Band ideas for PP 4.0

[James]

You may be right, but I figure it can't hurt to ask !

Maybe Glenn can begin working on the "Gothenburg Sound 1.0" festival !!!

 

[Heavenly Call]

Too add to the endless thread......

Freedom Call
Heavenly
Helloween
Jag Panzer
Stratovarius

 

[lizard]

Ayreon/Star One, jes! they are actually undertaking a minitour in Europe....a rarity. given all the personalities Lucassen puts in his music, it must be hard to put together anything lengthy.

another vote for Vanden Plas!

 

[Jax]

Lizard! Are you going to ProgPower???

Aww darn..maybe next year!!

 

[DaysOfPurgutory2]

I'd like to see iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Stratovarius, and Rhapsody headline PP4, i doubt thats possible, but i can dream cant I?

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Hmm, I'll try to split it prog & power, but no guarantees, I'm not much of a prog fan...

PROG:
Queensryche
Vanden Plas
Love History
Evergrey
Rhapsody - ah, they're prog enough

POWER:
Helloween
Sonata Arctica
Elvenking
Freedom Call
Shaman
Running Wild
Ensiferum (gotta have SOME death/Viking stuff, no?)

Now, I chose 12 bands because the show's gonna be smidgen bigger next year, right Glenn? I said, RIGHT Glenn?

 

[DaysOfPurgutory2]

one word.....HAMMERFALL!!

That's like TWO words put together. I know, because Microsoft Word puts the squiggly red line underneath to let me know it's misspelled.

 

[BenMech]

Glenn'll be happy if his festival is not overrun by Power Metal monstrosities.

I'd like to see:

Celtic Frost
Arcturus
Alchemist
Estradasphere
Hollenthon
Root
Tea Party
Æsma Dæva
Maudlin of the Well
and
Loch Vostoch

 

[Saruman]

Elvenking
Bal Sagoth
Rhapsody
Nevermore
Savatage
Elegy
Jag Panzer
Shadow Gallery
Borknagar
Royal Hunt

Maybe swap some for Hammerfall, Ice Age, Dragonforce, Freternia, Fates Warning, Sinergy, or Ayreon.

There are other bands I like more but I'm trying to keep the bands prog/power themed.

If we can substitute Opeth for Royal Hunt, and Freedom Call for Jag Panzer, I'd pay $200 for that ticket!

 

[Antiharpist]

Here are some bands I would like to see:

Children of Bodom
Nevermore
Nightwish
Sonata Arctica
Helloween
Zonata
Majestic
Cairo

Bear

oh yes they did gigs in Japan as the Embrace the mystery line-up. Three would be easier to play!

and talking about Hammerfall, hope the vocalist's injery is not too bad...

 

[Euro Metal Fan]

Now this is a realistic list of ten...and much more appealing one to boot...

Nightwish
Rhapsody
Sonata Arctica
Stratovarius
Wolverine (must be at next year's ProgPower!!!)
Labyrinth
Evergrey
Vanden Plas
Opeth
Blind Guardian (why not?)

 

[lady_space]

OceanMech, love your picture *and* your suggestion of TTP! Though I don't think they'd really fit in that well, I have decided they are the next band I *have* to see no matter what I have to do.
