Third Time’s A Charm
Plenty of people dislike Dave Mustaine (read the Al Jourgensen cover story for one), but you have to give the Megadeth frontman credit for Gigantour.
Its virgin run in 2005 wasn’t all that impressive because a lineup clogged up by Bobaflex, Dry Kill Logic, Symphony X, and Life Of Agony wasn’t a convincing reason to part ways with $40. Lamb Of God and Opeth as main supports on the following year’s package were huge improvements over Dream Theater and Fear Factory, but the problem was still getting through all the mediocre (or worse) acts before the big guns – the roster was wildly inconsistent.
