NAD CORNER:
The new kid's Top Ten (Eleven) of 2002 - get to it from features index. Worth a read considering much of it is atypical...!

Holy shit - are we on fire or what? OK, I think I'm going to watch some porn now.

Oh yeah, and look out for a new ad banner....

The DARKTHRONE review was very well-written, and the Wacken feature looks very cool so far. Good work here as always..!

 

[Demonspell]

The Symphony X and Kataklysm interviews were great reads, as usual...

 

[NAD]

Why are the Nile and Vader logos displayed so small on the damn Wacken flyer!??!!

VERY cool Wacken band profiles!!! Well done!!!

 

[JayKeeley]

Thanks yeah. That upload took the major part of the weekend, what with the new interview format as well.

I don't get why Nile has a small logo, and Victory has one of the biggest? And who the hell is Lotto King Karl???

I think the Symphony X interview could be one of the best interviews we've done. What did you think about the whole 'Jason Rullo getting married on September 5th' deal!? I remember that night Mark interviewed them, and they were genuinely surprised that they had been booked for ProgPower! :hotjump:

 

[Nate The Great]

Word up to Markgugs! His reviews have improved dramatically since the site started. The As I Lay Dying review was right on with my thoughts.

I finally got around to reading the SX interview. I simply had to laugh. When you book a band of the calibur of SX, you deal directly with their manager. Their manager confirmed their appearance in writing. I automatically assume that that a manager speaks to the band *before* confirming anything. That obviously wasn't the case here. Anyhow, I have spoken directly with Romeo, Rullo, and Russ since that all went down and everyone is happy and ready for the show.

P.S. Symphony X weren't even the last band confirmed.

I automatically assume that that a manager speaks to the band *before* confirming anything.

You would think! I guess wedding dates have been shifted then perhaps?

 

[dragonlady]

Thanks to all who've commented and stopped by the site. We're really proud of what we've got going here, though don't expect this pace to continue!
