May 13, 2008 - REVIEW OF GIGANTOUR IN THE EDMONTON SUN: "HEADBANGER HEAVEN"
Mike Ross for the Edmonton Sun has posted a review about Gigantour in Edmonton last night (May 12): "...Instead, it was wholesome, empowering, healthy heavy metal music served up to 4,500 black T-shirt-clad metalheads, though it was still loud and contained many, many utterances of the word "motherf---er." Supported by four furious metal bands - Children of Bodom, In Flames, High on Fire and Job for a Cowboy - Gigantour was just as intense a show as any concert by any of the heathen atheist rockers, if there are any left. Topping a long night of metal, Megadeth came out all guns a-blazing and didn't let up."

May 12, 2008 - "MUSTAINE, MEGADETH PULL OFF SHOW WITH REAL MUSCLE"
David Schmeichel for the Winnipeg Sun has posted a review about Gigantour in Winnipeg this past Saturday night (May 10): "Let's have a round of goat-horn salutes for Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, whose show at the Convention Centre Saturday night was a master-course in rock 'n' roll economy. Playing Winnipeg for the second time in just over a year, Mustaine and Megadeth proved you don't need flashy stage setups, pyrotechnics or even a venue with halfway decent acoustics to send thousands of metal fans home happy -- just a catalogue of proven winners, a couple new cuts for the kids, and one of the genre's most accomplished guitarists working the strings from centre stage."

May 11, 2008 - "MEGATOUR MENTORS METAL'S NEXT GENERATION"
Francois Marchand for the Edmonton Journal recently conducted an interview with Dave Mustaine. "Gigantour, which started in the summer of 2005, has quickly become Mustaine's way to bring new bands into the spotlight. "The only way I could see that I could do something with any credibility was to use the experience and the help and the strength that I've acquired and accumulated along the way and pass that on to some of the younger bands," he says."
