OK I know that their is nothing Prog or Power about this band. But I would love to see them and progpower is about the only concert i go to a year now. but i would love to see....

LORDI.


I am a huge of their music, (I am also a huge horror genre fanboy), and even if the music does not fit, it would be fun to see.

 

[AngraRULES]

Never.

 

[GoRillaBoy76]

Never.

I knew that but I thought I mights as well swing for the fences.

"And there's a long drive! Trouble if it's fair..............but it's just wide of the foul-pole."

Heck, Glenn could get GWAR for cheaper. But the venue might not want red goo everywhere.

I've been screaming Annihilator for years... I'm beginning to think that I will never see them live now...

I have about as much interest seeing LORDI at ProgPower, as I would have Helen Keller preparing my taxes.

for the odd band i would like to see some melodic rock something lighter like Danger Danger, or Magnum i love heavy metal as much as the next guy but im also a huge fan of hard rock/AOR just as much.

I meant I'd never wanna see them at ProgPower. Hell, Gwar is the real one and better, and yet I don't wanna see them at ProgPower.

Then again, it'd be fun to get fake blood and guts splattered all over the crowd. Hahahaha

 

[DEATHZILLA]

ANNIHILATOR ! COULD NOT AGREE MORE!!! THAT WOULD BE INCREDIBLE!!

 

[hoodaman]

was this post even remotely inspired by Sabaton?

Me too, but I think Glenn hates this type of music for the most part. (shrugs)

I don't think most people understand what is meant by "oddball", as it relates to ProgPower...

Oddball:
adjective
Pronunciation: \ˈäd-ˌbȯl\
: a method for disguising a band that utilizes a harsh vocal as somehow being progressive, without pissing off Prog Metal purist.
Example: This year's oddball band will be Mercenary (Into Eternity, Raintime, etc.).

Well sorry say guys but I have to agree with gorillaboy. They are awesome in my book. Have seen them live and they put on a great show. I would see them any day over the tired ass bands that play the progpower this year. Yes this means I am skipping this year. And no not because the the recession like a lot of the people here. I simply hate the bands. So cast your stones on me now. But LORDI RULES!!!!

+1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and.........

Lordi NOW tours the US regularly. They're not oddball anymore.
Heck, their first big gig was the Bamboozle festival in Giant's Stadium @ East Rutherford a few years back!!!
AND!!!!! They've performed on Late Night With Conan O'Brian.

I second the call for Van Canto, but extend the invite to any RIVAL a capella groups doing what VC do. Maybe a Black Metal Rockapella group?

edit: Ulver now performs live gigs. Check teh youtubes. Perfect answer.
