It's been a year since Jon's heart attack. Is there any information on his current health? Still praying for him.

Just heard this news. Paul passed away last night from "a chronic illness". He was 61. My heart is breaking, as he was one of the kindest souls I ever met. He gave away thousands of dollars, which I witnessed many times. Here’s a cute story: He called it “whacking”. It began near his...

Finally got to see them Monday night in Houston. Wow - what a refreshing show!! Never knew you could shred a cello like that!! And a cello on a wah petal - waaaaay cool!!!! These guys are really good. It was kinda like ELO on crack!!!! Glenn - Any chance of getting them to PP?

Sorry if this is an old thread. I haven't been on here in a long time. I am on my second listen and I am......astonished!! It's a slightly different sound and I really like it. It's refreshing to me!! I would like others' thoughts. Thanks, Chris

Damn - The more I listen to this record, the more amazed I am by it. I lean waaaay more toward power than prog, but this is one of my top 5 fav records!!! OK, Glenn - This is where you come in. A reunion of Eternity X and play THE EDGE all the way through!!!!! You've done harder $hit than...

I saw a markedly different level of professionalism from these two front men in back-to-back sets. I'm not talking about the bands' music or the frontmen's stage presence; I'm talking about being a pro. Daniel -When you can't hear something in your monitor, you point to it and put your...

Just thinking about Edguy and I wondered if you have artists that put out 3 or more consecutive CDs that you consider masterpieces. Not just good, but CDs you can listen to over and over. These are mine off the top of my head: 1. Edguy - Vain Glory Opera, Theater of Salvation, Mandrake 2...

I just love this genre. I was wanting some bands I am not familiar with that combine heavy metal with classical. "Big" music with many layers, orchestra sounds as well as heavy guitars. Examples are SoulSpell, Avantasia and Rhapsody. I even like this mixed with speed metal and the occasional...

I just got through listening to this CD again and I believe it is by far, Priest's opus. I have loved Priest from the start, but this CD is just amazing. The story is great. The production is amazing. Halford's voice is as good as ever. I especially like the soulful power ballads where he...

Just thinking about how much fun I have had at PP - I have gone to all of them since PP V. I have also had life-changing experiences here. Here is my list (I also include the Wednesday-Thursday shows): 10. Catching (barely) Lars from Manticora when he suddenly stage dove. BTW, he is a big...

The teaser says the "entire" STREETS CD. Will it be the released CD or the entire CD (2 discs) that was never officially released. I have heard the latter and it is spectacular!!! Chris :rock:

Saw Mind Crime in San Antonio last Saturday night. They played Rage and Mind Crime back-to-back (with a 15 minute break in between). I was wondering if Chris' voice would hold up, and it did!! They even played 3 more songs after Mind Crime. If you don't have a ticket to this show, GET...

Here are mine, in order: 1. BELIEVE 2. When the Crowds Are Gone 3. Chance 4. Gutter Ballet 5. HOMK 6. Summer Rain 7. Tonight He Grins Again 8. The Dungeons Are Calling 9. Alone You Breathe (RIP Criss) 10. Blackjack Guillotine Chris :rock:

Just saw Symph X for the third time in Houston last weekend and what an amazing show!! This time, there were two main differences from the other 2 times I saw them: 1. I was sober. 2. I was 3 feet from Michael. I have listened to their recordings repeatedly, but was amazed at his speed...

1. You're going out and you have to decide which of your 50 black T-shirts you're going to wear. 2. You have ever had an argument with your wife about wearing a heavy metal T-shirt to a family function. 3. You don't know the words to the national anthem but you know all the words...

He played the State Theater - I saw Savatage on the WOM tour there. I'm guessing 400-500 people were there. He played several off "Festival" (the other ones I can remeber were "Lies", "Festival, "Now"). "Ride the Black Horse" was about as dark and heavy a song as I EVER heard something played...

Can I do this without creating a new account?? All I want to change is my screen name!! Thanx in advance!! Chris :rock:

For you folks on the fence about attending the Thursday night Showcase, or pre-festival, or whatever it's called now, please consider going and being there early!!! I have had the pleasure of following Six Minute Century (SMC) since their inception (can't even remember the year!!). They are an...

Was thinking about this Friday night when I saw DT and Maiden - that, IMO, these are the two best bass players in all of rock. I know their styles are radically different, but wanted to know everyone's opinion. I think Steve Harris has got John Myung with the right hand, but Myung's left hand...

In the box set, "Still the Orchestra Plays", there are two audio CDs and a DVD of Live - In Japan. I have bought two of these from Amamzon and had to return both of them because the DVD dd not work. I have two players and neither on would read the DVD. The audio CDs are fine. Anyone else...
