[The Surfing Alien]

Progpower youtube channel's fan vid playlist provides some handy statistics

A quick scan reveals Myrath's vids have the most views, deservedly so. A surprising number 2 is Ashes of Ares. Shadow Gallery comes in at third place, with everyone else trailing with far fewer views. Circus Maximus and Rhapsody lead that group.

Myrath stole the weekend.

No. Thats an understatement. Myrath didn't steal the weekend, they held it gunpoint and completely robbed it.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

They were great, no doubt, but your comment almost implies the rest of the bands were poor. There were a ton of good sets this year.

No. Thats an understatement. Myrath didn't steal the weekend, they held it gunpoint and completely robbed it.

They were undoubtedly the breakout performers and a big highlight...of Friday.

Then Wolf and Armored Saint played.

I'm just glad to see someone's paying attention to the playlist Chris and I put together.. it was a ton of work!

There is some humor in my statement. But I often forget that humor often isn't understood around here.

I can go into more detail and say Ashes was the biggest surprise and Armored Saint were by far the best, but thats the fanboy in me speaking.

How does saying Myrath "stole the show" imply all others were poor?

Not trying to argue.

 

[DemonOfTheWoods]

and, to my knowledge, not a single band went through the turmoil Myrath went through to deliver what they delivered.

Did they?

I don't think it implies that. Sorry, but Myrath *annihilated* everyone. It's not an overstatement, nor it's saying "everybody else sucked." Nobody sucked. Myrath was just that much better.

I'm still calling for your metal card to be revoked for willingly missing the Saint.

 

[AngraRULES]

I'm still calling for your metal card to be revoked for willingly missing the Saint.

It was a combination of being unfamiliar with their music, hunger and a bit of a need to be social (as if I wasn't enough already).

And if I told you what I'm listening to right now, my metal card would indeed be revoked.

I am not sure if you would count this, but Wolverine's acoustic set for the Gold Badge holders and the VIP's were bringing tears to the audience's eyes. I would say they were a very close second to Myrath's unbelievable performance.

Not just metal....

 

[AngraRULES]

Not just metal....

This was my 4th ProgPower, so I don't have the same historical frame of reference that some of you do. I have seen some brilliant performances in the past 4 years, including this year. Myrath's performance was the most magical set I have seen.

 

[Jasonic]

Armored Saint's set may be the best performance I have seen all year.

I'm pretty sure I have you beat with this '80s "rock" band I bought on a whim but is actually wimpier than Glass freaking Tiger.

Same here.

I was listening to Katy Perry when I posted that.

Case closed.

Yeah, go ahead and turn that card in. We'll order you up some Manowar for step 1 of your 12-step recovery program.

Steps 2-12 are also Manowar.
