    Update: Ray Alder confirmed to perform

    Mythiasin brings *DOWN* the album quality? You can't be serious. Mythiasin is one of the best vocalists in metal, and is certainly better than Ray Alder.

    What does 'prog' mean to you?

    Prog used to have the definition of "progress". This progress was defined as the complex aspects of the music now known as "prog metal". Unfortunately, when bands have been playing this "prog metal" for the past 15 years, it's no longer progressive. Progressive has come to be understood as a...

    Gamma Ray Tshirts

    I agree, metalkeir. I often have to buy large shirts which look ridiculous. I need medium shirts.

    Zero Hour

    "Actually, both bands seemed exactly the same to me. The vocals were different, but it was like the same cd with different singers or something. And they WERE better than Spiral Architect last year, but considering that Spiral Architect was the single worst performance of ever had the...

    Best Band at the Show

    "First off, Edguy is not PROGRESSive, so what's your point? They are a power metal band, and a damn great one at that. " I was under the impression that bands at progpower were supposed to be progressive. And believe me, there are those who think Edguy is prog/power metal. Last year, every...

    Best Band at the Show

    Reading Zero really was pretty good. I least liked Silent Force. DC Cooper is great, but their music is very generic power metal. Edguy isn't much better. I would say the same for Gamma Ray, but they redeemed themselves with the Helloween at the end. The thing about progressive music is that...

    To all the fans who just sat there....

    The first post came across as being very presumptuous. I am most certainly a REAL FAN, but I chose to sit most of the time. I attempted to stand up close during Blind Guardian's set, but after being jostled by some rude fan who pushed his way up to the front, I had approximately one third a...

    Bags and such.. ?

    I know this has probably been covered before, but anyway. What's the policy on bags? Can we bring backpacks? I had one last year and didn't have any problem, but then again, you say we weren't supposed to have food last year, and I had that and had no problem either, so I don't know if my not...
