    I would say that the reason of these slow announcements is the UMC is in the driver's seat now. Every god damn band on this planet wants to play on the cruise, meaning UMC can play the agencys out against each other and pay less and gain more.

    I am pretty sure they dont announce anyone until all contacts are finalized. Honestly that can take a lot of time with minor revisions going back and forth. Its standard MO for concert bookings.

    not really,i saw interviews from some bands that said that they were not sure if they'd like it because of being locked up in a cruise for days with nowhere else to go ..

    Ok, not EVERY band, but many.

    I think Tobbe's for the most part correct here. For every band that turns an offer down or doesn't want to play, I'd guess there'd be like 3 more to take its place.

    Anybody who says that has never been on a cruise before. If you're ever in a place with 2000 party people, good music, swimming pools, sun and booze and you feel trapped then you need psychiatric help.

    not really,i saw interviews from some bands that said that they were not sure if they'd like it because of being locked up in a cruise for days with nowhere else to go ..


    Anybody who says that has never been on a cruise before. If you're ever in a place with 2000 party people, good music, swimming pools, sun and booze and you feel trapped then you need psychiatric help.

    That's from a fans point of view, it's a bit different for the bands, though. Some bands don't like interacting with their fanbase so much and being hounded, on a cruise they'd have nowhere to go but their cabin room, so they couldn't enjoy everything else that goes with being on a cruise ship anyway.

    One note about that: We were all kind of expecting that on the first cruise, people hounding the bands, but for the most part everyone was respectful of their space to a good extent once we were all used to being on the ship. Can see how it would frighten some of them though.

    For as long as we've been seeing HAMMERFALL in the title of this thread, maybe it's time we sic MC Hammer on UMC. He can like, ask them for spare change and stuff and strut around in parachute pants in their office.

    Please Hammer, Do Hurt 'Em
    Have a good time...all the time.

    Well if you were a gambling person, I wouldn't bet on any announcement for a few days now.

    The bulk of previous announcements have occured between Monday and Thursday - 32 of them. only 6 announcements have been made Friday-Sunday (4 Friday, none ever on a Saturday, and 2 on Sunday).

    Monday and Thursday both have had 9 announcements each - Monday's all occurring between 4pm and 8pm. So log off the forum now and check in again then, and its likely you won't have missed anything :heavydrink:

    lol, I like that you have so much time and patience to figure all these stats out, Mr. Statistics Man. :heavydrink:

    Maybe there could be a forum bet on when the next announcement will be?

    In the Dutch metal magazine Aardschok there is an add for the cruise. And that lists 16 bands instead of 15.

    Number 16 is Tankard.

    YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!

    I was watching a LOT of videos from the last cruise, and it struck me that at the beginning of the cruise, the bands were apprehensive. During their set, Exodus mentioned they expected to get bugged for autographs while eating, and Amon Amarth made some comments about it also. However, everyone seemed to change their tone after a bit and realize it wasn't going to be the horror story they worried about. (For Amon Amarth, things appeared to completely change when the crowd started singing to them during some technical difficulties.)
    Never take anything I say seriously.

    Am I Evil? I am Dan. Yes, I am! :twisted:

    I haven't checked out any of the videos from the last cruise, I may have to do so. Sounds like they're a pretty interesting watch.

    In that case, watch the Sabaton Pool deck video. That one is awesome!

    I agree Kevin. And re-reading that last announcement:
    Time to let the HAMMERFALL! Shall we stay in this city of long maritime tradition or are we sailing onwards? You shall know soon.

    Sail onwards, or stay?

    I'd say they've raised anchor, scuttled the ship, bought a house and retired!!! :lol:
