So it seems that Mike Portnoy has unveiled the line-up for this year's ProgNation tour and in my opinion, it delivers. Dream Theater Zappa Plays Zappa Pain of Salvation (in the US  )Beardfish (!!!!!) http://www.mikeportnoy.com/forum/m2249550.aspx - http://www.mikeportnoy.com/forum/m2249550.aspx Just thought you all would like to know. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

Last year's line up was way better than that (not that I could go, living in this sh*t hole were bands don't even tour half the time cos it's so freaking far away from everywhere ). I don't even like the last two bands on the list to be honest. I really think this tour should be about getting some less established and less well known bands out there, like they did with BtBaM last year.

This made my day. Was really wondering how I was going to be able to see PoS live... Just hope it doesn't interfere with Nearfest...

Pain of Salvation and Beardfish are waaaaaaaay less well known that Between the Buried and Me and Opeth Zappa Plays Zappa was kind of out of left field but a nice surprise suffice to say this tour should kick several kinds of ass -------------

That is pretty neat. Glad Daniel is coming to our country, finally. However, the smaller acts only got about 30 minutes last year, and for Beardfish and PoS, that's not enough time, especially if that means PoS's set is going to be mostly Scarsick stuff. Oh well, I may still go. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Alex!
yeah me and my friends are super duper dissapointed because there's nothing brutal for us , we may tailgate before DT. But IMO The Faceless, Cynic, and Meshuggah tour this February blows prog nation 09 away-------------

The last Prognation tour didn't roll through Philadelphia last time around, so I'm looking forward to catching it this time if they stop here. I missed Dream Theater the last time they headlined here as well.

^I dont know what some of you are complaining about, thats two vewry good line-ups in two years (with Three and Beardfish being the only so-so bands). Wish they would do the same thing in Europe.

Let's match these line-ups:
DT vs DT...
BTBAM vs Beardfish - TIE
3 vs Zappa - 3
Opeth vs POS - TIE
Therefore, for just a hair, last year's line-up is better.... -------------

I may actually go this year, I'd absolutely love to see Pain of Salvation, Zappa Plays Zappa is a huge plus as well. Dream Theater is obviously fantastic and I don't know Beardfish. With that being said, if Pain of Salvation is limited to a 30 minute set then it becomes much less alluring for me. Seriously, I want a full set of PoS if I'm going to make the trek cause I don't see them making it to Pittsburgh. Has anyone heard what the times of sets are planned for this year?

DT vs DT...
BTBAM vs Beardfish - Beardfish....I enjoy alot of metal but BTBAM doesn't do it for me at all. The last Beardfish album was AMAZING!
3 vs Zappa - 3, but only because I havn't heard much zappa
Opeth vs POS - TIE |

I guarantee anyone who goes to see Zappa Plays Zappa will come out with a new appreciation for Frank's music. They will be the best band there.

Protest the Hero is a priority before this, Cannibal Corpse/The Faceless is a priority before this, OPETH/ENSLAVED is a much bigger priority before this. If this is in a seated place like Jones Beach (considering it will be summer) me and my friends will probably wait until Zappa Plays Zappa is just about done with their setlist before making our way in there -------------

I know Dream Theater is doing a European Tour before the American leg, so perhaps they may do something similar? You're lucky though, prog bands tour Europe far more frequently than they do America. -------------

Hmmm, according to your comparison, it looks like it's a tie. But I'm sure you left out weights of some sort.
Anyhow, I definitely liked last year's line-up better. Opeth and BTBAM > PoS and Beardfish. I do love all of those bands, but I'm worried that PoS is going to play mostly Scarsick material.
Of course, the quality of the new DT songs would factor into this as well. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Agreed. With ZPZ and DT together at the same concert, let alone Beardfish, I need to see this. I'm not familiar with PoS though, but that doesn't matter to me. -------------

I couldn't afford NEARFest... ...But I bought my Prog Nation tour tickets for Montreal (along with 5 other friends!). We somehow got amazing seats? And the tickets were somehow $59.99 (+ tax), when I thought that I wasn't going to be able to afford this either! Weeee! The main events for me are Zappa Plays Zappa and Beardfish. I haven't got into PoS yet, and I don't care to hear anything off Dream Theater's new album (which I'm guessing they will be playing lots of )Anyone else hitting up the Bell Center? -------------  |

I know How to spell Pain but the idea was that I was so in sorrow that I couldn't even spell the work Pain. Yeah Man! that is a shame I was also looking foward to see be beardfish. it isn't that I dont want to see DT but I have seem on every tour since six degree and I have vener seen Pain of Beardfish live.like I said I least I know BigElf . They're making great records as well. ------------- http://darksideofcollages.blogspot.com/ http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Darksideof-Collages/ |
