Surprised to not see Be’lakor on your list! I thought you had gotten more into them once you went and checked out their older material. Of Breath and Bone is def top of the line melodeath. Probably should have been on the list, really. I think I was confusing them with another band that is in studi...

Last gig: Boat. Nothing comes through Canada in February. Not that I blame them.
Next gig: Swallow the Sun and Children of Bodom tonight.

From this list, I am very excited by: Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Gojira, Katatonia, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Soilwork, Allegaeon, Chthonic, Somewhat excited by: Amon Amarth, Aeternam, Children of Bodom, Avantasia, Melechesh, November's Doom, Trollfest And, would go to see but get to see on a fairly...

31 Gojira
20 Katatonia
17 Soilwork
16 Melechesh
15 Aeternam
14 Chthonic
12 November's Doom

How about that, my actual wishlist is well represented in the Top 100.

EDIT: Oh wait, Top 20. Read the post. Eh. Not that excited about the top 20 honestly.

Ah ha, so that makes June 22nd the mathematically most likely guess!

Even after removing the first one the trend isn't looking good for the impatient :-)

What happens if you remove 2019? Looks like the trend would flatten out to around 225 days to go.

- Edge of Sanity (hey, a guy can dream for a reunion, right?)

Everyone can... *looks at own signature*

St. Maurice Beach Inn, it's cheap, it's on the beach, and the Uber to the port is like ten dollars. Contrary to what Dallas says, I hate Miami and love Fort Lauderdale. Though it depends on what you're looking for. Do you want to party with a bunch of people in an over crowded outdoor bar in an expe...

Children of Bodom - Hexed

Give it to me straight, Sarge. How bad is it?

Lots of Behemoth in 2015. That pool deck set stuck with more people than just me, I see.

This was really really hard, I just thought about which shows I remember most fondly. 5. Behemoth, 2015 4. Scar Symmetry, 2017 3. Fleshgod Apocalypse, 2019 2. Allegaeon, 2017 (even though I only went to one set, that Pyramid Lounge set was INSANE) 1. Insomnium, 2018 Too many honorable mentions to na...

I think the problem is that a lot of us are into obscure shit, which means it's harder for us to converge on a band :P +1 I find wishlists very resourceful tho. I check wishlists of those having similar bands with mine and listen to the ones i haven't heard of. Yeah! There are definitely bands I've...

I think the forum is in a "healthy" status. I wish more users would join us, but it seems like it's not so popular nowadays. The Facebook page bores me sometimes, mainly because lots of goofy stuff get posted. I feel a "seriousness" in this forum I quite enjoy. I am of the new generation users (n00...

Never heard of that band before.

It is definitely still anyone's race.

Plus, I am an 'old school' kind of guy. I'd like to keep the 70K forum alive, and drive people to register here to make their wishlists :)

If only registration was working

Metal is essentially the only reason I still have a Facebook account. It's the best place for tour and band news. Follow the pages of the bands you like and you'll see basically everything.

I wish I could get off Facebook, I really do...

Still mad the mens tank didn't have the bands on the back though >.>

You mean the women's tank? Or both?

I exclusively wear tanktops because shirts are dumb with my boobs. I was very upset, and made that clear in the survey.

Just found out I am having a girl!

Congratulations! That must be exciting :)

Nah, I think that's a low estimate Statsman.

Number of wishlist submissions by Easter

200 Godflesh
175 Phoenix
150 cowboy71

Bumping up from all the other posts to remind everyone that this ends on Friday!

Well hooray!

And I agree, lots of good contenders this year. Would hate to disqualify one because they misunderstood.

Perpetual Warfare just posted something on their Facebook page asking people to vote. Oh well. Expect a possible wave of votes for the band and my entire disapproval and thus disqualification. Sorry guys... not the spirit of the award. Source: https://www.facebook.com/perpetualwarfareband/posts/101...

I like how we're iterating upon the wishlist. Good job, everyone.
My actual wishlist is in my signature. Don't add it though.

This numbered system seems to me like a bunch of horseshit. Granted, I have not been on the cruise since this system was implemented... The only reasonable suggestion is now that the 70K team is growing, why not have multiple merch points?... Have your 70K t-shirts at every merch point, but designa...

Wow, lots of bands in contention this year! This should be an exciting vote

Yeah, I don’t see how Phoenix could top this year, where all the stars seemed to align just for her. Pretty much, yeah. I love all you fuckers but traveling to the US is becoming harder and harder. I'll take a year to save up for Japan, see if some stuff happens. And maybe I'll still pop down for t...

Good, I have MANY OPINIONS.

Woohoo!

I only saw one of these bands and it was Bodyfarm, and they were fairly decent fellows so they get my vote.

I feel like we've previously ruled out bands for having very well known members in them... And Cyhra has an ex-In Flames in their ranks. Though I could be mis-remembering. I saw exactly one band on this list on the boat. If anyone has a reference on this please let me know so we can decide whether ...

Raven was on board this year. Septicflesh and Sabaton has an album out this year? Details please I missed this announcement.

Yup! Sabaton have been posting on Facebook that they're in studio and the album should be out this year. No more information yet though.

Yeah, I like it. I think we should keep doing it. It's always been a forum thing, even before Andy got involved (and before too much interference). So what if it means more to the bands - it still means something to us. If no one has polling rights on the forum anymore, surveymonkey or google forms ...

11 with over 1,000 posts

One of which posted an anti-wishlist

2015: Went for the experience 2017: Amorphis, honestly. Kamelot, Arch Enemy, Scar Symmetry, MPE, and OG all came later but with Amorphis on broad I knew I was in for a good time. 2018: Again, not a year where a band drew me, but rather some shit life stuff. And then Sabaton and Insomnium got booked....

Yeah I think the Cripper award sadly has lost its sense of official-ish-ness due to the 'vote stuffing', but I don't see the harm of running it 'just in fun'. Wasn't it always supposed to be "just in fun"? I'm happier with the award now that it isn't officially supported. It means it's kept to the ...

Already waiting to get on broad. As predicted, he is in fact wearing a Razor Ramon shirt

Phoenix you got a few selfies with people in the bar right? I think you took one with me!

I did get one worth keeping! I should post my 70k photos on Facebook...

Well, I know who are going to win but, I also know who I'm going to vote for.

Not gonna lie, I have NO idea who is eligible for Cripper this year. Haven't been checking the listeners or facebook likes.

... Anybody? Statsman?

They actually did two cakes this year. There was one on boarding day, and another one on day 3(?). I have no idea when they were actually served though, so I didn't get any. I remember there being devil horn ice sculptures on boarding day my first year (2016). They did it more than once than, becau...
