PP USA XI tidbit

[zedowns]

Might as well take a stab at this too.

PAIN OF SALVATION
Volbeat
Labyrinth
Cain's Offering
Seventh Wonder
Loch Vostok

OPETH
Masterplan
Psychotic Waltz
Anubis Gate
Killing Touch
Manimal

After all the bullshit that I have been through this year (of which some I have not discussed in public), Dr. Evil is ready to throw a few cold ones back at the fest.

First one is on me, my friend.

 

[Rick Pierpont]

Wow! The Master of Suspense is back at it again!

I think Symphony X is a good guess for the repeat, but would not be surprised to see it be Freak Kitchen either. However, only one other person has my guess -- I think because it seems like such a long shot after two unsuccessful tries... Vanden Plas.

I'd really like to see Wolverine and think they are a possibility.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Illusion Suite or Seventh Wonder. Cloudscape wouldn't be a huge surprise, but I don't think it would be a first in the US. Didn't they play BAR Fest 2? Of course, Glenn said that 8 would be US debuts, but didn't say that the other 3 were from the US. So even if they played in the US before they would still fit.

Time will tell. It is always fun to see everyone come out and display their wishlists.

See y'all in 5 weeks!

I'd love to see Tarot play at ProgPower. As much as I like Nightwish, I like Tarot just a bit better. Chances of seeing them live are few and far between, but I can always dream!

Nope, Cloudscape has never played the US, I think you are thinking of Darkwater.

 

[mëtålspëd]

Im not going to venture any guesses.. because frankly everyone else is .

I just hope I am pleasantly surprised by some of the choices (all the happier if they were some of my "oddball" requests to Mr. H!). You haven't let me down with any of your rosters yet, doubt you are going to start now.

 

[jem777az]

I'd love to see these bands amongst others:

Division By Zero
Illusion Suite
DGM
Cloudscape
Mystic Prophecy
Hammerfall
Symphorce

 

[mitchgx]

My Guess: -FRIDAY-

Symphony X
Delain
Scar Symmetry
Myrath
Future's End
Eumeria

- Saturday-

Within Temptation
Redemption
Cloudscape
Dominici
Red Curcuit
Illusion Suite

For Glenn's sake, I hope this isn't the lineup he's come up with.

 

[Prog_Please]

I put my money on Ayreon making it on the bill! Afterall, his upcoming CD is supposedly more tour-friendly.

 

[No Username]

The only thing I will add is that 8 of them will be making their U.S. debuts.

...and we put out a hit order on any pos booor o crap that tries to deny a visa...

 

[Curufin]

See, Glenn's being clever. The repeat band is Blind Guardian, and they're going to play 12 sets.

 

[Angrafan]

Anathema is the one band I'd love to see at PP one day. Having to go to Mexico to see them gets expensive... =P
They played the US before, so they'd be one of the 3 bands that are not making their US debut...

 

[Pellaz]

Wow! Glenn, every year you continue to amaze and impress.

My guesses would be:


Sat:

AYREON

If you're gonna dream, dream big.
I'd be alllllllllll over this, as long as Arjen brought along a decent number of his 'name' guest vocalists for it. Just as it took a Nixon to go to China, it might take a Glenn to get Ayreon for the US.

 

[War Ensemble]

....
If anything, it would shut me the fuck up.

that is impossible.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

 

[Magius]

Cloudscape has never been to the US.

My guesses would be:

Friday:

SYMPHONY X
??
DGM
ORDEN OGAN
CHASOWAVE
NARNIA

Sat:

AYREON
SEVENTH WONDER
ILLUSION SUITE
CLOUDSCAPE
MACHINE MEN
DELAIN

While I realize that:
a) This would immediately degenerate into another wish list thread, and...
b) Prog fans outnumber Power fans by about six to one on this forum.
If one were actually posing a viable guess to the potential lineup, one might keep in mind that the Power Metal side of the fest needs to be represented.

 

[Magius]

I have all of those reactions every year.

Zod

Yup. You immediately came to mind when I read his post.

 

[Perditions Ghost]

The only thing I will add is that 8 of them will be making their U.S. debuts.

The headliners had better fucking bring it in spades next year cause the 5th slot bands will kick the shit out of them otherwise.

Glenn might as well have confirmed it himself! Tarot and (not so much the first one, damn Chicago Powerfest) Morgana Lefay are the 5th slots.

Can't wait to see what gets put together!

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

that is impossible.

Urge to kill rising... :/

 

[i am fabio]

Where is the Progpower XI wishlist thread? Did I miss it? The one where people list their dream lineups followed by others putting you down for how unrealistic it is, or occasionally people are praised for having such awesome dreams.

I searched and found the Predictions thread, and then there is this thread which kinda turned into a wishlist/prediction thread.....but is there a straight-up "Progpower XI Semi Realistic Fantasy Lineup Thread". I always love to read what people really want to see come up on that screen come Progpower Friday (or i guess early Progpower Saturday technically). Was there one recently i can look back upon?
