I have for sale a single Gold Badge to this year's festival. It is good for Friday and Saturday's shows, early admission, and the other Gold Badge perks. I hate I can't make it this year, but these things happen. I paid $190 for the ticket, which is all I'm asking. Please email me at...

Dude, I literally just thought that as I came back to this thread. They gave a great performance but there was, what, like 100 people left in the room? Argh! Earlier this year (maybe last?) Symphony X opened for Iced Earth in Charlotte. I like both bands and was surrounded by people...

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my late response! Usually I get emailed that someone responded to a post...must have missed it. Yes, the CD does say Scratch on it, but also that it is licensed from Disaster. I got really curious because I've seen some of the "Scratch" versions selling as...

Need a hand from some of you experts and dealers. I've owned a copy of Angel Dust's "Into the Dark Past" for a couple years, but discovered only last night that the original release of this CD is actually a rarity that fetches a pretty penny. I understand that the "official" release of...

Heck, if I remember correctly, Eva was the first Nightwish single released for their first album with Anette as lead vocalist. What, did everyone expect an album full of ballad types? :) I've enjoyed Helloween through the years and look forward to new material. PPXIII? Fire Breath...

If I remember correctly (and will be totally embarrased if incorrect) it was my ProgPower shirt worn to a Charlotte, NC concert that got us talking a couple years ago. Blind Guardian or Symphony X? Cards are a great idea. We only get, what, maybe one decent concert a year in...

Sadly I have to enter this thread... I'm definately still there, but my friend had to cancel due to work. I've got a regular Friday/Saturday ticket for sale...plus split hotel room cost if interested at the Marriott Courtyard on Techwood Ave...walkable to venue. (Prefer to sell the tickets...

Sweet. Ya, I could always see the fires burning in Port Talbot from across the bay. :) Anyway, just read about all the lineup changes. Wow. This new album is certainly going to be different, but different can sometimes be awesome. Looking forward to it. Oh, and whoever did that...

Hell yes! Life happens, we deal. Those blabbermouth and twitter peeps can just lose the hate and be thankful the entire tour wasn't cancelled. Of course, I bet if they cancelled the same people would be complaining about that too. There's just no pleasing some folks.

Ack! Certainly disappointing to not see the full band...especially since it probably means none of the new album's songs...but health and family always come first. Kudos to the band for keeping the tour going and to Michael as a replacement who is one of the few I think could pull it off...

Haha! No problem. I'm not so much a "man of mystery" as my 7 years worth of board membership and measly 48 posts would indicate. :) You coming down this year? Would love to chat again. I'm running solo this year (and have an extra ticket) since my friend had to bail.

Small world! Yes, I spent most of 1998 living in Swansea and going to what was at the time the University of Wales, Swansea. I think now it's just Swansea University. I had a great time. There was this club called "The Zone" that once a week hosted a metal/industrial/goth night. Little hole...

Thanks! Totally bummed when they had to cancel their ProgPower appearance. I like these guys. And, hey, I went to school in Swansea, so I love the Welsh connection. :)

Oh ya, definately original. Like I said at the bottom of the post, the headline got me at first. I think "Last Choir Standing" sort of made me slap my head and remember what day it was now. Actually, I still have to remember to convert dates to "American". I first looked at the post and...
