    The new consoles

    Anyone planning to buy one (or both!) of the new games consoles this year? I've've got a PS4 on pre-order. Can't wait to finally play Battlefield with 64 players and decent graphics/frame rate!

    New Dream Theater single - The Enemy Inside

    I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already. A great heavy DT song IMO, lots of positive reaction on the net too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDhPY0fKjzQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    Anyone else keep checking back here in case Steve's had a change of heart?

    I don't know why but I can't help checking the forum every couple of days in the hope that there's been a new announcement - "Powerquest to make one more album" etc. I know it wont happen, but I can't help logging on and hoping as the page loads...

    Derby gig - What time does gig start??

    Anybody know what time the doors open tonight? I've notices that there are about 5 bands playing so i'd also like to know what time PQ will be taking to the stage and whether it will be a full length set. Anyone got the running order with start times?

    What upcoming albums are you looking forward to?

    For me it's got to be the new Dream Theater and Seventh Wonder albums. Both provisionally scheduled for next year! I can't wait to see what SW do next as The Great Escape is one of the most consistently brilliant albums I've ever heard. Hopefully (the much overated) Kamelot won't have too...

    Stones Grow her Name opinions

    I fell out of love with Sonata after failing to get into Unia. I felt that tDoG was a step in the right direction but was still bogged down with wannabe prog songs such as Deathaura and the like. For me, SGhN is the nearest thing to a return to form as we are likely to get with Sonata...

    What's with the lack of power/melodic/prog tours this year?

    I've jut realised that I haven't got a single gig to look forward to! Am I missing something or are none of the usual crowd touring this year?

    Any fans of Spanish melodic metal?

    Despite having no comprehension of the Spanish language, my brother has opened my eyes to some fantastic melodic metal from Spain. Bands such as Mago de Oz, Tierra Santa, Stravaganza and Warcry are every bit a good as the more well known English language bands (in some cases better). Check...

    PQ forum - Fave aftershave/cologne

    Yes, I know, not normal PQ forum subject matter but I just bought a new aftershave and it got me wondering what you lot smell like! My favourites at the moment are Dior Homme Intense, l'instant de Guerlain Extreme and Pure Havane by Thierry Mugler.

    New vocalist speculation thread

    Anyone have any theories about the new guy? Male/female (stranger things have happened!), established/new talent, UK/European/American etc etc. I personally feel the new guy will be a UK male and PQ will probably be his first professional gig. I also think he will have a range much...

    Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events

    So who has bought the new album and what do they think so far? Personally, I love it - not quite as good as Images and Words but better than pretty much anything else they've released. Loads of variety and very melodic. Can't wait for the Manchester Apollo show in Feb!

    Anyone being listening to the new Dream Theater samples?

    DT has been posting 1 minute samples from the new album on the Roadrunner Records YouTube channel. In my humble opinion, the new album sounds incredible so I'm a little surprised that I haven't seen any related discussion on this forum. What do you all think of DT in general and for the fans...

    Morphwiz app by Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater

    I found this on iTunes the other day and I am absolutely, completely blown away. Jordan has made what is essentially an iPad/iPhone version of the Haken Continuum fingerboard and it sounds absolutely fantastic. I have been using it all night and despite my basic knowledge of music theory, i...

    Your ideal Power Quest setlist

    I'd be really interested to see everyone's idea of a perfect Power Quest setlist. Here's mine (put together in 5 minutes so may need a bit of tweaking but you get the idea) - Ascension (as band enters) Battle Stations Glorious Children of the Dream Diamond Sky City of Lies Cemetery...

    Symphony X to tour again in 2011?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about Symphony X touring again later in the year? When I saw them in the UK, in March, Russell said they would hopefully be back in "fall". I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed that there is some truth in this!!!

    2011 "power metal" tours

    Anyone know where I can find a list of all the power metal style bands that have announced tours for this year? I know of Dream Theater in July (No, not power metal but still amazing), Firewind in September and Power Quest towards the end of the year. I'm hoping for Symphony X, Edguy...
