I agree, the Schooner was too crowded. I also think that the Viking Crowne Lounge would be great, much quieter and not far from my cabin too

I'm finally back online - except on Facebook - after a very busy year :cheers: At this stage, with all those announcements, I have quite a lot of bands that I hope to see at least once and hopefully Grave Digger twice (it will depends the other bands' planning). With the next announcements, I am jus...

I went to the Freedom Call show at Pratteln (Switzerland) on the 19th October and asked Chris if they will be back this year. He told me: 'Not this time, but who knows?'. So hopefully they will be back

Last gig: Accept at 70K
Next gig: Korpiklaani, Turisas and Trollfest at the Z7 Pratteln (Switzerland) - 9th March

I don't know why so many people didn't like them, but I do and I vote for Cyhra

Last gig: 70K 2018
Next gig: 70K 2019

I wasn't able to do any show the last year, I was too devastated by my mum's death

I will be there, but I don't know for how long time, it will depends if I'm not too tired.

Even if the Derdian's guitarist told me that they aren't invited yet, as it stay 9 bands to be announced, it still can happen, fingers crossed

I will be there, as every year

Imperial Age are out, they are touring while the cruise

As I already mentioned, Derdian are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, they have a fantastic new album called 'DNA', they would like to be on broad and I am requesting them since I had created my wishlist in 2012, before my very first cruise in 2013. Here is a live video recorded few days...

Derdian - DNA (I still hope that they will be on broad in 2019 for their 20th anniversary )

The advantage is that now I have the money to pay it full, but to be able to pay the flights and the hotels, I have been very strict all over the year, by buying only one album every 2 - 3 months (have still a lot to buy), to not buy what I need to buy for age, etc... I had to change my plans for 20...

Even if I have been quiet for age, I am still reading messages on the forum As a lot of us, I am totally disappointed by the silence of the 70K team, except the social media people who keep posting some same answers for months on FB. It's looks that they listen us but not hear us, they don't care th...

Last: Alestorm the last evening onbroad

I should have done Therion and Korpiklaani after the cruise, but cause of some family issues had to canceled those shows

Next: Ensiferum with Ex Deo and Wind Rose (will see them at last ) at the Z7 at Pratteln (Switzerland) on the 12nd May

I know that Wind Rose have contacted 70K, hope they will be there for the first time in 2019. Derdian would like to be onbroad, also for the first time. As I mentioned it on the wishlist thread, they are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and will get a new album, hopefully later this year...

Here is my wishlist: 4th Dimension Abinchova Amon Amarth Anti Tank Nun Apocalyptica Arrayan Path Astralion Avantasia Avelion Blind Guardian Celtibeerian Children of Bodom Chronomancy Crystallion Derdian (they are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and will get a new album. Time to get them...

Chris Bay - his first single of his solo album 'Radio Starlight' (his album 'Chasing the Sun' will be released on the 23rd February) SnakeyeS - Metal Monster Arrayan Path - Dawn of Aquarius Amberian Dawn - Darkness of Eternity Jonne - Kallohonka Highway - IV Ensiferum - Two Paths Eternal Fear - Kill...

SnakeyeS - Metal Monster

Last gig: DragonForce and Twilight Force at the Z7 (Pratteln - Switzerland) on the 26th October
Next gig: Iced Earth with Freedom Call at the Z7 on the 21st January

I will be there too

Exactly the same one than this year, an accessible cabin, 7624, with balcony

Sorry, I wasn't there a lot later, too busy outside of the computer I'm really happy with Freedom Call, Sabaton, Sonata Arctica, Korpiklaani and also Alestorm, all of them are on my wishlist Actually it turns to become my best edition of 70K, but it will be more than perfect with Wind Rose (they sou...

So far it has been "puke metal central". Very few non death/or growley thrash bands. Reality check: this is NOT Barge to hell tour. Reality check, this is NOT death metal festival. Keep it up and I am sitting this one out. Only TWO bands are to my liking so far: Rhapsody, Sonata Arctica a...

Freedom Call would like to be back (Lars told me in February, when I met them at Pratteln, that he was jealous when he knew that I was back from the cruise ) Few members of Derdian told me that it would be a dream for them to be on the ship, but still waiting even I request them since 2012, before m...

I agree

But also

Kaledon
Kamikaze Kings
Kotiteollisuus

You can find my full list on the wishlist 2018 thread, but my top 5 is: Freedom Call Veonity Twilight Force Derdian Ensiferum Here are some bands that I didn't know or forgot to add: Wind Rose (folk/power metal from Italy) Avelion (power metal from Italy) Melodius Deite (progressive/power metal from...

Last: Freedom Call at the Z7 in Pratteln (Switzerland) - 11st February
Next: don't know yet

Veonity - Into The Void

1. The best party you had this year. The show that made you lose your mind. Therion at the pool deck. I saw nothing but as it was my last show, that I was drunk, I gave 200% of myself by moving as I can 2. The best performance. Saltatio Mortis at the Alhambra, they're simply blown me away. 3. The mo...

4th Dimension Abinchova Alestorm Amberian Dawn Amon Amarth Anti Tank Nun Apocalyptica Astralion Avantasia Blind Guardian Celtibeerian Chronomancy Crystallion Derdian (the most wanted since my first cruise in 2013) Dreamshade Dynazty Ego Fall Ensiferum Epicrenel Eternal Fear Excelsis Finntroll Fogalo...

I will be there

Leaving Geneva on Sunday 29th at 9:15 am with United Airlines, landing at Newark at 12:35 pm, leaving Newark at 4:15 pm and arriving at Miami at 7:25 pm

Hopefully it will be Amberian Dawn They will begin the European Tour on the 10th February, they will celebrate their 10th anniversary and will get a new album very soon

Just discovered one of the support band of Freedom Call in February, they are more than certainly ruled out too, even if technically they could be there, it's the Swedish band Veonity They're simply fantastic, they sound like Freedom Call I'm very sad that they will be probably all out Hopefully the...

Kotiteollisuus - Vieraan Vallan Aurinko

Kotiteollisuus - Vieraan Vallan Aurinko

Btw, I don't know if anyone cares, but yesterday I watched Dynazty live (you don't know them? You should!!) and I talked to the guys for a while afterwards. According to what they said, unfortunately it seems extremely unlikely that they'll be onbroad. I lately discovered them thanks of a friend of...
