While Heave Wept Cancels Midweek Mayhem

[SF Metal Man]

Sucks for the band and the folks who were looking forward to them. However, Glenn and Milt have a track record of turning cancellations into opportunities. Curious to see who the replacement is. My guess is Avantasia with Andrew WK handling all vocal duties.

I was thinking Paul Di'Anno.

Hey Milton a great replacement would be ASKA from Dallas Texas, lots of people know them and their work. Ask Zod.

i can cosign on this - LOVE me some ASKA

back to the thread topic - this is a bummer, for sure. i hope all goes well for the WHW folks and that we get them back again soon.

and here's to Milton for pulling a surprise out of his bag of tricks, i'm certain

I had a funny feeling this was going to happen. I saw Brave this past Saturday (Trevor and Michelle Schrotz are in both Brave and WHW). I talked to Michelle briefly about their upcoming WHW show at ProgPower and she had said they had not practiced in several months. I found that surprising at the time, but now that I know more to the story it makes sense.

I fully understand that family comes first and hope to see them again in the future.

 

[Diamond45]

Thanks Justin. That's exactly why I am not adding either Borealis or Oceans of Slumber. I want this to be different than the tour.

Darn! I was hoping for either or both of those bands simply because they are touring prior to the Wednesday show. I hope to see them in Richmond, VA a couple of days prior though.

For what it's worth, I often ask bands who don't tour with great frequency how they prepare for shows. NO ONE has ever said they need more than 5 days to practice for a tour / festival.

ORCHID

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

JAG PANZER would be a nice addition to an eclectic lineup. Also, it would be awesome to see Joey Tafolla.

I'm on board with an Andrew WK set.

 

[Aussie_Metalchild]

A real bummer indeed but I'm still incredibly excited for this show. My first midweek mayhem and it will also be the first metal show I will have ever attended in the U.S. (hopefully the first of many). It's going to be a killer night!

 

[Yippee38]

This is a bummer because I was looking forward to this set. I am happy for those band members though. Good for them! I'm sure it will be a good show anyway.

Move to Dallas.. you'll get all of the ASKA you can stand.

if it weren't Dallas...

Milton already knows what I'm pushing for as a suitable replacement.

 

[Exploding Ned]

Great band WHW. Amazing set they played a few years back. Hopefully they can get things cleared up sooner than later. As for mid-week, personally I'm a less-is-more kinda guy, so it wouldn't bother me a bit if the slot wasn't filled. Just my 37 cents worth that's all.

 

[Justin G]

Is Watchtower still active? Because that could rule.

I thought no since Alan Tecchio left the band again in 2010, but honestly who knows with this band. they haven't put out any new material since what 1989??

And I'm like "whatever,I trust in Milton"
