Edited bands of interest.

That is a PHENOMENAL line up*. What are you talking about Gugs? You were willing to fly to Atlanta just for Nevermore, but you'd turn this down? Notice the inclusion of Nevermore!!! :tickled:



* if it was somewhere in the US, or just somewhere cheaper to get to than Italy during the summer :loco:

I could not care less about G-n-R, Whitesnake, Angra (been there, done that), Motorhead (yeah, shoot me), Stratovarius & Opeth (I can see them 4x per year in the U.S.).

That leaves: Nevermore (which rules, BUT ONLY IN A HEADLINE SET, otherwise I can see them here), Gamma Ray (seen them 3x already), Dimmu Borgir (only strong if they're surrounded by other great bands, which is not the case here), Sonata Arctica (legit for me), Testament (seen them 3x, and there are 3 other fests I'd much rather see them at this summer).

I stand by my original assessment. This fest blows.
