    I've been wanting to create a thread here, for people to re-post their first post. So much has changed--new friends, personalities, how naïve, and ridiculously excited we all were. :trashdrink:


    Need some magic back in this Forum.

    Hi All.
    New to the board. I am 38 yr old guy who will be coming from the frozen tundra of Western Canada.
    I'm travelling alone.... Deck 6!
    Jaimie


    Ok, maybe NOT that exciting!!

    :boobs: :pound: :pound:

    38?? wow...

    Possibly! I usually save my $ for the cruise or MDF now but I think Danzig, Fear Factory & Ghost are on the list.

    Some cruisers are coming out for FF, the only reason I'm going (I've seen them about 19 times already) :lol:

    Below is one of my first posts on this forum from May 10, 2010. :shock: I don't believe I've ever updated it, so the updates follow the original text. Like Jaimie noted a few posts back (*waves at Jaimie* :cheers: ), a lot has happened in many of our lives since then. Sometimes it seems like last week we were planning & preparing for that very first ever magical mystery metal cruise in 2011 and other times it seems like another lifetime ago. :beerwink:

    City/Country:
    Chicago, USA
    ***update 2015: ditto - I've lived in the city proper (not the suburbs) my entire adult life and plan to stay here always (outside of traveling of course). As much as I've enjoyed visiting other cities (I'm a "big city gal" and particularly love Paris, Stockholm, New York and Denver), there is no place I'd rather live permanently than Chicago.
     
    Age:
    40s
    ***update 2015: 54. I find it a tad funny that my original post said "40s." :P I guess I felt uncomfortable stating my exact age of 49 at that time. Since then I have zero qualm about stating my age - this is a good thing. ;) I've "been there, done that" mid-life crisis stuff. :trashdrink: I am completely satisfied with my life path from birth to now & look forward to living the rest of my life with passion & gusto! :beerwink: :headbanger:
     
    What first got you into metal:
    Several years ago, I read about the fact that Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree – one of my favorite non-metal bands) produced Opeth’s Deliverance, Damnation, and Blackwater Park. On a wim, I bought a ticket to see Opeth in the fall of 2005 (not even knowing their music!).  Needless to say, I was totally blown away by them…and, well….life has not been the same since.
    ***update 2015: Opeth and Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree remain two of my top favorite bands of all time. After seeing both several times in the past 10 years (and most recently in Dec 2014 and June 2015 respectively), both bands/artists continue to nearly move me to tears. I've had the pleasure of meeting Steven twice and told him the second time that it was entirely because of him that I became a metal fan due to his Opeth connection (which changed my life in many ways). He smiled. :D
     
    Top metal experience to date:
    Wacken 2009 (and I’m my way to Wacken 2010 which I have a feeling may surpass 2009!)
    ***update 2015: I can not answer this now because I've had many "metal experiences* that are tied for "first place," that is, they are all special in their own way & I can not rank them per se. :beerwink:
     
    Play any instruments?
    Played acoustic guitar a bit long ago – would like to pick it up again at some point.
    ***update 2015: our 16 year old daughter Genevieve has been playing my old Martin acoustic for about a year now. I still plan to pick it up again myself sooooon. :lol:
     
    Top 5 (metal) bands:
    Opeth
    Dimmu Borgir
    Pain of Salvation
    Tyr
    Epica
    ***update 2015: I am somewhat surprised I put Epica in my top 5 since I'm not as much a fan of the band anymore. I think I saw them around that time & really enjoyed the gig, so they were top on my music radar. The others are still in my top faves list without question - especially Opeth & PoS who are tied for my number 1 spot. If I remove Epica from the top five, I could swap in....hmmm - Ulver, Agalloch, Rammstein, or Enslaved. I also feel the need to mention Rush, Yes, & Led Zeppelin as they are all in my top 10 fave bands ever list and have "been with me" 40 or more years making them all the more special. :smoking:
     
    More metal fave bands (would be way longer if I included non-metal):  Agalloch, Amon Amarth, Arcturus, At the Gates, Behemoth, Borknagar, Dark Tranquility, Dir en Grey, Dream Theatre, Eluveitie, Emperor, Ensiferum, Enslaved, Ex Deo, Finntroll, Goatwhore, Heaven and Hell, Heidevolk, High on Fire, H.I.M., Hypocrisy, Immortal, In Extremo, In Flames, Kamelot, Kivimetsan Druidi, Korpiklaani, Lamb of God, Leaves' Eyes, Machine Head, Marduk, Moonsorrow, Motorhead, Municipal Waste, Napalm Death, Nightwish, Obituary, Orphaned Land, P.O.D., Paradise Lost, Primordial, Rage Against the Machine, Rammstein, Riverside, Samael, Satyricon, Scorpions, Septicflesh, Slayer, Strapping Young Lad, Swallow the Sun, Symphony X, Testament, Theatre of Tragedy, Therion, 1349, Tiamat, Turisas, UFO, Volbeat, Walls of Jericho
    ***update 2015: lots more I could add since this 2010 list, but won't bother at the moment....but wait! Gotta mention The Ocean and Kvelertak!! <3 <3 <3
     
    What do you do?
    librarian/historian/researcher
    ***update 2015: I have been at my same job now 26 years, up 5 years from 2010 & getting much closer to retirement now. :shock: A big change that happened in 2014 was the merging of the formerly separate arts & music departments, so now I am both an arts and music librarian (which I love!). I like to think of myself as the "heavy metal librarian." :beerbang: :lol:
     
    What do you do in your spare time?
    With full-time work, a house, and family, I wish I had more spare time!  I especially enjoy going to museums and other cultural institutions, dance performances, concerts (metal and other genres).  I also like to read – mostly non-fiction.
    ***update 2015: ditto, with the addition that I have always traveled as much as time and money allows.

