Saturday Headliner Announcement:
- Thread starter Harvester
- Start date

On one hand, I'm freaking excited to potentially hear Jorn, Masterplan and Ark stuff. On the other, there's sooooo much material that I'll have to learn to appreciate the set. Is the band playing with him all capable? I know Jorn is, but can the others do some of the tougher stuff? Or is that his actual band?
Okay guys, when I saw the news release, I was exicted! the replacement for nevermore (a band I'm not terribly fond of)... and it's!! IT'S!!!
uh, who?
Jorn?
Who??!!
So, now I need my metal brother's (and sista's) help! This man seems to have a vast catalogue, and I obviously want to at least be familiar with his stuff before the concert.
What should I get. If I were to get, say, 3 or 4 albums to get familiar with him and his stuff, I need RECOMMENDATIONS!

Jorn Viggo Lofstadt is his guitarist for the show. He's from Pagan's Mind and is more than capable of pulling off anything Lande has ever done.Megawozniak said:
Jonrpatrick ... I think a good start might be the Masterplan debut, and maybe Ark's Burn The Sun. I think both of those discs are among the best he's been involved with. He's got a new solo coming out in the next month or so called "The Duke". You'd think he might play a track or two from that one.

I don't think that's a situation where they can't play something, I think it's usually that they don't want to, or, if someone else holds the copyright, they might have a pay a fee for use. But I've only really ever heard people say that in cases where band members left a band acrimoniously, and they want to play that old stuff with their new band, and the songwriter from the original band might still be pissed off at him. But I can't imagine that every cover band playing to 6 people in a bar is sending checks to Van Halen or Aerosmith or Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath after every show... and I doubt the guy from Mundanus Imperium is going to be shaking down Jorn Lande after ProgPower... :Spin:

Great job Glenn. I think not only does it show Jorn's enthusiasm for the show, but it shows how much of an A+ festival this truly is. I was telling a buddy of mine the other night that it would just be awesome if as soon as the new was leaked that Nevermore was gone, that some band of stature would just call you out of the blue and say "we'll do it". I don't know if that's what happened with Jorn, but it sounds like he's a class act for stepping up on such short notice.
Now, getting Russell Allen there to do Allen/Lande stuff... consider my pants shat if it happens. I'd sponsor that if I could.

Excellent replacement Glenn! I really hope we hear some Masterplan, especially from the killer album: Aeronautics...

Once a piece of music is published, ANYONE can play it live - there is never an instance where you cannot perform/cover a piece of music if you want to. All clubs are required to have licences with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC which pay artists based on how much their material is performed (include live, radio broadcasts, internet webcast, etc). But it is the responsibility of the club to have these licenses. Aritst can play whatever they want to play - Jorn could come out and do an all Beatles set list and it would be fine. So anything he wants to play from past musical projects, or even ones he was never involved in, is up for grabs

SyXified is correct. The only time it's not permitted is when the performance is being recorded.

It's my job to know these things..
So tell me... of all his projects, what you guys think Jorn is likely to play the most from? Ark, maybe? Besides his solo stuff... Ooooh I'm so Jorn-illiterate!
I must Prøve the veal!

This is the truth. Jorn Viggo can play with the best in the world, and he's probably up there with Tore Ostby as the best player Jorn Lande has been associated with. He's my new favorite guitar player at the fest, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him play.
Hmm, this one surprised me.
This one could have the RAGE effect in my opinion, where their catalogue is just so vast and long (and not necessarily sounding the same), people won't put the effort into getting ready to know the set.
Plus he's the last band, thus it could mean lots leaving early.
This forum knows who Jorn is, but there's a huge % of PP people that don't go on these forums. I know his Masterplan projects, and Brazen Abbot and his Nostradameus project - but with him playing a catalogue from all his stuff - I just didn't get excited about the announcement.
Still, I'm sure others will differ and I thanks Glenn for throwing a surprise there.
However, with even a band like Stratovarius playing and people still leaving early, I really see this being another Rage performace (and I loved Rage).

I thought we were going with someone who hasn't been here before and was a "risk"?? THIS is not any risk that I can see with what I've seen around these parts. Controversial? Ah, no. As I recall, ARK only went over moderately well back in the day so what's this going to accomplish? This was as safe a bet as you could have with this crew. Thanks for putting together an overall great show, but "BOOOOO!" for the hype of something new.

I think Nightmare's post right above you answered your question for the most part. It was indeed a safe bet for the hardcores, but the just how much of my audience is hardcore? How many come for the big name headliner alone? '
This is the year when we find out as I catered specifically to this forum for a representation.

'twill definitely be interesting to see what happens come September... I, for one, probably couldn't have picked someone myself that I would be much happier about, and I'm really stoked for my buddy, KimK, who practically squealed when I called her with the news.
I think people forget sometimes (myself included) that this forum actually represents the *minority* of ProgPower attendees.
