Shane, Showcase update?

[Tarathur]

Kamelot would be even better

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Or Wig Wam!

I've enjoyed the occasional acoustic thing, like Orphaned Land's, but basically I'm with you on that. zzzzz Crank up the amps!

Someone mentioned the Poodles earlier. Been really getting in to them lately. Would be nice to see them at PP on any night.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Elvenking's idea of "acoustic" ... really.. isn't. TTP was supposed to be an acoustic album, but when you release songs like "Not My Final Song", you might be missing the mark.

Anyway, open your mind to new things!

Actually, I do plan on buying that album. I'm open to tons of stuff, but I fucking, fucking, fucking hate acoustic shows to hell! Just my opinion.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

PRIMAL FEAR
Threshold
Helstar
Suspyre

Works for me.

 

[Gunstar9]

Aghora and Dark Empire are on my dream list.

 

[OrbWeaver]

I have no guesses as to who might be playing the kickoff show.

I know who I would hope for, but I'm not holding my breath. However, I can't wait to see who is announced!

 

[CAlexanderParra]

Pretty exciting. There's a lot of great possibility!

 

[Chai]

Kamelot would be even better

While that would be freaking awesome, I don't think it likely, unless it coincided with a 16th Ghost Opera tour or something (easily one of my favorite bands, but how many times can you tour a CD before doing something else). I hesitate to post my true desire for the showcase bands, as I would hate for the announcement to RAIN on my parade. Stuff like that happens all the TIME.

 

[Mooseknuckle]

Eyefear, please....

 

[7thSaviour]

Avian
Falconer
Voodoo Circle
Iron Fire
Leaves' Eyes
Midnattsol
Edenbridge
Into Eternity
Serenity
Shadow Matter
Halcyon Way

 

[7thSaviour]

PRIMAL FEAR
Threshold
Helstar
Suspyre

Works for me.

Hail brother!

 

[7thSaviour]

I bet Midnight is free to put on a show ...

Mooooostasch

Everyone who wants "Riff Ralf" back in Atlanta clap your hands...

+1...that would make some sense and kick some ass! I loved their set down there last year! It was a total surprise to me.

~Brian~

 

[KingsGene]

Would really love to see Seventh Wonder...an amazing up and coming band.

As for returnees, Primal Fear would kick all sorts of ass....especially since they have new product coming out. Always hope for Vanden Plas, but....doubtful.

 

[DarkOne]

I wondered how long it would take for this thread to degenerate into "everyone list their favorite bands".

Steve in Philly

 

[Palabra de Dios]

I would not at all be surprised to see Vanden Plas play the showcase.

 

[OrbWeaver]

I thought they couldn't get back into the country for a few years?

 

[GoRillaBoy76]

I dont know if they are allowed back at PP, but another Freak Kitchen set would be fun.

And Primal Fear would diffenitly be worth taking another day off work for.

 

[Pellaz]

Primal Fear
Vanden Plas
MindFlow
Suspyre

(however, I'd love to see Orphaned Land acoustic in some form this year, too....)

 

[nailz]

Avian
Falconer
Voodoo Circle
Iron Fire
Leaves' Eyes
Midnattsol
Edenbridge
Into Eternity
Serenity
Shadow Matter
Halcyon Way

Cool, a list of bands!
