MEGADETH's MUSTAINE: Don't Compare GIGANTOUR To OZZFEST

July 28, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine's Gigantour festival is up and running, sharing road time with established tours such as Ozzfest and the Warped Tour. Mustaine told Launch he knows comparisons are inevitable, but he isn't encouraging them. "There are some other festivals that are out in similar nature," he said. "You know, Ozzfest has some bands from our genre and some of the subcultures and subgenres and stuff, but you know, my intention was never to be disrespectful to Ozzy or to Sharon (Osbourne) or to try to say 'Hey, Gigantour's better,' because, you know frankly, they're my friends. I would like to keep it that way."

In addition to MEGADETH, Gigantour's lineup includes DREAM THEATER, FEAR FACTORY, LIFE OF AGONY, NEVERMORE, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SYMPHONY X and BOBAFLEX.

Gigantour stops today (Thursday, July 28) at the SDSU Open Air Theatre in San Diego, California.
