ProgPower USA 2013: The Final Word

Thanks!! Even though I have not been to PP USA as much as I would have liked I still tell people about the festival. I enjoy checking out the bands. The PP shows that I have been to have been among the most memorable ones.
 
That would be cool, but one of the strengths of this fest is the fact that these bands from overseas get to come over here for maybe the only time in their careers to play for us. The list of debuts this year is pretty amazing.

Yeah but these bands Matt and Justin are talking about, hardly ever even tour the states. As a matter of fact, alot of them tour Europe more than they tour here. I can appreciate the Euro bands coming over here, and all the work it takes to get them here, but bands that are a good draw are just that... a good draw. Wouldn't matter if they're from Europe or here.
 
I wonder if Hellyeah were a bit miffed on the Volbeat tour. They were billed above Iced Earth, but all the notoriety & press went to Iced Earth due to their relationship with Volbeat.
