I am about to cry...XENTRIX!!!!

by **mikijonas** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 4:27 pm

Me and my "little" brother broegaard, are IN!

by **alex_canada** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 8:34 pm

Pumped to hear In Extremo. This year's lineup already has double the bands that I love than last year, I just checked

by **Andy** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 9:59 pm

Please welcome IN EXTREMO on board 70000TONS OF METAL, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise! 11 down, 49 to go..

by **Razor Ramon** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 10:05 pm

Therion and In Extremo! The rest, meh. Still no one I haven't seen before.

Get Draconian and I'll bust a nut for sure.

by **Goddess of Metal** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 10:29 pm

And there it is. OFFICIALLY!

by **Memnoch** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 11:40 pm

Therion is the only band at the moment I'd go see. So, yeah, it is surprisingly easy to stand my ground and not book.

by **epartos** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 1:48 am

This far in to the bookings and 2015 is way past 2014 for me. Why the hell can´t I go!!

by **NuuX** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 1:55 am

So far it's total opposite of last cruise when it comes to bands I want to see. I'm not going to ask for much this year so any combination of Accept, Hell and Riot V would be just a cherry on top for me.

Time to announce some Heavy metal bands Andy

by **Stained Class** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 5:25 am

Yeah I'm loving the lineup so far

by **Max_Rockwell** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 5:58 am

This years line up might just be better than the first 70k's line up.

Getting excited now.... oh damn...

by **Stained Class** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 6:13 am

So now that I've looked at the new page in a non mobile browser I tried opening the RSS feed and it's "protected". Is there a way I can get a URL from you guys so I can subscribe to the RSS feed on my phone? I'll also send a message to customer service.

I get the same message on my work PC. Chrome shows two feeds: news and comments feeds, but neither have any content.

The RSS feed is back (at least for me): http://70000tons.com/feed/

well if you haven't heard yet looks like Arch Enemy has a new singer http://archenemy.net/2014/index.php

was finally hoping to see Angela live

since Angela is going to be their business manager, maybe she will still pop in on a song or two as a treat for us

(must maintain some type of hope to see her live on stage)

You most likely will, just not on stage. Apparently, she's moving into Arch Enemy management.

There's this curse.. we need to have a band playing with a new singer. We had Fabio Lione singing with Kamelot, after that he was singing in Angra (and he's still doing that, they'll even record a new álbum with Fabio)

And we had a vocal change with Xandria in 2014...

but WHY THE HELL it had to be Arch Enemy the one to get cursed?!?!

besides that.. 70k is back in business and line up so far is AWESOME!!!!

In every case it was an improvement, so maybe Alissa will be an improvement too?

by **Mr.Kito** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:07 am

I can't consider Edu Falaschi being replaced by Fabio Lione an improvement, Edu's my favorite singer but his band Almah did improve a lot when he left Angra, so I drink to that, cheers!!

by **Sgt. B** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 11:13 am

Wow. That one hurt. I do not like The Agonist. This could easily make Arch Enemy a miss for me now.

i share your feelings, but lets wait.. Alissa has about 300 days to show something impressive. Besides, Angela may show up for one or two songs on the boat. (lets keep hope up!!)

I'd like to see or hear her cover an Arch Enemy song or two before the cruise ... she is a good vocalist, just don't know how she will be with their material. not a fan of the Agonist really

I've seen The Agonist 4/5 times & Alissa on the Nightwish/Kamelot tour. Never liked The Agonist or her vocals. Just went back & re-listened. Still don't care for it. I'm not anticipating being impressed by the time the new album comes out or the North American tour I know is being talked about. Hopefully I am wrong.

If Angela is along for the cruise, maybe Alissa will get laryngitis and not be able to perform.

by **Stained Class** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 12:13 pm

Following the current trend in the increase of repeat bands, I'm guessing we're going to have 32 repeats this year. Counting Barge and 2013 as the same year, since they would have the same likeliness of repeats.

year bands repeats % repeats
2011 42 0.00 0.00
2012 42 0.00 0.00
2013 82 8.00 9.76
2014 41 15.00 36.59
2015 61 31.73 52.02

You weren't even on the last 3 cruises so does it matter that much to you?

Not to mention I see 5 repeat bands in your wishlist

by **Stained Class** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 12:40 pm

So, we have 5 repeats already. If we are to get 27 more repeats (32 total), there's 138 more possibilities for repeats (143 total), so roughly 1/5 (19.5%) of those possibilities would be onbroad.

Before you ask, no, I don't have anything better I could be doing

Yes, exactly...

I've never had to deal with repeats and, if forced to, they must come from the five listed in my sig (BG is okay cuz, you know, gotta make Hector happy)

This In Extremo, Ensiferum, Therion stuff simply won't cut it!!!

My metal = Best metal!

All others pale!

Go go Gadget Elitism!!!

I'll be at the RockHarz Festival, where ArchEnemy are playing in July and I'll keep you posted.
http://www.rockharz-festival.com/

Although I'm curious how Alyssa will perform Arch Enemy songs, I would have RALLY liked to see Angela.
But let's hope she'll be along on 70K and perform a song or two - seems like the right place & time for such "specials".
Perhaps a duet?

Can you tell UMC how to use Twiiter.They keep on started their tweets with the "@(band who is announced) " that only is a conversation between two people.I got only one push notication on my phone because I follow the band they announced also.

by **rwalters** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 2:26 pm

I am wildly disappointed in the Arch Enemy news. I don't mind the Agonist or Alissa, but this just sucks. I'd much rather have Liiva back (even though he's mostly horrible as a vocalist)

Just messaged Vince. He had a minor panic attack and now he's fixing it haha.

Another new one for me.

Fingers crossed, youtube here I come...

?

Oh well, technical brutal death metal. Sad for me but great for others

by **alex_canada** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 4:33 pm

Surprising about Arch Enemy. Just wiki'd it to see she is 40 years old, I guess it's time to pass the torch or something. I've seen them probably about 6-8 times with Angela...she's pretty good but that's more due to her stage presence than being a one of a kind screamer. I'm interested to see whether they put in some (gasp) clean singing into old AE songs.

Is this a confirmation that there will be 61 bands? Or bad math?
