NOW AVAILABLE: 1 Midweek Mayhem ticket 1 Saturday ticket

1 Friday & 1 Saturday ticket for sale - price negotiable. I would prefer to sell both the Fri & Sat to one person, but I will entertain individual day offers. Interested parties can contact me via email: drichy1120 at yahoo dot com. I'm so bummed that I won't be able to make the trip, but a...

Some off the top of my head: Judas Priest- Beyond the Realms of Death Judas Priest- Painkiller Black Sabbath- Heaven & Hell (really the whole H&H album is practically perfect, but the title track is my favorite) Rainbow- Stargazer / Light in the Black Dio- All the Fools Sailed Away Rush-...

I've had a week to digest this album. It's a fantastic release! Their best since "A Night at the Opera." At this stage in their careers, I think it's the best we can expect from Blind Guardian- fans longing for another "Nightfall in Middle Earth" or "Imaginations from the Other Side" should...

Pretty sweet Wednesday for my first Progpower :D Congratulations on putting together a really awesome bill!

Good call! It's Owens' best vocal performance, bar none!

The Borealis and the Galloglass are both in my regular rotation! Great topic, and there are so many criminally overlooked bands/albums; we could go on forever! Here are a few that come to mind: Deadly Sin- "Sunborn" Masquerade- "Surface of Pain" Last Tribe- "The Uncrowned" Eternal Flight-...

It's like they said, "Hey, let's get the guy from KISS for our coffee commercial, ... but the commercial won't be about KISS, nor will it be about coffee!"

Ticket purchased. Can't wait - particularly stoked for While Heaven Wept!

Ticket purchased. And the discounted price is very much appreciated! Looking forward to a great show!

First timer here. Happy to have contributed in some small way to this selling out as quickly as it did. Can't wait to meet you all (not to mention see some kick-ass bands!) next year!

My knowledge of Japanese metal is "Crazy Nights," and that's it. Based on this alone, I think maybe, just maybe, Loudness is more well known.

1) I agree with the notion that Nevermore was running on fumes during their last album, but I thought their prior album, "This Godless Endeavor," was outstanding. To each his own. 2) if you're looking to explore Sanctuary's older material, I would start with "Into the Mirror Black," then...

Love Blaze's solo stuff, so you wouldn't get any complaints from me. However, I get the sense a Blaze Bayley set wouldn't go over so well.

Ticket purchased. I'm officially going to my first ProgPower. Now for the longest eleven month wait I've ever had to endure. But I have no doubt it'll be worth it! BTW, thank you so much for posting the Ticketmaster link- that really made it easy!
