This is just simply strange. Most of these bands come form so far afield that you would never see them even contemplate a tour together but they are all definitely Metal so, I guess this is a good dream to be having.
There are selections form the current kings of melodic Heavy Metal, ICED EARTH, STRATOVARIUS, HELLOWEEN and others mixed with a healthy dose of 80's hair metal, SKID ROW, MR BIG and BONFIRE by the end the mix makes more sense but on paper it looks kind of weird.
If this is going to bring more folks into the land of modern Metal I am all for it but I hope this is being sold at a reduced price so that the kid who is spending his gift certificate can squeeze this in after buying a full priced album.
