Kansas City Power Metal Fest - date and first 3 bands announced

[Diabolik]

have you guys thought about Jag Panzer and Nevermore?

they want good bands.

 

[Jasonic]

Jag Panzer are a great band fool!

It doesn't sound like NM are doing shows this year.
I think Warrel Dane mentioned wanting to do some solo shows.

Nevermore was mentioned, so we can all eagerly await Mr Bozarth's reply.....

Nevermore is playing the NEMHF

Nevermore is playing the NEMHF

Oh, ok. Well maybe they are playing gigs this year.
I like some Nevermore stuff. The one time I saw them live though was not very impressive. (on the Dummy Burger tour)

 

[rms]

I saw them open for In Flames like 3 years ago, barely a fan then.

How sad it is now

Nevermore opened for In Flames?
When and where was this???

In Flames opened for Nevermore on tour once, but that was back in like 2001.

04? The tour had Evergrey In Flames Nevermore and I wanna say Shadows Fall..my first concert haha

 

[Cephalopod]

Pretty much any American band that would fit somewhere into the "power metal" category has been considered...but like I said, we don't really have a lot of money, so many bands just wouldn't be feasible. Maybe next year!

 

[GateXII]

Dude you should have told me Rob I would have written out a check for you! You just couldn't cash it until March of 2027.

Yeah, that is the one. That was 2001 my friend.

What???
In Flames , Nevermore, and Shadows Fall??
Maybe this was a short tour or something.
I don't recall this hitting Chicago at all.
Maybe these were one off Gigantour or Sounds of the Underground dates???

 

[rms]

No, supporting Come Clarity. Evergrey too.

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Not Shadows Fall. It was In Flames, Throwdown, Nevermore, and Evergrey; I also saw the tour so I can vouch.

My report of the concert as well. It was a secondary market tour so it might not have even come to Chicago or Mokena.

 

[Jasonic]

Ah, ok, now that you mention EVERGREY, it does ring a bell.

This tour did not come to Chicago.

The tour in 2001 was Nevermore (Dead Heart In a Dead World), In Flames (Clayman), Walls of Jericho, and Shadows Fall.

I was also at this show. I was most excited to see Evergrey, since it was my first time, but I was also really looking forward to Nevermore since I hadn't seen them in a few years. Unfortunately Warrel was tanked and made a huge ass out of himself...that was the first time I'd been to a show where there were more "boo"ers than those cheering. Really, really disappointing. I hope the next time I see them they're a lot better. But Evergrey owned!

I didnt think Nevermore was that bad, but yeah Warrel was fucked up on something. Evergrey's performance was the finest 30 minutes of live music that I have ever seen in Lawrence.

Well, it definitely won't be a problem anymore due to his illness. Unless of course his drug of choice has changed. Hmmm...might help explain a few things.

I dont know what he was on, but my friends saw him carried into the venue.
