Easily, Symphony X can headline in the US to a packed house...SA can headline in the US but the venues would be empty.
It's on!! It's on like Donkey Kong!!! (Wait, how big are you????) If you would like, we can take this fight to the bowling alley..... That's where I do my battling..... All kidding aside, I am not a monstrous Mano-fanboy or anything. Just saying they would be a big draw.
yeah... from a business side of things, that's true... but with how "legendary" SA is, if theyre on the same bill as SX, both of their crowds would obviously draw, so why not have SA headline?
I was thinking of a way to put Paradise Lost on my list, actually... i'd have them replace The Prophecy if I were to do that
In no particular order: InnerWish Rage Sonata Arctica Loudness Mnemic Symphorce Jon Oliva's Pain Stuck Mojo Eldritch Andy
I thought it was a pretty solid lineup, I added Mnemic and Stuck Mojo for a little varience. Could add Annihilator and Edguy instead of those two. Andy
You, me and John Frank all put Atheist up there. I had them behind Amorphis, though. But John hedged his with Cynic is an equal choice, so I don't know if he's as smart as we are. Ken
Friday (From Headliner to opener): Vicious Rumors Evoken Axamenta Anubis Gate Vesperian Sorrow Saturday (From Headliner to opener): Battlelore Vital Remains Quo Vadis Daylight Dies Lydian Sea Tried to make it realistic (hopefully it is), but maybe I got carried away on foreign bands (4 of them are from outside the US). Also tried to keep a good mix - some black, death, doom, power/prog, ect. Also got a Chicago/local opener for Saturday.
