    Boarding Band

    by Shadow Son » Tue Jul 04, 2017 6:46 am

    Is there one band for you, that if they get booked, you'll be on-board regardless of the rest of the line-up? Just one band that you love so much that just them being announced would be enough for you?

    The Crown

    They are one of my favorite bands, and one of the few of my favorites I have not seen live. Maybe Old Man Child would also fall into that category.

    Of course I have also seen Amon Amarth, but they would make that list as well.

    It's all academic since I am going this year regardless :)

    See you guys on board

    I already got them this year - Mors Principium Est. Legitimately cried when they got announced, never thought I'd be able to see them.

    Not sure if there's any one metal band I'd book for. Maybe a The Gathering reunion. Or Hail of Bullets with Martin. A Vomitory reunion would be almost impossible to resist.

    The only band that would get me to book in a heartbeat is The Cardigans. :beerwink:

    Yep, this was my must see band that I never thought I'd ever get to see live.

    The only other band I'd kill to see would be Unexpect and I'll forever regret not seeing them in 2013..

    Once upon a time it would have been Within Temptation. Don't like the musical direction they've gone in recently though so while I still love them, I wouldn't be too upset if by some miracle they were on in 2018.

    Probably Running Wild would be mine now.

    Probably only impossible bands, like SYL. I can't think of any band I like that wouldn't make more sense to see elsewhere if one band was the sole determining factor. Maybe a mix, like a few rare bands I love. Book Detente, Exarsis, Cross Examination and maybe some odd industrial group I remember from the 90s and I would find it really, really hard to say no.

    Seeing SYL again would do it. I can't think of another that would definitely do it. Carpathian Forest although the disappointment of them not making my first MDF would make me highly skeptical.

    All my favourite bands I've seen before so it would be ones that I have no chance of seeing otherwise. So Battlelore, Communic, Hypocrisy or Persuader would do it for me.

    But I'll book anyway.

    I'd be booking this year no matter what but going forward there are probably only a handful of bands that would make pull the trigger and book based on one band only. Bolt Thrower, Hypocrisy, Dismember and Primordial come to mind

    Great topic, and one I'd like to think Andy is watching.

    In the past my "trigger" band was Equilibrium, with a healthy side helping of Therion (2015). When I saw Equilibrium's logo appear I had to do a triple-take and then decided I was going, come hell or high water.
    Since then I've resolved to go every year (despite my joking protestations to the contrary), but the "holy shit! awesome!" bands since then have been Insomnium, then Omnium Gatherum, Kalmah and M.P.E. last year.

    Hard to say what a "trigger" band would be nowadays, maybe Ayreon (yeah riiight), Emperor, Old Man's Child or Immortal in some form.

    There are many bands that would make me instabook the cruise, but I think I'm gonna pick the same band that made me book for this year: Gojira.

    Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium would have been close before their recent tour announcements. I'm still pumped for them and I'll probably go, but Ancient Bards or In Mourning would make it automatic.

    Mine was in 2016 (my first cruise) when Stratovarius was announced, but by then I had already booked. I would probably say Stratovarius or Gamma Ray. They never tour the US. Wintersun would be one too.

    Yeah, but I'm not that into it, actually. Maybe I'll break it out again sometime soon. Crisis anyway had that '90s music vibe, a little more goovy.

    I've already decided that I'm definitely going next year but the band that would seal the deal for me is Myrath.

    Two years ago, it was Insomnium. My absolute personal #1 favorite, even though I'd seen them several times, the chance to see them on 70K was too good to pass up (and they're back this year!!!!)

    Last year, it was Mors Principium Est. I absolutely NEVER thought I would get a chance to see them live, and then to not just get that chance but to have it on 70K was absolutely epic.

    This year, didn't need a boarding band. No way I'm not gonna be on that boat again :viking:

    I don't need a boarding band to go on 70k though ironically the band that would automatically make me book was announced shortly after I booked last year - PAIN so they won't be on this year but they are also touring NA for the first time this fall :).
