The 2012 Gigantour is well under way with a lineup of Megadeth, Motorhead, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat. Motorhead, out in support of their latest studio album ‘The World Is Yours,’ released in late 2010 still put on one of the loudest shows in the world and in a recent interview with SFWeekly, frontman Lemmy Kilmister checked in to talk about the tour and his thoughts on the Black Sabbath reunion.
Back in September we brought you news about the 2012 Gigantour featuring Megadeth teaming up with Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil, and now the dates for the epic tour have been announced. The bands, all hand-picked by Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, offer up an eclectic mix of speed metal meets thrash meets rockabilly meets goth rock. That’s a whole lot of metal on one bill, and a lot of bang for your buck – just as Mustaine planned.
Gibson.com polled its editors, writers and readers recently, asking them what the top metal songs ever are and the results are in. Metallica took the top spot with “Master of Puppets,” followed by Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades,” Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” and Iron Maiden’s “The Number of the Beast.” Rounding out the top ten were “War Pigs” and “Paranoid” by Sabbath, Metallica’s “One,” Maiden’s “Hallowed Be Thy Name” and Judas Priest’s “Breaking the Law.” See the top 50 at Gibson.com.
