Another country, another town, another place, the greatest road warriors in rock have once again bled their sweat all over another stage. A sold-out crowd roars their approval. Here we go: Lemmy steps up to the mike… “WE ARE MOTÖRHEAD ! . . . AND WE PLAY ROCK‘N‘ROLL !”

And after each show one thing is crystal clear: Motörhead remain the finest, loudest, hardest and coolest live British rock’n’roll band around. The global tour for their 20th studio release, The Wörld is Yours, took in Motörhead bangers from America to Argentina, Belgium to Brazil, from Sweden to Spain and dozens of other countries all over the world.

In celebration of their 35 years on the road, on January 24th Motörhead Music/UDR is proud to present: The Wörld Is Ours-Vol 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else, a blistering DVD containing some of the finest moments from the tour, including the entire performance from Chile’s Teatro Caupolican, shot and filmed in classic black and white by Banger Films and Sam Dunn (Iron Maiden Flight 666, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage). Mixed by the band‘s long-time producer Cameron Webb, The Wörld Is Ours – Vol 1 – Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else is stuffed with the classics Motörfans demand, from ‘Overkill‘ to “Ace Of Spades” to “Killed By Death” as well as some old gems like “Over The Top” and new favorites such as “I Know How To Die.”

As well as this epic Motörperformance, exciting numbers from the shows in Manchester and New York are also included on the triple-disc digipack set, along with a series of extensive, in depth and exclusive interviews with the band, a bonus double live CD of the Chile show (incl. selected tracks from NY & Manchester), plus a superbly photographed booklet documenting life on the road during the tour.

On January 26, Motörhead make their return to the U.S. and Canada on the multi-bill festival, GIGANTOUR, with Megadeth, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. Gigantour is a chance to tour with like-minded artists “that play heavy music in a high-energy environment,” says Dave Mustaine. The tour will kick off on Jan. 26 in Camden, NJ and run through Feb. 28 in Denver, and will include stops in NY (Jan. 28) and Los Angeles (Feb. 24).

GIGANTOUR—the critically acclaimed package festival founded in 2005 by esteemed metal titans MEGADETH–will make its highly anticipated return for the first time since 2008. The multi-artist bill–with metal heavyweights MOTÖRHEAD, VOLBEAT and LACUNA COIL all personally picked by MEGADETH frontman DAVE MUSTAINE–will kick off January 26 in Camden, NJ. Before wrapping February 28 in Denver, CO, the tour will make stops all across the U.S. and Canada including a January 28 show in New York and February 24 in Los Angeles. Tickets are on-sale beginning November 4. For more information visit: http://www.gigantour.com. MEGADETH has also teamed up with VIPNation.com to provide fans with Ultimate VIP packages including premium tickets, meet and greets, exclusive gifts and more. Go to www.megadeth.com for all the details.

GIGANTOUR is a chance to, as MUSTAINE says, tour with like-minded artists “that play heavy music in a high-energy environment,” with a fan-friendly ticket price. He founded the tour in 2005 and invited such artists as Anthrax, Dream Theater, Fear Factory, Lamb of God, Opeth, Static-X and In Flames to join MEGADETH.

Lemmy, frontman of the legendary MOTÖRHEAD, looks forward to performing at this year’s GIGANTOUR amongst all the other talented musicians. “We’ve done festivals in Europe with Lacuna Coil and they’re workaholics as well! Volbeat are great too; the whole bill is pretty diverse and I advise everyone who likes being deaf, and/or can lip-read already, to come out and see what the stuff that doesn’t get any MTV Video Awards sounds like! Gigantour is just that!”

He goes on to say, “Megadeth are one of the greatest bands to tread a stage anywhere and me and Dave have been promising each other we’d tour together ever since we met! Volbeat and Lacuna Coil are interesting choices and I think it’s gonna be incredible trying to understand each other backstage! Come and see what eclectic means! (look THAT up in your Funk & Wagnall‘s)! See you!”

VOLBEAT vocalist and guitarist Michael Poulsensaid the band couldn’t refuse MUSTAINE‘s offer to join the tour. “This is something you don’t think twice about; it’s a must and a blessing. They [Megadeth and Motörhead] are two of the world’s biggest/best and most important bands in heavy rock history. Since the beginning, Megadeth and Motörhead have been a huge inspiration of my/our musical careers. To have the opportunity to go on the road and share the stage with these two legendary rock bands, is another dream come true in the Volbeat adventure. We are very thankful and cannot wait to play in front of these two legendary bands’ audience for some intense minutes of Volbeat rock!”

LACUNA COIL is eager to return for their second GIGANTOUR; they first performed as part of the 2007 tour. “When we were invited to join Gigantour once again, we were really happy as it seems like the perfect way to start the Dark Adrenaline album cycle in the US,” says co-vocalist Andrea Ferro. “Our new album will be released during the tour and it’s gonna be great. We will be playing alongside metal legends like Megadeth and Motörhead and it’s gonna be awesome. It’s a great touring package with two classic bands and two younger bands who each have a unique sound like Lacuna Coil and Volbeat. I Can’t wait!”

