Yup. I am the one using the term "Gurgling with sulfuric acid" and "Puking into microphone", though I was not the one who invented them. In any case. ONE HUGE Powermetal band is on. Primal Fear. Makes it MUCH better. Two shows with Primal Fear, Two Shows with Rhapsody, Two shows ...
If they continue with bands like they have so far - it will NOT sell out. Growl Death metal has LIMITED appeal. It appeals to a part of a metal crowd. While MOST metal fans prefer traditional metal, power, doom and prog. If they keep turning this into "Barge to Hell" it will NOT sell out. ...
Damn. If Iron Maiden was booked... Scheisse... I would be super happy. But c'mon, you can't compare Iron Maiden to... goatwhore and other bands of that level. That's like comparing Grey Goose vodka to Popov vodka (try them side by side and see what I mean). Everyone heard of Maiden. Goatwhore... did...
To quote Bugs Bunny "You don't know me very well, do you". Last cruise 2017 me and my wife seen... 37 shows. Now, some bands we saw TWICE so we saw 29 bands, IIRC. For us it was literally Get up at 9am. And then shows NON STOP. Come to the cabin at around 2-3 am, pass out.. If we went to k...
I know. Just trying to help out and give more exposure to the bands I know. I definitely would say that Conniption, Wrath, Shaolin DeathSquad and Beastmaker as well as Noble Beast, deserve to be on the cruise. Each have 4+ albums out. (Wrath has more). Noble Beast only has 1 album. But it is incredi...
Yes, yes, yes... we all know all the huge bands. We may like them (Rhapsody), or dislike them (Goatwhore), but they are sorta known. What I really would like 70k to do is to help promote and give exposure to some smaller USA bands. Be it Death Metal (Khazaadum), or be it Doom metal (Beast Maker), or...
Yes, and you can add Moonspell to the bands which have VERY complex music (and I love Moonspell lyrics). The problem is that growling destroys everything from me "This song was so great and then he had to open his mouth". I grew up on Ozzy, Dio, Judas Priest, Maiden, Warlock, Candlemass, L...
Unfortunately, I live in USA. And going to those festivals will be MUCH more expensive than going on the cruise. And yes, I do go to Prog Power in USA.
Yes. In 2017 I met bunch of people and it was fun. But to me, first and foremost it is to go see shows which otherwise I won't be able to see. And yes. I got to prog power. And yes, if it would be up to me,. instead of "puke into microphone" bands, I would rather see good local US metal ba...
I already know all of the bands. Why do you think I am pissed? Last tour they had 28 bands that I liked. 9 of those bands I went to see TWICE. I am not even that big of a fan of Sonata Arctica, but I will take them over all the "we gurgle with sulfuric acid" bands. I was hoping there will ...
So far it has been "puke metal central". Very few non death/or growley thrash bands. Reality check: this is NOT Barge to hell tour. Reality check, this is NOT death metal festival. Keep it up and I am sitting this one out. Only TWO bands are to my liking so far: Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica an...
Hello. I was on the last 70k cruise and there was several smaller bands on it, which is superb. There is a band, which I found totally by accident. They are from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are called "Conniption". They have 4 albums out. Which is plenty for 2 sets. Unlike a certain band th...
I seen Blind Guardian twice this year. If you think they are a baf live band that you "left after 5th song" you are on crack or have no musical ear whatsoever. To a smartass who claims that Blind Guardian and Sonata Arctica "belong on Disney cruise" you don't know good music if i...
I am actually HAPPY that Gojira and Nile is out. Quite Happy. Too many "we gargle with sulfuric acid" bands on board anyways. Now, figure this out: BLIND GUARDIAN have US visas, seen them twice already. So do Leaves Eyes, so does Sonata Arctica, So does Rage/Refuge, so does Rhapsody, so do...
1. The venue filler, but still more or less within the 70K budget/audience limits. Megadeth 2. A band probably no one else in this forum listens to. Haven't been here enough to know what ppl here listens but i would go for Ariya - Russian Iron Maiden 3. A solid Cripper Award contender (if possible, ...
I really would like to see DEATHSTARS on this cruise. I saw them live in Chicago, Reggies, they were opening up for Moonspell, and they are a GREAT band, sound great live. Other bands I would love to see: Rage - Running Wild - Helloween - GammaRay - Amorphis - Shaolin Death Squad - Megadeth.
