    Energy and Power Metal...

    Does a style of music like power metal attract those that are more sensitive to energy, mediumship and new age/homeopathic medicine than other forms of metal? Any healers or mediums out there that come to PPUSA? If you are private about it, contact me via email... I'm interested to know, if...

    Your Feedback Needed: TEN TON ROLLERSKATE

    I think highly of those that frequent this board (and Perpetual Motion). I've known some of you for 10+ years, so I'm going to throw it out there and just hope that most "Get" the vibe in which it is intended. I have a new, fun project outside what most might expect from me! So if it isn't for...

    So let's start planning for next year....

    After all these yaers of working with Glenn, the real truth is that he is simply as crazy as a loon. He let's(as he puts it), "The Gods pick the bands"... His system is that he scotch tapes all of his CDs from the ceiling fans in his house and then sets them all on dangerous speeds. He picks...

    ProgPower USA X CD Sampler annual thread

    I have to say that of all the years (and I have them all), this year's PPUSA sampler probably has the best overall mix of great music I've heard. Both Talent and Production value has also kicked up tremendously. I'm glad we were on this one, because before I heard it I had joked about ending...

    ProgPower USA X: CD Input Needed (Grimms Bridge):

    Dear Sir, Reading Zero is on hiatus until further notice, so this effects future efforts in little to no way. :) Thanks for interest in RZ, I'll pass it along to the guys. I did attach a link to our myspace where we have the song posted, if you want to check it out...

    Prog Power X - The sound engineering was seriously bad :(

    I'm that guy who has been standing on the stage for just about every line check and live situation with the bands for ProgPower (all of them). I think the unsung heroes are the Center Stage FOH and monitor guys. Now keep in mind, I'm not really too biased, because I have little to nothing to do...

    Been to every single PPUSA?

    Something even the man himself cannot deny, I've been to as many as Glenn. ...And have been more sober. (Disclaimer: except for after the All-Star Jam). -C. Roy Reading Zero / Grimms Bridge / ProgPower USA Stage Manager

    Photos: The Crew needs your help...

    If you took pictures at this past ProgPower USA event, we need shots showing the bass gear in use on the stage. It was would be best if they showed the bassist in the shot, but we'll take any we can get. If you have some good shots of band members in-front of the "Markbass" bass gear (the...

    Fool's Game

    Is the band name a nod to the Mordred album of the same name or more personal than that? :Saint: Either way, I like it.

    Comments on the technical issues

    Another issue that probably should be cleared up regardless of your feelings of particular brands of gear. Sometimes it is our beloved artists that are f@#%ing up and not the gear. Not even the most amazing crew can make up for an artist f@#$ up... no matter how hard we try. For instance...

    Pics from crew jam?

    We rehearsed the song through about 4-5 times over 2 days, if I remember right. We had to do it between line-checks or before the bands got there at 11am. Glenn was at the first run through and had told us in advance, if you suck, you aren't playing. See... noone gets by the man. :lol: We...

    Comments on the technical issues

    AF had ended their set and taken down their gear. Then we are setting up the All Star Jam... We have mics for each singer ready to go. They were all Shure... She walked out and was using her mic from her set, which we can assume now that her crew had pulled from the main mix when they were...
