MEGADETH Celebrates The Success Of 'GIGANTOUR' With Their Crew - Video Available!

This past month, the 2012 version of Gigantour took over all of North America! This time around Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, who is the creator of Gigantour, brought with him Motörhead, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil! The very successful tour, which welcomed thousands of headbangers into the pit! The tour comes to a close today at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, Colorado.

Last night, at the Albuquerque, New Mexico stop of the 2012 GIGANTOUR, Megadeth organized a mixer for their devoted crew. Here is a video that bassist Dave Ellefson shot last night in midst of the party.

MEGADETH Gets Turned Down At Madison Square Garden, But Manage To Shred The Audience To Pieces!

This past weekend, the 2012 version of Gigantour took over The Theater at Madison Square Garden! This time around Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, who is the creator of Gigantour, brought with him Motörhead, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil! The sold out show, which welcomed over 6,000 headbangers, had a lot of ups and downs! While the bands all performed their very best, the volume for all four bands was too low for such a big show. As a result, many concertgoers felt ripped off! We can't blame them! Heavy Music is meant to be loud and proud.

After a stellar set from the Kings of Old School Metal, Motörhead, Megadeth took center stage and without needing to warm up started delivering the goods to a very hungry crowd. While it is obvious that Mustaine does not have the same vocal power that he used to have when he was a youngster, he still has the guitar skills that placed him in the Heavy Music spotlight many years ago. But lets not forget about the talented musicians that he is lucky enough to call his bandmates. Lets face it, its real hard to find a band that is as tight as Megadeth. Not only are bassist Dave Ellefson and drummer Shawn Drover in perfect synch when it comes to the grooving machine behind Megadeth, but the shredding skills of guitarist Chris Broderick compliment the bands overall sound perfectly.

Some of the higlights of Megadeth's set included: a duet between Dave Mustaine and Cristina Scabbia, the two very talented musicians joined forces and sang together "A Tout Le Monde" (see the video below). Another epic moment of the night was when Mustaine brought his 14 year old daughter on stage and the entire crowd sang her happy birthday! It was very cool to see Mustaine to pay tribute to his daughter in front of 6,000 maniacs. Our only complains about Megadeth's set were that their set was too short and that the volume wasn't loud enough. Apparently, those who were sitting all the way on top couldn't hear a thing!

Megadeth's setlist - New York City (1/28/2012):

1) Trust
2) Wake Up Dead
3) Hangar 18
4) Sweating Bullets
5) Angry Again
6) Public Enemy No. 1
7) Whose Life (Is It Anyways?)
8) Guns, Drugs & Money

"Gigantour is a chance to tour with like-minded artists that play heavy music in a high-energy environment, with a fan-friendly ticket price." - Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)

"We've done festivals in Europe with Lacuna Coil and they're workaholics as well! Volbeat are great, too; the whole bill is pretty diverse and I advise everyone who likes being deaf, and/or can lip-read already, to come out and see what the stuff that doesn't get any MTV Video Awards sounds like! 'Gigantour' is just that!

"Megadeth are one of the greatest bands to tread a stage anywhere and me and Dave have been promising each other we'd tour together ever since we met! Volbeat and Lacuna Coil are interesting choices and I think it's gonna be incredible trying to understand each other backstage! Come and see what eclectic means! (look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnall's)! See you!" - Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead)

Facts about TH1RT3EN:

- TH1RT3EN follows up 2009's Endgame, which was one of the most celebrated albums of the pioneering band's storied career.

- Anticipation is high and fans are anxious for a taste of new music from the legends, who have sold over 25 million albums globally throughout the course of their career, and they will get it imminently.

- TH1RT3EN also marks the recorded return of bassist Dave Ellefson who was part of the band's classic lineup from 1983 to 2002. In a move that delighted the band's legion of diehards, Ellefson returned to performing live with Megadeth in early 2010 and has remained a fixture on the stage ever since. This is the first time Ellefson has played on a Megadeth record since 2002's Rude Awakening.
