    KAMELOT/EPICA in Minnesota, produced by yours truly!

    Holy crap, so I'm late in commenting, but the Lord of Sword has done it again. Sonata, then Gamma Ray, then Epica... will this crazy bastard ever stop? Let's hope not! That was the best concert. Ever. End of story. Highlight of my life thus far. Got to meet the band, drink with Mark, play...

    Epica + Kamelot in IL 9/30- who's going?

    Hey, that didn't only happen there, it happened in Minneapolis too! Evergrey, CoB, Iced Earth... at that point in time, I probably couldn't have put together a lineup I would have loved to see all at once... venue: Quest Club doors: 6:30 show: 7:30 we showed up about 6:45, and my first...

    Epica + Kamelot in IL 9/30- who's going?

    Beautiful, just fricken beautiful!!! I absolutely cannot wait for SwordLord's show!! By the way, what kind of camera do you use? I can get some pretty good pictures, but it's just your run of the mill handheld digital... but you can seriously see that Roy/Simone are the focal point there and are...

    "...even Lars Ulrich knows it's wrong..." HAHAHAHAHA Weird Al for president!

    New Weird Al Video

    GAWD DAMN! Just when you think he couldn't parody (aka: ridicule) anything better than he did with All About the Pentiums, this one comes along... I don't know what's more ingenious, the way he can emulate the pop culture crap so well, or that the topics he does it with are amazingly accurate...

    Iced Earth... Barlow.. Tim Owens..

    Now to add my $0.02 to the mix... I couldn't have stated it better myself. I've seen Iced Earth with both Barlow and Ripper. And were easily the two best shows I've ever seen. I've also seen Ripper w/ Priest (but have never seen Halford live on anything). Ripper does an OUTSTANDING job...

    Need new power metal band for listening purposes.

    GALLOGLASS !!!!!! Their newest album, Heavenseeker, sits somewhere in my top 5 favorite albums. If you love power metal, then I seriously think you need to check them out. Galloglass @ Metal Archives It's a lot like early Falconer (w/ Mathias on vocals) mixed with some of the musical...

    Devil Went Down to Georgia, Metal style!

    THAT IS FRICKEN SWEET! That is one of the most metal songs there is to begin with... but to play it metal-style is something I've ALWAYS wanted to hear. I came here like 8 months ago looking for pretty much exactly that cover, got pointed to one band that musically pulled it off (from the 60...

    Scream for me Powerfest fans!!!!!!!

    Hey, I happen to LOVE DragonForce! But yeah, the DF concert I went to was full of a bunch of posing pantywastes. A lot like the Iced Earth concert I went to back in 2002... In Flames dragged in a lot of riff raff, and when they played their older stuff (ala Jester Race), few people were...

    Scream for me Powerfest fans!!!!!!!

    Yeah, I've been watching this forum for not quite 2 weeks now and nobody has made any movement. Anyone else get sick from PP this year? I did horribly at PPV, noticeably at PPVI, but didn't get nasty until today (presumably from PPVII). Of course... I got home to iowa right around 11:30pm...

    PPVII: anti-horror stories to live with, or something.

    So, in the nature of everyone else's rants of praise, disappointment, debauchery and wallet-disgorging, I shall continue-- I had low expectations for this weekend. Not because of anything like the bands, the venue, etc... but because I tend to always over-plan things, and in the end it works...

    PP7 night one ... Freak Kitchen and Evergrey ruled!

    This really has nothing to do with your post topic, but ... nickname "The Shrike", avatar of conceptual drawing of the Razorblad God, and a math/computer joke in the signature--who the hell are you, because you're cool enough for me to buy you a beer!

    What a Night!!!

    HAHA! classic! I was seriously impressed with it. Although I was completely exhausted by the end of the night and had to finally leave the floor, it was astounding. I was completely thrown off to hear/see them play When The Walls Go Down, which is for some strange reason my favorite track...

    Evergrey- Limited Edition ProgPower USA t-shirts will be available!!

    That's fricken horrible! I must have been in line right behind "that guy". I had contemplated grabbing one for a friend because they were going to go so quickly, but figured another 5 min wouldn't hurt... and it sounded like someone in front of me was trying to buy a lot of stuff (I didn't pay...

    In the vein of Ruthven's Toto question... what about CDB?

    oh that is freakin' sweet. the vocals are a bit bland, but that's just an awesome sound :muahaha: thanks for the info
