PP USA XIII: Official Guess the Roster Contest *ENDS TODAY!*

7. Anathema

While I love Anathema, I don't know if people would be ready to have someone like them as a headliner, maybe a lead-in to the headliner though. I sure as hell wouldn't complain though.

Snap.. I should of changed one of mine to X-Japan or someone like that. You never know

While I can see where you are coming from, at the same time Anathema hasnt played in the US in YEARS and I think if Therion can headline so can Anathema.

It depends. I think it's very possible you could get a number of Anathema fans who aren't necessarily fans of the other acts. At the same time though, are there a lot of Anathema fans that will pay that much to see them?

Anathema played in the US two months ago.

Anathema played in the US two months ago.

I don't think most qualify those as "true" Anathema shows though.

It's that time again.....

Here are the rules:

1. List the roster of bands in order from opener to headliner on each night (i.e.: #1 = opener)
2. There will be 7 bands on Friday & 6 on Saturday.
3. You will recieve one point for the correct night, two points for the correct band, and three points for the correct slot.
4. You are allowed only one entry. It must be posted in this thread by July 16th.

Winner receives a complimentary ticket/gold badge to all four nights next year.

Good luck.

We gonna get the excel spreadsheet again this year>

True, though the "spirit" of the band was definitely there. That being said, I'd love to see Anathema as a full band anywhere in the US. If it's at Center Stage in Atlanta, even better!

[Justin G]

Is this more a wish list or a guest? Think TTD might finally get a chance to slay that announce? HAHA
I could see Ghost being possible, um maybe not... But pretty Maids would be well worth admission alone.

A bit of both. If it was a pure wish list, I would have included Wolf, Starbreaker, Allen-Lande and maybe Saxon.

[DarkOne]

I won this contest last year. I still don't know how that happened. Proving that I really don't know much about music, I submit my entry for this year. I chose not to put in any oddball bands, because there's no way in hell I'd ever get that right.

Fri
1 Aska - US under-the-radar band kicks off the fest
2 Cynthesis - Big buzz and high album ratings from some of the Zero Hour team
3 Kingcrow - Many expected them to play this year's fest
4 Grand Magus - A northern 'viking' band is now mandatory, right?
5 Serenity - Glenn tries again for the melodic power/prog band
6 Wolverine - Masters of mellow make their PP debut on the heels of a new album
7 Masterplan - Jorn returns to Masterplan and to PP (Russell Allen comes out for an Allen-Lande encore song)


Sat
1 Jolly - Buzz and a Harveston recommendation get this prog band an opening slot.
2 Sons of Seasons - Keyboards and a prog/power blend
3 Arcturus (Just Kidding!) Mystic Prophecy - Traditional power metal - huge catalog
4 Falconer - Appeasing the crowd on a long requested band, just as they release a non-English album
5 Pretty Maids - Satisfying the 'old school metal' slot, and another long requested entry
6 Symphony X - Yes they tour the US. Yes, they've been here before. Yes, they draw a crowd.


Steve in Philly (who thinks this lineup might be a little expensive, but not crazy back-loaded on headliners)

 

[J-Man]

1 Aska - US under-the-radar band kicks off the fest

I would have to AGREE totally with this selection, and damn i forgot them on my list, they would be perfect. If not the main fest then The Showcase definetely

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

I don't think most qualify those as "true" Anathema shows though.

I thought those shows with Blackfield were canceled.

 

[J-Man]

Huh???? VolBeat are bigger now than all those bands put together ...

As much as I would love to see them, I have to agree, if they did Play PP I think they would have to be a Headliner, i might be wrong.

 

[AngraRULES]

I thought those shows with Blackfield were canceled.

Some were. Everything leading up to Steven Wilson's father's passing went on flawlessly. I was there.

 

[Fizrider]

My first shot at this slot machine...

Friday:
(1) 7 Kingdoms
(2) Amaranthe
(3) Eumeria
(4) PowerQuest
(5) Falconer
(6) Nightwish
(7) Helloween

Saturday
(1) Aeon Zen
(2) Halcyon Way
(3)Tesseract
(4) Edguy
(5) Firewind
(6) W.A.S.P.

I mean, Glenn doesn't restrict bands from mingling and signing stuff, and doesn't charge for the autograph tables - Blackie digs that, I'm sure...
