| __________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:22am - Anthony ""] Psycroptic, Spawn of Possession, Decrepit Birth, and Necrophagist. Plus Exhorder reunion. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:22am - Anthony ""] you can pull this off dude, I know you can |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:22am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] This really depends what you are going for. We don't quite have enough information, so I can't make many suggestions... What styles do you want to include? |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:23am - hung_to_bleed ""] Necrotic Disgorgment Lust of Decay Decrepit Birth Devourment |

| ______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:28am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Okay, so pretty much anything beyond the nu-metal shit. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:31am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] DrinkHardThrashHard said:Okay, so pretty much anything beyond the nu-metal shit. Yes. Naturaly, I need headliners with a draw but I don't want to hear people bitching about the national acts not being metal enough. Also I want this to be something that'll get some serious metal community notoriety. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:32am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] US/Canada: Cannibal Corpse Cryptopsy Arsis Morbid Angel Nile Nevermore Iced Earth Slayer Megadeth Dream Theater If you are including Europe/England: Blind Guardian Necrophagist Dragonforce Dimmu Borgir (or some other big-name black metal band) The Haunted Kreator Bands like that would probably pack whatever fest you want. |

Lets try to stick with the U.S./Canada. If the band is already here on a tour then maybe I can get one from overseas. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:37am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I'm just trying to think of bands that are huge (or on the verge of being huge) that will pack the house, guaranteed, and will probably cost you through the teeth. But you will make money if these bands play. The bands I've listed are pretty much the most popular in existence. I left out Maiden and Priest. If you are looking to go smaller, there are thousands of choices. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:38am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] The first one that came to my mind was November's Doom. That may give you an idea of the status level I have my eyes on. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:39am - Cecchini ""] JAG PANZER and/or NEVERMORE.... i say you get both. |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:42am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] Jag Panzer is going to draw like four people. Honestly. November's Doom is attainable, but how many people would they draw? I apologize, when you said 'ultimate' I was thinking more along the lines of something like Mass Metal/Hardcore fest, Wacken Open Air, etc. I misunderstood. You're looking at something much more cozy though (and frankly, cooler). |

I apologize, when you said 'ultimate' I was thinking more along the lines of something like Mass Metal/Hardcore fest, Wacken Open Air, etc. I misunderstood. You're looking at something much more cozy though (and frankly, cooler). I'm looking to set up a two day fest with strickly local metal bands hand picked. Each day will have two national headliners with 8-10 locals. And I want headliners that will cause people from all over New England to come. I don't want some Locobazooka bullshit. I'm not in this for the money. Sp log as I break even on this in the end I'll be happy. America just doesn't have enough metal fest and especially up this way. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:53am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] How do you people feel about Old Man's Child? |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:56am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] Should I consider any of these? AS I LAY DYING IN FLAMES TRIVIUM TERROR THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER BEHEMOTH THE CHARIOT THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD |

| ________________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 12:59am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] See how easy that was to get that out of the way. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:02am - eddie ""] get stryper |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:03am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] I always wanted to get both Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth together in one show. I've never seen anyone do that. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:04am - Anthony ""] Behemoth would be cool, not those other bands though. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:04am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] eddie said:get stryper :pukeface: |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:05am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] Behemoth is do-able. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:07am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] Morbid Angel Cannibal Corpse Deicide anything less would be uncivilized[img] [img] |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:08am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] I'm writing these names down. Later today I'll post a real poll and let all you duke it out. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:08am - blue ""] i believe the gentleman said 'fuck styles,' so i believe he's looking for a diverse mix of metal/hardcore. cus if you are, then one of those bands might be something to consider (a smaller band like TTEOTD would work, the others are fairly bigtimers). i know nearly EVERYONE on this board is going to want a strictly 'metal metal' show though. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:09am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] You should get bands like CRUCIFIER, GRAND BELIAL'S KEY, IBEX MOON, SUMMON, SADISTIC INTENT, DEMONCY, THE CHASM, etc. Bands that don't tour the country in every city all the time. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:11am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] AUTOPSY_666 said:Bands that don't tour the country in every city all the time. Good point. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:12am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] There is only 1 undisbutable choice though They will come from far and wide [img] |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:13am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] That's why I don't want bands like Shadows Fall. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:14am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] Is Ratt even still together? |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:17am - Anthony nli ""] Meshuggah |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:17am - MadOakDevin ""] I would like to point out that I wouldn't go to New Hampshire for a show even if Isis was playing Oceanic in it's entirity. Okay, that's a lie. But if you can get Isis to do that, I'll be there. :-) |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:18am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] Why does the image of Cannibal Corpse playing the stage right before Ratt make me laugh? |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:25am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Yeah, OKAY! |
| __________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:41am - Cecchini ""] I think Panzer would have enough following around here, espicially if its going to be at a local level size wise venue. Other bands that are 'big' but not 'to big' to consider would be: Nevermore as I already said Amon Amarth Old Mans Child as you said Necrophagist Vital Remains even though it seems like they were around a ton this year Cellador... not as a headliner but a close to headliner like spot Dark Tranquility when you thinking of doing this anyway? |
| ______________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:43am - blue ""] dude, jag panzer doesn't draw crap. i was watching them at milwaukee metalfest 2002 with like 40 other people. and those bands for the most part are pretty big bucks. cellador, wtf? |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:45am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] When I've got all the variables figured out. Cost, bands, venue, promotion, exc. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:48am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] stop being gay and book this band [img] |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:54am - MadOakDevin ""] Your best bets would be: Dysrhythmia Pig Destroyer PsyOpus Sulaco I'd stick to east coast or else you're going to run into HUGE financial problems. Especially if it's in NH. |

Power metal stuff was dead back in 2002 over here with the exception of maybe Iced Earth starting to get bigger... But anyway, Despite my personal bias, I am saying them because I'm assuming we're talking about a place that has like a less than 400 capacity (which I know they can't draw) but their inclusion as a secondary headliner would open up the appeal to some kids who wouldnt normally go, and with power metal on an upswing right now it would be cool to include one power metal headliner. All the known power metal bands are either to costly, to costly by being overseas, to big or have no US drawing power. if bands like dr. chuds x-ward can headline fests of this size, JP totally could or just get Nevermore. haha |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 1:57am - A Metalfest Promoter ""] Do not make venue capacity an issue. I may just look into somethinig like the Tweeter Center if need be. |

I may just look into somethinig like the Tweeter Center if need be. well if thats the case then throw out most of my list haha. go bigger and get Iced Earth.... or Jerry Lee Lewis. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 2:03am - MadOakDevin ""] If you did a show at the Tweeter Center. I wouldn't go. That automatically loses the greatness of any show. What festivals do i remember and will always remember? All those DIY fests with a bunch of dirty punk kids showing up having a goodtime. Not some lame ass palladium fest. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 2:03am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I have a crush on DRAGONFORCE's music after seeing the video, I am sure I will give in to temptation and buy their CD soon. |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 21,2006 2:14am - MadOakDevin ""] Funny they happen every saturday considering I haven't seen one since Literacy Fest. And the only time before that was Friendly Fest in CT. and also, if those huge festivals only happen a few times a year. They still suck ass and are filled with tons of bullshit. Metalfest is full of advertising, Hellfest the same thing. |

This will not be sponsored by shitty rip-bands-off website, some disgusting booze or Snapple. As I said before, I'm not in this for the money. So long as I break even I'm happy. |
