I got that press release from the Rooby Doo PR firm as well.

cool they told me a copy was sent to you earlier for your approval

 

[powermetal2000]

Yes!!!! Another band I've been wanting to see for years. By weird coincidence I just listened to Invictus & both House of Atreus albums yesterday.

Hell, I got the name of my radio station from the song "A Symphony Of Steel"

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Fuckinay! Hell yeah, VIRGIN STEELE!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a big big cheesy smile on my face right now.

 

[4acidbath4]

Great news!!!! It would be great to have them atleast a spot higher, but should be great......not a big REDEMPTION fan, but like i said.....ill take it Now if we can get GREEN CARNATION a 1 or 2 spot for sat. that would blow my mind.......

 

[woosta]

Virgin Steele puts on a killer show! I can't wait to see them again!

Good choice!

 

[Dark One]

Absolutely STOKED!! Excellent news. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Part 1 is climbing it's way steadily up the ranks of my favorite albums.

 

[Wyvern]

I find that pretty surprising. Knowing a little of your tastes, I'd think you'd find them right up your alley.

Check out a few of the songs I suggested in this (and the other Virgin Steele thread), like Burning of Rome. You can probably still get them on cassette

Steve in Philly

I can't stand much of DeFeis vocals, so musically they may match but the vocals tone me down.

In anycase hope to see you again next year

 

[Formerly known as Chris F5]

This was mentioned in an email already.

Thank you(The Burning of Rome),they havn't done that song(to these eyes) since like 1989-1990
a 2 slot is perfect for them

 

[Warthog]

LET THEM BURN THE SWORD!!!!

Get whatever license you need from the local fire marshal, but let them burn the sword!!!

 

[Imagikafan]

I personally don't care much for VS, but clearly it's made a lot of people happy and that's cool.

I feel the same way.

 

[nailz]

This is truely shaping up to be an absolutely fantastic year. Again.

 

[Metaldrumz]

I feel the same way.

Ditto

 

[Megametal]

YYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FatesFan]

Okay Glen, I know I have been a thorn in your side for a few years now what with all my belly acking and what not......however.........you are off to a good start this year my man. Keep up the good work! 2007 looks like it will be my First PP ever. I have always wanted to go but could never financialy do it. 2007 looks to be a 180 for me financialy and I am going to do PP right!

Anyone wanna help me ring in my first PP! ( that's not a Euphemism )

 

[BenMech]

BenMech approves

 

[dcowboys311]

Well, I said earlier in the topic that I hadn't really listened to VS too much. As a result of this announcement, I decided to check out one of their albums. I listened to about half of The House of Atreus: Act I, and needless to say, I am stoked. Bring on the metal!

You left out the part of the article where it says that they have also added "of fire" to the end of their name for copyright reasons. The band playing the festival will be known as "Rirgin Steele OF FIRE!!! "
