    Khan officially quits Kamelot

    Yes, I was referring to the upcoming NA tour. I 100% concede the point on the previous NA tour. Khan did not handle that situation well at all. I am just sad about the whole situation. It truly does suck when my favorite singer of all time died in the past year and now one of my favorite...

    Khan officially quits Kamelot

    One more thing. I will see Kamelot when they come to Orlando. I am going to support the band and would like to see what direction they go in. What a horrible fan I am!

    Khan officially quits Kamelot

    Glenn-I was just responding to people saying that Khan had a small impact on the product and that he would be so easy to replace. I was not talking about the tour supporting the latest album. I was all for the band going out with a different singer trying to make a living. No problems at all...

    Khan officially quits Kamelot

    Great post. This whole thread is ticking me off a bit. Khan was what made Kamelot. They weren't going anywhere with the other guy. I am sorry, but they weren't. What is with people not giving Khan credit for writing the damn songs? Thomas helped him in this area, but I believe the songs...

    Nevermore drops off the Symphony X tour

    Just noticed that today. I probably will end up going. I just plan on going late because I have no desire to see the other bands.

    Nevermore drops off the Symphony X tour

    Very true. I may debate a while whether I will go to this show. Probably all depends on the work schedule and whether I really want to drive that distance. I wonder if that club starts shows earlier on weekdays.

    Kamelot US Tour with Fabio Lione on vocals Aug/Sep 2011

    I would agree with you as well. Losing Khan would be a huge blow to Kamelot. He truly did elevate their status tremendously. I don't think you can just plug in any singer and there wouldn't be a big drop off. I guess we will see what transpires at the end of this year. Something needs to be...

    Nevermore drops off the Symphony X tour

    Agreed. Especially the last 4 words of your post. I saw them once and that is all I need to know that I truly hated them. I think they are playing with Kamelot as well later on this year. Enough with them.

    Sabaton & Accept 4/22 in Chicago

    I was at the Orlando show. Sabaton was awesome. They were so energetic. The lead singer had the crowd in the palm of his hands. I would definitely see Sabaton again. I haven't gotten all their albums, but I think "Art of War" is a fantastic album. I think it does help if you are a history...

    Any Kamelot new CD reviews?

    I finally got the new album. It is light years ahead of Ghost Opera. Ghost Opera was just flat for me. This one had more energy and more life to it. Khan's voice is still strong. Nice guitar work throughout. Good hearing Simone in a couple of songs. Once again they blend the classical...

    Iron Maiden 2011 Tour

    I think the Florida date last year was kind of a fluke. It was a bit of an add on so to speak. I just hope this Florida trend continues in the coming years.

    Iron Maiden 2011 Tour

    I just saw this today. Maiden is making 2 stops in Florida in April. April 16th in Sunrise and April 17th in Tampa. I know there are some FL fans on here. I remember complaining a few months ago that they bypassed the whole Southeast in their completed tour. Well this shut me up. I...

    Kamelot WILL perform at PPUSA XI as scheduled

    I think Michael will do a fine job. I am debating whether to go to a music clinic that some of the Kamelot members (Casey, Oliver, Sean) are doing at USF. I have no clue what happens at music clinics. I gather that they will play some bits, but I could be wrong. Could be them talking about...

    Kamelot WILL perform at PPUSA XI as scheduled

    Well this is disappointing. I planned on seeing them in Orlando. I guess not. I've seen Kamelot 3 times and it would have interesting hearing Michael do his take on the songs. Khan is one of my favorite singers. He is irreplaceable on Kamelot. Kamelot should disband if Khan can't make it...

    CONFIRMED: Dio has left us :(

    Very sad day. Glad I saw him in concert several times. RIP Ronnie.
