Being a diehard Manowarrior automatically makes me a VS fan, as well. I like DeFeis' vocals on Avantasia and I've heard Atreus Act I as well. I'd rate his vocals a 9/10.
How do they rate for you!?

This has been a very enlightening thread to check out.
From what I can tell, about forty percent of you will be fired up to hear us play, another forty percent will be indifferent, 19 percent will be drinking outside, and seems like there are two guys who will hopefully be off giving each other a handjob during our set.

I know who those two vend...I mean guys are. I on the other hand will be monitoring your set very closely. Don't fuck up or embarass me.

The Other way:
After Forever (1)
Have all their albums. Love Floor's voice. I think they will put on a great show.
Threshold (2)
Favorite band in the festival musically. Actually started listening to them a few months ago. Then I gorged on getting most of their catalog. Great stuff. Damian will be very good. Mac will be missed though.
Primal Fear (3)
Love their last couple of albums. I think Ralf is going to really let loose with his vocals. Will be a pleasure to listen and watch them on stage.
Pagan's Mind (4)
Loved them the last time they played at the Festival. Great energy. They have one of the best guitarists in the land in Jørn Viggo Lofstad.
Sonata Arctica (5)
Pains me to put them this low. Love their first 2 album. Next 2 are good as well. I am just not feeling their latest. I have tried.
All Star Jam (6)
Will be fun to see what songs the performers have picked. I look forward to hearing their interpretations of the songs. Also the plus of hearing the lineup for next year.
Redemption (7)
Really like their 2 Ray Adler vocal albums. Fullness more than Ruins. They both are quality albums.
Firewind (8)
Would have been higher if Apollo was coming. Absolutely love their last album. Just a shame that he won't be here. It does help that Stephen Fredrick will chip in on some of the early stuff. Gus G is going to slay.
Communic (9)
I have both their albums. Good stuff. A lot of their material sounds the same though.
Virgin Steele (10)
Never got around to get any of their Cds. Samples sound promising. Will definitely watch their set.
Raintime (11)
Just not my cup of tea.

APOLLO TAKES TIME OUT, HENNING BASSE STEPS IN
FIREWIND mainman Gus G. has just issued the following statement:
Dear all, Heres the latest news and facts. It seems that 2007 has been quite an adventurous year for our singer Apollo. Hes currently having some problems back home and needs to take the next few months off. As our touring schedule is quite heavy, we will continue with a replacement and give him the time he needs to get back smoothly.
The German vocalist Henning Basse (Metalium) will step in from now on and complete all the 2007 tourdates with us. Henning has helped us already in the past on some shows on our last European tour with Angra. He really kicks ass on stage and is a great singer and performer, as well as a great guy. Were grateful to have him on board once again and youll be surprised by how hard this guy rocks!
All our upcoming shows will go on as scheduled and announced - no Firewind shows will be cancelled! See you on the road soon!
