As previously reported, rumored acts for 2009's Gigantour lineup included Bullet for My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold, under annual headliners Megadeth. Now Megadeth drummer Shawn Drover has reportedly shot down those rumors with a one-word post in Megadeth.com's fan forum–"No."
However, there's truth to the stories that Megadeth are currently working on their next album with producer Andy Sneap (Opeth, Arch Enemy,) will be touring Europe with Judas Priest and Testament, and that "Holy Wars" still totally owns you.
