Screw caution...

Woooohoooooo bring on Van Canto

yeesh.

However, imo the ones that get called "oddball" are usually the ones that deserve to be there. They tend to blend styles. They tend to...you know...push music forward.

Progressive in the truest sense of the word.
 
High slot means either longevity or established cred or both...what I wouldn't give to see the all mighty TIAMAT!!! Although, let the record show, I would be stoked if it was MDB.

I could get on board with this. They are on my list of bands I'd like to see before I take my dirt nap.
 
You mean....VOIVOD?!? With Jason Newsted on da bass? Or, did Glenn decide to spend a little money and bring LOUDNESS, with GALNERYUS as the #2?:worship::worship::worship:
 
I was thinking oddball, not oldball.

:lol:


Since I've sometimes been tapped by Glenn as the de-facto "sponsor of the oddballs," I'm insanely curious as to who it is. :yow: :rock:



I'm regarding this as the Official First Cryptic Hints Post from Glenn regarding next year, BTW. Future installments will include such tidbits as

-- 2 of the bands will feature violins
-- none of the bands hails from Antarctica
-- 1 of the bands will feature a hurdy-gurdy
-- 12 of the bands will include a guitarist
-- 11 of the bands will feature a live drummer

etc.

:lol:

Also one band will have no guitars, no bass, and no keyboards, just 5 singers and a drummer.
 
Oh man, the possibilities. I'd love it if it were Eternal Tears of Sorrow or Madder Mortem. Barren Earth came to mind, but they don't have much material yet...

Ladies and Gentlemen ... from the Republic of Ireland ... Primordial !!! Yeah, right .. fat chance !!

I have another guess, that would be fucking fantastic.

The one and only Ihsahn.

Hoooooooly shit would that rule or what?

I would be all over this. :)

Another one I would love to see. I just don't see it happening. If it was gonna happen, I think it would've been this year since Leprous is on the pre-show. Plus, I hear his fee is pretty damn high.
