Last: Amon Amarth et al (Fillmore New Orleans)
Next: Slayer (Final show at the Forum)

Can't believe i have a month between shows.

Just added a show with Cattle Decapitation and some other bands at The Parish at House of Blues NO on the Monday before Slayer.

I didn't do it last year (even though I was literally in the Schooner) because I was a n00b. Viking Crown would be OK for me. I'm bringing two n00bs with me (my new wife and my daughter). Both new to 70K although experienced hands with metal and cruises (MORC and countless metal shows each).

Partially agree. Over in Europe they managed to fill the largest indoor halls. The Westfalenhalle in Dortmund holds around 16.000 people. So, Judas Priest might not have the largest pull factor in the US, in Europe they still are headliner material who can fill the same venues as the likes of Manow...

This is not the Judas Priest of 1983. Judas Priest of today is a much smaller draw as a headliner. Still big enough to be the headliner of a Wacken Open Air 2020, which is by no means a small festival. ;) Festivals are a bit of a different story. I'm just saying that Priest as a touring headliner i...

Come on now ,anybody can guess some bands like Emperor or ones that been on the cruise but Judas Priest.No way at all ,they could do their own boat and this is way too late.They would not piss off their fans and do the cruise on 2 plus months notice,and they would need to biggest stage ever. This i...

Hard to compare, but yeah considering we are almost 24 hours into public sales, there are a lot more categories available this time around. UMC and Andy really need to bust out some BIG bands before the payment-plan cutoff, to encourage newbies to book. I have a giant prediction and it comes from t...

I have no problem with band members getting bumped in before cruisers. That's what most people want to see while they are there I think. We went the first night for a while and it was annoying. Went again during the gong show thing and it was better. I just don't get the turning down the music cons...

My request submitted earlier. Wound up with the only triple non-suite option left (1D). Guess we'll see how things go...

-The Karaoke guys were terrible. I guess it's part of an act, but they were beyond annoying after a little while. Yelling at each other and turning down the music and screaming "fuck you" and "alright" every minute sucked. I think they wanted it to be about them instead of people trying to sing. I ...

Pellaz, you have experience with cruise prices: is Megacruise much more expensive than 70K, or in the same ballpark? Slightly more expensive, but an extra day. That being said, a LOT less bands. Less bands and it won't be a marathon like 70K, I might actually get proper sleep on MegaCruise. Megacru...

Australian dollar has risen a cent against the US in the last 24 hours! (That makes a $3,000 cabin $100 cheaper - that's like 3-4 shirts or a bunch of beers!!!)

I hear RUSTED SOUL are a chance. Can someobody explain what that "shit-storm" was all about? I hate reading drama like that and it just brings me down seeing in-fighting amongst our 70K family. My simpleton take on it was Rusted Soul asked how to get invited to be on the boat, Kim Dylla replied and...

Shitrocked kept the first week of February, but departs from NOLA. I suppose our ship is too big for the NOLA port? Their boat sucks... Yes. Or more accurately, it's too big to maneuver the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. Believe me, I would love it if something like the Indy could fit and...

How have I gone over! Going over the date would be to pick a date greater than the date the announcement is made Sir, you need to calm down "It's just a TV show, IT'S JUST A TV SHOW!" :lol: It's simple. If announcements happen today (hah hah), mbob can share the prize with Statsman and rebirth. So,...

... I wish he would have scheduled the cruise later in the month. Agreed! Just not the week of Super Bowl in Miami tho. I travel personal on South West if I can help it. I can't even book a flight yet on their website for January. Yeah, January 5th is the current schedule cut off. We booked one way...

Adding statsman's well-explained announcement date to the list. He is the ONLY one who can get a second chance cuz, well, he's the statsman

Him getting a second shot doesn't bother me, but since he's talking about his August 7th, wouldn't that still be August 6th here in NA technically?

I'd expect August 31st again.

I think the difference is that the cruise is almost a month earlier than this year.

We're planning to fly in Sunday and stay at the Riptide for a couple days. Going to fly back Saturday afternoon/evening. Because of Southwest flight schedules, we booked our flight there already, but the return flights won't be available until after August 15th. We got a flight for 3 for just under ...

The social media team replied in a comment on Facebook that "before end of July" was something possible.
I think bodomdragon will be the winner.

lol. "Something possible."

That is the new SOOOON apparently.

I'm already dead, but I'm beginning to think I should have said my fiance's birthday present will be the first announcements. lol August 15.

They're going to participate in some way. The real question will be whether Dave can sing or perform at all. It's gotta be discouraging to fans, because it's pretty much the whole point of the cruise. Why spend your money on that for what is arguably a lesser show now when you could save and go on ...

Megadeth cancelled their appearance at Psycho Las Vegas due to Dave Mustaine's throat cancer prognosis. They cancelled their appearance on the Motorboat cruise not too long ago as well. Looks like this Megacruise is hanging on by a thread. They're going to participate in some way. The real question...

Lemmy hologram is next.

Entire classic-era band as a hologram. Philthy Animal, Fast Eddie, and Lemmy. It's a GOLD MINE!

Sacred Reich just dropped off MegaCruise due to "scheduling conflicts" so they fall off the ruled out list. "We were gonna do your cruise, Dave, but we just checked our contract with this 70K cruise thing and we can't." Nahhh. Not likely, but I suppose it's possible. :twisted: lol Well, I just mean...

I was not even aware this is a thing. How can regular sunscreen damage reefs?
