And those ladies and gents are my predications for next year, now lets see how many i get right as i only got two right this year.
NOCTURNAL RITES and BIOMECHANICAL!!!
Did you go to Powerfest 06? Both of the bands were there and they both pwned my ass!! I couldnt stay awake for the headlining band either night one being Eldritch and one being Morgana Lefay both I am heavily regretting.
Yes, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself!
I HOPE you at least saw Nocturnal Rites...Probably my favorite set of the weekend.....
Actually, no, I didn't go. Unfortunately between getting time off work and lack of financial feasibility I had to miss it. But, I LOVE both bands and want to see them badly!Did you go to Powerfest 06? Both of the bands were there and they both pwned my ass!!

I was doing a search for something in the UltimateMetal search que at the top, something totally unrelated to this thread and came across what i think is a deeply buried clue as to who one of the Headliners maybe for 2008. Then I started thinking hmmmmmmm and then found what i think is another clue to the other headliner. I am wondering if Glenn scatters these little choice tidbits all over the forum, just to see how alert we are.
2008 Possible Headliners
NIGHTWISH
SAVATAGE
Even though I'm breaking with tradition with the early roster announcement, I wanted to continue this one. My plan is the following:
*6 U.S. debuts
I'll go with Riverside, Mystic Prophecy, DGM, Labyrinth, Astral Doors, and Poverty's No Crime
*2 bands that have been to the States only once before (via tour or one-off)
Amorphis, and Nocturnal Rites
*2 returning bands.
Circus Maximus, and Nightwish
It think that would make for a hell of a lineup, but I couldn't come up with sure fire headliner types outside of Nightwish. With them on the bill I think there would be yet another sellout.

Wow, you've read my mind!! Specially for Riverside and Poverty's
