O.K. I know that the venue is almost absolutely picked for this year's show by now, but I have an idea for one that would be absolutely great. The Star Plaza in Indiana. Its surrounded by 3 or 4 hotels plus numerous resturants (Hooters, etc.), holds 4000-5000 people with all plush seating...

I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for quality websites that are good for general metal needs. Basically, I am looking for more places to spend reading metal reviews, editorials, interviews, etc. relating to metal as whole, meaning power through prog through death through black...

I have a demand for all those metal. AT progpower, we all have the chance to see 12 bands for the price of 10. You see, Mr. Jon Shaffer of Iced Earth will be attending our little shindig, and I shall remind you that he and the kingly Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian have a little side thingy...

I haven't posted for about 4 months (No computer) so I haven't noticed if a thread like this has been posted. Anyways, I have been a metal head for close to 7 years (early high school) and looking back I've noticed that metal is getting more and more prevelant in the U.S.A. Back in the day I...

I'm near good 'ol Chicago and I have to say that the scene is a 7 or 8 out of 10. In my opinion, in the times we live in, it is almost impossible to get a 10 out of 10 just because Metal is not given the support it deserves, but nonetheless the shows here are consistent and good, oh and it...

I never read or heard Jon Schaffer call Something Wicked Iced Earth's "Dark Side of the Moon", I thought he meant that the album in the coming future that will be a total full-length "something wicked" concept album was the one that he said would be their masterpiece, which he also said will be...

yes he did say that, so maybe what I'm talking about is a different thing.....

I have to agree....the idea that the preparty was goldbadge exclusive was the reason I purchased the thing.....i understand that I was extremely lucky and Glenn is extremely generous to make even an offer of getting in early, but in this area I feel a little misinformed....but this by no means...

Since the ticket is so cheap, everyone go see these bands if the tour is coming to a town near you!!!! You won't be dissapointed ;)

Today, I think the Iced Earth headlining tour begins. I would just like to see how many people are going and afterwards what everyone thought of the show. I'm going the 17th of April when they're in Chicago. This is gonna be my 3rd time seeing Iced Earth and my second time seeing InFlames...

Blind Guardain--Noldor(Dead Winter Reigns) I think this song has the best blind guardian solo ever, plus the song itself is awesome. Into the storm Mirror mirror Another Holy war Imaginations.... Lord of the Rings I didn't mention any new shit, because I'm pretty sure they will play all...

One very big band that appeared at last year's PP II Kamelot! If I am not mistaken, they are from florida. Jag Panzer Destiny's End is exceptional Dreamtheater Control Denied-I think Chuck Schuldiner(<--this may be mispelled) was from the good ol' USA R.I.P. Death-If above was...

I'd have to agree with powermetalmaniac....Iced Earth's 3-cd set is absolutely killer simply because it has 3 cds worth of quality material...but stratovarius's visions of Europe ain't bad either. There is a really cool track called holy solos which is entertaining, funny, and...

What is the best concert that you have ever attended? For being a diehard metal fan for 7 years I have only seen a handful of concerts unfortunately, mostly because I am at college and far away from the chicago metal scene (where most of the concerts are preformed), plus I don't have no money...

I have to highly reccomend Demons and Wizards, cdnow.com probably has it for less then 15 bucks, if you like BG...get it! Hansi wrote alot of catchy, and very dark, vocal lines....the first song Heaven Denied will blow you away.

Hey man, I found your Iced Earth thread very intersting, which is why I replyed to it with such length, it also made me curious to find out more about the general tastes of metal listeners these days, which is why I posted this "bad" metal thread, I didn't say you were wrong or silly to think...

Sparked from Maestro's anti Iced Earth comments, I am curious to know bands that people just don't like. There are a selection of bands in the metal scene, some of which I think don't deserve the time of day, but nevertheless get it. I'll start with some selections of my own. P.S. In writing...

I live in the Chicagoland area so I am lucky enough to have a host of metal stores in driving distance from my lifeless suburia domain....Particularly in Chicago I like "Metal Haven" which can be found on Belmont on the north side, but I also like Impulse records in a town called Roselle...

I love Iced Earth......But I also love all the other bands you mentioned. I respect your opinion , but I would like to refute some things that you said. You say that the Iced Earth vocals are sometimes "a little rough", I may be misinterpreting you, but aren't Blind Guardian's vocals sometimes...

Hello fellow metalheads, I am lucky enough to be getting a gold badge for this years festivities and I am extremely psyched.....oh I would just like to say that the new Blind Guardian is phenominal and that this festival is getting better than perfect with each band addition. I never heard...
