Fuck yes!!!! Behemoth!!!!!!! Now I don't feel as bad about missing them last week :bmhorns:

by **Warphine** » Tue May 01, 2012 1:56 pm

Is it just me or is sleep going to be nearly non-existant on BTH? I'm not complaining by any means... my plan? take a few days off AFTER BTH for sleep. haha

BEHEMOTH???? :shock:

The last 2 announcements have been very awesome (ATG & Behemoth).

Since the last few announcements have been paying attention to my wishlist, Carcass or Bolt Thrower next please. :beerwink:

Keep in mind that these numbers give the maximum/worst case scenario for remaining cabins, but we know that there are fewer because at least some cabins in most of the sections have been already sold, it's just that the sections haven't sold out yet. Also, I'm not sure how they figure which Junior and Grand Suites are doubles/triples/quads. From what I've seen, it appears that any of them could be converted to more than doubles so I am assuming that all three sections tie into the exact same cabins.

Nice to see someone taking over the reins for me for BTH statistician :)

Looking forward to getting back into stating it up for 70K 2013 though

Even if I don't go :(

Very sweet that we got another announcement,

On another note, UMC just get more awesome by the day. I thought I'd made my bank transfer Tuesday of last week and yesterday when I checked my account they had taken out the money but had made the transfer fee $20 more than what they said it was. So I called and left a voicemail. Today I get a call that I missed cause I was at work saying that the transfer didn't go through and that the fee was more than what they thought because it was an international wire but that they would refund for customer service. So when I get home to check my bank account I see that not only did they not refund the fee, but also the transfer money is back in my account, minus $30. Those fuckers! Why didn't they return the full amount and refund the fee? So they've taken an extra $75 for a job that didn't even work and why the hell did they not notify me that it didn't go through sooner? This whole time I thought I'd made a payment. Of course the banks all close before I can get home. Anyways, I spoke with Blake and he was extremely nice and helpful and said not to worry and demand they return my full amount first off. I love UMC! Wish I could say the same about my effing bank :evil:

We're already past my birthday and Christmas is after Barge :cry:

(although I still haven't forgotten my Christmas gift from last year with Kataklysm announcement :lol:

by **Ogre** » Wed May 02, 2012 7:16 am

UMC is picking off my top wishlist bands like sharp shooters. Bloodbath, Bolt Thrower, Autopsy, Dimension Zero, Grave are among those still not-yet-sailing. UMC...lock and load! (And muchas gracias!)

I'll take Amon Amarth for 500 Alex

What is the 3rd band that I would add from my wishlist after Carcass & Bolt Thrower?

:cheers:

"OVER 40 BANDS"

So I'm guessing thats a sign there will be 42 bands again even for Barge :)

The new ad on Blabbermouth says 40 bands, 80 shows, on 3 stages.....on 4 days!

FYI: UMC, shouldn't that be in 4 days instead of on 4 days?

They always say 40. Even in past years afterwards they say in interviews 40 bands when there were 42.

by **sar01061969** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:39 pm

If you actually see the ad on blabbermouth it says over 40 bands over 80 shows so they are actually saying more than 40 bands

Not the new large banner that appears at the top of the page. It does say 40 bands and 80 shows. Doesn't really matter. UMC has advertised the last two cruises as 40 bands and we've gotten 42. No reason to think they won't do the same this time.

by **Laura** » Wed May 02, 2012 5:29 pm

Upfront statement: I have no interest or intention in getting in any kind of a protracted pissing contest with anyone on what they consider the definition of "extreme metal" to be. :lol:

..but in my view... the embodiment of the term is this *ONE* man (and his band/music) :mrgreen:

Still can't believe they will be on Barge!

by **TOM CRUISE** » Wed May 02, 2012 6:45 pm

when is the barge forums going live ? "soon" ? :roll:

Apparently the main Barge page got it's text updated, and I think it was in direct response to the "competition":

See each of the 40 bands play two live shows on two different days. That's 80 shows with unrestricted festival access to the three stages, each with it's own unique atmosphere:

The luxurious "A Chorus Line" theater where we spare no expense to have the benches removed on the floor. Who actually wants assigned seating in front of the stage at a Metal show?

That line in bold totally has to be a dig at the Mayhem Cruise.

Without a doubt. They updated the 70000 Tons main page with similar wording as well.

by **SatansWrath** » Thu May 03, 2012 5:00 am

Jesus fucking asschrist..........Damn Now I starting to really envy the Barge people...Behemoth. The band I wish for to meet most after Turisas. Well I hope you save Turisas for 70k or I will defiantly have to go to Barge =)

by **mooyagi** » Thu May 03, 2012 4:27 pm

Can't stand Napalm Death but I love what UMC did with the announcement. Suck it, Mayhem Cruise!

UMC wrote:This is BARGE TO HELL, The World's Most Extreme Metal Cruise, where you get 4 nights of unrestricted festival access to all the stages with no assigned seating or set dinner times. Because we want to make sure you can enjoy your very own NAPALM DEATH not only once, but twice!!!

NAPALM DEATH!!!!!!

FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waaaaaa???

Huge fan of this band and have never seen them....
I seriously never need to attend any more music festivals after Barge :beerwink:

Going out on a very high, extreme note.
:metalguy:

by **Evil Red** » Thu May 03, 2012 4:59 pm

Holy crap, I'm SO excited!!!

I've seen every tour since I was 18 or so except when they played Vancouver a few months ago. I was so sad having to miss them for the first time ever. AHHHHHHHHH THIS RULES!!!!!!!! :deathmetal:

by **Bentz!** » Thu May 03, 2012 5:02 pm

Napalm Death is another fantastic add for "Da Barge"

As Kevin has pointed out on the book of faces, Lock Up has a few members onbroad now as well.
I wonder if they'll get added sometime before the boat leaves port.

Enjoy!

another bullet dodged for 70k! yay!

by **vikingbitch** » Thu May 03, 2012 6:08 pm

Nice add on Napalm! They're a weird band for me due to the fact that I don't like their older material nearly as much as I enjoy their newer releases. Like a fine wine :chug:

by **rwalters** » Thu May 03, 2012 6:13 pm

Being in a elevator alone with Barney would kinda freak me out :lol:

This lineup is amazing.

HAHAHAA totally

But, the more bullets dodged, the more likely 70k is of having a lineup that I'm gonna have a sad about missing :cry:

Napalm Death, fuck yes! I haven't seen them since the Harmony Corruption tour, loooong overdue!!!

I'm so excited for this cruise you guys. When I signed up for 70k last year, it was mostly on faith that the lineup would get better (and it did), but this year I signed up with an already solid lineup and I'm beyond stoked for what's to come.

Tell me about it, to think of how many bands we have left - I'm not going to be able to eat, sleep or drink (last one wouldn't be a bad thing

) AT ALL on this cruise. Scheduling is going to be a nightmare and a half which I can imagine will be my ONLY complaint.

To this day, he's the ONLY person I've EVER used the word 'gentlemen' to describe someone. Love that guy. Really one of a kind.
