PP USA XI tidbit

[MetalAges]

Because I'm in a good mood today..one more thing.

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

. <--- means, "damn right"

Falconer has played the US before.

This is true. They played the BW&BK festival with Kristoffer on vocals.

However, this would be their US debut with Mathias on vocals. But I'm pretty sure that's not what Glenn meant by "US debut."

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Falconer. I've been a good girl and not pestered the guys in Falconer to find out if they've been invited. I like the suspense of waiting to find out one way or another at ProgPower.

 

[SharkBlack]

ANATHEMA!!!!!

 

[zedowns]

I'm completely stumped in regards to the line up next year. Looking forward to the Pain of Salvation announcement though!

 

[Harvester]

I expect the following responses to the roster:

1. Fuck yeah!
2. I'll be at the bar.
3. Meh. I'll stick around for a couple of songs to see if they impress me.
4. I cannot believe he didn't book (insert band name) again. WTF!
5. I can't believe he booked (insert band name) for (insert mulitiude of reasons). That's: a. AWESOME b. STUPID c. HRUH?
6. I'm curious to see them.
7. Solid pick. Look forward to seeing them.
8. It's about time!
9. WHO?


In other words, business as usual.

[J-Man]

there is at least TWO bands on your list who have played PP previously, so that kind of puts a dent into your list and I can;t remember about Cloudscape (I think they played the Pre-Party).

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

 

[Anubisaxe]

I will be there no matter who plays. I still hope we get some of the heavier or darker bands within the progressive metal realm (Ihsahn, Borknagar, Cynic, Blotted Science, Leprous).

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Freak Kitchen for the repeat? C'mon, you know I had to say it!

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Only my fans would complain about a two day festival with 12 bands total!

Oh, shit, that next year's roster video is gonna be lonnnnnng!

I expect the following responses to the roster:

1. Fuck yeah!
2. I'll be at the bar.
3. Meh. I'll stick around for a couple of songs to see if they impress me.
4. I cannot believe he didn't book (insert band name) again. WTF!

9. WHO?

I'm all about #1!

NARNIA

l really like those J...both of those new material is killer. The new Hibria is too...l like them as a PP choice.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Repeat = BLIND GUARDIAN.

 

[FataMorgana]

Freak Kitchen for the repeat? C'mon, you know I had to say it!

That's who I was thinking of too...

 

[OrbWeaver]

I will be there no matter who plays.

Ditto. I'd go to ProgPower even if I had no clue who anyone on the bill is!

 

[lifesadream]

I always go to PPUSA no matter what bands are announced. I trust Glenn's judgement on bands. With 8 US debuts I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of research come Sunday the 13th.

 

[Diamond45]

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.

I'm sure you'll get offers for free beers - but I'll offer you one anyways. You deserve to have fun after all the bullshit.

 

[Metalmilitia2000]

Just because I say it in every thread...

Annihilator.

Please.

If anything, it would shut me the fuck up.

 

[Diabolik]

*chants* Cha-os-wave! Cha-os-wave! Cha-os-wave!

really????? when they were booked for Powerfest they had zero buzz around them.

Nice to see some new blood being added. Should be very interesting to see who is booked.

 

[i am fabio]

I'll take a stab at it:

Blind Guardian
Cynic
Falconer
Mind's Eye
Fairyland
Vangough


Nevermore
Masterplan
Seventh Wonder
Dragonland
Division By Zero
Killing Touch

I have all of those reactions every year.
