I'm out. Go ahead and announce Dark Fortress, Andy. There's no way I can make it at this point.
Horns up and thumbs down.

I've read the book but has anyone seen the movie? I saw it this past weekend, and I'm curious what anyone else (besides Varg) thinks about it. I thought it was a good effort by Jonas Akerlund, and probably his biggest film yet. It kept me engaged for most of the duration of the film, but something w...

Hey, you are absolutely right that I have no idea because I haven't been there. But I have a small idea because people are still bitching about it. If the merch area(s) were a great success this year, then WOOHOO! :cheers: I'm genuinely happy to hear that! You bring up some valid arguments, and from...

This numbered system seems to me like a bunch of horseshit. Granted, I have not been on the cruise since this system was implemented, but if I wanted merch, I shouldn't have to take a number then spend the rest of the day waiting my turn and missing all the bands and potentially getting skipped over...

Raven was on board this year. Septicflesh and Sabaton has an album out this year? Details please I missed this announcement. Whoops! I had no idea Raven was onbroad this year. :lol: Anyway... http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/sabaton-to-release-next-studio-album-in-2019/ http://www.blabbermouth.net/...

I thought this thread got deleted, but it was buried under a bunch of necroposts. :lol: Megacruise is certainly easier for me to attend, being only a 6 hour drive from LA, and it departs on our 6th wedding anniversary. I would love to see an Anthrax/John Bush reunion of some sorts, with Armored Sain...

I think the answer is yes, and 6 bands have been nominated. In an effort to minimize conflict, I would recommend opening the poll for 2 weeks. Close the poll on February 28 at 11:59pm EST (or whatever you decide) and the winner is the winner. No overtime, no judges decision. Game over. Pretty sure t...

Bad Religion and Graveyard added.

Yeah but eventually you gotta go outside to get like more beer and shit.

I don't know how or why you guys live in that shit. I spent 26 years in Michigan and got the f*ck out.

T-minus 50 days before mooyagi starts bitching about the heat.

Not metal, but Lynryd Skynyrd?

Going back to the first cruise, and assuming there was some apprehension of whether or not you would go on the boat in the first place, which band made you say screw it, we're going! 2011: Fear Factory. Amon Amarth was already on it, and I heard the headliners were yet to be announced. I thought tha...

The NEXT DEPARTURE countdown clock is up and ticking on the home page

It rolled over once it hit zero. I sent the picture to Mooyagi as you all were anchors up and departing port.

I'll pick the International Day of Slayer: June 6.

The first band that comes to mind is GWAR, but I could be wrong.

Does anyone come here for "General Metal Discussion not related to 70000TONS OF METAL"?

Clutch
Fu Manchu
Amenra

Potty training fucking sucks. 3 and a half year old kids still shit their pants. I'm so sick of this BS. They'll be in fucking kindergarten before they learn to use the goddamn toilet.

Thinking about returning next year.

I thought about making a comment about motorboating wife's asses but I think I'll let it go. Oh wait...

Anthrax & Armored Saint = John Bush performing Sound of White Noise era stuff. Oh yeah, there's that other cruise.
Satyricon + Mayhem + Emperor = THORNS
Opeth + Porcupine Tree = Storm Corrosion ...yeah right.

Totally agree. I've met Andy on the boat several times. He's always willing to chat for a second and snap a picture or two. Very nice gentleman, and I wouldn't want to make things go sideways either. I actually asked him how many languages he is fluent in, so I understand not wanting to stir the hor...

I know there are a few survivors of the maiden voyage in 2011 that still attend this fest, but are any of the old timers thinking about a reunion on this coming cruise?

Not sure where this bit of news belongs, but it’s an awesome story that deserves to be told. I was at Andy’s press conference at the end of the cruise and got to ask a question. My question was this: Given the challenging wind and weather conditions when we left Miami, how in the hell did you guys ...

I thought I would stir up the hornet's nest here since the broads are pretty quiet lately. There is a new trend in concerts in the form of holograms for deceased musical artists, i.e. Ronnie James Dio, Elvis, Michael Jackson, 2Pac, etc. Are you for this or against it? Does it carry on a legacy, or s...
