[Soul of a new Machine]

Last year's bill was more interesting with bands like Overkill, Nuclear Assault, BLAZE...
As I prefer more traditional metal in my opinion...
Testament, Symphony X and Jon Oliva are interesting though

Who is this Dennis Stratton character and when was he part of Maiden??

He was the guitar player before Adrian Smith joined. He was on the Soundhouse Tapes (demo) and the first album.

Ah, I like the bill. A lot of filler bands, but also many very kick ass bands. Also...the newly reunited Obituary has just been added to the bill! That is worth the money alone! Should fucking kick ass...I can't wait.

Its worth the price for RAVEN, holy shit, i didnt think they would ever leave the orient (where they get the respect they deserve)
