The Official Sat. Headliner Suggest Thread

[trentdk]

Lets end the festival with some "True Metal"...

MANOWAR for PPVII!

"'True Metal' is music that's true to the style of classic Heavy Metal. It's not diluted. It's not pussied out. It's not wimped out. It's played from the heart, 100 percent."

* "This is what we do. And if you like it, good. If not, go fuck yourself."


* "We play Metal pure, you know. We don't play radio bullshit. We don't suck ass."

* "We just live the part of Metal, you know. We are here to rock, drink and fuck. And that's it. The power is in the music."

* [On how he would like to be remembered] "Somebody who never compromised their music and their integrity. And never screwed their fans. Somebody who always delivered Metal, and melted people's faces at maximum power."

* "I know that a lot of people are against us. But they can get fucked and eat shit and die. Manowar are here to show everybody else that Metal will live on. "

Pain of Salvation! That will put half of you in a coma, but I would love it

 

[AngraRULES]

Manowar should stay away from ProgPower.

That's for the better of them, Glenn and us.

LOL

 

[mëtålspëd]

How about those guys in the van that gave us a mini performance for PP5 outside the venue?

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Gamma Ray, Running Wild, Masterplan, Primal Fear, Dio. I'm sure a few more will come to me.

I know Nearfest is the fest for that, but whats wrong with 1-2 bands that arent straight CHugga Chugga riffs and double bass?

I mean, dont you guys get tired of pounding double bass after a while?

Ted nugent's the man, he'd tear down the house!

Didn't want to come across as if I was attacking you, it's just that Glenn has not only posted about pure prog rock bands in the past, stating that this is a metal fest and prog rock is usually pushed for nearfest or the like. Honestly, while I wouldn't have any big deal with seeing an old prog rock band, I would prefer to see a metal band that's more difficult to get over here. Personally, if it were my festival (which it isn't..whew)...I'd try to get some crazy shit over here like Decapitated or something . Have it a more metal show...regardless of the sub-genre they fall under. Anyway, lots of good metal doesn't have double bass, so...

And Ted Nugent...man...I can't believe people still want to see this guy..I know he was big back in the late 70's...and if he were actually putting out quality music now..maybe...but all this guy puts out is crap from his mouth and deer jerky.

Primal Fear would be great.

I would Love to see Fates Warning, but as Glenn has said in the past he has tried and not gotten any kind of response

Stream of Passion/Ayreon that would be a great headliner.


I for one would like to see someone new for a change of pace.
Enough with the Symphony Xs and Kamelots etc.

Agreed, neighbor.

 

[thesungoesdown]

Running Wild....
Axel Rudi Pell - the guy has like 12 albums out...
Grave Digger??

I like someone's idea of Fates Warning with Arch and Alder singing.

 

[rjrousseau]

My favorites:

Shaaman
Primal Fear
Gamma Ray
Helloween
Freedom Call
Dragonsforce
Manowar

Ted puts on one of the best shows going. He can still run circles around youngsters half his age. Ted rules!

...but is not right for progpower.

 

[AngraRULES]

If Freedom Call gets booked as the headliner, then the world should collapse... LOL

 

[TheWhisper]

That's the gayest picture ever! Fucking priceless.

 

[AngraRULES]

And what's wrong with MANOWAR??!?!! They could totally headline, hehehe.. but please.. don't post those pictures.. the old ones.. because they make me ashamed.. they are a little gay

Let's just say I posted "No Manowar" simply because I've had some quite uncomfortable experiences with them and their management.

That being said, keep the assholes (not all of them are assholes, just a few select individuals in their group) away from the best festival in the world.

 

[AngraRULES]

That's the gayest picture ever! Fucking priceless.

See, at least Nevermore do not have pictures like these!

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Blue Oyster Cult

 

[Yippee38]

OOOOooOoOooh!! I got it!! What about STAR ONE??

Yeah. That would be so damn cool.

I have renewed hope for Within Temptation.

Threshold
Iced Earth
Kamelot
Vanden Plas

How about Jag Panzer?

LOL! Manowar's old pics rule so much. This image is kind of large, so I'll just link it. http://www.gillyon.com/images/man_47_big.jpg

Nevermore isn't metal enough to sign contracts in blood! Glenn, book manowar and get them to do this! :Spin: Manowar for PPVII!!

 

[zinescene]

I'm surprised no one's mentioned these 2 bands as a possibility...

Saxon or Nightwish...both would slay!!!!!!

I know this would be a stretch but Riot would be another great band to see at PP, though I don't think they'd have the following that the other 2 bands would.

 

[Clark Griswold]

Wouldn't mind seeing Primal Fear in that spot.
