it would be great to do an AOR melodic rock type of fest somehow, theres a lot of different bands id love to see along with music vids for each, of course Journey above all else but I know that would be hard for a fest so some smaller but still amazing bands-
-Robert Tepper (he had a few hits in the 80's with film soundtracks, great AOR voice, really dramatic and it would be a blast to see live)

-Danger Danger (definitely especially with Andy Timmons on guitar and if possible the amazing Paul Laine on vocals but Ted would be fine, that would rock!)

- Robin Beck (I think she is the best female vocalist in melodic rock AOR and has a great band backing her, would love to see her play live)

-Hardline (w/ Johny Gioeli on vox & Neal Schon on guitar would be just insane, such a great band)

-Alias reunion (get Fredi Curci and Steven back man those guys are melodic kings! Fredi is one of the best voices Ive ever heard)

-House of Lords (they are totally active and still kick ass, James Christian is one of the best singers around and new guitarist Jimi Bell shreds)

- WINGER (Id hear them anywhere even progpower fest, they can play anything, the newest album actually has some prog metal stuff, Kip is one of the best singers/musicians around, Reb is a monster guitarist and Rod is a drumming legend, would be killer)

- Stan Bush (w/ Barrage if possible, the god of AOR! the voice of 80's action soundtracks and of course the transformers, would be fun as hell you gotta admit)
