PP USA VII: You won't see this *ANYWHERE* else ever....

[Harvester]

In order to prevent future leaks and to make sure no one leaves early and realizes their mistake afterwards, I have decided to release news on what I have been working on for a while. I will comment no further on the situation as I do want to maintain an element of surprise. Jorn gets a standing ovation in advance because it is rare that a headliner is this flexible. It really proves how special he wants his set to be in Atlanta. Spread the word!

Nice! An Allstar sing-off!

 

[Dark One]

Wow - very impressive. Nice work.

 

[Rick Pierpont]

Ahhh.. very cool!! Definitely didn't expect that. The element of surprise is still there too!! We can spend the next few months speculating what they will do. Now to see if one of my predictions comes true! I predicted that Jorn would be joined by a guest vocalist, just not any of them! ;-)

Quite appropriate that Circus Maximus is playing right now!

 

[Curufin]

I hope they do Bohemian Rhapsody. That would rule.

 

[DarkOne]

I forsee the best damn medly ever of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"!!

Steve in Philly

 

[Rakosh]

No, no, no people...they'll do a rendition of "Stars"--the Hear'N'Aid benefit classic.

:Smokin:

 

[anvdisp]

Glenn, will you ask Domenic Papaemmanouil (Wastefall) to participate, too?
please!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Evil]

I hope they do Bohemian Rhapsody. That would rule.

a metal Bohemian Rhapsody would be pretty cool ...

 

[nightwish58]

Yngwie who? Yngwie Fuckin Malmsteen, That's Who!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

[Burke]

WHOA MOMMA!!!!!!!!!



Nice one Glenn!!!

 

[TheDarkLawnGnome]

They better not play a crappy rock song, or I'm going to be pissed. Like some gay smoke on the water song or something. I'm getting pissed just thinking about it.

 

[J-Man]

WOOOOHOOOOOOO LANCE KING and JORN together with all the other Awesome stars of PPVII, being brought together by the most rightous and Awesome Glenn Harveston.

 

[mëtålspëd]

They better not play a crappy rock song, or I'm going to be pissed. Like some gay smoke on the water song or something. I'm getting pissed just thinking about it.

Have a tough time seeing the forest, through all of the trees? Jesus, you are given a stellar, all-star lineup, and people are bitching before anything has even come of it!

 

[kittybeast]

freakin Sweeeeeeeet!!! Thanks Glenn!!!

 

[YtseJammer]

Am I the only one who wants to see Jorn sing a Beyond Twilight Medley with Kelly Carpenter?

Perhaps they can both sing the new album

 

[IceQueen_]

Awesome!
That will be a very interesting thing to see.
Good news!!

Glenn, I don't know if you said that already, but... How long will Jorn play for?? 3 hours maybe?? :Spin:

 

[Harvester]

t... How long will Jorn play for?? 3 hours maybe?? :Spin:

I doubt he goes anywhere near that long, but it's up to him.

Glenn H.

 

[7thSaviour]
