March 27, 2012 - GIGANTOUR REVIEW: COMERICA THEATRE, PHOENIX
Carmen Garza of BeatsandBeyond has posted the following Gigantour concert review: "Not all metal rock bands are created equal. Such is the case with Megadeth as they took to the stage during their Gigantour show at Phoenix, Arizona's Comerica Theatre on Saturday, February 25, 2012. Lead singer, Dave Mustaine, channeled the rock Gods from above and masterfully headlined a performance of mega proportions filled with big music, big lights and big hair. Touring with Motörhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil could make it difficult to stand out from the rest, but Megadeth effortlessly pulled it off." Read the review at beatsandbeyond.com.

March 2, 2012 - GIGANTOUR REVIEW: GIBSON AMPHITHEATRE, UNIVERSAL CITY
Chris Epting of Noisecreep has posted the following Gigantour concert review: "One of the best bang-for-the-buck metal shows of the year, Gigantour, rolled into a sold-out Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles last week. The mini-fest, featuring a broad spectrum of sound and styles included the Italian goth metal outfit Lacuna Coil, the Danish rockabilly-metallers Volbeat, and legends Motörhead and Megadeth. ...Finally, it was the mighty Megadeth, whose varied repertoire spun from hard rock to speed metal to heavy metal to thrash to anthemic arena rock. Led by Dave Mustaine, the band delivered a complex set including "Head Crusher", "Foreclosure" and what was a highlight of the show, a blistering duet with Lacuna Coil's Scabbia on "A Tout le Monde". ...Nice job, Gigantour. Come back soon." Read the entire review at www.noisecreep.com.
