Opeth NOT appearing at PP3.0

[Jim LotFP]

"After several weeks of negotiations with Opeth's management/booking agency, I was unable to come to an acceptable agreement. I wish the band nothing but success and hope to work with them one day in the future.

Thanks,

Glenn H."

Damn that sucks.

Now I've gotta decide if the trip to Atlanta is worth it to see Blind Guardian...

 

[MetalManCPA]

Had a feeling it would come to this

 

[Opet]

::inserts money back into wallet::

 

[Sadistik]

SOmeone's not flying to Atl.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

So... who is still going?

 

[S4R]

This really puts a damper on my wanting to attend, but it would still be great to meet some of you people, that's assuming most of you will still be going now that Opeth isn't.

 

[Lina]

Yeah, I agree with S4R. I'd still go to hang out with some of y'all. I love weekend trips, airplanes, and staying in hotels (I'm being serious!), so I'll probably still go.

 

[Sadistik]

Well, how much would it cost (approx, for ticket and hotel? I won't count air fare yet, as I might be able tog et free tickets...)

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Including food, maybe like... $250 or so

 

[ricochet]

Yeah, I had a feeling this would happen so I didn't get my hopes up too much. I am still disappointed as well all are, but I will still be attending since I live so close to ATL. ProgPower2.0 was a great experience so I'll definitely be going to 3.0. It'd still be cool if any of you guys(and girls) could still make it.

Oyo, will you teach me your totally sweet ninja skills?

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I cannot perform them at Progpower, ninjas are required to forfeit their powers in memory of Bruce Lee for one week, Progpower III falls on that week, unfortunately, sorry to disappoint.

 

[Demonspell]

I would still do anything to attend, Blind Guardian and Pain Of Salvation are two of my favorite bands and both have released incredible albums this year. Threshold and Reading Zero also kick righteous amounts of ass.

 

[ricochet]

I still need to check out Threshold and Reading Zero...and Pain of Salvation. Any suggestions? Thanks...and yes, I know I should have checked them out already...

 

[General Zod]

Speaking as someone who attended PP 2.0... you should attend PP 3.0. The whole week is an absolute blast. First off, the hotels and streets surrounding the venue are overrun by people, that you can instantly tell, are going to the show. Opeth, Nevermore, and Iced Earth t-shirts as far as the eye can see. Everyone you meet is cool. Whether it be the people in the room hotel next to you, the people in line with you to get a beer, or the musicians playing the festival. Last year, we met everyone in every band. Plus, we partied with different folks every night, for fours days straight. The venue is first rate, and Glenn does a kick ass job with the show. All in all, it's a total blast. I can't wait until November!

[Legion Fan]

Hey, did somebody mention Bruce Lee?

 

[blakmetalemp]

I still want to go. Blind Guardian alone is worth the trip, though it would cool as hell to see Opeth.
