I T-totally agree GraveDigger! I fucking love Running Wild just as much as the legendary Grave Digger!!!! Btw, Grave Digger's last two albums were fuckin' In-credible!!!!

Don't we have this thread like every week?

And doesn't it take about 2.1 posts on average before it becomes a "my favorite bands I've never seen before/could see a million times" list?

I’m thrilled with the line-up…especially for Saturday. However, prior to Friday’s line-up announcement, I *really* thought that “Symphony X” for “ProgPower X” would have had a nice ring to it. A few others that I would love to see…

Lethal
Van Helsing’s Curse
Savatage
Shadow Gallery
Ayreon

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

RUNNING WILD!!!

 

[Metaldrumz]

Nocturnal Rites
Mystic Prophecy
Marcello-Vestry
Civilization One
Jaded Heart
Tribuzy
Orden Ogan
Headstone Epitaph (Back Together yeaaaa!!!)
Dominici
Cloudscape
Dream Evil
Lizzy Borden

Of course its also a matter of band availability too.

 

[mandaX]

FireWitch
A.R.T.

 

[KristoferX]

FireWitch
A.R.T.

hmmmm. Are you sure?

 

[Wandrail]

Two off the top of my head would be Jorn and Slough Feg...there's still time for Jorn! Lofstad will already be there!

 

[rushzil2112]

I forgot about some Nocturnal Rites, I'd love to see them play a long set, cause they have tons and tons of great songs. How about a Swano moontower performance, with clones of Swano playing every instrument.

 

[MinervaPhoto]

Ohhh god... I don't care as long as it includes Blind Guardian, Freedom Call, and Heavenly

 

[Primal]

U.D.O.
Falconer
Nocturnal Rites

 

[The Fiddler]

With Glenn booking Fates for X, I've seen all the bands I've ever wanted to see at ProgPower. Iced Earth was the other white whale for me that he harpooned this year. How he got Conception together for that reunion show is still beyond me - that was my all-time favorite ProgPower set.

There are a couple of real oddballs that I'd like to see, but realistically, they just don't fit the profile for a PP band, even with that profile seemingly getting stretched more every year. They are Lana Lane and Veni Domine.

 

[Ruthven]

Van Helsing’s Curse

I'd love to talk to Dee Snider again. He's one entertaining dude.
