Does the Schooner Bar still exist? It had lots of seating and usually has a chill bartender, but everyone hangs out on the promenade when they get on the boat.

Well I'm pretty sure you can recognize me and Phoenix!

Dallas too. He's the looker in the bunch.

One thing I find a little bit funny about this though - one of the bands that we consider will be 'headliners', SOULFLY, has the second LEAST requests

And the #4 most requested band probably gets 45 minutes. Headlining means nothing to cruisers, we like the good obscure shit.

For those interested, that is now 29 of the 34 bands on the lineup that are in the top 300 most requested bands.

Pretty good strikerate!

And half (17, by my very quick count?) are in the top 100. 3 in the top 10. Seems good.

Thanks! I'll take a look at that when I have reliable Wifi and report back.

Rotting Christ, Rivers of Nihil, I'd like the latter. But given the extreme nature of the last few announcements I assume this will be lighter.

I haven't heard Bloodbath before, so I'm looking forward to checking these guys out.

A temporary fix 'could' be this. Click on the 'Filters' icon in the upper right hand corner. Uncheck the box the 'Cruiser Organzied', that should remove these from the list. If there is some issue with your preferences being saved...this issue could come back. Did the app ask you for permission to ...

How do I make bands/events I "Wont" see go away when I open the app? Hell, I keep trying to grey out that section and it keeps coming back every ten seconds anyway. iPhone or Android? If you click the won’t filter icon, they should go away and stay that way. Even after you quit and restart the app ...

Correct me if I am wrong, but before last year, a "sell out" was never declared until about a week or so before the cruise. So if we discount last year, things are progressing normally. I 'believe' this is true from what I recall, but if someone has evidence or recollection to the contrary I am all...

Accept- 1 Arkona- 3 (I'm seeing them soon) Coroner- 1 Dark Funeral - 1 Delain- 0 Eluveitie- 4 Ensiferum- 1 Fleshgod Apocalypse - 3 Gloryhammer- negative 10 God Dethroned - 3 Grim Reaper - 0 Heidevolk - 2 In Vain - 5 Kalmah - 2 (dependent on sound) MaYan - 0 Ne Obliviscaris - 4 Nile - 2 Obituary - 3 ...

I can't get into these Paradise Lost guys. Is there a good jumping off point? Something I'm missing? Try listening to their magnum opus Draconian Times So this is better, and I should also try Plague Within, but from what I can tell their recent setlists only play one song from this album. Might no...

(I think she meant Borknagar not Paradise Lost )

I'm going to pretend for a moment that it's perfectly reasonable to expect Blind Guardian on board.

I mean it is. I saw them onbroad in 2015.

Probably Blood Red Throne.

But I want BabyMetal

Tristania is really hit and miss for me, but the songs I like I do really like. Will try to catch a set.

I just don't think it's Paradise Lost because it would be two bands of similar genre (disclaimer: according to research, not first hand knowledge) back to back. Andy likes to change things up, at least a little bit. I think Psycroptic or Primordial are more likely. And I can still hold out hope for ...

I've noticed that on desktop computer and on my phone in landscape mode (just now with the megathread).

Yeah, that just happened to me too.

I'd love to see Pain again. So I can make up for the mistake of staying at Kalmah's first set and not going to Pain's in 2017.

I... who?

I would even say that the latest MPE has a lot of symphonic elements. Eternal Tears of Sorrow as well.

Yes, but the orchestra doesn't swell every 30 seconds and toss in an operatic chorus because it feels like it.

I had previously discovered that I didn't like symphonic black metal. As I listen to MaYan, I don't think that's true anymore. I just don't think I like symphonic metal anymore. Period.

Except Kamelot. Why do I still like Kamelot but no other symphonic metal band? Nobody knows. Not even me.

Although I hear the 70k girls will spray you down with sunscreen?

If you can find 'em. I barely saw any this year. Also, if you don't have allergies. All of the sunscreen I tried to find on Hollywood Beach had aloe in it, and I'm allergic.

I don't have much opinion on the F (Fallujah are out), but yeah this lineup is looking really solid so far. Maybe the second best I've been on (2017, 2018, 2015 is my current order).

OUT - Any bands announced for Full Metal Cruise (Tri State Corner, Dio Legacy, Iron Savior, Savage Messiah, Ugly Kid Joe, Steel Panther, Backyard Babies, Omnium Gatherum, The Wild!) Why are you ruling this group out? Omnium, specifically, is on Full Metal Cruise and also just announced Nordic Metal...

One for Dallas! Good enough!

I'm blanking on F bands that aren't Fleshgod right now. Fffffffff.... Fall Out Boy?

Gonna be Marduk next, but I'd only care if it was Mors. Though I guess Melechesh would also be sweet. Though geez, you know what all these bands have in common? They're all REPEATS. I’m kind of expecting Mors myself. What makes you think Marduk? Because that would bring me joy! Also, cost issues wi...

The main thread won't even load for me on mobile anymore

What gives? Are we actually getting a drought of announcements this year ON TOP OF them starting the process off two months late?

If we don't get bands by tomorrow, I don't know what their excuse is. That would be some bullshit.

Deep silence,outside of the Public Sales announcement,no band ,no 4 months until cruise and no calendar girl posts.

They posted the calendar girl on Facebook. Andy stopped posting the pool girls on the forum when it became PROFOUNDLY obvious that no one here cared.

Well it doesn't look completely sold out YET, so there's that.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/ ... -1.4846725

In either case, we're screwed this year. :lol: Eh, what do I care. I get NeO, I get Persefone, and I get In Vain on a boat. I get some good folk metal, and some VERY high quality extreme melodic metal. If Andy throws in Bodom or another two bands from my wishlist, I've got no cause for complaints.

I was going to post a picture of that Always Sunny conspiracy guy referencing how you just have to dig DEEPER, but the only pictures I could find were massive and I couldn't resize them.

Yup, makes perfect sense. That's when we'll see our next announcement, right before public sales I'd wager.
