First Headliner Announcement (and roster change)

[See You In Hell]

Never mind that Angelina Jolie wants to sleep with me... did I just hear Roseanne Barr is single again?

Zod

Roseanne is single again?? Get in line, mister.......

 

[steelreign]

That's cool for all the IE fans, but personally I am totally bummed about ASTRAL DOORS. They were one of 2 reasons to make the fest this year (the other obviously being IRON SAVIOR). Rob Rock is a great singer though.

 

[Heavenly Call]

Forget Iced Earth....ROB FUCKING ROCK!!!!!!!! Hell YEAH!!!!!!!!

 

[Yippee38]

Headliner prediction: Blind Guardian returns to PPUSA. Oh yeah, and BTW, the headliner for the showcase will be Demons & Wizards.

 

[TBJ]

Nevermore/Rhapsody, duh


Glenn in ur opinion, is this the headliner that is Power metal straight up or the Power/Prog mix?

I officially dont care who the other headliner is, Matt Barlow is going to own our souls that night.

I couldn't have come up with a better-fitting analogy. Nice.

Hahaha, that'll be a cold day in Flying Pig's hell.

Hey Zod, ask for something else!

The shear number of double entendre possibilities are so overwhelming at this moment, my head might explode.

If the genie is granting two wishes, than second one rhymes with Mevermore.

Zod

 

[The Invisible Guest]

Cool .. I'm happy about ths announcement. I'd been an IE fan for a long time, but I was never able to see Barlow perform live.

I'm upset about the Astral Doors news, but at least they'll be back next year. Rob Rock is a solid addition.

I Still can't not get over this!! Iced Earth is one of my Favorite bands especially with MAtt Barlow singing. THis is a dream come true.

 

[SOULISFOREVERBLACK]

Hey man, check out the Impellitteri releases when he was in the band!! Good Stuff!!

Zod

haha, and why not ask for an orgy(Caligula-style) while you are at it. midgets and all.

I'm ok with Helloween headlining the next night, or is that too much?

 

[DAVETHEMETALGUY]

i finally predicted right...

 

[SOULISFOREVERBLACK]

EXCELLENT CHOICES!!!!!!!!!! METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ascension]

Astral Doors = big loss but knowing they're slated for next year is cool.

Iced Earth = big gain for Barlow fanbois...non entity for others who consider IE fallen from the ranks.

Rob Rock = decent add...great vocalist, alot of history, but latest solo stuff practically non impact.

 

[The Fiddler]

I officially dont care who the other headliner is, Matt Barlow is going to own our souls that night.

But will you recognize him w/o his hair?

 

[MetalAges]

Although the solo stuff kicks ass - just needs to be given a chance by a lot of folks. Hopefully this will be their chance.

 

[Cheiron]

Man... Iced Earth is great. Astral Doors was one of the bands I was most looking forward to. But with a PP X commitment, I'm not too disappointed.

I've never really listened to Rob Rock. Just know a lot of people around here toss his name around.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

So, anyone want to make sell out predictions for this year?

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

MOTHERFUCKING YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Glenn!!!
