why sad face BTBAM & Scale?

the only reason i would give a sad face to BTBAM .. is because they won't have a long enough set time.

If Iron Maiden did it, they would pander to the Run to the Hills crowd...and they've played most of those songs for years. First time I saw Iron Maiden in 1987 they played 5 songs from that album (which I love). I'd like to see Somewhere in Time played all the way through. Something different. They did play A Matter of Life & Death complete.

Speaking of

Iron Maiden complete 8 new songs.

I hope this time around they change up their formula a bit...

I've just never really gotten into those bands. Don't know why, oh well, I guess I'll buy some vastly overpriced merch while they are playing. BTBAM is the headliner so they most likely will have the longest set anyways.

Bingo! 9 out of 10 songs started that way on the last album.

[Psychonaut]

That. Is. Hateful.

[Psychonaut]

Think I'm gonna go. I saw Evergrey in a setting like this with like 15 people and it was awesome.

[Icedburden]

I've always wanted to see Evergrey, I have one of their concerts on DVD and it kicks ass. Yet, no one comes around Baltimore . Ah well, I saw him with Yngwie. Hope you enjoy the show.

[Psychonaut]

Evergrey came through with Children of Bodom and Iced Earth. I saw the acoustic set early in the day then the regular show that night. Was an awesome day.

I would love to see Evergrey too. They are a top band. I hear your pain about no one coming to where you live, I have the same problem. I always have to travel to Glasgow. Had to do over a 1000 mile round trip to see King Diamond but have to say, it was worth it. He put on a great show.

[Psychonaut]

The King is always worth it. He needs to get back to the States.

He needs to get a new album out. Would love a new Mercyful Fate album too. Can't believe its been over 10 years since 9

[Psychonaut]

He's got the DVD coming, I thought. LP remasters just came out as well. Better some activity than none at all I guess. We gotta take what we can get

Michael Kiske news-
A new band is about to enter the rock world: UNISONIC marks the fusion of
exceptional vocalist Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween) with Dennis Ward (bass)
and Kosta Zafiriou (drums) of Germany´s Pink Cream 69. Swiss guitarist Mandy
Meyer who is known for his work with Asia, Gotthard and Krokus completes the
line-up.

UNISONIC features Michael Kiske joining a real band situation for the first
time in almost 16 years: Since his departure from Helloween in late 1993, he
participated in various projects and released several solo albums. In the
project Place Vendome four years ago he not only recorded with Ward and
Zafiriou, he found two musical soul mates as well. After the sequel album of
PV, the trio decided to join forces for a new band. Dennis Ward, who had
previously produced a record for Krokus, suggested Mandy Meyer as the
perfect addition for the vacant job on the guitar.

Sharing the vision of a rock band free from any musical corsets, the
foursome already started writing songs for their debut album, which is
scheduled for release in late spring of 2010.

Michael Kiske, one of the finest and most unique voices in contemporary rock
music, explains his motivation of becoming a part of a band again:

"Since the Place Vendome-productions I was impressed by Dennis Ward's skills
as a songwriter and producer. We were occasionally fooling around since then
via email that we should do more together in the future, so the idea came up
to do a new band. I was generally getting a bit tired of doing everything on
my own for so many years, so it just felt like the right thing to do now. We
can all only benefit from working together. No matter how good you are solo,
four people will always be better than one I think, if they manage to
function together. And a real band is also a very good reason to finally go
on tour again - after 17 years I can´t wait to get back on stage and have
some fun with the band and the fans!"

In summer 2010, UNISONIC will hit the festival stages all over Europe,
further territories will follow the rest of the year, so watch out for dates
in your area!

!

I wish Kiske would get some sense into his damn brain and go back to what made him special and use his ridiculous range for some metal. I know he's been a part of different projects but I want some Future World.

Devildriver is an ok band. But it's kind of odd he wants his kid to see how 'bleak' the world is.
