Well, the Skipper said to do all of the above, we should have no problem obliging. Based on the music being played all over the ship, you know UMC is paying attention. I heard 4 Artillery songs in the same day, Unexpect a few times and even a freaking MADDER MORTEM the final morning.

And since I took the last 2 cruises by myself, I figured I can't really justify going on a 3rd one solo and will convince the wife to go. She likes to drink, so she'd fit right in with the rest of you maniacs (but Andy might have to schedule a Meet N Greet time for all the questions she is bound to be asked ). And being the parents of a special needs child, we really don't get as much time to do stuff as a "couple" as we used to/should.

BUT the only way we could rationalize a "hit" to our family budget would be IF:

MADDER MORTEM and/or BOLT THROWER were booked.

And hopefully the UMC Crew saw all the Stroopwafels flying around the ship or the cleaning crew told them about all the sticky caramel on the floor.

Not much to bitch and moan about (yet), but wishlisting? Now that I can do...

See sig, Skip. Like Kev said, two cruises in a year is a tough hit, but if UMC releases the first list of booked bands and among those names are a few of these: Hypocrisy, Bloodbath, Rotting Christ, Autopsy, At the Gates, Bolt Thrower, I'll happily book for three on day one!!

[KevinP]

MY DYING BRIDE should be the "house band" on every future UMC cruise.

I mean is there any reason why they wouldn't be asked back ???

[Monmisreal]

^

There arent that many bands id love to see every time but I agree with that one. No more gimping their set though! I dont mind Nightwish but im annoyed that I found out they dipped into a MDB set time

Seconded! UMC said no repeats on consecutive 70Ks, but B2H is not a 70K (captain obvious statement of the day, you're welcome), hint hint, Skip. If MDB were booked on B2H, that's just another reason to book that bitch now!

Id be pissed if they get announced for barge just because it falls on such an inconvenient time for me

[KevinP]

Well apparently Katakylsm were asked back. I didn't put MY DING BRIDE in my signature since I wanted to stress new bands not on previous cruises.

But if MDB were booked for Barge there would be no hesitation in booking immediately. They are the only band that has been on either cruise that would do that for!!!!!!

Maybe we should turn this thread into the "BOOK MY DYING BRIDE AGAIN, like NOW!!!!!!" campaign

[kjaxin]

Aren't you going to MDF also Kevin?

[KevinP]

Aren't you going to MDF also Kevin?

Yes but MDF doesn't have MDB. UMC needs to get MDB for the BTH like ASAP

[Ogre]

I may have to restructure my sig, because Vallenfyre would be an excellent addition to B2H!!!

[Ogre]

Wishlisting isn't limited to bands, eh? Rolling Rock beer on B2H!!

then hopefully they wouldn't have to cut Crown of Sympathy from their set....

The sooner UMC announces MDB the sooner I can pound Hamish with song requests

hopefully he won't see me welling up with tears again from the stage - BUSTED!

[nikki1077]

I'd be totally cool with amon amarth and cannibal corpse being on barge to hell, just sayin.

Awe, I heard that you did that *CANADIAN HUG ATTACK*

[ttiger]

In my eyes this new cruise is a very bad idea. You should not split metal genre. The beauty of 70k was the metal diversity. Im fan of nightwish but also fans of My dying Bride or Dark Funeral so the fact that those band were together on a ship is like a dream come true. But splitting extreme metal to built own cruise is just a bad idea and will spilt the metal crowd. A 5 day 70K with a special extreme metal days would be better. Also people will have to split their money. when you are not living in the USA, this is a very exprensive exprience. 70k cost me abour 3500$ and ill not have another 3500$ to participate to Barge to hell.

Well I understand your concern. But UMC is a business and business economics (in their eyes) dictate there is $$$ to be made.

Since I have very little travel costs getting to the port as compared to most others, I'm all for it (at least on paper right now).

Kampfar pleeaaaaseee
And Rotting Christ!!!!

Juuno, too! She actually had to go sit down after the meet and greet, my little starstruck sweetheart, lol. She's an MDB fangirl, thru & thru.

[mooyagi]

Kampfar pleeaaaaseee
And Rotting Christ!!!!

Those would be two fantastic bands right there. Then again, I'm kinda hoping the Barge lineup sucks for me so I don't feel bad about missing it, since I plan on just staying with the "traditional" 70K cruises for the forseeable future. Soooooo, Kampfar and Rotting Christ for 70K 2013!

Yeah, me too.......

[Ravenlord]

Yeah, I'm the same. Just hopeful that the sprinkle of heavy stuff might have something I like. At least I know that 70K will likely have a lineup that I'm happy about.

So now that we've got a lot of the mainstream power metal acts out of the way, hopefully we'll get to see some interesting smaller bands next year
