Do I need to even say anything about this ridiculous oddball band?

Giving BtA a slot would do more for BtA than it would for ProgPower, being that BtA tours a lot throughout the US, but this would be a big crowd for them and mostly of people interested in their music.
Thank christ...Unfortunately Glenn won't book instrumental bands so I don't think you'll see Behold The Arctopus at ProgPower.
LOL at Behold...the Arctopus being obscure.
And I can remember quite a few threads where people have suggested bands, Glenn comes in and says something like "wow this band isn't bad, I hadn't heard of them."
Not those exact words of course, but I can't be bothered to look for direct quotes right now. Also that would be just pointless.
Anyway, I love B...TA. Can't wait for their show in Atlanta with Intronaut and Mouth of the Architect.
I prefer his drumming in Blotted Science over his Behold stuff because I love crazy technical instrumental stuff, but theirs is sometimes to off the wall for me, but they are good.
Could we PLEASE have all wish list threads moved to their own forum?
I am so sick. and. fucking. TIRED. of seeing bleh bleh BLAH for ProgPower whatever threads.
Don't you see that the most respected forum members almost NEVER start "O I wish I could see ___ band" threads? Maybe you should learn from the smarter people who post here.
Paul asked:
<<BTW, has Glenn ever specifically stated he would not book an instrumental act for PP? I don't expect it to happen any time soon, but I don't remember Glenn posting this.>>
Probably not on the forum but I've discussed it with him. I have instrumental bands like Morglbl and Indukti that I think would be readily embraced by the ProgPower audience but Glenn wasn't very interested. Years ago I even abstractly suggested Gordian Knot - he thought they might make a good opener! I don't want to speak for him but I think its not his thing and he is afraid that for some reason people would head for the exit doors rapido (like Pink Cream 69, Secret Sphere, and Virgin Steele!). Funny thing is that I first saw Morglbl play at Headway Festival in Amsterdam (blew everyone away). Indukti is routinely booked at metal festivals in Europe.
