I don’t think any of the Miami bands ever played onbroad the same year, but I could be wrong.

34 days and 24 bands left. For comparison, here's when previous droughts ended: 2019 37 days to go 22 bands 2018 28 days to go 16 bands 2017 42 days to go 23 bands 2016 36 days to go 20 bands 2015 36 days to go 30 bands In 7 days, if nothing happens, we'll have beaten the record for the latest end ...

The next post is "Seasons Greetings!" on December 24th, followed by "7 Days To Departure!"

What are the odds that we even see a “ONE MONTH” post today?

20% (2012, 2018)

I don’t know, I had a terrible experience with the meet&greet this year.
No cash to buy a sticker, and I waited 20mn to get a drink.
I’d rather do the Discord one, but there isn’t any planned yet.

But what for? What is their advantage in late announcements? Is it because of the interest rate on the bank or what? I know right? WHAT A WEIRD WAY TO DO BUSINESS!! "I know what I'm gonna do, instead of announcing stuff and opening sales in February when the post cruise hype is at its peak, taking ...

Yesterday I got to talk for a while to Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil after her gig in Barcelona. She told me that they are taking a small break at the beginning of 2020 and that it is completely ruled out that they will be onbroad. By the way, she's absolutely awesome, nice and down-to-earth. G...

EXUMER, meh.

Fun fact: Michael Schenker will celebrate his 65th birthday on day 4.

Aether Realm just posted on Facebook suggesting that they might play the entirety of "The Sun, The Moon, The Star" on board. It's their 20 min masterpiece, and just about doubled my level of hype for their sets. If you haven't heard it before, you really should check it out. https://www.youtube.com...

I'm so bored.

We stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean”

would love to meet some sailors there.

Not *that* kind of sailors

This year my wife and I went to an Italian restaurant near our hotel in Fort Lauderdale that was really good, best garlic potatoes ever.
Nice Italian wine list, but $$$.
We’ll probably go there again on Monday (Day -1), would love to meet some sailors there.
No metal dress code though, I’m afraid.

I’m also a big fan of JUST DIAPERS.

After a break like this it would be highly unlikely for the drought to break on a weekend. People are out and about, media wouldn't be monitoring for announcements to share etc. Hopefully the silence is due to them scrambling to get acts so big, so special, that they are enough to commit people to ...

Maybe the E band could be Exhorder! They have a new album out. Their website has no shows/tours listed, which is really odd. So, maybe the reason is they are waiting for this announcement here before it gets shoved up to their own web page or something. I predict Monday morning we'll get the E we'v...

AS I LAY DYING and DISCHARGE: touring

Nope - due for another weenie band! EX LIBRIS, EVERTALE, EXIT EDEN or EDGUY :D You used my lexical convention of using all caps for bands for the first time, hence you implicitly accepted my verbal dominance. :lol: Ignore those other bands for the moment Andy, EX DEO is clearly the people’s choice ...

Nope - due for another weenie band! EX LIBRIS, EVERTALE, EXIT EDEN or EDGUY :D Perhaps for the next ‘E’ band. But this time, the whole 70000 Tons of Metal community is rooting for EX DEO, because after 2000 years people forgot how much of the glory of Rome came from its ships, and this is a magnifi...

Please announce EX DEO Andy, that would make lots of people happy (even me).
Thanks.

ATHEIST is touring with CATTLE, and are available after Xmas.
I like them in studio (prog thrash/death), but every recent live video I can find sounds like a mushy mess, which is probably how they would sound onbroad.
They are my guess for a ‘A’ band.

VERY minor update. 1L Triple gone. J4 Gone. J3 Double back. GT Quad gone. Type / Double / Triple / Quad / Quin/ SEX / Sept / Oct / Standard Interior 6V / 90 / Standard Interior 4V / 225 / Standard Interior 3V / ?? / 1 / 151 / Standard Interior 2V / 121 / Standard Interior 1V / ?? / ?? / 26 / Promen...

Gotta admit, all these repeats are making it much easier to come to peace with the fact that this’ll be my last 70K for the foreseeable future.

Every day is our last day for the foreseeable future.
And THAT is Metal.

The lineup is improving for me: 9/11/15 Yes/Maybe/No

ALIEN WEAPONRY, ANIMALS AS LEADERS, ACKERCOCKE, ANAAL NATHRAKH, AGNOSTIC FRONT, please!
They’re all cheap!

2019 we had 14 bands get 60 minutes and 3 get 75. I think we've got our three 75 minute bands already, but only 9 60s. MAYBE there is an 'ace up the sleeve' headliner to come that might bump one of the others (or join them, as a 4th). So to come, possibly: 1 x 75 minute band 5 x 60 minute bands 20 ...

Another wish list band

S.O.D. is *still* ruled out: https://www.instagram.com/p/B40dAHzpQcP ... zctxwvhbti

SUFFOCATION, finally a repeat for me that I want

FROG LEAP looked like a lot of fun at the European festivals ( https://youtu.be/aQVPcFwdAn0 ), and they play the CRANBERRIES version of “Wash your hands”! They would fit the gimmicky bill nicely, IMO. I really want FROG LEAP onbroad as a party band. Please, Andy? I promise they’re cheap. This one s...

I’ve never been so happy to be wrong.

They were using a short version of "for a while."

It looks like they're using the same Andy-to-English translator the rest of us use. In a while means soon, and soon means in a while.

Lol

So we’re still around 63% of cabins sold out? Pure speculation - could be as few as 20 cabins left, or as many as 700. But my guess would be around 60-70% sold. Now those are some **hard** stats.

Check out this masterpiece

Was it a sound quality issue? IMO a lot of bands were poorly mixed in 2016 across all 4 venues. Might be a C2H6O technical issue. This shows that we need MORE repeats, not less, to average the statistics. :lol: Is that an alcohol issue? Chemistry was a long long time ago so bear with me. You’d thin...
