Your Favorite Band Of PPUSA IX Weekend?

And what's there to say about the Mountain King that has not already been said? The man is a master who walks that fine line between insanity and genius. All the detractors can kiss my ass. Jon Oliva is the epitome of a front man, a showman, and a ringmaster all rolled into one.

:worship:

It's tough to pick a favorite, but for me it's between Andromeda and Spheric Universe Experience. Other than that, I loved Pathosray, Riverside, Jon Oliva's Pain, and Saint Daimon.
 
yeah, but 7thSavior isn't happy unless he has no less than 7 simultaneous threads going at once. ;) :p

LOL.

oh, and since I only saw one band's entire set, I'll of course be biased and say Jon Oliva's Pain was the band that blew me away. But I expected no less :Smug: even with the sound issues.

Some folks have mentioned Matt LaPorte channeling Criss Oliva... damn straight he was! And how can you not be an animal without breaking the snare on the first song like Kinder did? :zombie: LOL. And Zahner really surprised me - he's so laid back, quiet, and calm off stage that he really shocked me when he was playing the keyboards, banging his head, and screaming at the crowd for their energy. WoW! Just... WoW! The rhythm section was simply badass as well.
