I am pretty excited about this, though I havent really listened to them as much as should I do like what I have heard. Anyone think that that they can be one of the returning bands moved up to a 4th spot.

It's going to be epic.

 

[Azrael LenGraden]

We can only Hope...I have it on good authority that someone put up a big chunk of change to sponser them so I am hopeful!

 

[YtseJammer]

I sure hope they come back.

Best band at PP IV.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

I sure hope they come back.

Best band at PP IV.

Better than Rage, Nightwish, Sy-X, & Pagan's Mind? I dunno about that....
Don't get wrong, I enjoyed their performance, but nothing stood out for them to be the "best"......I can always agree to disagree! :Spin:

Yes, better than all four of those bands! I've seen Sym X about 10 times, that was their worst performance!!

Rage did nothing for me, PM and Nightwish were, good, but VP was

Vanden Plas put on an incredible show, but the best band/performance from PP IV was hands down Evergrey. They just fuckin smoked! Anyone that disagrees with me is just wrong!

I thought VP was also the best band at PPIV, but I am a bit biased as I have been a huge fan of their since "The God Thing." I knew their material backwards and forwards. I thought Andy was an awesome frontman and VP had the best harmony vocals I have heard from any band live not named The Eagles as well. Since "Beyond Daylight" was released in 2002, they are quite overdue on this release. I hope it is a masterpiece like their last three.
The band is also working on a rock opera based on the same concept, but the regular VANDEN PLAS album is the main priority. I am sure updates on it's release will be made soon. The leftover material from Christ 0 will be used for the rock opera.

I agree wholeheartedly!

 

[Angrafan]

I also think that Vanden Plas was the best band that year.. a killer show!

They definitely satisfied my Prog Palate for that evening. I would definitely want to see them in a 4th Slot at PPVII.
