Jasonic, you seem to be very knowledgeable when it comes to things that suck

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention

Won't be in Columbus on May 18
I'll be in Cleveland, just found out that Dark Tranquillity

Maybe there are some forum members who have a problem with this show?

Sorry bro...
The majority of us are not into mainstream radio hard rock / alternative stuff that is dominating that festival line up......

Good for you if that's your bag. I suppose if it is, that fest will give you your fill.
 
So many new shows have popped up since this thread was created:

- Helloween / Gamma Ray
- Overkill / Warbringer (Maybe)
- Iron Maiden
- Powerfest (Friday only)
- H&H / Priest / Motorhead / Testament
- Alehorn III (the rumors make me a happy boy, I would tell you, but I don't want to get anyone in trouble)
 
Hate Eternal/Soilent Green/Skeletonwitch/Toxic Holocaust (good show)
Powerfest:
Iced Earth
Testament
Prognation (maybe)
Arch Enemy/DT/Firewind
Miles Beyond
Demon Hunter (maybe)
Death Angel/God Forbid
Iron Maiden in Ohio (maybe)
H&H/JP/Mortorhead/Testament (would kill hundreds and dismember own body to go)


I saw Hate Eternal at the I-Rock, which is basically a bar with a stage. the stage was about 3 feet off the ground with no guidbars. Wicked night to say the least.
 
My next 2 shows...

Thanks Rachel. I'll see you Tuesday night.

Didn't think a dozen or so Savatage CD covers were enough to try to get signed so I went out and grabbed a few more related items today - a fistful of awesome power metal!

That "Awesome Power Metal" sticker there on the shrink wrap is a Metal Haven seal of approval I guess. This is great stuff. Stuff I didn't pay enough attention to while I was wallowing in dm/mdm/smdm, etc, earlier in this first decade of the new millennium. I guess I'm one of those flaky fickle fans... :heh:

At any rate, I'm really hyped up for Tuesday's show. :kickass::kickass::kickass:
 
See you all Tuesday!
JOP and CIIC rocked PropPower this past weekend.
Classic Savatage tunes = nothing short of amazing and LaPorte totally recreated Criss's style, which was incredible and a priceless gift for me, as I never got to see Criss live before he died.
Although I almost got trampled by my own boyfriend in the pit. Ha Ha!
Jon Oliva is so funny...with all his commentary and facials.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the show on Tuesday. And a little birdie told me "Chance" will definitely be on the set list.
