A thought on future Gamma Ray tours. My experience has been that many power metal bands came through the US for the first time in 2005/2006. For a lot of them, their return is based on attendance. There are some that won't be back. If Gamma Ray doesn't do well on this tour, don't assume they'll be back anytime soon. The moral: it might be worth the effort to see them now.
Oops, sorry I didn't get back to this thread. Thanks John, for picking up my slack! Of course, bummer about the cancellation. However, I'm pretty stoked that we got Cellador again! They really rocked at our Sonata show!!!!
