Speaking of mainstream bands aren't keep of Kallessin that band that stopped playing black metal to pursue lighter stuff and also so they could try represent Norway for the Eurovision?
Might not be the same band but i suspect it is

lol i suppose they are but i don't know if they were "true" black metal from the beginning. either way, they can't be compared to the mainstream like of slipknot or down

[Blastbeatorz]

Some extreme death metal like Nile (heard from Karl that they are prolly coming, EXCITEEEEEEEEEEEEED) and Dying Fetus.

[Jöhn&Melönius]

Need some Mexican Metal. I suggest Hacavitz

[BlackToothGrin]

Varg is so pussy, even he is an idol or icon for Black Metal I don't want to see him live. Neither on the same boat as I am.

i concur

[Schluckspecht666]

Can't please everyone.

On the other hand you need time to get beer too.

My thoughts exactly.

[Jöhn&Melönius]

Some Doom and Black Metal would be nice.

Varathron
Besatt
Ahab

[Psycho]

Pirate Metal would be appropriate

Definetely DAMN apropriate

I hope for some kinda party metal band, I think it'd be a great thing

Swashbuckle are enough Pirate Metal. IMHO

What is Pirate Metal anyway? I don't call this a genre, like I don't call "Viking Metal" a genre.

That's true, I don't think it's a genre. There are a few great metal bands with a . . .er . . . pirate persuasion - and it's awesome. I love Alestorm. Swashbuckle is great - love the admiral's videos on youtube. We NEED Alestorm to commandeer this ship. I think it would be scientifically classified as 'folk metal' - what do you think?

[Metalwrath]

To me there is and always will be only one pirate metal band and that is the legendary RunningWild.
As for Swashbuckle i will be making sure to avoid them.If anybody else feels the same way they're welcome to join me for beers

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to check them out. I'm not going to miss the swashbuckle show but I def. want to throw back some beers with you. I wonder how much money I'll end up spending on booze - probably more than I should.

[Max_Rockwell]

I'd definitely be up for some Alestorm.
I missed Swashbuckle when they came to Winnipeg, so if there is nothing else that appealing to do while they're on stage, I'll check them out.

[Rayzor]

I'm an old guy and my tastes in Metal are quite broad, so it will be easier to sum up what I would not like to see on the cruise:

1) Rap.
2) Anything like Rap no matter how heavy the band is.
3) Bands where the singer sounds like he is throwing up with every word.

I don't care much for bands that refuse to put a guitar solo in a song either, but they tend to be included in one of the above. Anything along the lines of Helloween, GammaRay, Blind Guardian, Metal Church etc. is my preference. I like female fronted bands, Warlock and Girlschool would be on the top of that list for me. I also like some progressive, Symphony X and Tad Morose would be cool.

Husband, is this you?



This is similiar to what he would say.

[Metalwrath]

Have always wanted to see Tad Morose play.
I've heard he's really hard for musicians to work with though ....
He just quit being in Bloodbound yet again
Hopefulyl he will stick with something and we'll see him on tour.

I think TM was the name of the band, not an individual. Did you mean the singer (now in Bloodbound) is difficult to work with or the guitarist? I'm guessing you mean the guitarist as there's been a small army of vocalists run through the ranks. I'd like to have heard them with Joe from Overkill

[Metalwrath]

Yeah i got mixed up haha.
The singers name is Urban Breed i think.He was in Tad Morose.
And he sang for Bloodbound on the first album and then quit thus resulting in them pulling out of the Metal cruise i went on in 06 and he came back then for the 3rd album.They got confirmed for Masters of Rock this year and a few weeks ago he quit Bloodbound again.
At this stage i think i'm never gonna see him perform live

[Captain Metal]

Yes, Urban Breed is indeed his name. Seems he might be a bit problematic to work with based on his track record. Frankly I'm just waiting for the day Pyramaze makes a similar announcement, since he is also their vocalist as well.

It's a shame you never got to see Tad Morose, as they were pretty kick ass the one time I saw them back in 2002 (I think it was). The rest of the band were cool and friendly after they played, but Urban was nowhere to be seen. It gives one the impression that he's generally anti-social, whether it be with so called band mates or fans. I've heard it from others that had seen them in the past that this was also the same, so it wasn't just a one time thing.

