Anyone considering sponsorship for 2008?

I can see it now:

Chicago Powerfest 2008

Headlining - Candlemass and Journey

Dude, if Candlemass is on the bill, you could put flippin' Fall Out Boy on there for all I care................

 

[DRFS Rich]

I heard that Journey is using one of Yngwie's old singers now. I can't really imagine what that would sound like...

Jeff Scott Soto, an incredible vocalist.

^^ Not that it would happen, but if any band remotely close to Fall Out Boy were placed on the bill I would boycott this fest indefinitely.

 

[ShadowLioness]

Umm, my post was meant for Jason, but Rich got his ass in the way.

 

[Jasonic]

I gotcha, tho some of you want Machine Head, so I don't know what to tell you........

 

[Saladbar]

Testament, that would so rule.

 

[Srontgorrth]

Testament, that would so rule.

Testament live is fucking AWESOME..

Here is one major issue I see with lots of the bands we are all mentioning, such as King D, Testament, and Candlemass. I would guess all those bands are already planning 2008 tours. I suppose if their Chicago stop were Powerfest, it would be cool, though if they are on tour already, it would seriously cut down the out of towners (Which from what I have read about last year and this year accounts for over 50% of the attendees).

Just something to think about

Jeff Scott Soto, he sounds killer fronting the band, a lot different than Steve Perry but it works....also their drummer Dean who sounds a ton like Steve Perry is singing about half the set these days...

Actually once Steve Perry left the band I lost all interest in them, but JSS is one of my favorite vocalists out there so I was pretty pumped about the news.

Oh sweet, Candlemass, Journey and Fall Out Boy....how about we also get Morbid Angel and The Goo Goo Dolls?

 

[Mountain King]

Yeah I dunno, Machine Head is not terrible but honestly they're perfect as an opener for Heaven and Hell and Megadeth...cause after about 4 songs I've had enough, I can't imagine having to sit through a 90 minute set, especially since Flynn likes to ramble on about nothing...

 

[Mountain King]

Well Testament hasn't played the midwest in how long? Their idea of a US tour is 3 California dates and then Europe dates.

2003 was the last time... with Skolnic in the band it has been even longer.

Hey, watch it!! I like the Goo Goo Dolls.
(Though they have been doing the lame soft rock thing lately, ala Bon BlowMe)

Whenever Gods of Metal was. I can't recall. 2003 sounds about right.
I saw that the Alex Skolnik trio are coming somewhere.

Skolnick didn't play with Testament during Gods of Metal, it was "Metal" Mike Chlasciak.

Elevenking's name was thrown out there. I would be interested in helping bringing them over.

 

[Diabolik]

Well, not really.

[Diabolik]

I would be interested in chipping in if there were a few others interested.
