    I agree.

    While I enjoyed most of the lineups of 40ish bands on The Majesty, a lot of that was to do with the fact that back then, I had a heap of bands - 9 in fact - that I liked very much and was only the first or second time I had seen them. 2012 had 7 bands fitting that category, 2 in 2013 and 5 in 2014.

    With the passing of years, and 70k's penchant for getting repeats (over half the lineup this year had played 70k previously!!), the likelihood of me getting bucketlist bands that I've never before seen on the lineup drops more and more.


    And statistically :shock: , it makes sense that the number of repeats can only trend upwards each year. With 60+ bands on the lineup every sailing, the pool of available, never-played-before bands drops a little. Sure, Andy could book a lineup of 60 bands ALL new to 70K, but realistically it would probably draw poorly.
    So any reduction of the number of bands playing even further reduces the likelihood of that.


    Agreed.

    However.....If we move to a larger ship in 2020, maybe Oasis-class, I'd hate to see the number of bands increased from 60ish. If the cruise were lengthened, then maybe...but I shudder to think of the increased costs that, plus the new ship, would entail. :shock:

    Didn't get a chance to do the survey, so taking the opportunity here to request that whoever did the sound at the Ice Rink doesn't get anywhere close to the boat ever again. Thanks.

    They need to clone the people that did the sound in the Pyramid. I thought the sound was excellent there this year.

    Agree. It's a shame that Obscura sounded better there, with the obvious space limitations and less people to enjoy the set, than at the Ice Rink.

    Yup. I had to leave the Ice Rink set. It was not good. Pyramid Lounge - shit visibility unless you're on the bar, but fan-fucking-tastic sound. The Aeternam show this year? The Scar Symmetry show last year? Perfection.

    I thought the sound was better this year than in 2017 in the ice rink and Alhambra, by a long shot. In 2017 I walked out of a few sets that I had been anticipating for months, like Kalmah in the Alhambra. This year I had no issues at all.

    The Pyramid was too loud for me to spend much time in there this year though. Even with good earplugs I felt like it was a bad idea. Maybe I'm getting old(er).
    I'm only here to do two things: play the bagpipes and gargle sulphuric acid. Looks like we're almost out of acid.

    I agee that the sound was pretty good overall. The only show I had major sound issue with was the Exodus pool set. I could only hear the snare drum from where I was. Every song sounded like wack, wack wack, wack, wack, wack, wack, wack with little else getting through.

    In 2017, my experience was that a lot of shows in the Alhambra had awful sound, and the Ice Rink was mostly a great experience. In 2018, the two flip-flopped. The Alhambra had pretty good sound and the Ice Rink was mostly awful. If you thought the Ice Rink had good sound this year, you must have been pretty lucky in your show selection in there. There were quite a few epic fails there this year.... (Insomnium, Enslaved, SepticFlesh, Wolfheart all come to mind).

    Ice Rink was down to where you were located. I was at the front for Insomnium in the Ice Rink and it was great. Metsatoll was too. Obscura, I had to leave.

    What's this? Barge to Hell just updated their profile picture on Facebook?

    Is Andy up to his usual trolling again?

    Still waiting for Andy to create the official 70k 2019 Megathread. When he does that we'll know that things are starting to kick into gear.

    I do note that he has visited the forum this week - first time in a month or two. So things are slowly ramping up :)

    Since 70K has been selling out faster, one wonders if Royal might be willing to give Andy another chance at a Barge to Hell (i.e., Cuba) on a smaller ship, say Majesty or Empress.
    If that were the case, if I was UMC, I'd drop the "only death/black metal" focus and make it a varied lineup like 70K, only on a smaller scale...and going to Cuba.

    My thoughts and speculation on this ...
    Andy can sell 5,000 tickets now with some people doing both cruises
    A few bands that are unavailable for February could do early December
    Andy sells Majesty with Cuba and anyone who pays in full will have first shot at 70k even before Gold Level.
    You don’t have to buy both which could have some people doing Majesty and skipping February
    Andy sees how December date sells in 2019 to see if he can move big cruise in 2020 (because of Super Bowl in Miami 2020)
    It is a test run to see how many tickets he can sell so
    ,if he can sellout both and then get the biggest ship in Royal Caribbean for 2020

    I mean it's not a bad idea, though doing two varied lineups (like Pellaz says) would be really hard on people that would then want to do both. If they kept Barge to like, extreme metal, and then put the fluff on 70k, that might be better for me (who doesn't really do the power metal thing). Though I guess it kind of depends on where he draws the line. If, as an example, NeO ended up on one boat, and Mors Principium Est on the other, I'd feel real bad because there's absolutely no way I could do both (though I've been itching to try and do one).

