July 5, 2008 - 'GIGANTOUR 2' DVD: "THE PERFORMANCES ARE TOP NOTCH"
A review of the Gigantour 2 DVD has been posted in the 'Heavy Metal Addiction' section at wordpress.com: "Audio and visual are professionally well done, the band’s are all in top form, and the performances are brutal, headbanging, and amazing. Some of the bands on the tour I was only a casual fan of (Arch Enemy, Opeth, Lamb Of God) but now I will pay a lot more attention to them. Into Eternity and Overkill were already bands I enjoyed but seeing a bit of live stuff has me looking forward to their next tours. Megadeth never disappoints…..I’ve seen them live many times and they always put in a solid show. If you want to see some different bands, some heavy bands, some bands that are huge in the Metal scene then go pick up Gigantour 2 DVD." MORE
