That is probably the #1 thing that people just don't get on the forums... Glenn calls the shots.

If Glenn doesn't like it, they don't get chosen. Simple as that. If you want your band, either start your own festival, or at the very least put up a sponsorship bid. Put up or shut up.

Sad to see that Tarot wasn't available, but glad you tried.

Thank you Glenn for clearing up Falconer. And to anyone else I offended with my post and reaction to your reactions to it, no harm or ill will was intended. I tend to be shoot first and ask questions later, like some of you are from time to time. I am like you, I want a line-up I feel is worth my money and time. PPX as of right now just doesn't do it for me. Maybe when I can sample some of the band's work, I may change my mind. I mean I am pissed Glenn didn't use my WarGames idea with Ralph Stanley as the guest referee. I believe I posted that in a guess the bands for PPX or something, if I find it I'll repost it. But I am over it now, again no harm no foul on this end, hope the same for all.

Here is what I was referring to:

OK, here is the REAL SCOOP. On that Friday night, Lemmy, Dio, Bruce, Rob and Ozzy will face the reuniting New Kids On The Block in a WarGames steel cage match. Remember, ProgPower is held in the same building WCW used to do it's TBS shows, so Glenn has decided to pay homage to that bit of history with this great match. Guest referee will be Ralph Stanley.

All good. I hope you get to enjoy as much of the festival as I do every year regardless of the lineup. Once you come for a few years, you'll find out that the lineup is not the most important thing about it.

Ain't that the truth?!

If you don't think the lineup is good enough with no Falconer, then just don't freakin' go!! Save some money, travel to Europe and go watch Falconer there, simple enough!!! I don't wanna speak for anyone else, but I don't think Glenn needs to explain to you or whoever why he booked this or why he didn't book that.

I second that!

Check out some of Sabaton's material. They just might be enough to get you there despite no Falconer on the bill.

Oh, I agree 100% with this. I don't think many folks know about the sellout and repressing of their first disc. And this is one of those bands that seems to have a lot of outside appeal. I've been giving this CD as gifts to people, and so far everyone has loved it. It's certainly very different, which is one of the reasons I enjoy it so much.

Oh, well, hell. Just a million records sold? This guy Matos certainly ain't no Dethklok, then. He probably hasn't even surpassed the economy of Burma, let alone Belgium, in sales!

So so true!

I'm glad the whole Falconer thing was cleared up, too. I understand how it is to really want to see a band live, but you can't get pissy about it if it doesn't happen. I can honestly say that there has always been at least one band on the ProgPower roster that I've been dying to see each year. Andromeda was that band for me this year. Next year, I look forward to finally seeing Andre Matos and Royal Hunt (of course, I'm all about Fates Warning, but I have seen them three times). I'm never 100% satisfied with the lineup, but can anyone really say that they are with any festival? Sure, there are still bands out there that I think are deserving of being on this roster, but that's what future festivals are for.

Stay metal. Never rust.
