I better get some tics for this gig

Hmm, any tics left for that MEGADETH, FEAR FACTORY, DILLENGER ESCAPE PLAN,DREAM THEATRE, LIFE OF AGONY, SYMPHONY X, DRY KILL LOGIC, NEVERMORE ECT., gig at the Mid Hudson Civic Center (Poughkeepsie,NY) in August?

Hmm. BTW, despite all the controversy and bitching and rumors, THERE IS NO, AND I MEAN NO ROOM FOR LOCAL OPENERS AT THIS GIG IN AUGUST AT THE MHCC. THE MHCC DOESN'T REGURLEY BOOK LOCAL OPENERS BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO (BOOK LOCAL OPENERS) WITH THE LARGE DRAW OF THESE NATIONAL, INTERNATIONAL ACTS.. CONSIDER THE SIZE OF THIS BILL, AND IT BEING APTLY CALLED THE GIGANTOUR.

OK?!

Yes, I tortured people in 2000, and yes, I have scored a gig with Dillenger Escape Plan and Candiria for Next Man Flip ( post-experimental hard rock) in JULY 2000 at the Chance.

Please folks, let's be realistic with these local bands and not have delusions of granduer and unrealstic expections. If people, bands ect were more "practical" with thier ambitions and more rational and reasonable, they woldn't be so dissapointed in having to work their way UP into being either signed, and working with venues that allow local openers, and not trying to get gigs on the enormo tour ect.

BTW, Dave Mustaine of Megedeth's christian beliefs are getting the best of him, bowing out of gigs in Europe because "satanic" bands were booked along side Megedeth on Festival bills. Pfft, please Dave, those "satanic black metal" bands OWN you now.

Although, Jon of Dissection's infamous murder of a homosexual was a horrid crime wich here in the USA, he would STILL be doing time for.

Dave Mustaine has yet again commented on his upcoming GIGANTOUR that is set to kick off this Summer, confirming when what bands will be playing, and for how long:

Stage 1:

MEGADETH - (90 mins)
DREAM THEATER - (90 mins) - 6/21-9/3/2005
FEAR FACTORY - (45 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN - (30 mins) - 8/2-9/11/2005
NEVERMORE - (30 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005

Stage 2:

LIFE OF AGONY - (40 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005
SYMPHONY X - (30 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005
DRY KILL LOGIC - (20 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005
BOBAFLEX - (20 mins) - 6/21-9/11/2005

His message was concluded with the following statement:

"Once DREAM THEATER has to leave, I have my short list for the next act to finish out the last week of Gigantour 1 in North America; ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, and OVERKILL are just to name a few. In fact, I left things with Scott Ian and we both agreed, that it would be a perfect time and position for ANTHRAX, as I am sure it would.

"So, for now, I am pretty much done with all of the selecting talent, excluding the announcement of the "new school who does old school" metal band coming up this week. The holiday took precedence over the tour business and I was unable to wrap this up before the weekend, but it will get finished this week."
