Hope they leave the Moonshine/Wildcat alone, though--that stuff is hideous!

Darn it....I love Angra....I wish I could have been there....Nightmare1z wrote:Yeah, I'm going tonight. Yesterday was alright for the first day of PP, but this is my fourth one and it's probably been my least favorite opening night.
Was Manticora, Circus Maximus, Orphaned Land, Conception, and Angra.
Conception and Angra were incredible.
Really looking forward to Stratovarius - picked up the new album at the vendors last night - and United rocks. Can't wait for that one
I bet they will.browneyedgirl wrote:Stratovarius is the very last band performing tonight-- at 11:30pm(10:30pm where I'm at). Hope they do a great job&show all those Progs who's the Boss!

I thought their set was actually a very good combo of new and old. I really liked the new stuff. TT looked bored to me and actually I found him to be quite annoying. Not that I am surprised. The new bass player was outstanding and Kotieplto sang really well. He actually looked liked he was into it. It was hard for them to follow Therion. Therion was definitely the surprise hit of progPower. I am going to see Strat again on Wednesday in NY and I would predict that they will be more comfortable there.
One very annoying thing was the fact that they cancelled their signing appearance. They were the only band to do this.
I'll see you there.frohicke63 wrote:I am going to see Strat again on Wednesday in NY and I would predict that they will be more comfortable there.
Who are you? We must know each other or at least saw each other because I was under his feet most of the time too as you can tell by this picture.frohicke63 wrote:I was there right up front. Right under Kotipelto's feet

If this you said really is the truth, I´d guess there´s no need to concern anything.AMBR@BEC wrote: As for the signing session, the band knew nothing about it when I talked to them around noon. When I showed them they were scheduled for 5:00, they were surprised and said they had already other plans for that time.
Hey, I was right there with you when that all happened! I was about to post that the band had no clue about the signing session and it was never in their itinerary, but you beat me to it.AMBR@BEC wrote: As for the signing session, the band knew nothing about it when I talked to them around noon.

He used that shirt in the Monterrey Gig, looks awesome btwbrowneyedgirl wrote:It is wonderful to see TT so happy, and I LOVE his shirt! Is it Celtic Crosses all over??!
Is THAT shirt available at StratoShop or did he have it specially designed?![]()
I got the dirt straight from the horse's mouth on this one. After the Jaxx show in Springfield, I got to speak with Timo K. at great length at the bar and I did ask him about that. It appeared to be a fuck-up on the part of the festival organizers, not the band. (EDIT: It seemed the problem occured with the band's promotion manager forgetting to tell the band) He flat out told me that nobody informed them about the signing. They only found out about it, but it was too late. Believe me, they did want to be there and do the signings, and they did feel bad about missing it. It was just purely a mis-communication - somebody dropped the ball on that one - but it was not the band that dropped it.frohicke63 wrote: One very annoying thing was the fact that they cancelled their signing appearance.

he does wear some pretty neat shirts! but i think some of the sponsors give them directly...SkiBumMSP wrote: And to add: Timo K. also wore that same pants and shirt at the Jaxx show. Damn, I wish I'd thought of it at the time, but I should've asked him where he got that shirt while I was chatting with him in the bar.

It is true that it is not the band's fault regarding the signing session cancellation. However, the reason the band gave you is total bullshit and they probably aren't aware of it either.
I sent the itinerary to their tour manager over six weeks in advance. I have the email confirmation where he read it and understood. However, he simply "forgot." I pointed it out to him that afternoon and got "sorry."
Blame Strat's tour tour manager, not me.

That's so easy to say... seems to me the lesson is "don't announce things when they have not been confirmed."PPUSA Promoter wrote: It is true that it is not the band's fault regarding the signing session cancellation.