    Though, I'm looking at my current plans for the year, and I only have four days of vacation left to take.

    I'm barely making it to 70k as we speak, so a second cruise would be a big no no for me, regardless of the lineup. I like a lot of genres, so Barge To Hell would have to be a top-tier lineup for me to even consider it

    I was first time on boat 2018 (alone) and of course I had absolutely no idea how awesome this cruise is. It took time to find the right places, to have some kind of plan where to be and when. Even before cruise my plan looked like I would miss some gigs. Well, what I realized.. I was talking with some new friends after or before the shows. So I missed some more shows just because of that. But I would've missed more if the cruise would've been targeted to music style what I like. Barge to Hell would not be a cruise where I would be a first in line. I'm more in to power/symphonic metal. On the other hand, on last cruise sometimes I ended up on being on a venue where I liked listening to some not so vocal lyrics too when the instrument melodies were sounding great! So, I'd say it's not a good idea to have a 60 band "melodic singer cruise" and 60 band "growling singer" cruise.

    My wish.. Do not make a hard split with bands. Keep 70k as it is or soften it to hard rock, then make BtH harder. Who likes both.. If all would be on one cruise a choice should be made anyway :(

    I hope everyone understands what I mean...

    Oh, I wouldn't expect any sort of revival of Barge to Hell until maybe 2020...and that could be what Andy's "big surprise" is for that year. Not the rumored move to a larger ship, but 70K and a reboot of BtH. He could stage the reboot in the fall of 2020 and see how it does...and we know how much he wants to go to Cuba.

    Based on the Facebook discussion about Barge maybe coming back, it looked as if most people would be making a choice to do one or the other, but NOT both...which might not be what Andy and UMC want to see. :shock:

    This would make more sense than doing 2019. But really, this shouldn't surprise UMC. Boat's expensive, especially for the large majority of people that have to fly into the country to do it (the Canadian dollar is NOT getting better).

    I dunno, maybe they don't do it at all. Putting a dividing line in your clientele and your worldwide metal family isn't good for anyone.

    You make a great point on the expense.

    The cruise in general is a lot more expensive, with increased cabin costs, taxes, and hell even the booze is a heck of a lot more expensive than it was in 2012 when BTH was held first time around.

    Add to that the fact that the world economy is a heck of a lot different as well - in 2012 One Australian Dollar equalled about $USD1.10. Now an Aussie dollar only gets about 75 cents US.

    Awfully quiet in here.

    UMC are dragging the chain a bit this year - they still haven't updated the website. Last year it was updated early April (graphic with dates for the next cruise changed, artists page wiped clear etc).

    Godflesh wrote:Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the forum
    Not a creature was stirring, not even Ramon.
    The rumours were sprung by the Bridge with care,
    In hopes that St Andy soon would be there.

    The sailors were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of mosh pits danced in their heads.
    And mamma in her battle vest, and I in my cap,
    Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

    When out on the forum there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
    Away to the phone I flew like a sprinter,
    Tore open the lock screen and threw up the browser.

    With a little old announcement, so lively and nifty,
    I knew in a moment it must be St Andy
    More rapid than eagles his band allusions they came,
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

    "Now Borknagar! Now, Behemoth! now, Metsatoll and Myrkur!
    On, Tankard! On, Vektor! on, on Flotsam and Jetsam!
    To the pool deck! to the top of the ship!
    Now thrash away! Thrash away! Thrash away all!"

    To occupy space, I’ll re-run my Christmas poem. Still relevant, I think.

    UMC are dragging the chain a bit this year - they still haven't updated the website. Last year it was updated early April (graphic with dates for the next cruise changed, artists page wiped clear etc).



    Yeah Dallas!
    Those lazy sods!
    I wanna see a Haiti graphic!
    Or at least, the dates of the cruise.

    I missed the last 2 cruises, so I'm ready for a comeback!

    I wonder why it's so quiet on here...
    These are just some of the thoughts that keep me awake at night when the lights go out!

    Surely this is by far the lastest that Andy's waited to post a "SOON" teaser on here for the upcoming cruise, let alone the first band announcement.

    Statsman? Beuller? Beuller?
    I'm only here to do two things: play the bagpipes and gargle sulphuric acid. Looks like we're almost out of acid.

    Still got a ways to go to be 'worse' than the 2013 cruise.

    2013 cruise first announcements dropped on the 27th of June.
