Fates Warning in 2009

[Rick Pierpont]

I, for one, am very excited about FW!! They were my favorite for many years until DT took over that spot back in '92 (I heard them before I&W but couldn't get into them at the time). They are the definition of headliner for PP as they have been very influential to the development of prog metal!

I sincerely hope that Ray brings his A game of days past for this show!

I love both Arch and Alder. My favorite Arch disk is Awaken the Guardian. Metal fans will appreciate that more, but Perfect Symmetry is one of my all time favorites and is my favorite Alder era disk! No Exit and Parallels are also awesome to start with.

I actually remember a guy saying "Who the fuck are Andre Matos and Fates Warning?".

Unfuckingbelievable.

Are you sure he wasn't just kidding around?

Are you sure he wasn't just kidding around?

Positive.

Are you sure he wasn't just kidding around?

I do recall a few years back, at one of the preparty, the band was playing a Rush cover and someone next to me asked the same kind of question.

" what band is this they are covering? "

 

[Soundscape]

the mystery to me is whose going to be playing drums?..NDV?..or might Mr.Zonder be able to do this 1, special 1-off show?

*feels very fortunate to have seen the band with Zonder live once*

Getting to see Hell finally freeze over after they finish the set will be a very special treat from them indeed!

+1...no band could top Queensryche & FW for me...until l heard "Pull Me Under". l knew who my favorite band was from that point & it remains today. QR & FW together basically generated the prog metal genre...of course l have to give Rush some credit too. DT took it, polished it off,and made it bright, shiny, & accessible for everybody. The DT progressive metal cloning [i.e. your favorite prog metal band here unless it's QR, FW, or DT] began after that & is still going on today.

I sincerely hope that Ray brings his A game of days past for this show!

l have faith he will.

Not a fan of Arch at all. Parallels & Perfect Symmetry for me too...prog metal classics. If you're a prog metal fan & don't have these...you have missed the boat somehow.