    What deck are you on?
    K – deck 6
    ***update 2015: only did 70K in 2011 & 2012...since then I have pursued other adventures. I did love 70K though, and may be back in a few years or more. :beerbang:
     
    What’s a creepy think I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
    Hmmm….well, I saw the American Idol Tour in 2008…does that count?
    ***update 2015: "tell me about your recent vision quest" :shock: :viking: :cool:

    Welcome to the forums, fellow Atlantan!

    I co-host Atlanta's weekly metal show every Friday night at midnight at 91.1 FM.
    If you're within about 50 miles of downtown ATL you can probably get it...and we can play just about all the bands you listed as your faves. :headbanger:

    The last time I heard something new from them was in 1994... But someone told me they've been playing in a radio station cruise here in Brazil a few years ago.

    Welcome to the Forum! It was great hanging out with you and Daniel last year on the boat, too!

    I'm a ballerina...


    That's pretty nifty!
    I would say that metal and ballet could NEVER mix...but there WAS that "Ballet Deviare" project a few years back, with ballet performed to metal songs (by the band Arsis, as I recall).

    Welcome to the forums, fellow Atlantan!

    I co-host Atlanta's weekly metal show every Friday night at midnight at 91.1 FM.
    If you're within about 50 miles of downtown ATL you can probably get it...and we can play just about all the bands you listed as your faves. :headbanger:


    Awesome! I used to listen to Wrekage a lot when I worked 3rd shift about 10 years ago. Now that I have a 9-5 job I don't get to listen as much. I've always enjoyed the show! :death:

    My name is Olivia :)

    City/country:
    Doylestown, Pennsylvania ---> Boston, Massachusetts

    Age (optional):
    20.. I'll be 21 on February 4th, so I'm celebrating a major birthday on 70,000Tons!

    What first got you into metal?
    My dad played all the classics. Then I got a computer and discovered YouTube's "related videos" and that opened up a whole new world... I was glad I got into really heavy stuff like Amon Amarth. It scares people that a five foot tall female (who admittedly doesn't look very metal) has such a huge personality. :deathhorns:

    Play any instruments?
    I can play, like, one part of Guardians of Asgaard. I can kind of sing, but not really. So... no. The simple answer is "no".

    Top 5 bands?
    Amon Amarth
    Korpiklaani
    HammerFall
    Iron Maiden
    Finntroll or Ensiferum


    What do you do?
    I'm a full-time university student at Emerson College in Boston, going into my third year! I'm studying film production and creative writing, and I am a freelance journalist for the Intelligencer/Courier Times in Pennsylvania. During the summers I work part-time... I guess it's kind of lame, but I have to make money, right?

    What deck are you on?
    E!

    Hi everybody, my name is Relja and I'm an anti-alcoholic (I'm not kidding :mrgreen: )
    This will be my first cruise, I'm coming with 5 of my friends (codename: dlakavi), we're expecting nothing less than an epic experience!

    City/country:
    Serbia, formerly Yugoslavia

    Age:
    29, will be 30 just a few days before boarding

    What first got you into metal?
    I was always a RnR fan, but successfully avoided metal until late teenage years when my crazy friend hooked me up on Metallica, then a few years later they came to my town and played in front of 30k people. It was my first big concert, and the rest is history. I've been to more than 50 concerts since then, mostly metal and hard rock music.

    Play any instruments?
    Sadly, no. No wait, I play Guitar Hero! :mrgreen:

    Top 5 bands?
    Anything that came out of Slash's guitar
    Iron Maiden
    Blind Guardian
    Tool
    SOAD

    What do you do?
    I'm a freelance programmer/biker/soon to become tattoo addict/beard grower/basketball fanatic. Not necessarily in that order.

    What deck are you on?
    Deck 2. I imagine it's near the engine room.

    What's a creepy thing I can say when I see you that no stranger should know and will weird you out that I do?
    My name. Nobody outside my country can pronounce it right
    10 of these bands will get me on 2017
    -/-Adrenaline-Mob-/-Apocalyptica-/-Avantasia-/-Axel-Rudi-Pell-/-Ayreon-/-Blind-Guardian-/-Civil-War-/-Demons-&-Wizards-/-Device-/-Disturbed-/-Dream-Theater-/-Edguy-/-Fear-Factory-/-Helloween-/-Kamelot-/-Manowar-/-Nightwish-/-Opeth-/-Pain-of-Salvation-/-Powerwolf-/-Russell-Allen-&-Jorn-Lande-/-Sisters-of-Mercy-/-Sonata-Arctica-/-Symphony-X-/-Tarja-/-Therion-/-Within-Temptation-/-
