If you could decide.....

[Symphony]

.....which 2 bands would accompany PQ on a headline UK club tour....who would you choose?

Bear in mind that obviously we couldn't have bands like Helloween etc but I'd be very interested to hear your opinions guys!

 

[dragonwarrior]

Bal-Sagoth!!! I think they're organising a tour at the minute. I know they're not exactly power metal though.

I'd like to see Metalloid get some decent touring done. I saw them live a few weeks ago at a club in Derby and i'm seeing them in Nottingham tomorrow. I mentioned them before Steve, they have Pete from Threshold/Soliloquy.

I'd also love to see Sabaton and Heavenly live over here.

 

[DE4life]

Freedom Call, definately. I fucking love FC and would love to see them on a UK tour, though I dunno if they'd be too big for support.


Other bands off the top of my head... Altaria, Dragonland, Edge of Thorns (not sure if they're still around...), I would say Elvenking but not sure if they're too big?, Falconer, Iron Fire, Iron Saviour, Mercenary, Zonata... any of those bands would definately be cool, from a PM perspective. Most are fairly small but play awesome music ! Especially Altaria, though they've changed singer recently.

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

Holy CRAP Steve that it one helluva hard question.

In an ideal world...

Arthemis (keep Alessio and Andrea very busy ), Freedom Call or Dionysus?

 

[Symphony]

Thanks so far guys....obviously Arthemis would be unlikely as I don't think I would want alessio doing 2 sets! hehe!

 

[Alcaline]

I second Bal-Sagoth - keep it British! Threshold or Intense would be cool too.

Or my band, Sorcerer's Spell

I'm new round here by the way, Hi everyone!

 

[TemplarOfSteel]

Intense without doubt. Also Falconer, Elvenking, Masterplan, Season's End, Skylark, StormWarrior or Twilightning would be orgasmic. I'm sure my band would be open to suggestions too lol =P

 

[DE4life]

Masterplan are fantastic, definately worth a shout.

 

[1928]

What about Timeless Miracle? Great melodic power metal, and they need more recognition, especially with their second album coming out this year... or Cloudscape! Awesome progressive power metal, third album coming out later this year..

Good to have you with us dude! Hope you stick around

 

[Symphony]

Thanks guys, really appreciate your time in putting these suggestions together.

 

[Volcane]

Serenity, Thunderstone, nightmare, heavenly, freedom call, secret sphere, communic, steel attack...

Some decent shouts:
Season's End - 1 vg album, never seen them live
Intense - saw them in 2002 or so, never listened to an album but enjoyed their set
Rise to Addiction - 1 vg album, never seen live either. Feature 2 ex-members of BLAZE

Threshold are too big (without being Helloween massive) and Masterplan would probably see themselves as too big despite hardly touching these shores

But at the same time would like to see some decent up and coming bands, eg had personally never heard of Soliquoy until I saw them at Weston-Super-Mare suppoting PQ and throughly enjoyed the set

 

[Andiferum]

Alestorm! Napalm could sort that one easily & I'm sure they'd love to play with you guys!

 

[Dan W]

Had a thought about FourWayKill, completly different styles but that way Chris Neighbour could come on and do his backing vocals on The Vigil (and the odd bit on MOI)

 

[SiliconMessiah]

Alestorm! Napalm could sort that one easily & I'm sure they'd love to play with you guys!

Haha beat me to it! Would be a good pairing for me though, two great bands in one night! And, as you say, both being on Napalm it's got a good chance of actually happening.

 

[TemplarOfSteel]

How about bringing Edenbridge over? They're awesome, also on Napalm, and you could play Lost Withot You live.

 

[Symphony]

Nice work guys......we are currently exploring options....but still keep the ideas coming!

 

[SiliconMessiah]

Blaze Bayley! He needs a bit of help, not having a record label and all!

 

[Power_Metal_Dom]

If Blaze was supporting *shudder* I'd make sure to get to the venue late for PQ

What about DragonLand, Dreamtale or Celesty?
