Ok. My jimmies are starting to get rustled. Some of these rosters would require me hitting the lottery.

I love to read them though.

Haha! I know Emperor would probably require a lottery win, but a boy can wish no??

 

[AngraRULES]

Evergrey above Opeth?

Srsly?

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Wish list for Thursday.

EVERGREY (Performing Recreation Day in it's entirety.)
BRAINSTORM (Performing Soul Temptation in it's entirety.)
HALCYON WAY

 

[Diabolik]

Evergrey above Opeth?

Srsly?

I was going to post the same thing.

Also Emperor is super high in price...no way that is going to happen. I could see at best MDF getting that.

Also I doubt In Flames for a pre-show...would anyone really want to see them?

Okay, so here are my guesses. I was gonna have Sabaton down for Thursday night, but unfortunately they probably played too recently. Two Urban breed-fronted bands is probably too much, but I figured I could throw it out there anyway. I'm not very good with judging the relative merits vis-a-vis slots, either, but here ya are anyway.

Thursday
In Flames
Katatonia
Trail of Murder

Friday
Therion
Hammerfall
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Eclipse
Serious Black
St. Deamon

Saturday
Evergrey
Opeth
Arch Enemy
Scar Symmetry
Dynazty
Morgana LeFay

best posted line up so far!

And Jen becomes an extreme couponer and Haley goes to community college in order to pull it off.

I think convincing them to do something special would be a bit more difficult than the bands who have done that kind of set. I don't want to discount Glenn here - 1) he always manages to produce magic and 2) ProgPower served as the cornerstone of their first US tour, so he's not just some random promoter asking for something special. However, they don't have quite the same level of history as the other bands who have done full albums or special song choices. I would obviously be ecstatic if he pulled it off, but if BG does headline (which I think there's a good chance of), I'd be expecting something more along the lines of a standard set.

Obviously, I'd LOVE to eat my words on this, I just think it's worth keeping expectations reasonable. European open air fests have probably been willing to throw bags of money at BG to get NiME in its entirety, but it has never happened.

I hadn't thought of that. Circle II Circle, Pagan's Mind, Evergrey and JOP have a history with ProgPower and that probably generates more goodwill for special sets. Still, I feel like, with demand for tickets clearly outpacing the last few years, it's hard to escape the conclusion that whatever he paid for this year's roster, it was worth it, and the temptation to try again has got to be there. That set alone would be enough draw to sell out the fest again.

Ding! Ding! Plus, this was supposed to be the end as well so that was a factor.

I'd kill to see them but unfortunately, Sybreed is no more

Drop, Ales, and Kevin are forming another band without Ben. Don't know who if anyone will be the singer though.

did not know this

ANYBODY listed over Opeth???

Dunno of Anders voice can handle the older style growls anymore as he sounds totally shot,but maybe Whoracle or Colony in its entirety would make people interested

In light of the Wacken news, Savatage to headline is my number one prediction...

Ahem... you guys didn't notice a... theme to my rosters? Indicating that maybe I was not 100% serious about all the bands...? (never mind the disclaimer that I'm not exactly awesome at figuring out who should go in which slot.)

Besides, on a completely serious note... if Evergrey played before Opeth, not only would a lot of people leave before Opeth, but most of the remainder would fall asleep. But Opeth and Evergrey the same night ain't gonna happen regardless.

As for In Flames, well, Sabaton played last year and I was running out of bands that fit my criterion.
