I've never really had a bad experience with a musician. Prog Power III set the bar of fan interaction and civility for all time and it is high. I've only had two less than stellar experiences. But nothing that made me hate the band. And in Iced Earth's defense I have to say that I've met...

I like reading these posts. This makes the first time I've missed two years in a row so I get to live it vicariously through the ones that went. Main reasons are same as everyone, money. But I always plan on making a Prog Power trip. When shit happens it goes but right now I'm pretty stoked...

I feel like I just got a bit of a "new" Pyramaze cos I finally got Tabula Rasa. While the Kammeyer writing canon is much more potent than that of Bloodbound or anything else these days, hearing Urban on a non Tad Morose was invigorating. A teaser if you will. Plus you got Jonah's sweet bands...

It only took 8 years but to finally legitimately think that there is a chance for Pretty Maids to play the best US fest?!?!?! I've been falling out of love with most new power and prog but I will go anywhere in the US that Pretty Maids plays. I want it to be Prog Power but I'll be there...

Well... Bruuuuuuuce won another grammy. I wonder how many this is like twenty? "Oh yippie yay, here's another damn paper weight. Maybe I'll just trade it in for another Tele."

I think many young people who pick up guitar these days don't do it for the love of music. Instead of playing guitar as art, they play guitar as a skill to show how good they are at something. I've seen a billion teens who sweep away into oblivion but when you say let's jam on Green Manalishi...

I'm still gonna give Taking Dawn a whirl when the cd comes out. I really did dig Take Me Away a whole hell of a lot. It's just Time To Burn really rubbed me wrong. I'm not down with motherfucking fucking hell yeah hallefuckinglufuckingyeah and stuff even though I have a dirtier mouth than...

What the tits? I remember when they were called Seventh Son and had that song Take Me Away on their MySpace. I crapped my pants, I mean I know I like a tad lighter music but that song was Bon Jovi meets Edguy! It was bad ass! This though, man this sounds like a complete 180 into modern metal...

I think the cover art is one of the coolest ones they've had in years. They finally got someone to do CG crap right. I would sport a shirt of that artwork any day over Rabbit, or the 1997 CG of Keeper III. And I like the new Future World. But man, I'm still kinda hesitant about this...

I find myself loving with all my heart the most, records from the seventies such as Born To Run, Sin After Sin, Sad Wings Of Destiny, The River, and all of Jackson Brownes stuff in the seventies. I know that these aren't all "100%" live no overdubs, BUT there was no such thing as auto tuned ass...

I think one of the biggest things bands have to do now (and many do) is make their fans feel as special as possible. Like, posting on boards often, hanging out after shows, maybe even so far as to include a note when people order cds through the band's website. Like "Thanks so much for buying...

Fucking Michael Bormann! Dude! Man, for his first solo album, Michael sang, guitar, bass, drummed and produced. Even now he tends to multi task a bit in the studio. To me its laughable that Jaded Heart exists without him.

Coolness, some great answers. Why the ass didn't I think of Hubi? That's a winner right there. However, maybe I badly worded the parameters of the question. Or maybe it's just confusing in general ha. I would agree that wholeheartedly Arjen, Tobias, Tuomas, and the ilk are amazing...

I've been asking this question to alot of people lately. Do any of you guys know in metal, a solo artist that isn't "just a singer" or virtuoso guitarist. Examples of these would be Joe Lynn Turner and Yngwie. I'm trying to find the Springsteens of metal. The Bruce rocks his Esquire and...

People that say that Tobi is doing this for money are ill informed. I have been an ardent Edguy fan since Theater and I believe that Tobias is one of the few musicians out there that writes from the heart. For all the accusations of he's doing this to make more money, it's like saying that...
