They should both be aware of the truthiness of the following statement:
Prog >>> Doom
Assuming Otep & Papa Roach aren't headling Chicago PowerOzzFest next year, we'll have a chance to get together.

If Glenn goes with a folk, doom, and traditional fest they'd probably show up
I'd call it "Hell Freezes Over" Fest.

However, if you called it that, it would give you a legitimate excuse to book The Eagles.

OK, Here goes my picks for next year:
US Debuts: Fairyland, Stream of Passion, Magica, Power Quest, Tomorrow's Eve, Delain, Dark Moor, Amoral feat Ari Koivunen
Other Three: Domenici, Dream Evil, and LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT (Friday Headliner)
Returns: The ONLY North American appearance of THERION, with their FULL European setup, with a string section from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. (Saturday Headliner)

You mean that you would not want to have an intimate show with Petrucci and Portnoy? Even with no vocals?

isn't there any desire/significance/priority to try and have Andre Matos? I would hope/think there would be.
As I have commented previously, negotiations for 2010 were already well on their way before the visa situation came up. I could not pull existing offers off the table. That's professional suicide.
Andre, Tommorow's Eve, and Power Quest are not eligible until 2011 as a result.

Don't get me wrong... I'd pay to see LTE. However, I just can't see them being booked as a headliner for this fest.
Glenn... although it might be perceived as tipping your hand a bit, do you feel that you owe these bands an invite back? Granted, the visa issue wasn't your fault and I'd bet very few promoters dot as many "I"s and cross as many "T"s, but none the less, do you feel you owe them an invite?
Zod
Absolutely.
However, the realistic answer is that things do change over time and it will depend on both the festival and band status at the time. It may be all in the same year, spread out over a few years, or not at all. I cannot predict the popularity of a band 2-3 years ahead of time so I cannot commit automatically. I'd like to think they all were still kicking ass and deserving of a slot. I also cannot predict the budget of the festival that far in advance.
Regardless of how much it sucks, you have to do what is best for the health of the festival.

I say it's going to be BLIND GUARDIAN, there new album comes out next year, so it would be a perfect fit. Second choice would be SILENT FORCE.
