See, I wish more people were like you... Some of them are all like "I wanna see you doing that on my face, and then you'll see the consequences...blah blah blah..."

Bully wanna-bes....:p

Nevermore just thumbed their noses at you and the prestigious ProgPower event for the 2nd time and you're mad at those of us who dislike them?There may be a question of chemical imbalance here.

From a fan of (insert band here) band cancelling on the USA's best run metal festival, it does indeed suck much ass.

As a fan of the man who started and has elevated the best run metal festival in the USA, I feel his pain and know how much this sucks the suck out of suck. Knowing this man though, it's a risk he knows he takes with ANY band he books.

It's called business.

When Nevermore was announced, I was shocked. I never thought I'd see the day that they'd play PP, considering the cancellation at PP1. Business is business though. The demand was there and hatchet's were buried.

Now they cancel on PP again due to a tour, that they were already booked for, being pushed back, interfering with PP. Sure it sucks the suck out of suck for us who were excited to see Nevermore and, for some of us, to see how business can get done and hatchets can get buried for the exitement of all.

However, as a fan of (insert band here), I want success for said band. Touring with a HUGE, commercially successful band can elevate a bands status and bring them much deserved success: more tours, better album deals, better production budgets, etc. How can you blame them for staying with said "potentially lucrative" tour?

There is also a potential benefit to this too. Opening bands on big name tours often make friends with the headlining bands. Who's to say mention of PP isn't going to wiggle it's way into the ear of a band with more exposure, with a bigger label, with deeper pockets?

Exposure is the name of the game and people have taken notice of Glenn and PP. That is evident in the 3-day sell outs, the endless list of bands wanting to play and the labels that come back, time and time again.

Booking bands who deserve exposure is Glenn's business. And business is good. Have faith people. 7 amazing fests and counting. I'm sure the replacement will be fantastic.

Wish Nevermore the best of luck. They do deserve it and it's hardly a "thumbing" to the PP crowd.

They cancelled quite late in the game, as I recall, at the very first PPUSA in Illinois..SymX was brought in to replace them.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know anything about the 1st PP (until it was over) and that's why I probably don't remember it.

Ascension seems to be your average internet toughguy. Good goin', boss.

Not at all. I just hate it when someone hides behind a username calls people out and says "fuck you" . Because in the "real world", l know it wouldn't happen once they saw the person and realized the consequences for their actions.
 
See, what did I say??????
LOL

And by the way, there's lots of people that know me here on this Board from ProgPower... Trust me, I am not hiding under my nickname =)
 
I'm disappointed about the cancellation. But that means they'll be back in the future. I would have enjoyed hearing the new material. I'm sure there are plenty of bands (as listed previously) who can take that spot on the bill. Good luck hunting.
 
This is HORRIBLE news, the only thing that will keep me from killing myself now is if symphony x replaces them...

Ascension, your attitude defines what all to often ruins concerts for people.

So what you're saying is...it's ok fior people to come on this forum, call people out, & say "fuck you" ? What about that attitude? Would you like to comment on that?
l didn't start this crapfest and it really serves no purpose. l'll go ahead and apologize to Glenn & the Mod for even lowering myself and getting involved in this. It's beneath me.

What would those consequences be?
 
Ascension, you really don't get it uh?
I didn't call out to the people that DONT LIKE NEVERMORE. I said that to the ones that were jynxing it (if you know what that means). And by the way, considering that jynxing is not really something real, you should realize that the "Fuck You" just a rant from a Nevermore fanboy, not meant to be an actual attack to the "non Nevermore fans". Now if you really seem not to get this, I think you have a real problem.

If you don't wanna keep on the "crapfest", stop replying with your negative, non-sense, "I am here to be the bully"-attitude.

Have you noticed that not a lot of people like you over here, and most of your posts are purely useless, full of negative comments, complains or just pure bickering? I'm pretty sure you're better than that man!

I will comment. It's really simple. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion here. But it crosses the line when threats are made or eluded to in regards to face to face interaction at PP. That can only cause problems best left on the forum.

That made absolutely no sense at all.
And, l didn't realize this was a popularity contest.

Alright.. that's it... With this post I'm done with this useless argument...

If it made no sense at all for you, either you need to read it again or you're not very intelligent...

And it's not a popularity contest.

Now go find someone else to have your next "internet fight"... You talk so much about hating people that "hide" behind an internet screen name, and yet you've been doing this for quite a while... since you actually started posting here. What a hypocrite!

And I'm already gonna apologize to Glenn and Deron right here, I know that was pure bullshit and not necessary at all. Sorry folks, but you know how annoying it gets sometimes.
