It kinda ages me but I've been into their music since '84, killer riffs but not for everyone, I think the vocals scare a lot of potential fans off but the rhythms and intensity of the stuff is unparallelled, kick ass band! :kickass:
 
The RW news should be on the RW thread, but thanks all the same. Now back to GD! M9 said it right! The music outweighs the vocals in a positive way!
 
Me too. I first heard GD on a metal radio program in 1984 then bought the record on the Banzai label. Amazing music and I've always wanted to see the band live.

My favourite non 80's GD song is Shadows of the Moonless Night.:headbang:

I really think it would be a great idea. Running Wild will have a new album out later this year and Grave Digger early next year so they will both be touring for their latest releases. It is the 10th ProgPower and these are two bands that you can consider Godfather's of the power metal genre. I really hope this happens. It would surely bring me to my first ProgPower without question.

Well, whatever it takes, then!:lol: I hope Glenn can pull this off! I can think of 4 or 5 people from this thread alone that would be willing to sponsor both GD and RW for PPUSA X!:headbang:
 
GRAVE DIGGER is an incredible live act, I live in Mexico and i traveled last mont to NY just to see this band that of course is almost imposibble to play at Mexico, I have to say that the concert at BB King's in NY city on March 2was amazing, 2 complete hours of pure power, GD played 20 songs. I think this band should be one day at ProgPower.

I was at that show too, it was quite amazing. That is so cool that you came from Mexico. I thought the guy who travelled from Chicago was nuts but you came from a lot further. I also saw Digger at the BWBK 6 Pack Weekend back in 2004, their first USA show. It was incredible.
 
Anyone familiar with Grave Digger's sell out album in the 80's? It was called Stronger than Ever and went under the band name "Digger". It's just butt rock, but it's really pretty damn good. They're still good song writers, no matter what they're singing about and writing riffs like.

Definitely worth hunting down.... they have one of the best cheesy-ass 80's ballads ever on that album. Here's the song put to some shitty video.

FUCK YES! RUNNING WILD and GRAVE DIGGER are long overdue for Progpower! PPX would hardly be my first Progpower, though. I've been attending from PPIV to the present.
