Whoa! This thread is a blast from the past! :D And of course, I bought tix for me & Urban today to three of the shows. Hopefully he won't be on tour that weekend. :)

Been wanting to see this band a long time; almost went to Baltimore to do so last year but couldn't at the time. It may not be most people's favorite, but Contagious was one of the first tapes I owned when I started getting into hard rock & metal. Shaye

I approve. ;) Shaye

On the contrary! Urban also thinks Urban sings in key. :D Now, now, let's not get crazy here. Put down the labels and slowly back away... there, yes, over toward the bar. Now make yourself a nice bourbon. Better? Good. Shaye

Yep, yep! I always considered them more just plain old "metal" than power metal, and I think Urban would agree. ;) I think there's just a tendency for people to want to further subdivide/describe stuff and they get lumped in there. Or you could go 'like' his Facebook page to keep up. ;) Shaye

We play board games when we can, but alas, it isn't as often these days with us living outside of Atlanta and Urban on tour a good bit. I grew up playing the 'standards' with my family; we were always playing something or other, a little D&D when I was in high school... I think Urban's...

My mom has asked me several times over the years "So when is ProgPower?" Of course, she's also met about 10 regular attendees, not counting me and Urban. :D Shaye

My arm has been twisted so there will be bourbon balls... I'm going to buy the rest of the ingredients tonight (I bought the bourbon a month ago). :D :grin: Added to the list of things to tell her about! Shaye

Looks like we three Breeds will be there. :) (It's my stepdaughter's first year attending.) Shaye

I guessed all Swedish (or Swedish-related) bands last year as a joke and still got 3 right, if you still count Morgana Lefay. :D Shaye

People, write your Congress critters. Seriously. Don't rant & rave, but most of you can certainly make a cogent argument that the entire visa process *particularly* for artists is overly complex and unwieldy. Not that it did a damn bit of good when I did so after my own personal challenges with...

This may be a little early, but if anyone has to give up a room at the Artmore (or the Residence Inn), I'd be happy to take it off your hands. Would prefer something with 2 beds, but I'm focusing on location atm. I have a backup plan but would prefer to be at the Artmore again. Feel free to...

That sounds interesting... I'll have to give that series a read. For my part, I often feel overwhelmed and thus wind up listening to even less new stuff that I feel I should. Will be interested to hear from you in 30 days. :)

Have you actually heard anything they've done since 1986? Shaye

:rock:

Well, welcome to the Urban breed fanclub! :loco: They actually have a couple of shows lined up for the next few weeks (once the Serious Black tour is finished), but alas, nothing close to here. One day, one day... :) Shaye Breed

As usual, I agree with Zod: it really seems as though it's much more down to other factors than genre, although to geography, I would add socio-economic status, religion, etc., of course. Personally, yeah, I'm just this side of a card-carrying socialist, although there are issues/items I...

And let me just say those guys are doing an *amazing* job. I just can't get over how well they're filling those big shoes. I hope I get a chance to see them with Roland and Thomen, too, but I'm glad they found such able replacements in Bob and Ramy. :kickass: Shaye

This is pretty much how I wound up there as well--I'd heard Vanden Plas who wound up not playing, but wasn't familiar with anyone else. Yet. I don't remember for sure, but I'm thinking Britt and Harley mentioned it first. I do remember being a little appalled at myself for not already knowing...

I don't doubt that using the term "investment" is problematic to say the least, but... Am I the only one reminded of patronage here?
