    Hahaha.... while I'm not much into folk metal, I liked the fans. They were fun. I was at the bar and one guy was ordering "one red drink and one blue drink. And they need to be really really red, and really really blue." He had bottles he was putting them in which had obviously had really blue and really red drinks in them before. I have no idea what kind of ritual this entailed later but my interest was peaked. I thought it was pretty awesome. :viking:


    As a nerd I imagine these were his health and mana potions.

    Hammerfall, Stratovarius, Edguy, basically all dragon slaying European power metal except Blind Guardian cause I've always liked them for some reason.



    heh I guess it is just the opposite for me, I would love all the bands you are getting rid of and when I saw Stolen Babies... well my ears were not happy, but to each his own :beerbang:

    I'd say my top pick would be Queensrÿche. There are two versions now and the one helmed by Geoff Tate is the one I don`t think I could stomach based on all the recent drama. The latest album was pathetic. I won`t have any opinion on the other Queensrÿche until I hear their new album out soon. So, yeah... no to them onbroad. By the time the cruise happens they`ll have settled the name issue at least.

    How about you all?


    I just saw Queesnryche with Geoff Tate this week. While they are one of my favorite bands, they don't belong on this cruise. I agree the last album wasn't too good but Geoff is still great live. (I am speaking of American Soldier- haven't really kept up on the "new" album is out yet and didn't even get to the Merch stand to check. They only played stuff from Mindcrime 1 and Empire. I have seen them about 40 times over the years including on Shiprocked. That is the type of cruise they belong on. I'd only want them on this cruise if they only played stuff from the first 2 or 3 albums.


    Not sure if he cancelled out this year- I saw QR on the Shiprocked cruise 3 cruises ago when the band was still together. Maybe there was a cancellation due to all the infighting?
    I agree that Shiprocked is more his style. For some reason I thought he cancelled last year's Shiprocked though?

    Only because I don't like what they do, no Iced Earth, no Gojira, no Bullet for my Valentine, no Avenged Sevenfold, no Hellyear, no Danzig, no Volbeat onboard.

    On the other hand, I tend to care more about what I want, rather than what I don't want. I don't give a shit about Xandria, but Carcass damn near makes the cruise for me. Whereas, it may be the other way around for someone else. Hence, the uniqueness of the cruise.

    Any hair/glam or metalcore/"deathcore" bands. If they were part of the lineup, I would be TERRIBLY disappointed. Who the hell wants middle-aged ladies reliving their teenage days of hairspray and spandex who don't even like any "real" metal, or a bunch of poser teens in greasy swoop cuts and skinny jeans, slam dancing over breakdowns, onbroad? Oh, and let's not forget the (shitty) music.

    Andrew W.K.!!! What the hell was Black Sabbath thinking when they chose this douche bag to be their opening act on the North American tour. I hope he breaks his leg before the tour starts. I know that sounds harsh but seriously, there are hundreds of other bands that would fit better opening for Sabbath than Andrew W fuckin K. He's a fuckin moron.

    He's probably extremely inexpensive because he sucks, and will make Sabbath look even better.

    I wouldn't be surprised. When I saw Judas Preist open for Ozzy, they put on a really bad show. I kinda got the feeling that they were told not to blow Ozzy off the stage (which they could have if they'd tried). Just speculation but it seems to me like they're being careful not to pick an opener that will make them look bad.

    I thought I read that Andrew WK is doing a DJ set to open the Black Sabbath shows. No band, just him playing music before hand.

    He's probably extremely inexpensive because he sucks, and will make Sabbath look even better.


    I thought I read that Andrew WK is doing a DJ set to open the Black Sabbath shows. No band, just him playing music before hand.


    I wouldn't be surprised if he got booed off the stage.

    I wouldn't be surprised. When I saw Judas Preist open for Ozzy, they put on a really bad show. I kinda got the feeling that they were told not to blow Ozzy off the stage (which they could have if they'd tried). Just speculation but it seems to me like they're being careful not to pick an opener that will make them look bad.


    Well, Megadeth is opening their show here in October, so I hope you're wrong about that.

    ^^^Of course AWK is opening for a legend band like Sabbath. He is completely NOT what sabbath fans would want/like (typically), So it complements the potentially old band well. By making them sound better in case they bomb. It is just like when i saw Alice in Chains a few years back. They played so fantastically that the venue played "Straight outta Compton" on repeat for an hour before Velvet Revolver took stage. Didn't help though. Scotty should have stayed on heroin.

    Right before I saw Velvet Revolver I remember vividly that they played DIRT by Alice in Chains like 4x in a row while Scott recovered enough to remember where the fuck he was and go onstage.

    On the other hand, I tend to care more about what I want, rather than what I don't want. I don't give a shit about Xandria, but Carcass damn near makes the cruise for me. Whereas, it may be the other way around for someone else. Hence, the uniqueness of the cruise.
    So give us IMMORTAL and we'll all be happy! :beerhorns: :mrgreen:

    I agree with this 100%


    Same here!!


    Immortal would rule hard! i'd rather focus on bands i want than bands i don't want... i'm no good at that haha.

Oh, and let's not forget the (shitty) music.


    Actually I wouldn't mind the middle-aged ladies in spandex and big hair. I have a thing for older women. ;)

    Six Feet Under - when they canceled for Barge or 70K (can't remember) I was actually happy. :D

    Also, any band who tours a lot as it is. I prefer bands on there who never tour in the states and those little gems where you heard an album a long time ago and totally forgot about them (Nightmare was a prime example)
