Think Fates Warning would attract people?

Plus, they should be able to bring in some fans, as Indiana is a short trek over here!

I bought a shirt as a form of payment for having a press pass

I think it would be cool to see Lorenguard out of Indiana.

Eh, I got in for free but that's because it was through Massacre Records as a member of the press.

Hopefully once the date is picked another show isn't double booked. Cause I can tell you now, if good death metal tour show is booked at Reggies on the same day, no one will show up to the fest.

Wizard and Skull Fist were the definitely winners in my eyes. Skullfist was a total surprise, never heard of them. The only band I had actually heard of besides Wizard was Slauter Xstroyes and they were okay. None of the bands were terrible, just most of them gave me the reaction of, "yeah...

$25-30 is a little on the high end, I would only pay that much provided that there were multiple bands I would want to see, or one band that it'd be my only chance to see that I'm a really big fan of. I would have probably paid $25 to see Wizard if I wasn't on their guest list, but for the...

If you can find a Half Price books around you, they always seem to have a good selection as I have friends always talking about the stuff they were able to find there.

I still feel the city would attract more people, Joliet and the surrounding towns are mostly into the deathcore and metalcore scene whereas anywhere in Chicago would have an actual base to build around. All the shows I've been to at Mojoes have had really terrible draws where I know Reggies...

I wouldn't say power metal is a dying genre by any means. Sabaton, Iced Earth, Symphony X, Sonata Arctica, Edguy and Kamelot have all drawn enormous crowds. I went yesterday and the crowd was smaller than when I saw Firewind on tour. The bands on the fest just weren't ones that attract people to...

Well the throwback heavy metal bands definitely bring out the older fans and I feel that the power metal bands bring out the younger generation of fans. A little variety goes a long way as it attracts a greater range of fans. I know you guys want to bring out exclusive bands, but there are bands...

I think it would be awesome to try and get Luca Turilli's Rhapsody out here if their new album is received well and the Rhapsody of Fire concert attracts a bunch of people which it should. I'd definitely also want to see some of the other bands that haven't really been here but have tons of...

I didn't attend on Friday but I'll be there tonight and I had a couple of thoughts about what could make this more popular and get out to a farther reach of people. For starters, I'm an avid listener of power metal so you can imagine how ecstatic I would be for the opportunity to see Wizard...
