...a NWOARM band-type tour! 'Cross North America like Warped Tour or something, but with bands that are guitar-riff oriented and know how to rock out. Like, I went to Warped tour and was profoundly disappointed with bullshit like... All Time Low. Not even hardcore... not even EMO... it was just pop-punk of the worst kind. Jesus. The crowd was only thirteen year old girls. Come on.
Imagine The Sword on center stage, followed by Priestess and Lowrider! Epic riffage for a mile around! Of course, to keep it within any margin of profit, it would be prudent to include bands that are more mainstream but still do not stray far from the NWOARM line, like Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, He Is Legend, and Every Time I Die. In the end, if anything like this were to happen, the goal of money might force the tour to include some (IMO, sorry but this is a blog) less desirable metal acts such as Lamb of God or the like. But I think it would be pretty appropriate to exclude death- and black metal bands. Sorry, Norway.
Anyway, just a dream I had. I don't intend to do anything about it.

I'd much rather see the NWOARM bands (i.e. rock crusaders) in smaller venues rather than in a festival-like setting; but that's just my opinion. And thank you so much for running this blog, The It's Man, keep up the good work!!!
Both in a club or festival setting would be cool. Mixture of different styles of retro metal would be cool.
