Create your own pure fantasy, over blown, unlimited budget metal festival...

amazing lineups for each day. I would not change a damn thing. would just add Dream theater, Candlemass, Gotthard, and Symphony X somewhere.

 

[wayland smithers]

the lineups for each day are just untouchable. and Chris Degarmo has to be back in Queensryche. Things have never been the same or as good since he left.

Great point, forgot to mention him.

 

[wayland smithers]

bring on that Damn Yankees and Savatage reunion.

 

[TheGraveDigger]

Damn Yankees must play "Rock City" and "Tell Me How You Want It" off the first album, I would just lose it.

 

[dcowboys311]

Day 1:
5 sets of Slayer

Day 2:
5 sets of Slayer

Day 3:
5 sets of Slayer

 

[Pellaz]

You need to add Rush to "Day 5, "Time Stands Still".


Just sayin'........

 

[nomisofsiman]

Outside of day 3, there really would be no reason to keep living. Truly badass. No offense to the day 3, but outside of Kiss I truly dread the rest of those bands. I commend you on the requirement for Kiss is to play Creatures of the Night and Revenge, probably my two favorite of theirs and it's quite unfortunate they NEVER play anything off either one of those albums.

 

[Gunstar9]

you need to add Demons & Wizards to day 2 considering...

 

[Metal_Camden]

Day 1:
5 sets of Slayer

Day 2:
5 sets of Slayer

Day 3:
5 sets of Slayer

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Metal_Camden]

[edgeofthorns]

Hey Grave Digger, I see one flaw from the Time Stands Still section. Gus G. would have to step down to allow a Jake E Lee reunion with ol' Oz. Now that would be killer to see!

[Diamond45]

You need to add Rush to "Day 5, "Time Stands Still".


Just sayin'........

I was thinking the same thing... now I'll be playing that song in my head all damn day!

 

[SkiBumMSP]

We gotta add a Day 6:

Prog for the Pretentious:
Dream Theater
Fates Warning
Threshold
Vanden Plas
Redemption
Andromeda
Shadow Gallery
Riverside
Royal Hunt
Thought Chamber
Mindwarp Chamber

And while we are at it, if money is truly no object - we need a totally kicking ass light and pyro show like TSO has for this thing as well!

 

[spag]

I would add in there somewhere....

Ayreon - Human Equation live, with original vocalists

Therion - Gothic Kabbalah in it's entirety, and some added classics

Haggard - Full band, doing a full set

 

[Pellaz]

We'd have to have Aimee Mann herself do her guest vocals for that song. 'Course, with a big enough budget.....

Totally, except that I'd probably reserve a night for Ayreon and Therion alone...with Ayreon also performing Into the Electric Castle.
