the best band to play next year?

[Harvester]

I'm sure both headliners are going to be substantially better than what we've got so far.

It's good to know I can always count on you to piss on the parade is some shape or fashion. :Smug:

 

[7thSaviour]

Iron Savior is going to blow the roof off the place for the Power fans, and Riverside should do the same for the Prog fans.

Amen!

 

[Claus / Intromental]

I think this is where I mention an Intromental band

That would suit you really fine if you did

I sat through the presentation Saturday night saying

-"WHO?!"
-"WHO?!"
-"Oh, cool S.U.E.!"
-"WHO?!"
-"Ah, Andromeda"
-"WHO?!"
-"WHO?!"
-"Heard of Iron Savior...crowd sure liked that announcement but I know nothing"
-"RIVERSIDE -- YESSS!!!"
-"JOP - Cool"

Ehmm ... then you saw more of the presentation than I did.

Sooooooo that being said I am so far most excited to see Pathosray (their clip on the video Sat. night got me very interested) and Volbeat. It's going to be a GOOD year.

I of course am most excited to see Pathosray, since it's the only of the Intromental bands I haven't seen myself yet.

VolBeat are awesome live - they'll tear down the roof!

Oh, I love your festival and lay tons of money on it(except for VII, which to be honest I did spend a lot of time bitching about). The headliners will be better because the headliners are always the best bands, IMO. Otherwise they wouldn't be headliners.

And for the record, I was 100% wrong about After Forever, which was my designated bitching last year. I loved the performance.

And I didn't bitch at all about V and VI, which ruled in every possible way.

 

[7thSaviour]

When they announced IS was playing the festival, I very nearly lost my mind with joy!

 

[Greykiller]

IMHO....Volbeat is gonna burn the place down and then some
i just love the mix of metal and 50's rock....punk also
we should thank Glenn everyday for getting these guys on the roster



cheers
charlie

now lets hope for a Dio headlining spot

Just listened to Rock the Rebel and gotta say these people are gonna scorch the audience next fall. I may need to duck after saying this but the band reminds me a bit of System of a Down--say what you will about the latter band but the energy of both groups is undeniable.

Guess I will need to pick up the other album I saw on Amazon.

 

[Dustro25]

Serenity is kicking my ass right now. Riverside will be tough to beat...unless Helloween and Gamma Ray get announced!!!!

If that happens, it will then turn into my most favorite PPUSA EVER!

 

[Perditions Ghost]

Elvenking, Iron Savior, and Jon Oliva's Pain as it currently stands.

However, still waiting for the headliners before I make any decisive choices, though Elvenking is one of my favorites...

 

[Mustang]

Well this probably isnt an option But I'd love to see Kamelot or Rob Rock take the stage.

Also Strange Land Their new vocals are amazing.

 

[PurpleCrayonWriter]

I don't know about the "best" band to play at IX. But I will say I'm probably looking forward to Elvenking most of all. I've recently discovered the odd genre known as "folk metal" and I've really liked it. So Elvenking, to me, represents a completely new kind of musical genre that I'm very much looking forward to experiencing.

That said, I am also most keen to see (in this order):

Riverside (these guys blow me away)
Pathosray (a great new band)
Astral Doors (killer riffs)
Volbeat (another new genre)
Spheric Universe Experience (wow)

See? I could go on and on.

So..."best"? I don't see there being a best. But bands I'm very eager to see I noted above.

If you like Elvenking, listen to Falconer. Its a better version of the same style

Folk metal! I LOVE Falconer. I am interested in hearing Elvenking, though.
