[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Yep, they were Jay, and Anthrax were here in May with the classic lineup.

*cries*

I saw the Classic Anthrax at Download, they were pretty awesome

Live bands: Maiden>Megadeth>Cradle of filth>Dragonforce>Slipknot

Probably my top 5. I've seen a load of bands now, though, I suppose, Download counted for a Few; Anthrax, Slayer, Slipknot, Send more paramedics, Nepalm Death, 3 inches of blood, Trivium.

What kind of age limits are there at concerts?

Most likely 14+
Depends on the country and venue

If the venue sells alchohol then it's probably 18+ depending in what country.

Cool, never had the chance to see a [I]real[/I] band play. Probably due to the fact that very few [I]real[/I] bands ever come here. :-\

There have actually been quite a few good bands coming this way lately, Jay.

Megadeth
Anthrax
Children Of Bodom
Dismember
Nile
Arch Enemy

and next year:
Behemoth in Jan
Possibly Cryptopsy in April
Exodus and The Haunted in March
Opeth in April
Blind Guardian and Cannibal Corpse have been rumoured to be coming also.

Fix'd

Well Destruction were here a couple of years back.

I hadn't heard of Destruction until your mailing list:p

BTW, What's your avatar all about?

It is the cover of Carcass' [I]Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious[/I].

Aah, fair enough.

Shortest Thrash album ever?

You not a Slayer fan Jay?
it's the obvious miss from your avatar...

They occasionally have their moments, nice riffs and solos etc. but I hate the vocals with a passion.

I would replace Testament with Sepultura if it were me, but I know you're a large Testament fan.

I consider Araya vocals on their first 3 as some of the absolute best in thrash.

I prefer Chuck Billy. Obviously. Steve Souuza (sp?) has a fairly good voice for thrash as well.

I've always thought Testament was very 'meh' except for Alex Skolnick.

Souza is good though.

I like how some of Skolnicks jazz influences shined through in some places. Notably on Perilous Nation.

Whoa, this is the Megadeth thread.

Hmm that's true, so how about Gigantour 2? Do you think Megadeth will be touring in support of it? and who do you think they will get on the list of bands?

If Maiden toured North America with Megadeth in support of their new albums... That would be one of the most memorable concerts ever.

What does everyone want for Gigantour 2?

Megadeths new cd should be pretty frickin good. The should go on tour cause this summer they were just at gigantour with a bunch of other bands

Personally I could see Maiden touring with Megadeth on a Gigantour.

I'm sure Dave would welcome it, and Maiden would love the chance to rub Sharon Osbourne's face in it, by going on the better tour.

Personally, I don't think Miaden are good enough to be in the same country as Megadeth, let alone the same tour, but there we go.

Ha, classic first post.
Welcome dude.

Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, and Symphony X. That would beat teh sh[COLOR="Silver"]i[/COLOR]t off of Ozzfest

[QUOTE=metal guitar]Ha, classic first post.
Welcome dude.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the welcome.
But seriously, I think maiden are way behind megadeth in almost every quarter musically. Far less skill in the guitar and Dave writes music that makes Maiden seem in their 'high school band stage'. I think it'd be far better for megadeth to go on tour with metallica... but with Dave's track record, that isn't gonna happen too soon.

[QUOTE=Aw3someman]Maiden, Megadeth, Dream Theater, and [B]Symphony X[/B]. That would beat teh sh[COLOR="Silver"]i[/COLOR]t off of Ozzfest[/QUOTE]

Then venue I saw them at, they didn't have the side stage bands. :angry: I just got to see Nevermore, Fear Factory, DT, and Megadeth. If a gigantour2 comes along I don't wouldn't want to see repeated bands, hopefully if he does go through with this he'll keep picking different bands every year.

Your mother doesn't deserve to be in the same room as my wang, but there you go.

Jeese, forget I said anything. Maiden and megadeth would be AMAZING on the same tour. That better?
