Megadeth Gigantour 2009 Rumours Gather Pace
/ News / 28/12/2008 19:23pm
With a brand new Megadeth record set to arrive in 2009, Dave Mustaine and his cohorts are thought to be recruiting two of the biggest names in modern metal to join them on next year’s Gigantour.
According to Revolver, next year’s edition of the US mega-tour is set to feature support slots from Avenged Sevenfold and Hammerfest headliners, Bullet For My Valentine.
See Bullet For My Valentine with Opeth, Saxon, Hammerfall, Cathedral and many more at Hammerfest on April 24th-25th in Prestatyn, North Wales.
Megadeth join forces with Judas Priest and Testament in the UK for Priest Feast.





omfg….just imagine the crowd…lol…u gonna get a gay crowd dave…being a thrash band, megadeth shud tour with thrash bands…not with metal core n emo shit…
OMFG, no fer real? dude you sound like a douche, megadeth was the greatest ever (till the crown and dark tranquillity release select albums), but BFMV kicks serious ass, just listen to their riffs and try to ignore the vocals, alltho I might add mustaines vocals suck and if it werent his killer attitude and lyrics, then he would be nowhere with that voice
well i won’t be going , dave should know better then put out a line up like like that alot of deth fans won’t turn up if its all emo minus megadeth
[...] Hammer yesterday brought you news about the Gigantour 2009 and Megadeth will also tour the UK as part of Priest Feast with Judas Priest and Testament. Get [...]
Okay, gay lineup. What the hell is Megadeth touring with Avenged gayfold and the others for? He should be touring with thrash bands.
But… at least it will get him a larger audience, something Megadeth deserves.
Yo Jimmy Juice, the riff for Waking The Demon by BFMV is exactly the same as Spirit In Black by Slayer. Maybe that’s why it’s good riffs. Because they steal them.
I like both BFMV & A7X but that is a stupid move by Dave. Both sets of fans don’t mix & he’d have been better off getting the likes of Municipal Waste & Testament.
Here…Megadeth are playing 1 hell of a show…
I agree BFMV and A7X aint the best of choices, but i mean as Slayer put it when they took Trivium on Unholy Alliance, its about the money now…
Also gives BFMV and A7X the chance to open there music to a whole new crowd.
Yeah but most of the people who go to a Megadeth concert will more than likely know who BFMV and Avenged Sevenfold are anyway and either hate them or like them anyway (most probably the former amongst the more “die-hard” fans)
i sense a serious fight in the pit between megadeth fans and the pussies who like those other shit bands!!!
What? You guys too good to post my comments because I tell people that this is old and false news?
Look i love Megadeth, but i will skip this tour because i don’t want to put up with all the faggoty scene kids.
i admit i like bullet and a7x but they arent right for gigantour. bullet maybe but not a7x.
they should get fucking evile again on this tour they kicked arse on this years gigantour
Bullet is amazing…..hands down megadeth is good…but B4mv and a7x will make that show good…last years with in flames and COB will be hard to beat…
ok first off a7x and bfmv defintly do not fit in with megadeth but not all there fans are emos and scene kids. A7x’s real fans listen 2 megadeth….i listen 2 megadeth and a7x
jezzz.. last years line up is pretty hard to beat.. now daves introducing scream-o into the mix.. think it out please no gay shit at Gigantour.. Gigantour is for Giants Metal bands in the industry.. not crybabies screaming about there feelings..
a7x are not emo no matter what anyone thinks, they used to be hardcore, now they’re more into the metal/heavy metal/rock scene
Megadeth rocks like no other, Avenged Sevenfold they aren’t as good but they still can rock out this will be a great show not going to miss it.
oh please no bullet for my valentine. they suck. and don’t get me wrong i like avenged sevenfold but they are not a band that i would want to see at gigantour.
bfmv and a7x both suck but who cares show up after their done just in time for megadeath opening bands usually suck thats why their the opening bands and not headlining. megadeath is still gonna play just as good although it was definatly better with lamb of god and bodom opening
i agree with what a lot of people are saying…..a7x and bullet are pretty good they just dont belong on Gigantour.
