Wow. You can just HEAR it when a band has their shit together. Man, the ideas they're throwing around on their MySpace tunes are SWEET. Really, really good stuff all around. And the singer isn't that bad.

I'll keep this short. I love The Human Equation, but it took me a while. Not sure why, but I do recognize it for the genius it is. Having said that, the new album, well...I'm listening to it obsessively. I don't care about 'fully utilizing' the singers, or whatever. I don't buy Ayreon...

Oh, right, because the forum itself wasn't pimped at all during the fest. Just for that, I'm hell bent on listening to it tomorrow at work. Of course, I don't have that many posts, either, so I'm a schill, no doubt...

I see what you did there. :lol:

During their signing session, Mattias had the new Morgibl Trio disc next to him. In his signing zeal, their drummer grabbed it and signed it. Mattias: 'Dude, you just signed my CD.' Drummer: 'That's not one of your CDs.' Mattias: 'Not one of MINE. I bought this.' Drummer: 'Oh...

John Petrucci says hi. Jorn was, hands down, the guitarist of the fest. Loved his playing and his overall attitude (or lack thereof).

Cross-posting this to a few places. I mean, I thought about this for all of two minutes. For me, that’s a lot of work. So I had to share. Best ‘Is that Corey Feldman?!?’ Moment: Primal Fear’s guitar player Best ‘Is that Peter Garrett, lead singer for Midnight Oil?!?’: Again...

Yeah, I actually thought about that right after I posted. Instead of helping someone out, I really ought to be helping the *showcase* out...

Anyone have a spare Showcase ticket? PM me if you do...

Just booked a room, so apparently there's still availability. Woot!

Dummyheads. It's both. And neither. Anyway, too bad about them. Still, thanks for supporting unique bands that need a chance. Mike

Hey Ken - just sitting here listening to 'Feel...' and still loving it after all this time. Is anything still cookin' with these guys? I know the singer left, but is the rest of the band still together? Thanks! Mike

Thanks for the disc, Ken! I am a loyal customer for as long as you are the supplier, good sir! Mike
