Mustaine, who handpicked the bands for GIGANTOUR, says that his focus was on musicianship. “There are a few very successful tours out each summer and in order to be significant, I knew the first GIGANTOUR had to make an impact with top bands like Dream Theater, FEAR FACTORY, Dillinger Escape Plan and Nevermore,” he said. Fear Factory is also currently in the studio recording tracks for their new album Transgressions, which is slated for an August 23 release via Trillion Records. Trillion is the new imprint from Liquid 8 Records and Entertainment founder and CEO Mike Cattain who created Trillion as a home for FEAR FACTORY and new bands seeking a creative haven grounded in growth.

| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:06pm - Jesus_Slaves ""] Fear Factory and Nevermore are going to dominate. why Dry Kill Logic? they are weak |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:06pm - Jesus_Slaves ""] and Dillinger Escape Plan is pure dogshit |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:07pm - dan. ""] fear factory havent been even remotely good for years.... |
| __________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:08pm - litacore ""] yeah, this is just about the gayest bill ever created. I like Nevermore but gimme a frickin' break! R.I.P. Mustaine |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:08pm - the_reverend ""] DKL isn't terrible.. just not my bag. I don't like nevermore or symphony x though. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:09pm - the_reverend ""] oh and jim, can you honestly tell me that martyr isn't an awesome FF song? new FF sucks donkey balls. but the first CD is awesome. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:09pm - dan. ""] yeah old FF rules. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:29pm - SUBJUGATE ""] the_reverend said:oh and jim, can you honestly tell me that martyr isn't an awesome FF song? new FF sucks donkey balls. but the first CD is awesome. i liked up to souls of a new machine, tried to get into and liked a little of demanufactur saw em with maiden in i think 96 |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:30pm - the_reverend ""] exactly. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:34pm - SUBJUGATE ""] i am one of those elitist assholes that once a band fags out(metallica,slayer and machine head are now) i don't ever like em again they could go out and make a cd the equils their most popular album(master.., reign in blood and burn my eyes) and i will always remember that they sold out to cash in and to me that is unforgivable when creating music/art |
| _________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:45pm - doortop ""] I'll be there for Symphony X and Symphony X alone. If any of the other bands were ever any good, they haven't been for at least 5 years. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:48pm - dan. ""] machinehead always sucked |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:49pm - SUBJUGATE ""] eh i liked "burn my eyes" |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 2:03pm - the_reverend ""] I never really likes machinehead either. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 2:20pm - SUBJUGATE ""] they were fun to watch live and were really cool guys |
| ________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 3:03pm - Hooker ""] There's no chance of Metallica or Megadeth reclaiming their glory. Ever. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 3:06pm - DreamingInExile ""] true, but megadeth has at least stayed more true then metallica |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 3:18pm - Jesus_Slaves ""] i think Fear Factory is incredible. Raymond Herrera is one of the best drummers i've ever heard. i base alot of my vocals off of Soul of A New Machine, but the rest is amazing as well. but i'm sure someone will call me an ignorant poser wannabe for liking them. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 4:18pm - __THeMoor__ ""] Jesus_Slaves said:and Dillinger Escape Plan is pure dogshit blasphemy of the highest order! i am going to the show in manchester. on my birthday no doubt! and contrary to all the bitching, this will rule. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 4:26pm - yodaslab ""] no way man, fear factory fucking rules, i saw em' with chimaira and they put on a hell of a show, |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 4:28pm - __THeMoor__ ""] last time i saw them they played almost all stuff from obsolete, demanufacture, and the first one. nothing from digimortal, and only a few off of the new one. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 4:54pm - yodaslab ""] yeh no offense to digimortal but that just wasnt nearly as good as some of their previous stuff especially tracks like edgecrusher from obsolete, personally i dig the first track off their newest album archetype, stay away from all the digital shit, stick to the basics! |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 5:28pm - Josh_Martin ""] A friend of a friend is on Fear Factory's crew for this tour. I can get in free and probably back stage passes to and I still don't want to go to this piece of shit tour. High on Fire is awesome. Everyone else sucks shit. Fuck Mustaine and his idiotic new-found christianity. He made great music when he was a junkie. Look at him new. Legalize drugs! |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 6:36pm - Anthony nli ""] I want to see every band on this tour, this sounds awesome. Except I don't know what Dry Kill Logic are, but I won't be surprised if they suck. I plan on enjoying this show very much. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 9:32pm - yodaslab ""] you wont be dissapointed mark my words, they are a metal band from new york, you will like them, they have a unique sound, no just same ol' riffs over and over |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 2,2005 9:03pm - anonymous ""] Anyone who actually been to this? I would like to know the order of events... I don't have the time to go to the whole thing, but would love to catch Symphony X and Dream Theater... I have seen Megadeth more than enough... and could handle to miss them and the rest if I have to. :skull: |
| _________________________________ [Sep 3,2005 2:08am - kessaris ""] you can never see megadeth more than enough. Nevermore ruled. Symphony X ruled. everyone else was meh |
