed back, but I don't know if Dave would even consider them because they're death metal.

Yep, it was kind of empty in San Diego and it wasn't a big venue.
Some of the rumored bands were Overkill, Venom and Dragonforce i read something about it on wikipedia, but sometimes i just don't trust the wiki system.

[QUOTE=vashts80] but I don't know if Dave would even consider them because they're death metal.[/QUOTE]

Opeth has dark lyrics, but none of them are like kill everyone or anti-christian, Dave wouldn't have a problem with the band.

Hmmm, it may have been said before, but when is the new gigantour site comming up?

[QUOTE=pep]Hmmm, it may have been said before, but when is the new gigantour site comming up?[/QUOTE]

I've been checking it frequently but all it shows is that ominous Gigantour2 which just makes me extremely anxious. That would be amazing if Opeth were on it and Dragonforce too. That would probably bring a lot more people.

Opeth aren't death metal. But yeah like Heavy Metal Kid said, Dave would only have a problem with them if they had Anti-Christian, Satan praising lyrics.

[QUOTE=Butcher]Opeth aren't death metal.[/quote]
lolz. Just...lolz.

Guys, use common sense.

I'd say Butcher is right.

When did Megadeth last play with Venom?

No you fool, Opeth are not death metal.



[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]I'd say Butcher is right.

Dave used/likes to like Venom.. there's a few pictures around of him with Metallica, he's wearing a Venom tshirt, maybe that's where he's going with that.

yeah, Metallica, Megadeth etc etc were all influenced by Venom. I thought he meant they toured with them recently.

It's not like Venom are actually serious about that stuff anyway.

[QUOTE=Butcher]No you fool, Opeth are not death metal.[/QUOTE]
Quoted for truth. Listen to Opeth and Cryptopsy and its clear the Opeth is not Death Metal.

Lol Cryptopsy makes Cannibal Corpse look like just plain Heavy Metal.

.....that was random

[QUOTE=Mother]Lol Cryptopsy makes Cannibal Corpse look like just plain Heavy Metal.[/QUOTE]
It depends what eras you're looking at, if you're thinking about early CC(first three albums) then nah, but Cryptopsy were much more technical at that point. Cryptopsy are tech-death, really, and CC are still brutal death, although they have elements of technicality nowadays...but you can't say [I]eaten back to life[/I] is in any way tech...but [I]The wretched spawn[/I] certainly is more so. Cryptopsy just don't stand out much for me...

Thrash > Death

Opeth was asked to be on Gigantour 2 and they are seriously considering it.

I have a feeling testament may be on the bill

[QUOTE=Drone]Opeth was asked to be on Gigantour 2 and they are seriously considering it.[/QUOTE]

Oh yayer, I hope they do it.

they better hurry rounding up bands, Summer is just around the bend

Hey guys I just read that Arch Enemy are officially confirmed for Gigantour 2 and they are the only band that is officially on it so far. Besides Megadeth obviously. But man, Opeth would be amazing I really hope they join this.

Opeth on Gigantour coming here would be creamworthy.

If Opeth is on, I defiently need to go.

In the interview with Mikael that I have, he says that he wants to do it, BUT the tour goes through his only time off from touring and his wife doesn't want him to go. :p

From what I know about Mikael's personality, though, I think he will do it. I can't see him turning down a tour with one of the big 4 of the 80's.

He'd be mad to not do it.

Yes. I will be very surprised if he doesn't, but Dave has got to give them the co-headlining spot. It would be pointless to give Opeth 45 minutes, especially if a poopy band like Anthrax (IMO) got the co-headlining spot.

I think Opeth will get co-headliners. :)

So, megadeth just got singed to roadrunner.



I never liked roadrunner ... But still. Its not like I can do any thing about it.

Ugh.
I don't know why, but I don't like this.

Relax, kids...It's Megadave...he's not going to screw people over because he signed the band to a Major-label company.

Yeah Dave is too awesome to sell out... I hope.

[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Yeah Dave is too awesome to sell out... I hope.[/QUOTE]
*cough* Risk *cough*

meh, I don't think what label they're signed to will make much of a difference, even though Roadrunner have pretty crap bands these days.

They used to have some awesome bands back in the late 80's/early 90's though.

[QUOTE=Lord Abortion]Relax, kids...It's Megadave...he's not going to screw people over because he signed the band to a Major-label company.[/QUOTE]

I agree. Look at Opeth for an example. They signed to RoadRunner, but they are the same band. Megadeth will always be the Megadeth we know and love.

did Megadeth really signed on RR? I haven't seen anything on RR page or Megadeth.com.

Im not sure. It sounds like they did from the posts, but it could all be speculation.

First rule about megadeth, We dont talk about risk.

Opeth are progressive death, with jazz influence (That phrase has been used forever) But you cant lump opeth together with cryptopsy and all that.

They are Opeth for that reason.

Opeth > all

I heard Marty Friedman wrote a lot of Risk, any truth to that?
