    My review of MANOWAR in MN, 2/9/2014

    Flew to Houston to catch Manowar and escape the cold ass weather in Indianapolis. Despite knowing what to expect, they blew me away but maybe that was partly me just being happy to see them live again for the 4th time. This time they did play all of Kings Of Metal minus Pleasure Slave plus...

    My review of MANOWAR in MN, 2/9/2014

    I wonder if the venue bashing stems from touring the New York clubs in the early days. In the upcoming Twisted Sister documentary, they talk about how they would bash venues so bad that owners wanted to kill them after the shows but they felt the fans like it. Perhaps Joey is trying to be...

    Nightwish: One and only complaint.

    Saw this clip of last night's Nightwish show in Denver posted on the Amaranthe Facebook page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=djVXwl7PI_I Then saw this message from Nightwish on their facebook page: We were in hell today. Vocalist in a hospital. Show about to be...

    Band Set lists?

    Didn't see a thread yet of the set lists of each band. So thought I'd start one. I'm especially interested in the Pretty Maids set list because they blew me away despite not knowing many of their songs.

    Midweek Mayhem - Your input requested

    I love what you've done so far. I flew in to Minnesota for Gamma Ray the first time they were there. I drove with a friend through a blizzard in Missouri to see what I think was the first Twisted Sister Christmas show you had in Minnesota. I would probably be at more shows if I was closer and...

    Any thoughts on this year's ProgPower USA CD sampler so far?

    I love Track 9 on CD 1. Halycon Way - The Age of Betrayal. At least I think that's the name of the track. The print for the track listing is a bit small making it difficult to read with my old fart glasses on.

    The Official First Impressions/Updates/Reviews of this year's ProgPower

    Even if you're just an idle Accept fan and you missed their show at ProgPower, do yourself a favor and find a way to one of their other shows. You WILL NOT be disappointed. Do it because a good time like this doesn't come around very often and I think there are a lot of people who could use a...

    The Official First Impressions/Updates/Reviews of this year's ProgPower

    I expected more from Six Minute Century from what I heard of their music. Many times the guitars seemed to overpower the vocals. Fairly good energy level though and overall a good start to the night. I was really looking forward to Borealis and they delivered. Again high energy set...

    The Official First Impressions/Updates/Reviews of this year's ProgPower

    The Loft is your basic standing room only (for the most part) type of club with a small stage but I would say a slightly bigger stage than what was previously used in the Vinyl for the early festivities. It was my second time to the Loft. Last time I saw Midnite and Circle II Circle at the...

    The Official First Impressions/Updates/Reviews of this year's ProgPower

    Unfortunately, my bad ankle will only let me withstand about 1 set worth of music so I missed Seven Kingdoms and Vangough which sucks because I know I would have really enjoyed Seven Kingdoms. I want to thank Nathan for bringing Ross The Boss to Progpower because after seeing them tonight...
