Wow, Last minute opportunity. I have 2 gold badges and 2 Showcase tix for sale. Face value. If you are interested please e-mail me ASAP at troywoodruff@insightbb.com. Friends had last minute problems and can not go.

I'm really hoping for Nocturnal Rites. They have atleast 7 studio release, so they not only have the fan base but the catalog too. One other band to Headline that have a huge fan base that no one seems to be talking about is HAMMERFALL. Did I miss a post that has ruled them out of the question...

I really don't understand all this whining. All I have to say is that last years PPVII line up was less than appealing to me. Honestly, I was not really looking forward to progpower as much as I had been in the past. However, on the 7 hour car trip home, my fellow progpower travelers and I all...

One HUGE name missing, not to mention THE BEST guitarist I have EVER seen or heard is DAVE MENIKETTI. some of you may know Y&T. Those who don't, you have been left out. Simply put, blues influenced heavy metal guitar sound. His solo albums are simply masterfull!!! With that said there are...

My favorite releases for this year. 1. EDGUY "Rocket Ride" 2. Bruce Dickenson "Tyranny of Souls" 3. Evergrey "Monday Morning Apocalypse" 4. Angra "Aurora Consurgens" 5. Circle II Circle "Burden of Truth" 6. Rage "Speak of the Dead" 7. Falconer "Northwind" 8. Firewind...

Nocturnal Rites friday and Rhapsody saturday. It wouldn't get any better than that for me. Kamelot, Hammerfall, EDGUY, Symphony X would also make great headliners. I would love to see Mob Rules at Progpower no matter what slot!!!!These guys keep putting out quality music again and again. Troy

I must agree that the ticket price is more than reasonable for 10 bands. I would still attend if the price doubled. (Not that I want that to happen.)This will be my 4th trip to progpower and I would never willingly miss it. Its the downtown hotel pricing that is getting out of control. They are...

I don't see why people are getting upset with other peoples posts. If everyone liked the same thing, life would be VERY boring. This is about what people think of the band. I would really like these guys without the "death" style vocals. Its like finger nails on a chalkboard to me. The "death"...

WOW, only to pick 1 favorite. The my favorite was VISION DIVINE followed closely by Freak Kitchen, Zero Hour, and Thunderstone. I actually thoroughly enjored everyone, every band gave a great effortand great performance. My only complaint, death metal part of Epica, and all the sound issues...

Personally, I was thrilled with Jorn replacing Nevermore. Now Zero Hour too!!! I would much rather see Zero Hour than Wastefall. No Offense to Wastefall(or Nevermore) fans intended. This just makes the show that much more exciting for me. Hopefully, this will be the final line up though. Way to...

I voted Brainstorm, Vanden Plas, and Silent Force. BrainStorm simply put on one of the best crowd pleasing performances I have witnessed in the 4 progpowers I have been to. VandenPlas with the OUTSTANDING new cd, and Silent Force because I missed them. I think limiting repeat performers is fine...
