Megadeth 9/10/06 San Bernardino, CA

The 2006 Gigantour, featuring Megadeth made a stop in Southern California. This year's show was as good as last year. All of the bands on the tour sounded great and Megadeth played a new song called 'Washingtons' and let me tell you it kicks ass. It was fun to hang out backstage while Megadeth did an autograph session. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the session because security were being pricks! Hope every Megadeth fan will get a chance to see this year's Gigantour. Here are some pictures of the show, enjoy -Ralph.
