Bands who should be at ProgPower 14...

[J. Golden]

They may be. At the same time, if either were to work, I think ProgPower USA would gain quite a few new fans/attendees...

no doubt there.

 

[Jeremy Ray]

Ill be honest ... the QR recommendation made me raise my eyebrows. That would be interesting to me.

 

[Rezz]

My wishlist off the top of my head:

Within Temptation
Treat (if PC69 can play the fest, why not Treat? Coup De Grace kicked major ass)
Unisonic
Vanishing Point
Heavenly
Xandria
Allen/Lande
Masterplan
Royal Hunt
Circus Maximus
Pagan's Mind

 

[Exploding Ned]

Can agree with most of it but seriously Malice / Helstar is there a difference at this point? And as we argued last night I still say TTD would surprise everyone. Still there are so many others like the Fifth Angel reunion? And Hammers of Misfortune would be incredible. But of have given up on the idea that the fest will have much to my personal taste, still Pretty Maids is enough this year for me.

Hammers Of Misfortune would rule. TTD would go over well also.

 

[Exploding Ned]

I'd love to see Fifth Angel. Ted Pilot's voice will be missed, but David Fefolt is an excellent singer that will do the job just fine. Speaking of him, his band FireWölfe would be great, with stuff played also from Hawk and Angels Of Babylon....

David Fefolt is a great vocalist. Ever hear his Valhalla stuff? Sounds like Queensryche's first EP.

 

[J. Golden]

Hammers Of Misfortune would rule. TTD would go over well also.

Yes we know that, sadly the powers that be do not.

 

[Exploding Ned]

I look forward to pissing everyone off as usual for not booking their list.

Used to it. :Spin:

So anyway...
Twisted Tower Dire
Solitude Aeturnus
Rage (again)
Isole
Arkona
Svolk
Serenity
Hammers Of Misfortune
Striker
Dust Bolt
(the new) Queensryche
Ancient Creation
Seventh Calling

 

[Exploding Ned]

I thought about this too. Given the clips I saw of their first show it seems like it would be fun. I know nothing about the business side of tours etc, but it seems like it would be in the bands best interest to play the festival to try to reconnect with a fan base they seem to be courting. Perhaps taking less money(?) for a show to restore/establish some credibility.

If the idea was presented well to their management, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good move for them to do it cheaper than they would normally. You are right, it would bring alotta fans back around to their side, now that Mr Grumpy is gone.

 

[Exploding Ned]

Wow. No power metal at all, eh? No thanks.

Aren't Anubis Gate and Cloudscape power/prog metal?

 

[Exploding Ned]

Yes we know that, sadly the powers that be do not.

Yeah but still I have fun playing the part of Bart Simpson...

[digitalink]

Andromeda
Cynic
Mastodon
Opeth
Porcupine Tree

... all in one night.

That would about sum it up for me.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Aren't Anubis Gate and Cloudscape power/prog metal?

Prog? Yes. But there are no pure power/traditional metal on his list. Also, as VenomGA pointed out...no headliner material bands, either.

 

[Krusty/Antithesis]

Annihilator

RacerX

Saber Tiger (You've never had a Japanese band at the fest)

or Anthem (More Japanese Metal):Spin:


I was gonna end this but thought of a Harem Scarem reunion show as well!!
Just some thoughts bro,
Hope all is well with you,
Krusty

 

[nomisofsiman]

Since I've been late to the party, the only band I truly would LOVE to see is Wolf. I think they'd go over great.

Okay one more: Arch/Matheos

In terms of something special that I know will never happen I'll go with this:
Helloween as the headliner and Unisonic as the support. Yes, I think you people know where I'm headed with this...an encore for Helloween that features the original members, minus drummer of course, of Helloween doing a few songs off the Keeper albums.

 

[nomisofsiman]

Unexpect (they throw everything at you live and it is a true spectacle to see/hear)

Okay, I take that back. This one would be awesome for an oddball. Totally forgot about them.

 

[nomisofsiman]

I like Saxon..
This would be really cool

They were my number one bucket list...until they did that tour last year. Now, I would love to see them, but I do think their price tag would probably be too much; however, if they were to do an exclusive they could be a pretty good draw I think.

 

[DuchessOfDork]

however, if they were to do an exclusive they could be a pretty good draw I think.

Definitely..
