MEGADETH: Filming Starts For GIGANTOUR Documentary DVD

May 28, 2005

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine and director Michael Sarna (MEGADETH's "Of Mice and Men" video) were together on Friday (May 27) filming material for the Gigantour documentary DVD. According to Mustaine, footage filmed so far includes "just more preliminary stuff like when we confirmed some of the other bands, and phone calls, etc. Also interview footage of why I am undertaking this insanity." The documentary will include everything from behind the "metal curtain" of Mustaine's office, working on the last details of the tour, to pre-production, to rehearsals and the bands all meeting up in Fresno, California, to taking the mighty festival on the road. Songs from the various bands on the tour, soundchecks, and other various stuff will be included on the DVD.

Gigantour is a six-week festival trek co-headlined by MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER. Other main-stage acts include FEAR FACTORY, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and NEVERMORE. Artists scheduled to appear on the second stage are LIFE OF AGONY, DRY KILL LOGIC, SYMPHONY X and BOBAFLEX.
