    Does 'extreme metal' have a place in ProgPower?

    Opeth are magnificient, but do they deserve a place on the ProgPower roster? I'm quite sure they do, but are the crowd ready? An Opeth gig is typically quite hysterical and filled with pandemonia...quite the opposite to a prog/power crowd perhaps? Also, what about other extreme metal acts...

    Luca Turilli

    Just wanted to say that I was pleased to see you commend "Prophet of the Last Eclipse". I was shocked at just how good this album is. On a side note, it's not like you need all the Rhapsody albums, but what do you think of Symphony of Enchanted Lands? Regardless of the style, I definitely...

    To all the fans who just sat there....

    Why bother even showing up? You looked bored, and never even clapped after the songs (for either the power or the prog bands during the entire event). This concert is an event of a lifetime for the real fans who travelled thousands of miles, and if you are that bored that you fall asleep in...

    Freedom Call

    I have Stairway to Fairyland - fantastic. Are the other CDs as good? I'm really impressed by Dan Zimmermans writing - he probably wrote the best tracks on New World Order too. Damn the Machine is magic. :)

    Primal Fear

    Don't you think they're a bit overrated? I thought Nuclear Fire was a real let down and didn't add anything innovating, other than being another Painkiller clone.

    If you have to make a top ten list by December 31st '02, is there anything you've heard so far this year that will almost certainly make that list? I'll go with these so far: Blind Guardian - Night at the Opera Soilwork - Natural Born Chaos

    Line 7 POD settings

    Is there a site anywhere that lists POD settings to resemble guitarists sounds? For example, Guitar School magazine publishes the settings for each track they transcribe - so is there like a repository/catalog somewhere for these settings? Or does anyone reading this have a few they can...

    Zakk Wylde

    What are his squeals made up of? The obvious that I see: Les Paul standard, thick ernie balls on the low end, EMG humbuckers, cry baby wah-wah, and a vicious vibrato. Does that sound right?

    Bathory

    Just heard Twilight of the Gods - are the vocals supposed to be that excruciatingly bad? It's basically off-key clean vocals that are reminiscent of running your fingernails down a blackboard. Don't get me wrong - I'm not a clean vocals bigot, but this is pretty bad stuff. Obviously I'm...
