Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to hitting up Brewer's Art while up there. Speaking of MDF, I have an extra Thursday-only ticket if there's anyone who missed out on the 4-day passes and had to settle for a 3-day.

Cheapsteaks posted:I mean gently caress, even with their own streak of synthy-poppy albums I'd say that Rush is more metal than DT. If you're going to pick a prog metal album as being influential, Images & Words is probably not a bad choice. I could see maybe going for Operation: Mindcrime over it in terms of simply having a wider audience and being a concept album, but I think I&W (especially Metropolis Part I) probably better represents prog metal's musical differences.

I'd suggest just focusing on the ones you like or have some other worthwhile reason for being brought up.

Johnny Aztec posted:Whats the pit etiquette? Like , if I got a good spot in the pit, and during one of the breaks I hit the bathroom or whatever I have to pretty much fight back to my spot? Also, anecdote from the last MDF, I mistimed my entry to the Bolt Thrower crowd and was stuck like 2/3 of the way from the stage, when this fat Latino dude comes through yelling "GET TO THE PIT! GET TO THE PIT!", followed by his skinny buddy apologizing for him. I just followed that guy and it worked pretty well. So basically if you're fat, yell GET TO THE PIT while pushing through, and if you're skinny, find a fat buddy to yell for you and you apologize for him.

One more note on pit etiquette: Don't be that rear end in a top hat who pushes people into the pit who clearly don't want to be there. The pit is a consensual thing.

T-Bozz Factor posted:Hey guys. I haven't posted here in like forever and as you might guess, I'm back because I need something from you. Honesty is good. My band put out an album and I think you'll like it if you're into Slough Feg, Manilla Road, or obvious stuff like Iron Maiden. Lots of guitar harmonies with a balance of heavy and melodic stuff. Think late 70s/early 80s metal before everything was super defined. (but we are still influenced by modern stuff as well) The link below takes you to bandcamp. You can listen to the whole thing there and buy it for 7 bucks if you like it that much. Either way, effluvious praise welcomed and harsh criticism tolerated.

Agreeing with a lot of the power metal opinions posted, here's a couple I like: Engage was a shortlived band from Glenallen, VA, their demo is fantastic aside from the vocalist having a questionable sense of being on-key: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL5q5K23uRg Threshold is one of the best power-prog bands imho, though they aren't nearly as shreddy as like Symphony X, instead of taking power metal speed and making it wankier, their focus is more on catchiness with more elaborate prog themes and concepts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Xlj4-tiws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUg3d1EUKE
