Anthrax Guitarist Scott Ian Checks In With Gigantour Update

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has posted the following Gigantour update on the band's official website:

"Comrades,

"Cold and rainy Seattle on a Saturday afternoon and we're playing outside! Well at least the seats are covered. Gigantour has been a blast. Too short. We're only on 5 shows on this traveling metal extravaganza and I wish it was going longer. Everyone's been great to us like we've been here the whole time. Us newbies were treated very well. Edmonton and Calgary were killer. We hadn't been in those cities since 1988 if memory serves and the crowds were crazy. I am so stoked we will be back with Priest so soon. Vancouver was the best show so far. We were there last in 2000 (with Snake Sabo on guitar) so it had not been as long as the other cities but damn they were hungry. Vancouver was nuts. The circle-pit in Indians was huuuuuuge! Thank you so much and we'll see you in a few weeks as well on the Priest tour. We went to see Oasis on our night off in Vancouver. They were good. Beyond all the hype and bullshit they are a great rock band. That's my story. We've been hanging with the LOA guys who kick ass every night. I've been talking to Dave about next year. Things are in the works. I hope it pans out. I have to thank Dave as well for being so persistent in getting us on this tour. It's been a blast for us and I think for the fans as well. Our two bands together work very well. I fucking love metal. Seattle tonight.

Cheers,
Scott

PS The CDC will launch soon. We are compiling loads of content. And there will be live chats for sure. I did one yesterday in the Gigantour forum and it was great."
