Anyone else attend Gigantour (Megadeth) last night? - Click HERE for Original Thread

Inzane
Just wondering who else was there last night at Shaw Conference Center.

5 bands, 6 hours worth of music.

Megadeth rocked the house of course!

GOT SE-R
I wish I did.

I had a couple of friends go , they showed up 1/2 way through the CoB set and said they finnished pretty good. Inflames for being a band they had lost interest in a couple years ago put on an awsome show as well, and enjoyed it alot more than they had suspected prior. They were however slightly dissapointed with the Megadeath set, for all the shit that happened from the crowd, and the shitty sound quality due to the soundboard incident. The actual performances were awsome they said though, and they seemed to come back harder after they left each time. In the end they felt embarrased to be edmontonians (though not suprised) and would not blame megadeath if they left edmonton off the list for their next tour.

My feelins exactly. Here's my quote from another thread:

At the Megadeth (gigantour) concert last night, there were numerous incidents by some inconsiderate assholes that almost cost us the show (after waiting 4 hours and sitting through 4 opening bands...).

1. Prior to Megadeth coming out, someone in the moshpit threw a gatorade/juice bottle at the sound boards in the middle of the floor. This had the potential to cause (and perhaps did) real damage to the equipment. This caused further delay on top of regular sound checks, and got the staff and band pissed off already.

2. People in the moshpit were throwing shoes up on stage. Mustaine at one point stopped and addressed the audience warning them to stop or they'd leave the stage and end the show right there.

3. 2/3's into their set, 3-4 people somehow managed to get on stage and swarmed Dave Mustaine. Until security could respond and drag those people away. This caused the band to promptly leave the stage. Another delay of ~20min ensued until they reluctantly came back out after much coaxing. Again warning that the show would be over if that happened again.

4. A few songs later Dave was pointing to someone in the front row and looking over at security until someone was hauled away. (not sure what happened that time)

In the end we were lucky to have been able to enjoy a full show.

But goddamn, it was almost ruined. And why? We'll be lucky if Megadeth ever comes back to our city. I felt embarrassed for Edmonton last night. :geezuz:

Anyway, thank you Dave for looking past that bullshit and giving the rest of us a hell of a show!! :bowdown:




Megadeth still rules!! :bowdown:

WTF? It's only been mentioned every day on the Bear for the last several months. :lol:

Don't feel bad. I missed them last year for the same reason. :smack:

Are you going to Iron Maiden next month?

IF my buddy from Calgary can't make it up, then yes you've got yourself a ticket. I'll let you know closer to the date. (I'm not sure if he was 100%, he sounded more ~75%-ish).

AudiInProgress
Deal!

So no one else around here went to the concert last night? :dunno:

To quote Jesse Ventura:
"Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. "
:limpwrist :lol:

well techno is the way of the future, it incorperates many aspects of classical music, and has a modern twist with the help of computer technology. It is only a matter of time before you leave the past behind, and accompany prudz_lude into the future.
