One silver lining for me is that, HOPEFULLY, if they are scrambling for bands, it increases the chances of other bands with current members on board being added because obviously there is already a member on the boat anyway, and if they are on the boat it means their other band obviously doesn't ha...

That was fun!

I got 19. Definitely a few brain farts that made me miss some that I should have known.

For anyone planning on spending extended amounts of time in the casino - I hope you like smoke. Maybe I'm just a softy from California where cigarettes are banned basically everywhere outside the home, but I couldn't stand being in there for much longer than the time it takes to walk from one end to...

Just the thought of being Andy right now, with 9 spots open and potentially no clue who's going to fill them gives me anxiety. I'm surprised that guy doesn't break out in hives every January with all this last minute shit. The cruise has been fantastic every single year and he has never failed to bo...

Hey contrataque, I already have my cabin set and I already found another spot for my buddy. James never got back to me. Sorry for the bad news! For some good news, there will definitely be more people who need to fill a spot. As the months go on and people bail for whatever reason, just be ready. Se...

Hey if this spot's still available I have a friend who's interested. Let me know!

Hey I have a friend who's interested! He's a first timer but it'll be my third cruise. Let me know if it's still available!

Hey I have a friend who is interested as long as the spot isn't crazy expensive. I've been on in 2012 and 2015 and will be there next year. My friend's a first timer. We're also on the west coast (LA). Let me know!

Drudkh would be fantastic but I'd definitely say they're a little dreary. Dragonland?

I have a lot of zeroes that need to turn into ones and twos. Abandon Hope - 0 Alestorm - 4 Amorphis - 0 Annihilator - 2 Apocalyptica - 0 Arch Enemy - 2 Artillery - 0 Behemoth - 1 Blind Guardian - 0 Cannibal Corpse - 1 Crucified Barbara - 0 D-A-D - 0 Destruction - 2 Divided Multitude - 0 Einherjer - ...

If I may add to this great list, I'd say if you're not used to walking up 70000 tons of stairs, start getting your legs in shape now. Do some squats or something or your legs will be angry with you.

Dismember reunion? Hopefully that isn't too impossible.

Derdian is awesome but oh so flowery. I would definitely catch a set or two.

Aaaaand HELSOTT

Nothing like enjoying a show and getting a random foot to the back of the head. Fuck crowd surfing. I must be the only one who doesn't mind this. I love the chaos. Also I don't how about other years since I went in 2012, but the floors tended to be reeeeal slippery especially on the pool deck which...

Seriously a fun group of dudes. Even if you don't like their music, be glad they're onbroad!

In. It's been a lonnnngg 3 year wait since my last trip.

I'm down to share a cabin. I went in 2012 and have been dying to go back. Hit me up if you have room!

Here goes... tried to keep it to bands with a semi-realistic chance and no 2013 repeats. Anata, Apocalyptica, At the Gates, Blind Guardian, Bloodbath, Blut Aus Nord, Bolt Thrower, Chthonic, The Crown, Decapitated, Derdian, Dew Scented, Disavowed, Dragonland, Drudkh, Enforcer, Equilibrium, Esoteric, ...

So google maps has a 'treasure map' setting for April Fool's Day. Perfect for drooling over possible destinations.

And I don't care what you say about Meshuggah, but this video is great.

Looks like they just got fucking bored on their tour bus.

How in the heck did this thread get so long without mention of these two classics?

Immortal - Call of the Wintermoon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w

Candlemass - Bewitched
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3uvf0cn0jo

It sure seemed like they had The Fathomless Mastery by Bloodbath on repeat for most of the trip. Not complaining.

I know I heard December for BtH, but were the actual dates announced? They had a sign outside the BOLEROS LOUNGE that had the Dec. 3 - Dec 7 dates on it for Barge to Hell, so it is pretty much set in stone for those dates Is anybody else thinking that it will be kind of hard to have BtH in December...

The more I think about it... the more I'm convinced that I'll be doing this again no matter what. But Dragonland would definitely do it for me.

Here I go, thinking facebook photo links will work. Long story short, my Epic Meal Time shirt got lots of attention.

Candlemass - Anybody know the song title? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fbFAXBloAQ&hd=1 Dark Are The Veils Of Death from the Nightfall album. Number of sets seen: 20 something. Don't feel like listing them all but I saw Moonsorrow, Hammerfall, and Candlemass both times for the full set, most ...

Can't think straight yet but Greg, I'm pretty sure the Karaoke Dave guy was Dave Padden from Annihilator. And yeah he could fuckin' sing.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head... Last year they had a belly flop contest and an open mic thing but I don't know about anything like that for this year.

The meet and greet schedule will be released with the running order I believe. I'm assuming the same goes for the guitar clinic the guy from Annihilator is doing, etc.

Hey Donn, I haven't seen this asked in this thread anywhere, but is it going to be possible to have the 49ers/Giants game on at the preparty? I know there's at least a few other football fans (aka 'Mericans) who would be interested also.

Suddenly, that reality show is looking like a pretty fucking good idea! /popcorn

Libertine, Sorry to offend. I guess I consider bands who haven't released an album in 16 years and probably haven't toured the U.S. probably in that same timeframe (if not longer) pretty unknown at this point. You'd have to be DEEP into the early 90's Florida DM scene (and of age or live in the are...

Page 5! I gotta take my posting game to the next level.

I'm surprised nobody is requesting a 20 minute Moonsorrow epic.

In my opinion, if you dig Pabst and other shitty beers and you enjoy drinking it then consider yourself lucky! All these snobs with their delicate sensibilities and shit have to pay like 3 times as much to get just as drunk! This is where I have to say...shitty beer?? Ich verstehe NICHT!!!! Not shi...
