Sounds so tempting guys.  Would fucking just love to pack up and go.  Maybe this is the thing that will make me quit.  :lol

Woah dude, you don't have to quit....just take a vacation. :lol
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Fucking Boston? Look, if I want to visit a smelly dump I can go to a local one.
From a Mega Man Legends island jamming power metal to a Walrus listening to black metal, I like your story arc.

After-party is at the cart corral by TAC's!  :2metal:

Wouldn't that be a helluva story.... S-X, PF and Firewind get you to North America.  You find some US chick who becomes the love of your life, and you settle down here.

Thanks Russel and Ralf!

But really, between all the DTF'rs in each city, you wouldn't have to pay for accommodations anywhere.  Me for Toronto, Katt for Joilet, TAC for Worcester, Nick for Philly, Cram for NJ...

This is a pretty awesome lineup. Symphony X just always delivers live. Primal Fear I'd probably never see as a headliner, but I'm really excited to have them on the bill. And although I lost interest in Firewind eons ago now, it will also be nice to see them live again.

Philly show is certain, and additional date or two is a possibility.

Haha, as Tim said, the current misses may have something to say about that.  Depends if I bring her along or not.  ;D  aussie on a American trek may have to be done solo haha.  Surely the chicks over there would love the accent.  :tup

Add to the story, somehow becoming Magnus' touring replacement since he never can be assed touring caused Frontiers have him by the balls and you got a hell of a story.

Those 3 bands together is almost worth me flying to America.

You could follow them around the continent.  Make a whole trip/vacation out of it.

That's Lethean's thing, not Kade's.  :lol

Like I'm the only person who does this. :P

I will not be doing it for Symphony X however unless they fix their setlist. 

But Wolfking probably hasn't seen them much, if at all, and he likes the other bands too, so he should totally do it.  :)

Perhaps.  Maybe you'll join in on the fun if say, Stratovarius does a full tour.

I'd like to see Symphony X again, but Bergen (work that day) and Philly (work the next morning) don't line up well and I don't see myself making the trek all the way out to Wantagh. Bummer there's no NYC date.

Unless Wolfking comes out, I'm definitely passing on this anyway.

Wow, they're playing in Toronto @ Opera House. Not that big a fan, but for $35cad to see 3 shred bands, I'll probably go.

Just picked up a ticket for San Francisco. Looking forward to the show. Six months is a long wait.

I'd love to tag along with you, buddy.  But the scheduling doesn't really work, unfortunately.

Sucks. I know its mid-week. Birthday week show for me, so I can make it happen. If things change, let me know.

Well you have six months to make a minor change in your schedule, where there's a will there's a way.  :biggrin:

I just bought a ticket to the Joliet show. I'm not really happy about a 70 mile drive to the venue, but Enter the Vault had tickets on sale for that show at 50% off for Christmas.  I can't pass up a ticket for $12.50.  Plus, if I'm exhausted that day and not up to going, it's not that much of a waste.

Honestly, I'm pretty excited for an opportunity to see Primal Fear...I am so in love with that band right now.  And I haven't seen Symphony X since they opened for Queensryche in 2004, when they were touring for The Odyssey and played a handful of shows with QR..  I've never seen Firewind, but I wouldn't be upset if I missed them since they don't have Apollo singing anymore.  We'll see how I feel that week and if I'm up to it....having two very young kids just sucks the energy right out of me most days.

I bought my ticket a while back. Thought i posted about it. Haha, oh well.

If Symphony X finally decides to change their set for their 20th, and ,a big, IF they play a song from their self-titled debut what would you want it to be?
