When GLenn announced Volbeat, I really didn't know who they were, or what they were about, but I DL'd some of their stuff on iTunes, and really enjoyed it. I ended up going to ProgPower Scandinavia, and everybody in DK was talking about Volbeat. Naturally I was disappointed when the arrangement with Glenn fell through.
In steps Mustasche and another band I had no clue about, except that they had a cool f-ing kung fu video on the PPUSA board. I think these guys are going to do just fine and kick our asses in ATL.
HOWEVER, stupid me can't just let bygones be bygones, and has to search "VOLBEAT" on youtube. OH SHIT SON!!! This band was going to absolutely destroy us! I think they were going to be like Mercenary at PPIV and VII, and just blow everyone away.
I truly hope that Volbeat / their management haven't burned too much of a bridge with the past month's events, because I would love to see a double Denmark billing of Mercenary and Volbeat at ProgPower 10. There's probably indecency laws down South that I'd be violating, walking in public with a raging priaprism from that billing.
