    I'm only missing a certain kind of thrash: the really dumb, tell people to thrash, joking, beer-crushing kind. Like a Gama Bomb or something. But I'm satisfied with Destruction.

    Cool! I'm glad 60 is a band I like but not one I desperately need to see. I've definitely seen them a few times by now.

    I'm running around like a mad woman today to try and get as much pre-cruise chores and errands done before Monday morning. :headbanger: My poor dog already knows. :?

    Last year was the only so far with 61 bands correct?And that was because of losing 2 bigger bands Nike and Gojira.So with Swallow The Sun getting 3 sets ,this is probably it.Except for Witchery and Enslaved,there is nothing new I really wanted to see this year.Last year was so awesome I knew this was going to be a dud and it turned out to be.On a side note everyone in The United States has some kind of flu this year,getting on a plane then a boat is something I don’t want to do now also.

    Man, I'm really surprised there's so many people saying they're not excited for the lineup. This is my fourth year going and I've never been looking forward to the cruise more than this. There's plenty of bands I'm never seen before that I'm super excited about (Kreator, Sinister, Aborted, October Tide), bands I've seen before that are always fun live (Goatwhore, Cannibal Corpse, Samael), and plenty of stuff I either haven't seen in a long time or just generally excited to check out (Dark Tranquillity, Benediction, Insomnium, Benighted, Swallow the Sun, Aeternam, Enslaved, Witchery, Meshuggah). Not to mention a couple bands I've never heard of that I'm looking forward to checking out, like Majestic Downfall and Revenge. Add in a few solid standbys like Belphegor and Kataklysm and you have my favorite lineup of any cruise so far. February 1st can't come soon enough!

    There are people EVERY year that are unhappy with the lineup. It's just a matter of taste. Some years there are more from a particular sub genre than others. As such, I could understand if someone who really favors folk or thrash metal was disappointed this year, as there are pretty much 2 bands from each. I like something from pretty much every style, so I've been happy with pretty much every 70K lineup really. 2017 was tops for me though.

    Kataklysm! This makes 3 bands I have a CD from. This is a very obscure lineup. I think I’ll like it though.

    .....And th-th-th-that's a wrap, folks. Now if Andy can just put the running order and the signing schedules together REALLY FAST so the 70K app can be updated, that'd be GREAT.....

    As for the band lineup, this will be my fourth year and overall it's probably my "weakest" lineup so far...but that's like saying I'll have to settle for a porterhouse steak when I COULD have had filet mignon. Still a lot of great bands to see, even if there aren't as many "first time ever around here" bands for me like Kalmah or Omnium Gatherum last year.

    I think they've sent it every year, but this year they HAVE to be thinking of the Storm Chasers guy who died a few days ago from a drug overdose aboard Harmony of the Seas on a charter cruise, plus the 40 people who were arrested for possession before boarding the Holy Ship! cruises.

    Trying to bring on rum-runners is one thing, but now I expect heightened security at Port Everglades, so....yeah. It'd suck to get hauled away to jail and miss the cruise for bringing on a controlled substance. :shock:

    It's more of a bands thing. If there's stuff i really like until 4am I might pass on the scuba diving, but if I can be in bed at 1am without missing out much I'd really want to do it.

    This year doesn’t really have any bands that I’m absolutely dying to see. Nothing like Turisas, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Vallenfyre, and At the Gates in 2016 or Amorphis, Suffocation, and Anthrax last year. Probably the closest this year is Enslaved, but I’ve seen them live before.

    However there’s probably more bands this year that I’m kinda interested in than previous years. I’m guessing I’ll actually end up busier this year and see more shows, which I’m looking forward to.

    Trying to bring on rum-runners is one thing, but now I expect heightened security at Port Everglades, so....yeah. It'd suck to get hauled away to jail and miss the cruise for bringing on a controlled substance. :shock:

    Anyone notice that "End" was capitalized in Andy's post? Does that indicate the possibility of number 61?

    I've heard something similar from a couple different people now.

    I know nothing about Kataklysm...are they known to be raging assholes or something? Listened to a couple songs yesterday and came away mildly interested.

    The Kataklysm story i witnessed is not supposed to be public. I can only say that Enslaved probably don't like them too much.

