Already got tix for the Pre-ProgPower USA show.....

 

[Jasonic]

Cool!!! Oh, I guess I didn't realize, the Mokena show is Prog Power weekend???

I guess a non-point for those going to Prog Power, unless they didn't get tickets for the pre-party...

 

[Saladbar]

DAMN!!
I didnt buy tix for the Atlanta show cause they were coming to Chicago so I was just planning on being in ATL for Prog Power weekend......but now......@#$%&*!!

The events around this fest have been disappointing me, it's nobody's fault, just my luck.

 

[Jasonic]

Dunno what to tell you..
Guess you can sell your Prog Power tix..

There's no way I'm missing this tour.

 

[Diabolik]

I cant wait.....Pagan Fest, Heathen Crusade and now this!!!!!!

 

[Jasonic]

This is indeed an amazing year for shows!

 

[The_Q]

I'd go to this show even if it were at the Manhole!!!!!!!!

 

[Jasonic]

No interest for me.

You have issues...........
You have an interest in Kamelot and Edguy, but NOT Helloween and Gamma Ray??????

 

[Jasonic]

Liking Edguy and NOT Helloween is like being into Primal Fear but not Judas Priest...

Just doesn't make sense.....

or liking Volkalok and not Krynitza???????

 

[Jasonic]

or liking Volkalok and not Krynitza???????

Yeah, exactly what most of us were thinking!!!

 

[Diabolik]

I like Primal Fear and not Gamma Ray. Is that similar?

totally different

 

[Diabolik]

Vocal link though.

is there really a fan of the early Gamma Ray stuff?

 

[TX Metal Cowboy]

No TX dates that sux!

I still think the first Gamma Ray album "Heading For Tomorrow" was one of the best at the time. It sure followed the Keepers formula. "Sigh No More" and "Insanity And Genius" had some good songs but alot of filler IMO. You have to remember though, this was the early 90's when power metal was very new and these kind of cd's were rare as well.

Pick up Gamma Rays DVD "Heading For The east". Anyone who is into good power metal and doesn't like at least one song on that DVD has issues.

Gamma Ray didn't come into their own until Land Of The Free....

first off power metal wasnt new then....there was tons of it....

Running Wild
Helloween
Mordred
Midas Touch
Scanner
Vendetta
Rage
Heathen (mix of speed metal)
Watchtower

and many many many other Power Metal acts out there. Sure it wasnt as huge as it is now...but to call it new. The LP's, cassettes and CD's were not hard to get. Most record stores carried them. I never had a problem getting them around me. There was life before Impulse Music.