I would love to see Bloodbound play this cruise regardless of this, as the guy they got to replace Urban, sounds pretty capable (Patrik Johansson from Dawn Of Silence). Definitely better then the vocalist on the 2nd album, who was half-assed at best.

[Metalwrath]

Haven't heard the new voclaist.And agreed the vocals were lazy at best for the second album

[Captain Metal]

Check him out here: http://www.myspace.com/dawnofsilence

[BUELL XB12R]

Bands I would like to see most are

Nevermore
Dream Theater
Megadeth
Faith no More
Straight line Stitch
Fear Factory

Does anyone think people like

Steve Vai
Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
Devin Townsend

Are even a possibility? Because I would love to see that kind of stuff too.

All 4 definitely have lots of fans. Devin has been talked about in another thread and I'm sure there are many who would like to hear of him being added. The first three fall into that strange category of guitar virtuosos who tend to have their own rare breed of fans, largely composed of other guitarists but also lots of folks who just like that instrumental based style. We haven't seen or heard any mention of this type of artist for the cruise but who knows? Still lots of time to go.

I had the pleasure of seeing all 3 on one of the G3 tours and it was great. Vai definitely stole the show while Yngwie was sort of like a cartoon character or a sad chariacture of the typical metal guitar genius as he had all the chops, the leather pants and was doing all the guitar spins and hair flinging but was also pretty drunk, has put on a fair bit of weight and kept getting annoyed at the sound guy to turn his monitors and such up higher and finally just cranked the head of his Marshall up so much that it was overloading the sound settings and just sounded awful, cutting in and out and feeding back in a way NOT like guitarists hope for. I hadn't seen him since he opened for Dio decades earlier so it was a bit disappointing. Still a guitar genius of course but just a bit embarrassing to watch the spectacle.

[vainglory]

Since we're voting I want Destroyer666

I've seen them only once of the two times they have played the states.

[Schluckspecht666]

Steve Vai
Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
Devin Townsend

Of the above Devin Townsend yes.

The others, thank you but NO thank you! I saw them with G3 and it was just annoying!

[sideways]

Townsend would be incredible! if only SYL would do another tour

[Disaster Area]

I'll take a little 80's-90's heavy rock;

Y&T
King's X
Lynch Mob

all three are touring so are posibilities

Gotthard (NEVER come to the US!)

Tony MacAlpine or Paul Gilbert for my instrumental fix, or Yngwie for a sideshow...

Oh, maybe Glenn Danzig (haven't seen him since '89-'90), but his shows are getting pretty horrible reviews these days, so maybe not...

[Braindet]

-Devin Townsend
-D.R.I.
-Voivod
-Despised Icon
-Graveworm
-Moonsorrow
-Opeth
-Therion
-Eluveitie
-Apocalyptica....

[Memnoch]

I want more death metal on the list. Preferably some technical dm bands like Dying Fetus, Origin, Decrepit Birth or even Brain Drill. Of the bit more traditional side of dm the Dutch acts Asphyx and Hail of Bullets would be awesome, especially the latter.

[Metal Heart]

Damn, and I thought MY list was long

[Dark Dreams]

Posting that kind of list is just dumb. IMHO

[Schluckspecht666]

Fuck, my finger hurts from scrolling...

[FutileEternity]

Apologies for posting such a long list. Just a shitload of bands that I'm dying to see, along with a little bit of enthusiasm for doing so lol. Would love to see one or two of them end up on here.

[Disaster Area]

Can NOT believe I forgot to add Joe Stump. Reign of Terror just shuffled onto my player and it jogged my memory. as an instrumentalist he would be a MUCH better fit for this cruise as opposed to the aforementioned Vai, Satch. Annnnd apparently I missed that he released a new one on April 17th '09 http://www.joestump.com/index2.htm . I will be acquiring that post haste.

always thought Joe Stump would be what you'd get if you mashed Blackmore and Yngwie together.

oh, for the record, don't try to give Yngwie donuts, EVER... http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=1398

[Angus]

Amon Amarth is great on board but when Children of Bodom are comming, that would make my happy! Other names I would like on board are Vader and Immortal.

[Schluckspecht666]

Apologies for posting such a long list.

You better. My finger still hurts...

[Monmisreal]
