    Bring your best time management skills. I got a couple curious looks last year for pulling out my homemade color-coded schedule, but it worked out for the best to be prepared. Things move quickly. That being said, don't stress about missing some things you wanted to see. For whatever reason (oversleeping, weather, getting lost), it's bound to happen at least once during the cruise.

    Take care of yourself... it's a marathon and you have to make it through 4 days of nonstop insanity. If you are a drinker, pace yourself... alternate with water. There's nothing worse than having big plans to see all these bands and you drink to the point where you are passed out on a bench or even sick.

    If you are not a fan of folk metal than these guys aren't gonna convert you, but A Hadak Utja is an example of their (somewhat) heavier material:

    Thanks man!

    I listened to more than 10 seconds of the song. It's just that 10 seconds into the vocals, I couldn't listen to anymore.

    I don't mind folk metal. I like some of it. The song I listened to sounded like pop disguised as fold metal (kinda like listening to Amaranthe for me <shudders>). The song you linked, I liked more. It started out really good. Heavy. That only lasted the intro though, but it still wasn't bad. I definitely liked the harsh vocals on this song. I like this guy's harsh vocals WAY more than the harsh vocals in Eluveitie. It still didn't do much for me. Not bad, but just didn't grab me in any way. I'll probably try a few more tracks from them. There's a greater chance I'll watch them if the female vocalist isn't singing. ;)

    If Hajdutanc was the first song you were listening to, finish the song! Her vocals get way better in the chorus. She is actually the one doing a lot of the harsh vocals.

    I'd say between 10:30 and noon is good, but it depends on what terminal the ship is in. Last year I got there at 10:30 and was on board at 11:30. The year before that, I was there at 10:30 and was on board at 1:30.

    Remember boys and ghouls, wear very comfortable shoes. Four nights on your feet in heels isn't a good idea.

    Not to mention pits are STICKY and FULL OF GLASS. Friend of mine wore flip flops to Grave Digger and wound up pulling a Die Hard. Bring sandals for beaches, sure, but bring comfy, well worn sneakers/boots to wear to shows.

    I just put gel insoles in my combat boots. I'm also bringing flip flops and my trusty pair of brain-stained, falling apart Converse sneakers.

    The best venue to mosh in is Ice Rink B, but it does get the most slippery. I've seen a lot of drinks and/or Ghoul brains all over that floor and people slipping on all that mess.

    To my way of thinking, one of the benefits of not being an active member of Belphegor is you have greater footwear options.

    YAY!

    While 2017 is not as off-the-chain ridiculous good for me as 2016 (last year I had some bands listed pre-cruise as 'must-catch-both-sets' that I didn't see at all!), this year is still rock solid. Four bucketlist never-seen-before bands, 6 more must-see-twice bands, and just a HEAP of bands that I'm 'yeah I'd love to catch a set' about.

    I'll be at the airport getting ready to fly out this time next week. YEAH.

    I think your wife & My fiancee might get on Swimmingly. - Liesy (my fiancee) had a similar reaction. - she was talking about sneaking in some eggs, - one for each of their singers & an extra one for the vocalist of Orphaned Land - Haha.

    As an aside - the fact you prepared a spreadsheet. - I like your style. - I may or may not have been doing the same thing yesterday for our travel finances.

    we have already marked all our artists as Yes / No / Maybe on the awfully good mobile app, which we both have installed respectively.

    I have no love for Amaranthe, but why throw eggs at Kobi?! The guy is singing songs to promote peace and unity, and you want to throw stuff at him? Shame

    Over the course of years I've had the opportunity to interview a good number of musicians. Of all of them, Kobi was the most interesting person I've ever spoken to. I'm not a huge Orphaned Land fan, but that dude is as cool as the other side of the pillow. Save your eggs for better targets. :D

    Oops,....Maybe I overstepped the mark?
    Was't being serious in either case, - I'm sure he's a cool dude, & got nothing against him personally, - just found some of their stuff not to our liking.
    Much the same as people disliking Amaranthe, - they might be cool guys too, but that doesn't change the fact that I have no interest in their music. - people like what people like, and that's fine. Other stuff often seems 'odd' by virtue of not being what we're used to.
    case in point (shameless admission) - I really actually like the first album from linkin Park. - I enjoyed it when it first came out & in small doses I enjoy some of it now.
    My fiancee however, would like to fill a pillow case with bars of soap & beat them to death with it. - Fair enough. it's no reflection on their personalities, just a reflection that their creativity isn't what she feels is 'creative' musically.

    If I get any stick for this I swear I'll paste her guilty pleasures all over this forum!

    Also - can I just point out that we have not, nor ever would actually egg a performer based upon their musical creativity or direction.
    And we didn't specifically decide to target him per see, - I just typed that because hypothetically taking out the singer would be the most disruptive action. - we didn't arbitrarily decide that he alone was the target.

    goddamit I really feel like I'm on my back foot here.

    If I get any stick for this I swear I'll paste her guilty pleasures all over this forum!

    Also - can I just point out that we have not, nor ever would actually egg a performer based upon their musical creativity or direction.
    And we didn't specifically decide to target him per see, - I just typed that because hypothetically taking out the singer would be the most disruptive action. - we didn't arbitrarily decide that he alone was the target.

    goddamit I really feel like I'm on my back foot here.


    You're all good sir, no worries. :cool:

    This. I'm merely pointing out that there are musicians who are guilty of being shitty songwriters and shitty people, who are much more deserving of your dairy projectiles. :beerwink:

    My first year my buddies and I nearly hit the frontman of Municipal Waste with half a coconut - we're really upset we didn't. Only not actually, we just joke about it because we really don't like Municipal Waste. The man himself was actually really cool. :beerwink:

    Violence is for the pit, or for the musicians that actually ARE from a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
