Delain and Battle Beast ate supporting Sabaton, so they're out

Sad Panda :(

Epica, Mayan, Dragonforce, Battle Beast, Sabaton, Delain, Hammerfall. That is 7 guaranteed two-setters for me ruled out.

But... But you're still coming, aren't you?

Got a little excited about Lake of Tears ,made a wish list and bam couple knock-outs already.Feeling better about waiting until late Oct. to make my decision ,mainly because I am there for the bands.Paying someboby 2 and 1/2 times what a normal cruise would cost just doesn't make sense after going three years in a row.I don't think line-up will come anywhere close to 2012.And think a lot of the bands I enjoyed a one and done ,thinking if these ruled out bands grow ,see quite a few people dropping out also.

Well for Statswife its all about the experience so she is keen regardless, for Statsman though I would REALLY like a few more from my wishlist (see my signature). A bit too much red (ruled out) compared to yellow (confirmed) at the moment for my liking!!!

Or, you know, that more green bands are announced.

by **LadyBlackfhyre** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 5:19 pm

I am very sad Sabaton will not be on the cruse, I was positive that they would be.. super lame :(

by **D.T. Metal** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:16 pm

For those who fancy the "harder" bands - Morbid Angel can be ruled out. David Vincent has a longstanding commitment at NAMM and since the cruise is at the same time they can't. As a matter of fact ANY band or musician who you come across announcing that they will be at the NAMM trade show in 2015 can be ruled out.

This also means the infamous Punchy won't be on the boat to entertain us during karaoke.

What's the thought on Kamelot? I just noticed them in enterthevault's upcoming tours. From what I know, they were announced for 70k 2 (?) years ago, then the band said they weren't on, and an eternity later 70k updated the band roster and took them off...but then video footage was found of the guitarist saying how they were booked for 70k, which means Kamelot probably decided to spontaneously ask for more money.

Anyways, does anyone know if they have a chance at being on, or is there bad blood or something?

This happened last year, and for what I read from Youngblood I don't think they would be willing to be onbroad any time soon.

Here is the interview I believe will clear things up a bit ,go to this page , http://www.metalcovenant.com/pages/index.htm search interviews Thomas Younglood Kamelot 1-Oct. 2013- ,doubt that they would be booked after being so honest about what happened.Heard some of the bands had a close experience last year.Bands had a verbal agreement to do cruise months before they where announced and then couldn't get UMC to nail down any details.Some bands booked their own travel on blind faith even.The manager for DTA had to come close to announcing on their own to get a chance for their fans to get on the boat.Don't know about the video you are referring do ,but that could have been from the 2012 cruise,didn't see any videos from any band about 2014.

I don't want Kamelot onbroad again. The whole mess from last time was a little silly, and I've found them to be very unapproachable and standoffish in person on multiple occasions.

In short, I feel like they are buttholes. This is my word of the day.

Had the (mis)fortune of sitting at a table next to Thomas, Sean and Casey in one of the eating areas on the 2012 cruise.

Just eavesdropping, as you do - Thomas came across as an absolute DICK. Sean and Casey really really nice guys though.

I'm 100% OK with Kamelot not being on the cruise ever again. There are better, weenier bands.

I know a lot of people want Wintersun but they seem to be a band that is on the verge of imploding soon.I doubt they could even afford to do this cruise unless UMC paid them a lot.

Jari's whimsical requirements for making music will end up destroying the band indeed.

by **cowboy71** » Sat Aug 02, 2014 2:59 pm

I agree - I think we can rule Wintersun out UNLESS Andy likes them and REALLY wants them on broad.

I don't think Jari's rant in itself precludes them from being on broad, but reading between the lines I do not think Wintersun would do the cruise unless there was money in it for them.

Maybe this kind of vacation is just what Jari needs to relieve some of his stress.

by **Stained Class** » Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:27 pm

Well, they have been offered every year.

This is the important point here.
Jari has expressed interest in the cruise idea but has stated his reasoning for saying no is due to the mixing process of Time 1, and now Time 2.

It would be totally great to see them, but I'm not holding my breath any more.

by **taketheday** » Wed Aug 20, 2014 1:05 pm

I doubt that Krokus are on board as they are doing the Monsters Of Rock cruise in April. Not sure they would do two cruises in 3 months

by **MikeB** » Sat Sep 06, 2014 10:07 pm

We all know it, but Chimaira are out

by **Capt.Howdy** » Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:49 am

Why do you think can these bands be ruled out? At least for Morgana Lefay I haven't seen any other dates for this time.

Anthrax are on Moterboat ?
That does not rule them out but Limets the chances

by **DJ Old Man Stares** » Mon Sep 08, 2014 7:52 pm

We can probably rule out Metal Church since they jumped the gun on announcing themselves. Thanks Brave Words...you assholes!

by **cowboy71** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 1:45 pm

Added Havok to the ruled-out list.

A cruiser spoke to them and they said they would decline if asked, as they will be concentrating on their next album.

by **cowboy71** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 7:24 pm

MARDUK and INQUISITION are touring Australia in January. Last date is Sunday 18th of January.

Does not in any way rule them out of 70k as a flight to the US on the 19th of January arrives on the 19th of January. But it must make them a touch unlikely.

by **Stained Class** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 11:29 am

Well, Falconer can be ruled out forever.

Looks like they're playing ProgPower next year.

It's their last show at prog power. I'm sure they're under contract not to play any other festivals.

In the band's statement, they mentioned that they will play a few festivals in 2015, not just ProgPower. PP will be the last one. That at least leaves the upcoming cruise as a possibility.

by **DJ Old Man Stares** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 7:16 am

Never really got into Falconer but it would be really cool to see one of their last sets. If they got added, that would be pretty cool.

Oh, I never read the statement. Ok yeah maybe they are a good possibility then!

it wasn't until right know that I realised people might have thought they'd only play Prog Power
there will be a few other shows before that final one

by **Ecliptica** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 2:56 pm

Yeah, they said they've been in contact with "other festivals", so I actually think Falconer is more likely than not.

Or it's just wishful thinking.

Either way. Favorite band. Would probably explode in sexual ecstasy if they got announced for 70K. Even though I haven't booked yet ;-)
