Savatage 25th Anniversary!! YES!! It's finally going to happen. There's going to be some kind of all star line-up bringing back all former members from what I've heard, a live DVD- the works. Unfortunately it's going to be the last bang for the guys according to Oliva who is content with his new ban...

Cripoes, I can't wait to see this one, been waiting for months.

First Kamelot show, so psyched!!

Not crazy about these guys although I respect the talent- outstanding players.

The songs leave me kind of bored- Alive in Athens was just dull to me.

For powermetal my fav is Zandelle- better songs, more singalong and too the point.

I also love Ripper, Beyond Fear is a mod band with a great vibe.

If you want that title, you are WELCOME to it, lol.

:p

You are far below me in the ranks of stupidity my friend.

btw- I just read on Portnoy's board that james Labrie will be singing on John Macaluso's new CD.

After hearing ARK I can't even imagine how good this match-up will be.

:p

I am SOOOO sorry!!

I got home a little drunk from the show and poted that without reading the title!!

Complete idiocy, please forgive!!

Just caught the last show on the Spread Eagle tour at Don Hill's in NYC. Unbelievable! I didn't know what to expect but boy did this band deliver. 2 of my fav players onstage at the same time, very cool. Johnnymac's drum solo was one of the best I have ever seen. Anyone else catch shows on this tour?

They are unbelievable live, seen them several times.

Wish they still did Battle Angels (sp?) old Sanctuary tune.

Is more what I'm looking for, live interviews, more of a home grown feel.

Great suggestions though, keep 'em coming!

Internet Radio Stations?

Does anyone know of any good prog-metal internet radio stations?

I know Seismic was good for a while and I just found Metal Massacre which is a lot of fun.

Wondering what else is out there and what the links are?

meh.

There's no justifying downloading songs against the musicians will without paying for it.

Still recovering from this one, lol.

The guitar playing was phenominal at this show.

The guys from Operatica and Until Destiny BLAZED.

Haven't seen this kind of playing since the 80's.

Excellent night.

\m/

It's TRUE! I love talking about bands and their shows. I grew up with 4 older brothers and they all played in a variety of groups. I definitely got hooked at a young age and it's kind of nostalgic for me to get excited about going to gigs again. Haven't been out of the house socially for a few years...

This looks cool!!

Frank from Metal Injection is playing, excellent drummer.

Ton of cool bands, can't wait to see Operatica!

Anyone else going?

There is nothing about this band that DOESN'T irritate me.

:p

I could care less how he LOOKS what's up with the country accent?

Oy.

Now they want to be a comedy act.

There's a reason there's only ONE mic on stage boys!!

I still don't see how 2 threads constitutes a flood.

I was on the Metal maniacs board about 5 years ago, now thoses trolls knew what they were doing.

I'm calm.

Serenity NOW.

Da, Ja, Si, I meant PLEASE. How is passionate discourse spamming? How is mistakenly starting 2 threads on the same band a "flood"? Sounds like you guys have had some dopes hear in the past. I feel your pain. However, if I AM a spammer and a Troll (and I assure you I am not) poking me and accusing me...

Eine bier bitter!!

I know English probably isn't your first language but what?

You got what I'm about?

Explain!

:p

Wah!

Did you sit on something wet?

:p

I'm still HERE! I know what you are saying about a ton of topics that go nowhere but if no one responded to something like this it would disappear under he weight of it's own irrelevance. Continuing to post in it and going off topic within it only keep it alive on the front page longer than it deser...

I absolutely LOVE this video, excellent, heavy and emotional!!

Sorry, I'm a little over-zealous. I ran across that video yesterday, been a big fan for a while and never got to see any footage before. I love the fact that the singer just stands there with his arms at his sides and lets it all just pour out of him without performing the song really, just screamin...

Beh...

Aha!!

Look wht I found on another board-

Who drummed on the Ark stuff?

It's phenomenal.

They are AMAZING live, very fun and heavy.
