Preview: Gigantour at Palladium Ballroom

Although Megadeth and Motörhead have toured together in the past, it's always an inspired pairing. On the one hand, you get the more structured metallic roar of Dave Mustaine and Megadeth.

Personally, I prefer the latter, but true metalheads will always have a soft spot for such classic Megadeth efforts as Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? and Rust in Peace. Of course, seeing that both bands have been around for well over 30 years, their legacy is fairly safe. Volbeat and Lacuna Coil open.
