I love my thrash, but i also like a balance. 2013 Line-up had something for everyone.

Happy weenies mean a happy boat.

On a quantity basis, this is a very thrashy cruise. But on a quality basis, this is a very folk-y cruise,

I have some Sepultura stuff I would like Max to sign.

Don't like Soulfly though. Some good tunes, and I may watch a set.

Good thing i still haven't left to the airport yet.

Come on, Andy. If you're giving us more bands do it before I arrive in FLL

That's what she said!

Exactly!!!

BTW, If Andy is waiting for the right puns/wordplay to announce bands. I believe we're not getting Gamma Ray this year!

Sonata Arctica have added Twilight Force to their Europe tour.

If those two bands get added to 70k at the last minute I would totally be beside myself with weenie glee.

I'd like that. I had loads of fun with Gloryhammer last year, we need a similar substitute (I'm not counting Alestorm as such, they're just different).

Putting 3,000 Headbangers and 60 Heavy Metal bands on a cruise ship is crazy! Do you think we will have any riots on board 70000TONS OF METAL? Sure! We are even going to have two! As always one on the way to Jamaica and another one on the way back! Please welcome RIOT V onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

The zero setters just keep coming.

Metalwrath · by **Metalwrath** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:40 pm

One of the few announcements that could save this cruise.Majority of the bands on this cruise i don't give a shit about. But i'm really happy with this announcement although was kinda expecting it

by **cowboy71** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 2:54 pm

An improvement.

Had too much to do in 2912 to make time for them.

No such problem this year so shall check out a set.

by **Speedy** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:12 pm

Hooray! It's not another goddamn thrash band!

We haven't got the set list yet ,what if one show conflicts with Therion and the other Blind Guardian?Okay if Andy did this he be sticking it to the weenies,but there has to be slot of clashes with the heavier bands this year,not enough time in the day not to.

by **Pellaz** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:32 pm

The only RIOT on board would be from Riot fans who didn't know they were booked until AFTER they'd already left home.

by **TOM CRUISE** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:46 pm

LMFAO at the people saying "oh another hair band" and "meh" . Great annoucement. Great band. Legendary traditional heavy metal. Look them up. Know your roots. You tube "Thundersteel"

Thanks for your time.

Scott :)

by **Electrichead** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 3:49 pm

Why everybody complain so much about the heavier bands? Its a heavy metal cruise. Relax guys, open your minds there are alot of bands out there that sounds far better in a live setting then on disc. Ill be checking out a littlw bit of everything and will definetely be checking out somw favourites and old favourites. Im looking forward to soulfy! Never seen em but own a few albums. Cant wait to pound down somw beers, drink some rum and bang my head.

I was personally hoping Hank III would make it on and do an outlaw country set and a metal set! But we cant all get what we want. See ya all there!

by **Madkill** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 4:04 pm

Looking forward to... "Cruisers, make sure you're not left behind on Thursday, let's meet early right AT THE GATES in Port Everglades."

This makes me think they are a last minute add.The bands that are added late usually don't have the catalog or the fan base for the signing session. Last year an Atrocity Fan would have bought their stuff because they where on the ship.Having no clue Rage would be on the ship is going pissed off quite a few meet and greet fans.

Yep the organisation has got FAR worse too.

2912 cruise was on a 5000 megaton space cruiser.

872 bands across 23 stages.

We found out the full lineup 5 YEARS after we set sail!

Disgraceful.

I know I may have said this one or two hundred previous years, but I have decided that I'm DEFINITELY not returning for a 903rd time.

Dead Dallas. I died laughing

by **mooyagi** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 5:41 pm

Missed them last time. Will try to make it to a set this time.

by **Dimma** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 10:55 pm

SWORDS AND TEQUILA!!!!

by **Andy** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:02 am

Please Welcome CORROSION OF CONFORMITY featuring Karl Agell from their BLIND line up on vocals onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

by **bodomdragon** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:13 am

OK. Still 5 chances to get some power/symphonic/melodeath. Losing my hope though.

by **Jimbo2392** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:15 am

Interesting choice, but not a huge fan to be honest. On the upside im packed and ready to go, and cant wait.

by **Lordmarioh** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:32 am

Another U.S. band?

Disgraceful.

But on the bright side, you were able to go back in time, tell your pre-cruise self who was going to be onbroad, and bring the appropriate music storage modules for micro-signatures from the bands!

Not into Riot, but CoC is a pretty awesome addition.

Now to get ready and leave for Florida!

by **DarthDavy** » Tue Jan 20, 2015 1:52 am

Don't we have 2 announcements here? CoC AND Blind?
