I had a great time.... I thought I'd be planning a Thailand or Brazil trip for 2013....now I'm all but convinced the cruise is a mandatory vaca. I will not redact my issues regarding lack of news. But, I whole heartedly thank the UMC staff. I met Blake and he was busting serious ass to keep things i...

As much as I love the concept of BTH, both my calendar and finances make it impossible. So for 70k 2013...any of the following would cause me to book instantly: Manowar (I can dream dammit) Entombed Dismember (again, I can dream) Savatage (see above) Sigh Accept Heathen Kalmah Kreator Omen Immortal ...

HUGE thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart I have been spending my morning with these links. So very appreciative for your work. Now, I will throw this out there...if anyone wants to put together a "best of" compilation of videos, i will certianly paypal you cash direct for a bu...

Something needs to be setup to allow for screen prints to be done in Miami. Bands submit one or two designs to UMC. UMC ensures printing. The hassle of schlepping this shit across the globe is understandable. If I were in one of the bands, I wouldn't bother with anything other than CD's. My two merc...

1st cruise - enjoying some vegemite, stumbles over to our breakfast table, humbles (I think something) and wanders off never to be seen again 2nd cruise - I remember at least 3 encounters. Hugging you from behind and you had no idea who it was initially. Seeing you at the beach with Hector and Paul...

It takes a big man to recognize potential flaws or wrong doings. NO worries bro! That being said, you certainly didn't offend me in ANY way. We didn't talk, but I saw you a ton. I hung back because most of the time I was relatively sober due to nasuea and was afraid I'd come off like a prude. I was ...

70k 2013 definite for me. Don't care about what bands are announced. Would hate if it moved to a bigger boat though. A bigger boat wouldn't bother me so long as the cap wasn't rediculous. Are we talking 4000+ sailors? I would need to know those details before making a decison. If the boat remains t...

Thanks for a great time! My neck is surprisingly not sore. Tons of wonderful memories. See you next year, no doubt about it I'm pretty sure I saw you several times but wasn't sure if it was you I feel the same about you! I honestly had a really hard time finding forumites. I didn't get one sucessfu...

I can deal with the smoke, I would prefer not to as I'm asthmatic but it just seems to come with the territory. Wonderful event in general. I do plan to provide a lengthy post about my virginal experience. For now, a few minor thoughts: More karoake spaces seem necessary for this bunch. Perhaps in t...

I am not even worried about such banter this far away *assuming we're talking 70k. Let's soak up the last experience a bit longer!

Thanks for a great time!

My neck is surprisingly not sore. Tons of wonderful memories.

See you next year, no doubt about it

I feel better knowing Symphony X was offered a spot. Now, I am very curious as to why x turned it down. Love these guys, and would have been so much more pumped for them had they decided to go. Any logic behind the rejection? One of them had issues with being too cool to.want to interact with fans ...

Another year of no prog love. Oh well, still tons I'm looking forward to. Gonna be a blast! yup, it appears as such; Don't think the Skipper is much of a prog fan. No kidding. Not just a lack of straight prog, but no progressive anything. I at least was hoping for some progressive death or folk. Oh...

Libertine, Sorry to offend. I guess I consider bands who haven't released an album in 16 years and probably haven't toured the U.S. probably in that same timeframe (if not longer) pretty unknown at this point. You'd have to be DEEP into the early 90's Florida DM scene (and of age or live in the are...

For shame!

What is your favorite type of metal?

Obviously not!!!! German don't have the sense of hospitality. Italian and hungarian have. I found the Germans to be quite hospitable Haven't been to Italy or Hungary yet though. They are on my list of places to visit, granted most of the world is. Actually, I have always heard that Germans are amon...

Yea your not gonna get to 10k posts that way june! :)

1) ShoreSlayer, I listened to ALL this Massacre's song. It was boring. 2) DrinkMoxie Legion of the damned ARE a death metal band (or the websites and wikipedia are lying, I don't care) and they are BAD BAD BAD. And I endured them twice. 3) soundcurve I am sorry, I don't like Satyricon, I saw them l...

I used to have a rock solid jumper and half way decent ball handling skills. Been years since I've played but I'd prob make a stop if I saw some action

In my opinion, if you dig Pabst and other shitty beers and you enjoy drinking it then consider yourself lucky! All these snobs with their delicate sensibilities and shit have to pay like 3 times as much to get just as drunk! I love quality beer/actual beer. However, I have drained cases of PBR at m...

Love the new avatar. My lady saw it and said "he looks scary."

I laughed and said that you were a jolly fellow

I sure hope we aren't being kept in dark over spite!

Reveal all please!

Can't wait....soon

wow...THAT WOULD DEF. BE A HANGOVER IN THE MAKING!

omg when I get back I'm going to invent beer bong pong. That would be fucking sweet.

Might want to add poison control to your speed dial!

I'll stick to my theory that the deals aren't final for the last few bands yet, so there is nothing that can officially be announced. I guess we'll find out when we see the backs of the official shirts since I would imagine that they would have to be sent to print by now. This seems impossible, unl...

Fuck that would be awesome while karaoke's going on.

NiCE...I THINK I'LL PACK ONE....just in case

Bongs of all types are promoted!

In reality: beautiful summers around here, very high standard of living, tons of high-paying jobs, and access to almost any amenity you can think of (save for beaches). I'll put up with some Black-metal weather for that. Life beyond the wall aint so bad after all.. THe winter is cleansing and beaut...

Honestly, I think I'd have a panic attack if I was squished in the corner feeling like death was pending

Although it's pretty funny that so many of you cruisers are bringing condoms, it's good to see you are all safe Yeah last thing I need is to leave some DNA evidence in the bodies once the authorities start their investigation I'd be shocked if any male got laid (outside of relationships that is).

If ever there was a hypothetical announcement that could literally make me cry....this would be it

How cool that would be

Helluva an idea

You wouldnt care either way? What if it was an Abba cover band or Kraftwerk from Germany? Still wouldn't care?

That is great news! Glad to hear of the sellout!

Now pleeeeease hit is with the last few

So what is signature ediquette when it comes to getting an album signed only by the current members who were PART of that release? I don't often get sigs and would like to grab a few for fun sake Seems to be two schools of thought A) You're in the band now, which means I want your sig B) Only the b...

Another nice addition! Out of curiosity how many of you Americans don't know this band? After answering this question you will have also answered the great mystery of what is wrong with the American metal scene. This really strikes me as well, not just with regard to this band but in general. That ...

It's an announcement, but for me, that's all it is

Absolutely, anyone in business is used to handling criticism. A professional, and very appreciated personal message from the skip Consistent updates, even if they do not include an announcement is about the one thing I think we can all agree on. SO much of the anxiety leading up could have been squa...

Cyco you are awesome for putting this together. I had an idea to do a similar thread a few weeks back but felt too lazy to pick songs. Thanks for giving me some mid afternoon tune time

Never have I seen the Circle of Wtiches video....holy shit that was a great video!
