Um... I don't think you understand the concept of what he was saying. He said there was 26 shows divided across 18 states, meaning some states that had the show, had more than one. He did not say that the US only had 18 states... and as for Pellaz, lay off of him, he was only quoting a movie (and which was not meant any condescending way towards you...)and does WAAAAY more for this festival than you can possibly imagine.

BTW, nothing personal, dude, but try to do some research into exactly how ProgPower 'ticks' -- and why it works so well -- before hopping on the board, second-guessing Glenn's methods and hurling insults at people because they said they'd be bored by Iced Earth, or because they 'didn't pay attention in school.'

I'm not gonna waste anymore time w/you, you bore me!

Yep. Almost no-one plays all fifty states, or even all 48 contiguous states. I remember on the seemingly interminable Black Album tour, Metallica made a bit of a splash by playing at least one date in every state (how often does Billings, Montana get a show?), including Alaska and Hawaii. At the time, the logistics for the Hawaii show -- which followed a string of dates in Mexico City -- were among the most challenging ever attempted by a major tour.

Hey, imagine living in Alaska or Hawaii! They get virtually nothing as far as tours.

Ehh, no biggie. I'm just in a pissy mood because I'm missing Hoyt's Halloween show tonight (after 3 days, a new flare-up of pain from The Stone).

Yeah. I also meant, like Pellaz also brought up, that it's very uncommon for a date in every single state, or even the 48 contiguous ones.

As for the "I guess you never paid attention in school", fun fact, I've been at College level academically since 3rd grade.

Yeah, well along w/things that please OTHER people, the Oakdale has also had Motley Crue, Queensrcyhe, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, etc.! & Bushnel has had concerts there, I just don't recall which bands! & the Meadows amphitheratre in HTFD would be a great venue for a REAL Metal fest. Unlike OzzFest, uh, I mean Nu-Metal fest!

You fail to understand that Iced Earth does not have the drawing power of Motley Crue, Queensryche, Dream Theater, etc.

If the venues would use the site:EventFul, they's see just how many REAL Metal-Heads there are here!

A quick search of demands in Connecticut on Eventful reveals that the highest METAL request is for Hellyeah with 89 people.

A bunch of REAL metalheads in Connecticut, eh?

Not enough to sell out a show of the size you're suggesting, for a band like Iced Earth or Blind Guardian.

(I've done quick searches of RI and MA out of curiosity, and found Hellyeah is also the most "requested" Metal band in those two states, as well. In comparison, RI has 62, and MA has 241)

While I'll admit Hellyeah isn't the best representative of the Metal community we're referring to, they're the highest Metal band on each state's demand list, since Mudvayne and Korn aren't metal.

If anyone is hoping for Symphony X, it probably won't happen. Tremont Music Hall's website has Symphony X with Epica and Into Eternity on May 2. I can't believe Symphony X is coming to Charlotte, NC. So if they r touring in May, I think it'd be too soon to do PP IX, I don't see an Atlanta tour stop, just NYC and Charlotte. But they will announce more tour dates soon enough. Plus it's only 240-250 miles from Atlanta to Charlotte which is like a 40 minute flight or a 3 hr drive, so I just don't see it happening. Not saying I don't, would be awesome for Symphony X to headline for the first time in 7 years, but like the Nightwish arguement, if they are on tour in May '08 plus already touring once this year, might be oversaturation to have them at PP IX. Just my opinion.

Hoping for Iced Earth.

SX is NOT a realistic headliner at this point...IMO Nor do I think the majority views them as such.
