The Official 70000TONS OF METAL 2016 Megathread - Page 15

by **Ecliptica** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:01 am

Zero interest from me so far. Dragonforce was super fun last time and I did say that if I had the chance to see them again I would, but being in Europe and having all these easily accessible shows has spoiled me. I'm becoming a bitter old cruise veteran now.

What a hell of a start!!! Way to go!!! Can't wait for the next four... Thank you Andy for killing my productivity this morning

by **CountArioch** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:02 am

I am glad to see some information. Now I can allow myself to actually hope for bands.

I'm assuming that Gloryhammer is on broad this year without me asking, but also I wouldn't mind seeing Turisas again, maybe Tyr and Eluveitie as well. Visigoth is on my list, as well as Manowar. And lately I've been really into Falconer as well.

Well, that's what I call an amazing guess. How did you come up with that? Good one!

OK I got my promo code and tried 3 times to book only to have it say invalid code WTF?

Since we know Andy makes some miracles happen, I hesitate to say this - but Falconer sounds like they're 100% done playing live shows after ProgPower this year.

They're my all-time favorite band, so, yes, that'd be an auto-booking for me. But I don't see it happening :'(

Gotta wait until booking opens maybe? I have the same problem.

All bands good or great so far

Except At The Zzzzz, they seriously bored me at Trondheim Metal Fest last year.

by **Andy** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:03 am

After a long hiatus, look for FIREWIND to return to the concert stage, including 2 sets onbroad 70000TONS OF METAL 2016 - The Original, The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise!

How many more Guitar Heroes can we manage to fit on this boat?

by **Ecliptica** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:05 am

Hmm. . .okay. . .that's a bit better for me.

I don't even know why I comment. If I go on this thing I'll do what I did the previous years - wait until a week or two before, find a cabin, book a last minute flight, and see you guys at noon the day the boat leaves

#1 Guitar Hero for me would be Jørn Viggo Lofstad (pagan's Mind).

Good one. Mine would be Michael Romeo from Symphony X but I hardly believe that's Andy's reference

by **bodomdragon** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:24 am

Btw, quite sure that one of the remaining three will be Within Temptation due to clue in Delain's post.

It's about time they were onbroad. Well, I'll get to see them in July already, but they'd definitely be a two-setter for me.

by **bodomdragon** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:36 am

My prediction for the remaining three: Within Temptation (because of obvious clue), Children of Bodom (because of Guitar Hero clue, they have songs featured on Guitar Hero) and Symphony X because fuck yeah.

Not alphabetically, if the clue was meant for today's announcements. No spots between Iced Earth and Lacuna Coil. Otherwise Epica would also be strong candidates, but again, not for today.

I may be completely out of reality but I was reading:
"Will this be the only female fronted Dutch band on board 70000TONS OF METAL 2016?"
which could indicate ANY Dutch band with female singer

don't see any clue on date or alphabetic order. All looks messed up.

by **cowboy71** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 2:11 am

This lineup is INSANE.

by **epartos** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 2:16 am

Yikes! This is starting out VERY good. I second Falconer and Symphony X. Give me my code so I can book already!

by **cowboy71** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 2:16 am

Mal2000 wrote:don't see any clue on date or alphabetic order. All looks messed up.

What he is trying to say, is that if you look at the lineup here:

http://70000tons.com/artists/

Those spots are all alphabetical. So the remaining announcements in this first 10 bands will be one that alphabetically falls between "At The Gates" and "Delain" and two that alphabetically come after Lacuna Coil.

Hence - Epica and Izegrim will not be announced in this little batch of announcements.

So: Behemoth, Symphony X and Testament! Yes!

C'mon Andy, my F5 key is already ruined...

by **Jimbo2392** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:11 am

We need a band letter B then, hows about Bolt Thrower! Bloodbath! or Borknagar any of those 3 please.

by **Razor Ramon** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:14 am

Lacuna Coil, Delain, At The Gates

Don't care about Iced Earth, Dragonforce, or Firewind.

by **SaraMarie** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:34 am

Hey, I'm happy.

At the Gates - I'm very excited for this, I'm sure many here have seen them a few times but I have yet to see these guys, very cool.

Delain - Not my thing, but I don't hate them.

Dragonforce -

Firewind - I don't know this band. I'll have to put this on at work today.

Fleshgod Apocalypse - Sweet, I missed them when they came to town a few years ago. Moar br00talz plz.

Iced Earth - Amazing announcement and the most exciting one for me out of this bunch.

Lacuna Coil - Saw them last summer, it was a decent show, not my favorite anymore but I liked them when I first got into metal. If I'm drunk enough, I may be found singing to them.

Somebody earlier in the thread mentioned Nuclear Assault... I would love that! But they've said this summer is their last tour. Hopefully that doesn't preclude them playing one last time on the ship. Lilker is a fellow Rochesterian and a really cool guy, I'd love for him to come.

by **Speedy** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:44 am

Wishes for the last three of this batch:

Norwegian:
Borknagar
Leprous
Pagan's Mind

Girlie:
Beyond the Bridge
Tarja
Within Temptation

Folk:
Dalriada
Lumsk
Metsatöll

Power:
Axxis
Orden Ogan
Powerwolf

Trumps everything else:
Battlelore
Van Canto

I saw them at Sweden Rock Festival earlier in June and it was bloody excellent! More moshpit!!

by **Speedy** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 4:20 am

Not familiar with Firewind, but a very good chance that I'll like it based on the FB friends who like them.

by **DrinkMoxie** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 4:55 am

even though there's nothing that'll open my wallet yet, this is a very strong start... if the remaining 3 are Borknagar, Ne Obliviscaris, and Powerwolf, I'm in trouble

by **Phoenix** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 5:00 am

Did someone say Bodom?

At the Gates is nice since they're on my bucket list, but I've been wanting to see Bodom forever, I'd get VERY excited by Bodom :3

Within Temptation wouldn't be my speed... I'm more than good on the girlie front now.
