Music Gigantour 2008 presents Megadeth w/ In Flames, Children of Bodom, Job for a Cowboy, and High on Fire

  • Megadeth_event_full

Sure, Dave Mustaine quit drinking and is born again, but he hasn't strayed so far from the metal path that he won't continue touring with today's biggest and baddest bands. This year's Gigantour features pioneering Gothenburg melodic death-metal act In Flames, Finnish metal gods Children of Bodom, Arizonan deathcore act Job for a Cowboy, and hometown stoner demons High on Fire. Of course, Mustaine's own band, the inimitable Megadeth, is still a titanic force on its own, and the former Metallica guitarist has even recruited Nevermore's Chris Broderick to replace the departing Glen Drover, proving that despite his newfound faith and his own branded coffee blend, the 47-year-old metal icon still knows how to throw his horns in the air.
