Final 2 Headliners - Page 7

And Glenn, wasn't it the case that there was no conflict when they signed up for the Disturbed tour initially, but only after a delay was put on the tour that a conflict occured, and Nevermore decided to stick with the tour instead of possibly having to cancel their tour appearance otherwise?

I do hope that you reconsider and try to bring them here again. As many. As we'll tell you regularly hehe.

That is 100% correct. The vocalist for Disturbed was having vocal problems and they pushed it back as a result. I believe it ended up being canceled in the end.

In regards to the last time, they were offered the opening slot on the Disturbed European tour after having committed to me. Now, they had a choice of playing in front of 1,200 of their dedicated fans for a single night or opening for 2,000-3,000 potential new fans each night over an entire tour. That was a no brainer from a business perspective and I of course understood. I couldn't blame them.

That said, it's really hard for me to go back to the well a third time because of the track record.

So you've asked them to headline IX?

Hey Glenn,

It's cool man. I understand. I wasn't dissing the band. Was just saying, that if they were just being dicks, then fuck them. I didn't know all the details. I am still their fan!

I personally can't fathom why any REAL Metal band would tour w/a crappy

Alterncrap/Nu Metal-(Poser Metal)

band though! But, that's just me I guess. I'd have held out for a REAL metal band, underground-(Iced Earth, for example), or classic-(Maiden, for example) to tour w/, & I doubt highly that a band like NM would have any troubles w/that!

If I was a vocalist for a band, & only screamed
like that guy does, as opposed to actually singing, I'd have probs w/my voice too!

I could not disagree with you more. I think he has an amazing voice, sings with passion, and doesn't "scream" (save for an occassional monkey fuck howl).

Disturbed is a pretty good hard rock band and don't claim to be metal. I kinda think ur attitude of how REAL metallers cant be seen with lesser metal though, like that lame Manowar shit

If Nevermore actually end up playing at some point, Zod and I will find a way to dethrone Swordlord from the rail. (Or maybe we'll just say pretty please with kryptonite on top

).

Well, Disturbed's singles are crappy, but that's how Clear Channel Approved (tm) singles tend to be. I really like Deify and Just Stop, personally. Remember is also a good track.

Iced Earth would have to be one of the choices for headliners..Could u imagine hearing them in the confines of Earthlink..they would lay waste...One of the premier Power metal bands in the world and being American it would only make sense that Iced earth plays progpower one of these days./..Only thing that might be a problem is they may be touring around that time
