Previous Chicago Metalfests?

[Jasonic]

So, what were the line-ups for the previous Chicago Metalfests?

I recall some of them, but just curious to see what the actual roster was for each.

Thanks!

Talamasca should get back together. Everytime I get into a great prog metal band they break up. Rob and Chris give me like 3 or 4 new favorite bands every year after these festivals, haha it's great!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

Division was invited but couldn't make it... Talamasca played the first one in their place, and Steve Gentz's vocals tore the roof off!

Cool, thanks. I didn't know there was one in 2000.

And yes, I meant POWERFEST, not METALFEST.

 

[Chris Lotesto]

Let's not forget CPF '99:

Slayer
Fight
Testament
Fates Warning
Doctor Butcher
In Flames

Nice one, Rob...DOH!

 

[GateXII]

Doh...sorry! Shit! I can barely remember what happened the other day, much less 6 years ago.

I thought something didn't seem right about that lineup...I thought I remembered Talamasca playing twice, but then wasn't sure because I know Andy's played with Ion Vein & the other members came down for the fest, so that threw me off.

Hey Chris, can you ask Nick to add the previous line-ups to the website? Thanks!