Co-vocalist Cristina Scabbia agrees. “WOW! Gigantour! I am super excited!! I mean are you kidding me? A tour with Megadeth, Motörhead, Vollbeat and us? This is going to be so crushing that I think the walls are gonna fall down in some of the venues!! Are you guys ready? I definitely am!”

MEGADETH
RUST IN PEACE LIVE
DVD
Shout Factory
8.5 out of 10

For many years Rust In Peace was the worst album Megadeth ever put out to me. Sure it had Holy Wars…The Punishment Due and Hanger 18 but that was about it. There always seemed to be something missing on that album for me. Granted Holy Wars…The Punishment Due was almost good enough to save the entire record it was THAT GOOD.
Then a string of crappy albums came out from Cryptic Writings on, and I realized that Rust In Peace wasn’t that bad. There are three or four songs on every Megadeth album that stand out. Never enough to make an entire album listenable, but enough to keep the band and my version of their ‘greatest hits’ in constant rotation of my iPod. Give me Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good, Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying, and So Far, So Good…So What. Those albums front to back are pretty much flawless. And I’m not talking about the remastered versions where Dave went in there and fucked up the songs adding parts, changing lyrics, and generally fucking up his legacy. Did he not see Star Wars episodes 1-3? Does he not know how George Lucas fucked up our childhood memories? Now Dave has fucked with my Adolescence. You can’t rewrite history. You can try, but all you do is fuck it up generally.

20 years after RiP was released Dave Mustaine & Co decided it was time to celebrate this so-so album and perform it in its entirety. Thankfully Dave (Jr) Ellefson rejoined the band shortly before this tour so we get the best player Megadeth has had performing the music he helped create 20 years ago. Chris Broderick is a decent guitarist and stands up well beside Mustaine. Trading rhythm and lead with Dave quite deftly. And Shawn Drover keeps the time and flourishes behind the drum kit throughout the show. Adding his own fills in to long established songs could go horribly wrong to those purists out there, but Shawn puts his own touch on and certainly adds to material. To me most notably on Five Magics, which is such a time convoluted song, that left in the hands of a lesser drummer could sound like a complete mess and just end up with the band standing on stage with their proverbial dicks in their hands.

The two biggest distractions on the DVD for me were Dave’s voice and the crowd noise.
There is a fine balance to be found (however difficult it may be to find it) between feeling as if you are AT the show while sitting on your couch watching it, and having some shrieking asshole screaming in your ear for 90 minutes. This may be the first DVD that I’ve ever actually been able to hear people screaming at the band and be able to decipher what they say. In post production the producer and engineer always juice the crowd up in between songs, after solos, etc. But at time this almost sounds like a bootleg with some dude standing in the crowd with a mic and people screaming around him. Turn the crowd down already! I don’t want to hear them. And I don’t care if they are shitting their brains out because you’re playing Lucretia for the first time in 20 years.
Dave’s voice in his higher octave (if you can call it an octave) is shot. He sounds like he’s on helium when he sings parts of Holy Wars and Tornado of Souls. I noticed it when I saw the cinecast of THE BIG FOUR at Sonisphere, and it has caused me much pause in purchasing the landmark event on DVD because of Dave’s voice at that show. I was really hoping that this DVD recorded a couple months before that show would show a stronger voiced Mustaine. And in many parts it did, But Dawn Patrol, parts of Holy Wars, and Polaris it is rough when he reaches for those high notes.
Last complaint is the kick drums. Very flat and crisp. A certain lack of bottom end from the mix for sure. Definitely takes away from the ‘live feel’ of the DVD. The kick drum hits you in the forehead instead of right in the chest like it should.

Visually it is stunning. And the encore or bonus songs at the end, In My Darkest Hour (with more helium voiced Dave), Trust, Peace Sells, etc, round out a great set of music. Yes I said I wasn’t much of a fan of the album, but really, take out Five Magics, Poison Was The Cure, and Lucretia and you really have a good set, add in the other songs, and you have a great concert. The crowd (annoying screamers aside) appears to really be into the show and the moshing and crowd surfing are plentiful throughout the show.
I know I am in the minority with my opinions of Rust In Peace the album, and I did give the DVD high marks because Megadeth live is aurally and visually is a good time and whiplash is guaranteed. That being said, you will want to go out and get RUST IN PEACE LIVE. You will enjoy it, and you will thank me later.

Universal Music will release “The Big Four: Live From Sofia, Bulgaria” DVD and Blu-ray containing footage of the June 22, 2010 Sonisphere cinecast from the Sofia, Bulgaria leg of the touring rock festival featuring the “Big Four” of 1980s thrash metal — METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX.
