Wrong comment. Sabaton completely smoke. I just came back from ProgPower USA and they wrecked the joint. \mmmmmm/
I've been trying to find band times on the net and have been unsuccessful.
I know Warbringer was added. So, is it 7 bands now or did someone drop out???????
Yes Dan Nelson played a few live shows..one notable Thrash Domination Japan Aug 15 2008...the classic Anthrax line up would have beeen killer except Charlie wasn't with the band when they hit Vancouver twice 2012!!! Testament is awesome live..seen them 5 times..Megadeth seen them 4 times Overkill 3 times..Sabaton 1 time..my friends in Warbringer going to be 8 times in Nov 11!! it's 2 seperate stages so you need to choose!!! took this picture off of Warbringers FB page!
Shit!!
Sabaton is off the bill?? What a f*****g downer!
My 2 sons are going to be pissed! So is their old man.

GOD I HOPE SO!
They deserve to be seen by a few thousand people. Their show is HIGH energy...and Joakim has a VERY COOL voice IMO.
Solid meat and potatoes power metal band.
i've seen them when Blackguard opened up for them and they were more like priest style but heavier!!

I guess they assume Heshers don't have jobs.
Shouldn't a concert in the middle of nowhere that many people have to drive 1-2 hours to that starts at 3 PM be on Saturday?
Anyway, I am pumped! As long as I make it for Megadeth I'm good!

Awesome show!! Had a great time there! And we got to see our little Michael tearing it up on keys for Seventh Son too.
Here's a nice review of the show (LA Times):

My Review of the Venue in the Middle of Nowhere:
I assume every meth lab closed down for the evening, since they seemed to all be attending this event.
Megadeth!
Excellent opener. Great great show! They played Tornado of Souls and Holy Wars, but I wish they played Rust in Peace... Polaris too. I consider Dave Mustaine a true brilliant artist and it was great to have his band open up for Maiden.
Iron Maiden:
Bruce's singing was the best in years! He was totally going off! At times I couldn't believe the notes he was hitting. He was great last time, but I got concerned he may be going downhill, but this time was even better and it looks like he's going uphill!
Afraid to Shoot Strangers that night was one of the best things I've ever seen. Before the song Bruce said, "If you watch the news, which I don't, because it's all bad, you know what's going on. This song happens to be relevant to what's going on now."
That's the best to my memory. Bruce gave a stellar performance of it like he was on a Broadway show with so much emotion. Look for a video of it if you weren't there. Blew me away. The song is about a soldier on a battlefield hesitant to shoot his enemy as he sees he's just like him, but then I thought, that's like America as a nation is scared to shoot Syrians because they see we are just like them. It took the song to a whole new level.
The band was precision, but the sound was not right to me. I hate being such a perfectionist, and I really wish I wasn't, but I can't help it. It was too loud and unclear when Bruce would sing loud. It sounded almost like a blown speaker. Imagine you have a crappy stereo system, and when you turn it too loud it gets distorted. That is what the show sounded like to me at least some of the time. I don't think the band knew, as their monitors were probably good, but I don't understand why the sound engineers allowed this. It seemed like as simple problem to fix, but it never got fixed. It was frustrating me. If the sound was better, it may have been one of the best Maiden shows I've ever seen.
