... is that we have 14 bands who's songs I'm trying to memorize... so I can recognize and follow along as they play. I've been listening to nothing but Prog Power bands like Evergrey, Jorn, and Mercenary lately. I have the new Iron Maiden but I haven't listened to it because I'm afraid I'm going to like it so much, I'll stop doing my homework for the concert.
I'm one of those freaks that likes to know every song by the band as they play it. I hate when a kick ass song comes on from one of my favorite bands... and I'm spending 5 minutes at war in my head trying to determine which song they are playing. Last year at Prog Power, the band I was most thrilled about seeing was Angra and I knew every song instantaneously until they whipped out "Never Understand." I was like... this is a freakin' awesome song, and I can't recognize it.
This year I may as well give up though, because every band with the exception of Evergrey and maybe Pyramaze is going to have plenty stuff I won't know. I'll probably know all of Vision Divine's set too, but only because they, sadly, probably won't touch the Fabio material. And I probably won't know all of Epica's songs... as I simply cannot get into their debut album at all.
I've been listening to the new Mercenary non-stop lately, mostly because I think it's one of the best albums of '06, but maybe I shouldn't be. Maybe Mercenary won't play a single song from this album... since it's too new. Which would really suck... because I will absolutely NEED to hear songs like "Soul Decision" and "Lost Reality."
