Last year there were some things said on fb by a few of the bands, but nothing too intense.

My guess that next announcement will be at least 10 bands

That's a silly thing to think. Maybe we'll get a spurt of 10 bands over a couple weeks but 10 bands at once no way

Andy is a NICE GUY.
What he is doing, is holding off any announcements until Statswife and I know whether we can go or not. This will stall sales and ensure there are still affordable cabins available.
So what is going to happen is, early July we will know what sort of tax return we are getting. If its what we expect, we will be all clear to go.
THEN Andy will announce Van Canto, Amaranthe, Alestorm, Thaurorod, Sabaton, Ex Libris, Epica, Magnum, Pythia, and Living Sacrifice.
And I will book.
You know I'm right.*
*may not actually be right.

Instead of a band here and there, he wants to drop 5-10 on us at the same time for maximum excitement? We'd probably get too critical of each individual band if Andy announced one band every other day. Thoughts anyone?
The non-announcements are a nice touch this year. It's been nice to not have COMPLETE silence.... I've got faith that things will turn out fine again. As long as I hear announcements every 100 days or so, I'll be fine....I'm anticipating lots of good announcements soon since there's gotta be summer scouting missions going on right now I hope.

I'd be tempted to book if I got a couple of wishlist bands, and, say, five bands I consider good. So far the only wishlist band for me is Origin, and I'll get to see them in December anyway.
A couple of girlie bands (since Andy really loves repeats, Delain would be awesome, or Epica, but I'd rather see Delain on the boat again) and some proper death metal. And Primordial.

Motorboat added Testament, Down, High on Fire & Kill Devil Hill. OK Andy, your turn to respond with 70K2015 band additions.

I REALLY wish those additions were for 70000 Tons. Andy has his work cut out for him to even come close to those announcements.

Analysing statistics, searching for rumours, probing the website for information.
Now. None of the above
Maybe its because I haven't even booked for next year yet, but I think its mainly because I just don't give a shit anymore. I'm not pissed off at the lack of announcements, nor am I eagerly anticipating the next announcement.
If I go next year, I will once again have the time of my life but for me the build up to the cruise has pretty much lost all its 'fun'. I'm not sure which is worse - the complete silence we had last year, or the lame-ass non-announcements we've been getting on facebook this year
ShoreSlayer wrote:Yeah... back when I was just a young metal cruiser, we'd slap down our money and be led on a year-long adventure of exciting anticipation and speculation based on humorously creative clues and community conjecture. We'd spend hours and hours just making up goofy threads to pass the time between updates and sharing reactions to the most recent announcements, talking about who'd seen which bands and where and what we could expect in their onbroad performances. Not a month would pass when ya wouldn't either be given another reason to get even more excited about the slow but steady reductions in days to sail or something to bitch about as the weenies and the elitists went toe-to-toe in battles of friendly jibes and growing camaraderie. Yep, thems was the good ol' days I tell ya.
Now ya basically make yer payments, book yer flights and hope for the best while kinda wondering what the hell's going on or even forgetting that there's something to look forward to. Oh well... days will turn to weeks and months, xmas will come n' go and we'll get what we paid for, no more, no less.
