The BARGE TO HELL 2012 Megathread

[KDibildeaux]

Yay! Moonspell!

I missed the first 70k, so I'm happy to have a chance to see them now. Finally, a repeat band!

They were one of the highlights for me on the first cruise. They played Wolfheart and Irreligious.

I loved them!

[KDibildeaux]

I want a cheeseburger!!!!

[Metaladdict187]

this line up is killing me LOL. I need to win some lotteries fast LOL

[KevinP]

this death and thrash fan only likes the Enslaved announcement so far.....

Sepultura - is a joke and cover band right now, no interest
Enslaved - not bad, never seen them so would check them out
Morgoth - love 'em, but they don't sell a cruise for me and I'm seeing them in a few months at MDF, so really just icing on the cake if I went
Possessed - I'll keep an open mind, but without Mike Torrao it seems kinda pointless. Only Jeff Beccera (vocalist) as the original member? Feels like another cover band
Sacred Reich - eh, neither love nor hate, a few decent tunes, would check 'em out if nothing was going on and I could put my feet in the pool
Suck Feet Blunder - one of the worst and most laughable bands on the planet. A disgrace they are even on this ship. Give me Blackguard instead
Moonspell - not bad, but nothing to get me all excited. Saw one set on the first cruise and they were good, I enjoyed it. But don't really need to see them again

Still a long ways to go but I was hoping they would come out strong with some kick ass announcements

other than me loving enslaved, i'm with ya.

[vikingbitch]

Give me Blackguard instead

I'd laugh sooooo hard if Blackguard were the next band announced

Is anyone else a little bit turned on by how they're doing this with announcements? I COULD GO ALL NIGHT BABY :boobs:

[mooyagi]

Artillery. I recall a few forumites hoping for them.

[vikingbitch]

The finnish hubby is going to flip over Artillery. Artillery getting announced basically does the foreplay for me on Barge


(I'm going to work on getting my head out of the announcement gutter now )

[WizardBeast]

artillery is ok but i don't see what the fuss is about with them.

[mooyagi]

I wonder how many bands we'll get before they stop

[vikingbitch]

I wonder how many bands we'll get before they stop

all of them. all of the ones I want.

We'll find out soon!

Are you liking the bands so far? :)

[Laura]

PARADISE LOST!

Only have a few of their albums - but what I know is awesome! (Draconian Times & Icon) Also never saw them so that is a HUGE plus.

MOONSPELL is another great add - them on the pool deck for the first 70k was pure magIc!



And, can't forget my fave announcement so far - ENSLAVED - who I blabbed about on the previous page and several other places on these forums over time.

Don't know the other bands really, but based on my past 2 cruise experiences -
"IT'S" ALL GOOD folks

Happy so far

Sepultura: I know they are considered a cover band without Max, but I am SO EXCITED about this. For the chance to hear songs like Breed Apart and Desperate Cry live... I love Sepultura, cover band or not this was a killer first announcement for me.
Enslaved: HELL YES. Two sets for sure.
Morgoth: Not familiar with them, will check out some of their stuff.
Sacred Reich: schwiiiiiing. Will definitely catch at least one set.
Possessed: have listened to a lot of their stuff and enjoy them but have never really gotten that into them. I'm pretty stoked to catch a set of theirs.
Six Feet Under: beer time!
Moonspell: YES!!! It was actually your unicorn boy toy that got me into Moonspell many moons ago, didn't really get into them until after the first cruise so this is a great announcement to me.
Artillery: was listening to them this morning funnily enough. Looking forward to at least one set, also very happy for Ville and encourages the fact I might see a balding Floridian in a yellow vegemite shirt on the cruise which is fun
Paradise Lost: Never got into them but have heard good things, will check out (I think they're doom right?)

Okaaaaayyy... WISHLIST ANDY. LOOK AT IT. LOVE IT. MAKE LOVE TO IT. THEN ANNOUNCE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[WizardBeast]

yeah, the lineup doesn't have me super excited....but this is UMC, and i usually end up liking the lineups a lot when it's all said and done!

VADER...now that would be NICE.

[vikingbitch]

VADER...now that would be NICE.

[Ecliptica]

Obviously not going on BTH, but I definitely urge everyone to go see Moonspell. IMO, after Tyr, they played the best sets on the first 70000 Tons cruise.


EDIT: I actually really like Enslaved and Paradise Lost too. Hmm. . .

[KevinP]

Hoping Paradise Lost,does an old school set of Lost paradise and Gothic only (or mostly)

Artillery is my favorite thrash band of all time. Excited to see them at MDF, so Having them on the cruise is the first band that is a HIGHLIGHT for me.

Marlo, Ville hates thrash, since when did tha girlie metal lover like Artillery?

[vikingbitch]

Hmm. Swing and a miss then on that one. Could have sworn he had mentioned them as a wishlist band somewhere, Metalcamp thread or something.

Too many posts, too little mental bandwidth to contain all of them

[WizardBeast]

VADER...now that would be NICE.

if we get Vader i'll jump around a la Marlo-finding-out-that-kataklysm-is-onbroad.....

[vikingbitch]

VADER...now that would be NICE.

would love to see that for you!

And if announced, Vader date? Yes?

probably confused them with Hail of Bullets, another Kevin wish list band, which is on Ville's wish list...

That's some Polack loving right there

[KDibildeaux]

Damnit UMC!!!! Paradise Lost was supposed to be on 70k. You are making this very hard for me

[mooyagi]

Moonspell: YES!!! It was actually your unicorn boy toy that got me into Moonspell many moons ago, didn't really get into them until after the first cruise so this is a great announcement to me.

I always get the ladies into the good stuff

[mooyagi]

I've seen Paradise Lost before. Not entirely my thing but the crowd seemed to enjoy them. Then again, it was a set full of their newer material and very little from the old cds.

[KDibildeaux]

all of them. all of the ones I want.

Not really

I think I could hear a blood vessel in Rhia's brain popping all the way here in Canuckland at seeing another polack joke


4 more minutes...........

[Ingrid]

Hm, for an 'Extreme' cruise, the line up is a bit disappointing.
In my eyes, this could be a 70.000 tons line-up as well.

Nevertheless, most bands confirmed are pretty awesome, but I'm afraid I won't have the money to go there.

I feel like several of the bands should have been on 70k

[mooyagi]

Never heard of Loudblast

[KDibildeaux]

Me neither.


And I'm still wondering why doom and thrash are being considered extreme metal

[mooyagi]

Just listened to them. PASS!

[vikingbitch]

A french band. Ew.

Checking out a song now and actually quite enjoying it, but.... a french band?? Really??

Talk about the wussification of an extreme metal cruise

[KevinP]

Never heard of Loudblast

You remember my clever little hint a few days/weeks ago where I just randomly posted a link for them ?

Solid band that I always liked that was always underappreciated and under the radar. Nice addition for me.

[WizardBeast]

Loudblast - i checked them out and they are a mejor MEH band for me!

MARLO'S WISHLIST RULES!!!!!!! WISHLUST! I WILL MAKE LOVE TO IT IF ANDY WILL NOT!