    As for Primal Fear, this was widely public at the time, so I have no problem sharing the story. 10 to 15 years ago, can't remember exactly, they toured in Europe with Children of Bodom opening for them. At the time, CoB were really hot, much more than Primal Fear, to the point that every show, a significant part of the crowd were leaving after seeing CoB.
    How did Primal Fear react? Well, they quickly forced CoB to start their show as soon as the doors were opening, sometimes even when the doors were not open yet. And they always had a terrible shitty sound, while Primal Fear always sounded great just after them.

    CoB couldn't really complain, as they were signed on Nuclear Blast, and Mat Sinner, Primal Fear's bassist, is the boss or number 2 of said label...but Kimberly Goss, Laiho's girlfriend at the time, said publicly that Primal Fear's bassist was an asshole and compared him to Hitler, which is always taken with a smile when you are German! As a very classy guy, Sinner threatened to fire Kimberly's band from Nuclear Blast, to which Kimberly basically answered "fuck you, I stand by what I said, you're an asshole".

    And I still remember the show review from the Rock Hard France mag, the journalists were shocked by the treatment CoB were given. And when they confronted Primal Fear about this in an interview, their best answer was "we treat all our opening acts the same way, how come CoB were the first ones to complain?" :|

    Well. That Primal Fear stuff is just terrible assuming it's true. I wasn't interested in seeing them, but now? I'll actively avoid them.

    As for Kataklysm...I remember I caught 1 of their sets in Studio B the last time they were on board. There was a guy in the front waving around a Canadian flag and the band, especially the vocalist, were making every effort to ignore the flag and were obvious doing so. Made me think they're Quebec separatists. In addition, if according to you, they did something to piss off Enslaved, which is pretty much my favourite band, that makes my opinion of them sink. Shame, their music is decent.

    but...but...this is 10-15 years ago. That's a long time. I would figure that they have evolved as musicians as well as human beings...or not. As long as we're not talking about assholery as vile as Ted Fucking Asshole Nugent, I'll probably catch a set.

    I'm pretty indifferent to Kataklysm being added as I've seen them live a lot over the years but...

    I have to say, their guitarist was super nice to me when I met him on the boat last time they were on. I caught him in the Promenade and we shot the shit for over an hour about all kinds of stuff. He probably would have kept the conversation going, but I wanted to leave to go watch some band and had to be the one to end the conversation. He even hooked me up with a couple of guitar picks.

    Some friends and I went to see The Haunted in Chicago back in 2002. We went to check out the merch booth, and there was a guy selling for both Kataklysm and The Haunted at that time. He talked to us kids (16 or 17) for a good half hour + about all things metal. He was as friendly and humble as they come.

    Shortly after we ended the conversation, we went up and checked out this band named Kataklysm who we hadn't heard of at the time. I remember being awfully impressed with the live show, and also noticed that our new merch friend was their guitarist. I believe that was the only time I've seen them, but I've kept up with most of their albums over the years. I'll definitely check out a set.

    Andy has 9 hours to release the running order before I leave work (and my access to a printer) for the last time before my flight. I really hope that we hear about the clinics too - the pagan/folk clinic Tuomas from Korpiklaani put on in 2015 was great, I'd love for him to do it again.

    Have fun onbroad everyone! This being my first year not going, I do miss seeing everyone and all the fun before the cruise. That said, for some reason I am not really bummed about missing the literal boat. The lineup isn't good, but we've had way worse ones in the past, so that's not it.

    At least I got to see one of my favourite bands live last week in Malmö and spend my birthday weekend in Copenhagen with some of my favourite people (cruise friends too!). And I just bought flights to Spain for late February / early March to go see my mum. Sucks to see all the posts from the preparties and my own "on this day" memories, but, yes, can't really complain too much.

    At least I got to see one of my favourite bands live last week in Malmö and spend my birthday weekend in Copenhagen with some of my favourite people (cruise friends too!). And I just bought flights to Spain for late February / early March to go see my mum. Sucks to see all the posts from the preparties and my own "on this day" memories, but, yes, can't really complain too much.



    Slaving away at work and sometimes reading the FB status updates with party ppl in Miami.
    At least it isn't raining today in Göteborg :beerwink:

    Have fun everyone!

    Happy to see that you are coping well with not going. :cheers: Being home when I should have been in Florida sucks, and I can't recall being this bummed about anything before :cry: :cry: :cry:


    I'm super bummed for you, too. The beer tasting in 2016 will always be one of my favorite boat gatherings. Miss you and Ville, plus the others not coming this year. It's bound to happen, though. It's also good to do different things sometimes, huh?
