I'd be happy if they just limited purchases to 2 per person.

I tend to get too hot most of the time, but the interior of the ship seems comfortable to me. If you're on the floor of the Allhambra (sp?) or the Pyramid Lounge, and up in the press, it will be warm. If you're further back, it's comfortable. The ice rink though, it always coolish unless the the pla...

This announcement arrived at the exact moment when I was listening to Forget Me Not... What are the odds.

Maybe on one of these shows they'll actually play Forget Not live. I sure as hell hope so.

Jesus Christ, what a nightmare of a lineup....

What he said.

If the next clue somehow isn't Voyager (from Australia), I'm going to be hugely disappointed. "The Meaning of I" and "V" were both brilliant albums. I don't think one clue was actually a clue to the name of the band other than the letter, so I'd bet against Voyager. Based on what's been announced s...

Drudkh?

As I mentioned in a different thread, "Survivors deciding to jump ship" could be exactly what the Skipper wants, to help newcomers have a chance to book. If he wants to ensure a full ship on a bigger ship next year, maybe that's his plan. But if he alienates a bunch of his regulars with t...

My wishlist consists of:

The first announcement.

What happened to the day 3 and 4 recaps for 2018 on 70,000 Tons TV?

I guess this never happened. Too bad. Great idea.

I'm not reading, but listening to "Kings of the Wyld" by Nicholas Eames. It's really fun. They talk about mercenary "bands" whose jobs are referred to as "gigs" and the people who find the gigs for them are called "bookers". There's tons of references, subtle ...

I am also fine with Behemoth.

Any of those would be good options. I wasn't impressed with Belphagor the last time they were on the cruise.

Demons & Wizards.

No chance that's it, but one can hope.

Seems likely it will be White Wizzard. <sigh>

Sgt. B wrote:None of these will happen, but I'd like:

Electric Wizard
Emperor
Entombed (Alex/Nicke/Uffe version)

All of those would be cool, but the way the lineup is going, it will be:

Elis
Elysion
or
Eyes of Eden

We're considering doing some scuba while there, as it's supposed to be one of the best places in the world to dive. However, we'd have to seriously limit out alcohol the day before, so we probably will just snorkel.

zerkz wrote:Please be Be'lakor.

Yes. Very much.

BEhemoth.

[quote="Pellaz"If it's Evergrey as the clue seems to imply....hey, that's cool. I've seen them I-dunno-HOW many times, but it's always good to see Tom and the boyz in "Everspray." [/quote] Yeah. I'm in the same boat as you (see what I did there?). Seen them a ton, but they're alw...

Yeah, but the next one is apparently Battle Beast. :o

Don't do that. Earlier this year I had a White Wolf song stuck in my head and couldn't figure out who it was. I finally did. I was embarrassed. Especially since I own the CD. :o

Who is we?

I certainly don't want them.

Those were entertaining.

It was awesome for some late night, drunken ice cream! I loved it!

I think he meant having a lineup with more prog than any other year, not entirely prog like that one was. And no Andy was not involved in that. I think 2014 had a fair amount of prog though Yeah. Exactly. This year was thrash heavy. Last year was, I think, black heavy. That's what I meant. I didn't...

You could just enter a 1 for every item you have no opinion about, then note them in the comments.

I figured it out. All answer are NOT optional. As long as I was leaving question bullets open, it was not giving me the Thank you at the end and was looping. As soon as I filled all the bullets it worked. The comment section is the only part that is really optional. Yeah. I can confirm this is the ...

I figured, "By now, they have the problem resolved," and didn't save my comments. WRONG!

Has the skipper ever done a prog-heavy cruise? Last year was thrash. What was the year before? Black? It's time for progmetal heavy cruise. I haven't got a huge list as a lot of other people have suggested a lot of great bands. Mine is obviously prog heavy. Anneke Van Geirsbergen - Great live Be'lak...

Possible solution: after the merch area is set up, they could have one of those 70K video people walk slowly through the merch area filming the merch, and then put it on the 70K video feed. I'd rather watch a merch walk-through video on my stateroom TV than a 70K TV interview from the previous year...

I never heard about the change to using numbers. Luckily, I was talking to a friend who was outside the room and he told me about it. I didn't notice the number dispenser kiosk. So I got number 969. By the way the numbers were moving, I was sure I was going to get my chance at merch on about Wednesd...

Thanks!

I was going to make a separate post, but it's just a quick question. Does anybody know what the death rays on the sides of the stages are? I'm sure they're some kind of sound equipment, but I've never seen them at any other show that I can remember. They look like a vertically mounted snare drum hea...

Seeing Mark from Death Angel sing and dance "Put One Foot In Front of the Other" (from The Year Without a Santa Claus). First he sand it in the elevator. Then, we saw him later in the art gallery, and my wife asked him to do it. He did! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OORsz2d1H7s

-Only saw 3 pit etiquette violations the whole time. I heard reports of people groping girls who were crowdsurfing but did not catch anyone doing so myself. Was amazed at how civil people were. I saw one of those. Well, I saw the reaction to it. That's just wrong and guys who do that need to go buy...

Turks and Caicos (sp?) is supposed to have some of the best scuba in the world. We're considerin not drinking the day before so we can scuba while there.

The problem at ProgPower USA was that they put the fog machine above the "ceiling" (it's like a lattice of 1' squares that they mount stuff on) instead of below it. In Studio B, they put it right behind a light or something similar. In both cases, the foam collected on the the ceiling/ligh...

Was it in the safe, or sitting out?

I haven't had that problem. CC charges were all legit last year. Haven't checked this year.....yet.

I got sick yesterday on the way home. At least I started feeling initial symptoms. Today, I have a full-blown cold. The sound was pretty uniformly lousy in the theater. It was much better in every other venue on the ship IMO. I also thought the pool was incredibly loud. I was using my standard heari...

We've decided that we're going to pass on Nicko's this year. We want to check out Miami, and if we drive up there we lose too much time.
