Well, it has been a few days since a poll was posted, so i thought( i know don't go thinking J-Man you might collapse) why not really find out about Pretty Maids. I have always liked this band in fact I love their song "Enter Forevermore". So what are your thoughts.
Would you like to see PRETTY MAIDS at ProgPowerVIII

John, I don't know much about this band, but I wouldn't mind seeing them play PP at all. They've had a good, long career, so they deserve some recognition for sure.
Hey, John! I must admit I've yet to hear Pretty Maids, but that's one thing I like about this board - so many mentions of so many kick ass bands I've not been exposed to before. So, I'll go see what I can dig up on them and get back to you.

Get working on that Todd! Pretty Maids can't write a bad song.

Another highly underrated band. I've been a fan since Lethal Heroes. Like Riot, they keep putting out consistently good albums. I've definitely welcome Pretty Maids.
However, I'd bet that Glenn is very wary of bringing in too many "older" bands that were around in the 80's, so I don't know if we'll see them.

Yep...been a fan of this band since l picked up Future World way back when (88' ?). l heard "Rodeo" and had to find out about this group immediately. They wander back & forth from power to melodic. Always churn out tight material. Helluva a back catalog full of great stuff. Just right for PP.

You guys know me well enough to know that I'd never EVER push for any particular band to show up at PP.
Oh, and by the way, the new cd is absolutely KILLER!!!!!!!! "Why Die For A Lie" is just a shredder of a song and can I just say that this fucking band seems to do no wrong??!??!?! This isn't your typical "Classic" band. The Maids are worthy of this show and then some.
I'm tellin' you all now....this would be the "shocker" of the show just like Freak Kitchen and Therion were.

I have to pose this question:
How can a band that's been active for about 14 years and has received video play on MTV in the past be "unfamiliar" to the people on this board? Now I know there are a million bands out there to hear, but we're talking about 20+ years, 15+ albums, headliner status all over Europe and yet people don't know enough about them to cast a vote appropriately? What gives? We're not talking about some upstart band from the Ukraine here, we're talking about a band that has spearheaded metal for over 2 decades!!!
We can have 300 posts about Into Eternity and yet have someone vote "I'm not familiar with THe Pretty Maids"? C'mon, for christ's sake. Search the internet once in a while! If you feel like voting, check out something by the band and give a thumbs up or thumbs down at least!

Finding Pretty Maids fans is as hard as finding other people who have read The DArk Tower. They're a cult band, a big one but still a cult band. And they're fucking awesome.

IMO,I'd rather have these guys then VS,
Only have 2 of their CDs,Future World(love the guitar lick in the title track) and Lethal Heros
But Like VS,they kinda peaked in the late 80's early 90's,when they were just a cult band and kinda faded before the advent of the internet(and Bands like Blind Guardian,Conception,Angra became the new"pretty girls" on the block as they say)
I say hell yeah,bring them
but unfortunately,having them any higher than a 2 slot would probably destroy the flow of the show
IMO<they might be a better option for the pre show,as they would get a longer set
