Cool!! I am going to see Chris Salinas this Sat, night in a Queensryche cover band "Mindcrime".
Cool! I do know the drummer (Craig LeMay) from Mindcrime myself (at least we talked at length on-line a little while ago - wonder if he'll be at ProgPower, like to finally meet him face-to-face.)
I am bummed about Wastefall having to bail myself as I was getting into them, but at the same time, this Zero Hour does sound kick-ass. I went and downloaded an MP3 file off thier website, as I've never heard any of thier material before. Either way, it is so awesome to check out new (to me) bands and to get. I've been listening to metal for only God knows how long, and it is amazing how many more bands I still find that I've never heard about before, especially thanks to things like this forum and the ProgPower festival.
I cannot friggan wait!
As for Nevermore, well, I did get to see them at Jaxx with Evergrey. Yeah, it was awesome, so I already got to see what would've been the two headliner acts anyway. For me, I am more excited about Jorn than Nevermore, so, like many others, this may actually be quite the blessing in disguis. Pain in the ass for Glenn to deal with all the hassles and last-minute running around (and believe me, we are very much appreciated for this - I can only imagine what it has to take to put something like this together and to pull it off as successfully has it has been), but in the end, it sounds like we may just end up with a stronger line-up than what was originally intended.
Okay, now if Evergrey decided they could not make it and Sonata Arctica stepped in (just kidding

)
