If you were planning Prog Nation '09...

[RoadKing]

What bands would you choose?

Keeping with the four-band format, I'd probably go with Agalloch and Katatonia as openers, then have Opeth and Porcupine Tree as co-headliners.

Fuck, someone really needs to make that happen!

I can dream, dammit...

 

[Sad Madrigal]

I want:

Queensryche
Porcupine Tree
Opeth
Dream Theater
and Pink Floyd [reunited]

This would be the best thing in my whole fucking life

 

[duncang]

Well, Progressive Nation is DT's tour, so they'll probably always be playing it...

 

[RoadKing]

I want:

Queensryche
Porcupine Tree
Opeth
Dream Theater
and Pink Floyd [reunited]

This would be the best thing in my whole fucking life

That wouldn't suck, either! Now, if we could just get someone to pull David Gilmour's head from his ass! lol

Yeah, I know it's DT's tour, but my question was if YOU were planning it, who would you choose? You know, hypothetical-like. Let me rephrase the thread title to placate the punctilious...

"If you were planning a Prog Nation STYLE show..."

 

[Carta's]

Agalloch
Anathema
Opeth
Edge Of Sanity reunited

 

[Ruun]

[Sad Madrigal]

reinforced tour

Queensryche
Anathema
Porcupine Tree
Opeth
Dream Theater
Rush
Pink Floyd [reunited]

period

 

[Brave.Archangel]

I doubt mike portnoy would ever get katatonia or agalloch or anathema or bands of that sort because they do not play teh technicals 32nd note soloz

 

[Mantraschism]

Hmmm...

Symphony X
Nevermore
Iron Maiden
Katatonia
Opeth
Blind Guardian

Agalloch and Anathema would fucking rule, too. Probably would want Vintersorg, too.

Edit: And the reuninted Devin Townsend Band.

 

[EkstatikParataxis]

Id take

Opeth
Dream Theater
Meshuggah
Porcupine Tree
Cynic
Behold... the Arctopus

And of course I would expand the Tour to Germany....

Iron Maiden

Iron Maiden at a prog-tour?

 

[osmosis2259]

Symphony X Porcupine Tree Opeth Dream Theater

 

[Saihtam]

Agalloch
Anathema
Porcupine Tree
Opeth

 

[RoadKing]

Hmmm...

Symphony X
Nevermore
Iron Maiden
Katatonia
Opeth
Blind Guardian

Agalloch and Anathema would fucking rule, too. Probably would want Vintersorg, too.

Edit: And the reuninted Devin Townsend Band.

Fuck, another great one I forgot, Symphony X! D'oh! Screw it, too many great bands to decide, gotta make it a full-blown festival now!

 

[Mantraschism]

Yes, Iron Maiden at a prog tour. They've gotten rather proggy in their recent years, although they always had some leanings.

And yep, gotta include Symphony X. And they must play all of 'V'. \m/ \m/ \m/

 

[Darkfloyd400]

Agalloch
Anathema
Porcupine Tree
Opeth

Win.
Scar Symmetry too.

 

[Ozzloaf]

Here are some bands that I'd like to see play PN:

Opeth
Meshuggah
Tool
Alice in Chains
Porcupine Tree
Symphony X
Atheist (They'd have to reserect their drummer...)
Between the Buried and Me
Ihsahn (prog black metal. Impossible but it would be cool.)
Pelican
Russian Circles
Mastodon
Evergrey
Indukti
Orphaned Land
Death
Negura Bunget
Dead Soul Tribe

 

[Ozzloaf]

I think my life would be complete and then I'd slowly float off into the afterlife if Tool, Opeth, and Meshuggah played the same show... It would be the best experience of my life.

 

[Shredzilla]

Dream Theater (Because they have to be on the bill)
Opeth (of course)
Nevermore
Pink Floyd (I copied someone )

 

[Volt]

Agalloch
Opeth
Katatonia
Between the Buried and Me

and I guess Dream Theater too since they have to be there... give them the 30min set though

 

[RoadKing]
