Ah shitballs......hopefully this isnt the case,i think 1 shitty package U.S tour is enough for this year!

This looks really good Matt, with the band on tour with Megadeth, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat that is a great line up to have. If its true also about Mayhem its going to be a good year for the USA Motorhead fans.

Motorhead headling with Megadeath support would be good but
Volbeat?

Oh dear oh dear.........

I see Gigantour as the better line up compared to Mayhem. I'm already going to see Gigantour, but I'm not sure if I'll go to Mayhem just yet. I think Volbeat is a great band, great to play with Motörhead, and Megadeth is Megadeth. There is a reason they're headlining. Would I prefer it if they were second to Motörhead? You bet. That's just not the way it would work.

Bands like Volbeat and Lacuna Coil are listened to by a lot of younger people and this has given them exposure to Motorhead on this tour, and hopefully they will come away thinking hey yes this is good and will see the band again. Its a great line up to myself and hope the tour is going well.