BFMV is pretty sick, come on. A7X used to be good until M. Shadows blew out his voice
Alright here how’s it’s going to be there doing it for you the fucking fan’s and giving an ode to metal. And how would you know if that’s going to suck. Bullet for my Valentine is one of the greatest bands out there right now if you were in a metal band and you were wanting to hit it big you would wanna play with them. Just like they wanna play with some of the founder’s of metal. I’m fucking honored to no end that that line up’s going to be like that it is. How could that be bad must i say this once more they are doing it for the fans and our troop’s across the sea’s. I would never doubt them. I think testament would have been good to maybe and the other line up but megadeth desirve’s to shine just as much as they do Dave Mustaine wouldn’t do anything less then brillence and just like Matt Tuck and fucking Matt Shadow’s. All I’m saying just give it a chance man you’ll like it I promise
well i think if any guys with gay hair are there they will get beat up by the deth fans if they try to mosh to bfmv hahah. im looking forward to megadeth though
Outrageous.
Well done (most of you) for being so blinkered. Shit, I listen to all three, I must be a gay, emo, welsh metalhead.
If you dont like them, stop bitching about it, and let someone have your ticket who does.
Tivium and Slayer, Unholy Alliance, is a prime example. Happily I trod on plenty of people booing Trivium in the pit. Go to the back til your old enough, and bitch to your Mum in the car after she’s picked you up ten minutes before the end.
School in the morning!!
the gigantour was the shit last yr wtf is this “bullet for my valentine” and avenged 7fold? what kind of shit is that? I’d like to see opeth and mdeth but thats all the rest are cockrock
BFMV sucks dont mined A7X but not da big fan !! dave sould pick more heavy bands
You all know what?! all you people who say “oh i don’t wanna deal with all those whimpy gay emo’s or those faggoty scene kids!” you should know that almost EVERYONE at Sevenfold shows are OVER 21, which mean they don’t follow any label or fall into any catagory besides the drunk standing over there. i must say though that I’ve totally lost my respect for BFMV after Scream Aim Fire came out, i tried to like it, but i couldn’t! And Avenged Sevenfold is not a emo band or anything like that! Their not even metal! they’ve never called themselves metal, other people have catorgorized them as that, they just go with it because they don’t try to make themselves fit into a particular genre, they just make music that attracts people of all sorts. Metalheads (believe it or not) and other people who don’t even catorgorize themselves to be “Metalheads” “Scene” or “Emo”
Plus if you ever realized, there’s not even many emo’s that exsist anymore. Their all fuckin scene bitches who ruin EVERY genre of music possible!
Thankfully at the last Sevenfold show I went to, i counted how many there were..only 5! That’s less then the time before that.
Point is instead of blaming Dave for this “mistake” just go attend the show and kick every SCENE kids ass in sight! They all deseve to go to hell!..or if there’s a place worse then that.
thank you Whao! for putting this into perspective for all those jack asses up there. It’ll be an amazing show
im a huge fan of a7x but they shouldn’t be playing with a thrash metal band like megadeth but i do think a7x is more worthy of playing with megadeth than bfmv.
PEOPLE WHO KILL IT: AS LONG AS MEGADETH IS PLAYING WHO GIVES A SHIT.
Are all you people serious??
ONE! BFMV is not Emo, they are metalcore, Emo doesn’t even fucking exist anymore, it died in the early ’90s. Emo WAS a sub genre of hardcore punk. Two! How many thrash bands can any of you name other then Slayer or Metallica that still play together and are big enough to tour with Megadeth? Because the only 2 I can think of are Annihilator and Testament. Sorry to say but thrash is a dying genre and it’s time to give way for the new wave of metal i.e. Metalcore.
this is gay. heres my line up idea
-Megadeth
-Unearth
-Arch Enemy (again cuz they are the shit)
Or
Carcass
-Testament
anddddThe Wiggles. lol
im seriously not going of its A7X and BFMV.
i would shit my pants for Unearth.
I WILL GO JUST SEE MEGADETH, FUCK THE PUTOS EMOS
mega deth should get some hard thrash going like anterax and slayer try to get those guys on the same show and you got the best tour in history but A7x and bfmv are good but dont belong
