    Helloween in Vegas....

    So, a couple of months ago my son asked me if, for his 25th birthday present, I would take him and his older brother to see Helloween in Vegas. Now, these cats could easily have done this on their own, but since I was bank-rolling it and have been to Vegas 30+ plus times, it made sense for me...

    Kamelot please......

    I love Kamelot but please stop: 1. The Forever schtick. Great song. Play it but stop the unnecessary crowd interaction and play another of your great songs instead. 2. March of Mephisto. PLEASE STOP PLAYING IT. It just ain't very good. 3. Rule the World. See #2. 4. You have SO many great...

    Pain of Salvation to play at RoSFest

    I haven't seen mention of this and thought some might be interested. POS plays at RoSFest in Gettysberg, PA on May 4, 2013. Check me if I'm wrong, but it's been quite a while since they have played in the States. http://http://www.rosfest.com/

    Finally, a good Dragonforce concert!

    Yes, they were outstanding the other night in Dallas. 6th time to see them and by far and away the best. Indeed, good venue with a a good sound system - House of Blues - helped, but they were on their game and it was a great time. The crowd was surprisingly small, maybe half a house in a...

    Man, Dragonforce sucked in OKC!

    Let me preface this by saying that I really like Dragonforce. Sure there music is repetitive and it's easy to criticize them, but I like them. On record at least.... On Thursday we made the three hour drive from Dallas to Oklahoma City to see them do a one-off headlining show on an off day...

    Dark Passion Play at #84 on Billboard charts

    I did not see this coming. I think this is almost unprecedented that a band in "our" genre would do this well. Indeed Dream Theater has done well on the charts and didn't SymphonyX's Paradise Lost appear briefly on the Top 200? But I am not familiar with ANY other Euro Metal band - or...

    Enough of Jon Oliva already

    Granted, I don't know much at all about this guy or his music, but come on, enough of him already at ProgPower. What was it a few year ago, special appearance by The Mountain King, then Weapons of Mass Destruction featuring Jon Oliva, and this year and next. What am I missing?

    I still have 3 tickets for sale....

    I hate for them to go to waste and will take anything I can get for them and pay the Fed Ex charges. I'm sure there are some other tickets still out there, but I'd hate for somebody to miss the show because it's sold out and they think wouldn't get in. Email me if you are interested...

    NEARFEST.....

    Seems like this festival that takes place in the summer in Bethleham, PA kind of moves along a parallel line with ProgPower: good bands, bands that rarerly or have ever played in the States before, well organized and run, longevity. I've never been but will make it one of these years when they...

    Looks like Texas gets a Kamelot show!!!

    Update in my email this morning on Houston concerts from Live Nation shows Kamelot at the Meridian in Houston on Sept. 9. Now this is great news. I really wondered if we'd EVER get to see this great band without having to travel, which is usually tough to do. Can't wait to tell my son. That...

    So I wore my Sonata shirt to TSO and...

    Took the entire family - wife and five kids - to TSO the other night in Dallas. Our 6th time I think. It's a family tradition. Anyhow, I had my Sonata Arctica shirt on, one I ordered from the web site, neat graphic with that Nordic mystical guy, wolves and the ship on the front, Finnish 2004...
