Elara, there is supposed to be a new singer for Nightwish.
So your hopes of seeing them might just be on the horizon. |

*stab*
I want to see Dream Theater again! I saw them in LA like three years ago, just them. It was really cool. Blind Guardian would have also been awesome, but Dream Theater as a first is pretty bad ass. My first concert was Marilyn Manson back in 2001 with Godhead as the opening band. That was a great concert! The band I wish I could have seen in concert was Nightwish... fat chance of that now. |

IIRC, when I went everyone got a little more attention.
But three hours mean more time for that, 1 hour and a half when you've got 10 to 25 minutes long songs is  |

Yeah, that and most of their songs turn into a shredfest anyways. I felt bad for Myung (bassist) and Rudess (keyboardist) because they didn't get a lot of credit that night. LaBrie went up to Petrucci more than a few times and kind of signaled the crowd to compliment/cheer for him and everything while he solo'd, but he didn't do that for anyone else.
That was kind of disappointing too. Not everyone got to have their own extended solo but Petrucci that night. |

I'm jealous as hell for the Sonata Arctica tickets, but I just don't like Dream Theater all that much! I just can't stand listening to progressive metal, its too long and drawn out. Sure, I know how great they are, don't get me wrong, but damn... It just drains me!  |

Originally posted by Rainbow in the Dark Hmm, I don't think so. And I only got to see them play for about an hour and a half. |

I'm gonna buy Edguy and Sonata Arctica tickets probably tomorrow =D
EDIT: By the way, did they play "In The Presence of Enemies"? |
| Bitmap Posts: 4858/7838 |
Edguy eh? Now you both have me jealous.
Best thing I want to do right now is go to another concert like the one I saw in Flordia with Blind Guardian playing at the House of Blues. |

Saw them last year, and they were alone (so I guess that's cool, since you don't wait that much). How long was their set (I got 3 hours). They're playing here next week, but it's sold out and had no money when they weren't. But I'm still gonna go meet Mike before the show (he's doing a meet-and-greet kinda thing).
But I'm gonna go see Edguy next month, probably (been waiting forever for this) EDIT: And yeah, sometimes things can drag out alot (i.e Octavarium in intro (note: listening to this on acid might be bad)) |
| Xeoman Posts: 6564/11751 |
Oh I would!
And if they would play "Majesty" my pants would explode like a nuke. |

Xeo, If I, no wait, When I meet you. (there we go)
Im going to stab you. That is all. . . I saw BG live as well. And when "The Bard's song" playes. You better fucking sing along if you ever see them |

Can't believe I never made a thread about it or anything.
It was pretty awesome. The starting band Into Eternity (they claim to be progressive melodic death metal) was fucking awesome, I've never even heard of them but they were a perfect band to start the show. The vocalist was pretty awesome and when he screamed right, it was amazing (he varied his singing with both clean and growling vocals). Their attitude and everything was great too, I'm probably going to check out their albums. There was just something about their presence, they were laid back and just damn metal. The next band though ... Redemption, was pretty much the opposite of impressive. They were good at passing time ... I guess? It was almost embarassing listening to them before Dream Theater, because it felt like they just wanted to be another Dream Theater / Pagen's Mind. The vocalist was also downright terrible, his attitude, looks, and everything was just bad. After about the first three songs or so his voice was already shot and from then on it was just painful to hear. After checking up on the history though it seems their vocalist Ray Aldar, is the long time vocalist for Fates Warning. I went back listening to their stuff from the 80's and he was amazing, but it seems like his age caught up with him. And then the almighty Dream Theater, eh? At times I found myself yawning and sliding back into my chair, but at other times I was enjoying it. Their songs just drag on for too long and the encore of course goes on for 20+ minutes only to punch me right in the face and say "No, we're not going to play Pull Me Under or Metropolis". Their setup was great though, twice as big as the previous bands and Mike was awesome as always. In the end, I had a blast. It was at a theater though and more of a strict environment than most concerts though probably, there wasn't any moshing or anything. But like most people say, lots of old people were there. From preps to old bikers, the range of fans seemed almost endless. Sadly however, I look to my desk and see what was a Blind Guardian ticket. My friends and I originally planned on seeing them last November, but at the last minute they cancelled and went to ......... Mexico??? At least I got my money back, but fuck, Blind Guardian for a first concert would have been an amazing experience, even though I hardly care for their newer stuff they're still awesome. Well anyways, that was my first concert of many more to come hopefully. |
