July 3rd

Wow probably not much money left to book bands and The Cripper bands usually represents bands from all over the World.Interesting to see what happens with the last 9 announcements.But 9 more USA bands?That would be an insanely high amount.The best thing about this cruise for USA people was it broug...

I've seen Brujeria several times. They give an amazing show, so I'm psyched for this 2-setter (unless they play at 5 AM). This also opens the gates for Napalm Death (I know, no repeats...maybe) and Carcass (At the Gates is already onbroad).

Here comes TESTAMENT!

Marduk ;Devo played his last show with them on 28 December and the next tour date listed is 1 May 2020.I doubt he would have not stayed on 2 more weeks and end his reign with the band if they were playing. I'm bummed that Devo has been ruled out. Would have been great to hear "Whip It" on the pool ...

I did NOT expect that one. Great announcement! Now GOJIRA, please!

When will be announcements wtf?! Ok now Im mad

I'm more disgusted than mad. After 8 years of 70K, this will most likely be our last. Tired of the bullshit.

Yeah, this week was the week I was really feeling it coming, and I am a bit surprised that we've heard nothing yet. It's frustrating cause I just wanna keep this hype train going, and its confusing cause each day it gets harder to sell those last few cabins. But we do have the first ever headline t...

Grand Suites are suddenly gone. Does that translate to some big name bands being signed?

Sailors, start off your next decade in style! 1 Month to go until you are onbroad Round X of The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise. On 70000TONS OF METAL will you get unrestricted festival access for 4-days to 60 Heavy Metal bands performing 120+ live performances, signing sessions, ...

Last show: David Byrne's American Utopia
Next show: Probably BOAT

Getting real tired of seeing "Cabin With A View" every time I check the forum.

If it's Blind Guardian, the boat would probably get at least close to selling out.

Steel Panther and/or Shat. 70000 Tons of inappropriate comedy metal!

Please welcome AXXIS on board Round X of 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise! 30 years of greatness and counting... we are elated to have them join us on board for such a momentous "O"ccasion. https://70000tons.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/dfgh5345GDFGD456dfgt...

Its a joke man dont take it so personally.

I'm not a man, and your joke isn't funny.

Ok dude. Then DO take it personally. I could care less how sensitive you are about it.

Is that you, Calvin?

The bad news: It’s KISS The really bad news: KISS ate up the rest of Andy’s budget and we won’t get anymore bands. When Gene Simmons wants to eat at the Windjammer, everyone else gets kicked out 10 minutes before His arrival and we are forbidden from speaking directly to Him. What's worse, is that ...

Last gig: Nile/Terrorizer
Next gig: King Diamond/ Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats

Could it be...at last...AMON AMARTH?????

Last gig: HAMMERFALL & sabaton
Next gig: Nile

Clutch, Cradle of Filth, Cannibal or Cannabis Corpse (or both...that would be fun)

Cannabis Corpse is now ruled out.

Last gig: Eluveitie
Next gig: Sabaton

It's not gonna happen, but it would be a religious experience to see KING CRIMSON play a 3AM set under the stars on the pool deck. Also, no way Robert Fripp would agree to be stuck onbroad with 3000 metal maniacs.

Misery Index, please

Cheapest Quad total MegaCruise total =$1085 Cheapest Quad total 70k =$1381 Factor for MegaCruise 108 hrs. vs. 84 hrs. 70k Under these parameters 70k is about 63% more expensive No discounts factor or intangibles such as quality of cruise experience (Bands ,Food,and Ship amenities) I don’t know abou...

I wasn't able to attend last year and work towards gold status (damn layoffs), but one my of buddies mentioned Andy hinted at 3 Inches of Blood. If they announce a 3IOB performance, I am in regardless of the other 59+ bands. At that point, everyone else is a bonus. I thought they disbanded 4 years ...

Still waiting for the 2020 Mega Thread, as well as an update for the "September 25, 2019" payment plan.

Chomping at the bit!!!

Hoping UMC's week starts with Sunday.

Just came back from Amon Amarth/Arch Enemy/ At The Gates/ Grand Magus. It occurred to me that it would be great to have Black Earth onbroad.

Which bands have not been ruled out and have spaces in their schedules?

I'll start with EPICA

1st announcement for Round X, announced on Month X on day X has got to be Symphony X

I sent them an e-mail with "When?" in the subject line and "SOON?" in the body. Haven't received a response yet.

I'm absolutely convinced that if they are not announcing tomorrow (the 10th cruise, 10th month gimmick), that 70000 Tons of Metal is DEAD!

No Independence on the port schedule for Cozumel either.

That's alarming. I can't help but think that there's trouble in Paradise. I figure a cancellation would not be announced until every possibility is exhausted for UMC.

I feel like we will now finally get platinum booking status. Along with the ultimate thrash lineup.

And robes. We will finally get our robes!

LOVE your shirt!

Starting to seriously wonder if this is going to happen at all. If they're playing with us, it's not particularly funny any more.

Even their facebook troll/social media person has been unusually quiet. Gone from a post on facebook pretty much every 2nd day, to only 2 posts in the last 10 days. Like one of the others who decided to go to Japan, if 70K doesn't happen, we'll book a kick-ass vacation and wind up saving some money...

ok sailors.....are we ready or what! Mercyful Fate to be the first band up! http://rock-musicland.com/mercyful-fate/files/logo.png This weekend! Or I'm an astronaut with 3 heads! There has got to be some insanely amazing 1st announcement like Mercyful Fate to get those who are (rightfully) pissed o...
