dude chill, really. why want to be familiar with ALL bands?
leave something to surprise you
there will be bands, yes some MAY be announced before we leave. but it won't be 28 and you know it.

why i'm not worried?
i trust in Andy. he had always delivered
the line-up so far kicks ass (in my humble opinion)
there will be some more kick ass bands, and will they come? SOON!

I love seeing you bitch, bitch, bitch
We're going to Jamaica, relax man

I don't really know if this counts as a rumour or we're just being paranoid at this point. Anyway, Amaranthe, who has already been highly rumoured for this cruise, posted on their FB page that big news will come SOON. It has to be paranoia. Doesn't it? Whatever. I want bands. And Amaranthe would be...

These football players are so irresponsible. He should be more careful about where he aims that hadouken. He could put someone's eye out. Personally, I consider it more of a kamehameha, considering the charge-up time. Impossible. Everything in DBZ takes at least 3 episodes to happen. and krillin dies

then how about the watergun fight in kiddy pool?

just your average dutch viking

Metal Church just cancelled their appearance at Maryland Deathfest because they're still without a singer. I would count that as ruled out for 70k as well. doesn't say anything for 70K remember unleased? singer couldn't/wouldn't go beceause his kid was to young they still went and asked some other ...

i would like a sinterklaas announcement :-)

How as in how much time will we have to check out music from each band before heading out. none. just check it out abroad :-) You must be the first person I know about who enjoys the concerts just as much whether you're familiar with the band or not. Lucky you! :) lol don't be suprised, but there l...

If the scouting party is staying in England, my first choice would be Bolt Thrower.

You mean it could mean they go all the way down to the Netherlands and get Cliteater.

got to love those honest unmeant translation mistakes

in that case pick up heidevolk as well

not quite a shock since venom was already announced by aardschok
going down south could mean quite a lot:

carcass
cradle of filth
saxon (repeat)
dragonforce (repeat)

we'll see :-)

i'm real curious about the hunger games movie 3 part 1 and i do hope jurassic world doesn't suck any 80's (border 90's) kids here? ever heard a theory to combine jurassic parc with dino-riders? it was said that it was planned that the dinosaurs eventually got off the islands in costa rica some ventu...

i'm going for the double
i'll buy the winner 2 beers if i don't win now

next announcement will be............ SOON!

70K just isn't the normal type of festival. it's a one of a kind normal festivals in europe like graspop / hellfest etc. all have to get quite a lineup to get people (expect for wacken off course) 70K doesn't need that. especially after the first cruise didn't we all talked about everyone how freaki...

70K the cruise with NO backstage area. you can meet band members anywhere. it may be in the bar, during dinner or in the pool. or sometimes you just are waiting in the same elevator! are you guys excited yet? only 69 days (oew baby) to go https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/v/t1.0...

He did it right after me, the bastard, just like me, isn't it, on many of the boats I've been just before or after a serious artist. Come one, it is karaoke, it is supposed to suck like I do it! OK, Thursday drunk, needed to feel it, not working tomorrw btw... oh, and Johan is not really a bastard,...

Yep that was it. We got the première there as surturs rising wasn't releasd yet

My mistake about the 24/7 part. It seemed like 24/7 lol

the METAL karaoke. it goes on 24/7 during the cruise. sometimes you'll ears will start bleeding, sometimes a new talent hits the stage. and sometimes you'll get bandmembers wanting to share in throng 70 days to go, be ready to sing along! https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0...

can you remember THE chant? it started already with the maiden voyage in Cozumel.and traveled along the docks of Georgetown as seen below it started as a murmur but steadily grow louder and louder, if you're not on 70K you should know that: YOUR BOAT SUCKS!!!! only 71 days to go folks! https://scont...

Let's do a bet like last year about when the next announcement will come. Whoever gets closest win a beer from all the other entrants. I'll start with 20 November. Edit: Bets so far: 08.11. - onenight - OUT 11.11. - Dutchguy-Tim 13.11. - Phoenix 14.11. - ExtraneouS 15.11. - DragonLordJones 19.11. -...

yes i admit i have got i easy. i live together with my girlfriend (who is off course joining me) so yeah, i wanted i could check all band a week prior for boarding. no i don't need to sing along with the songs (although i will admit being able to is more fun) what i don't get is that to many people ...

o dear o dear i need to know what band is playing what before hand why so serious? Don't you enjoy the concerts much more when you are familiar with the band and the songs? Well, I do. It's not a matter of being serious, it's a matter of "I want to make the most of this experience and part of ...

Andy ALWAYS delivers. so why worry yeah, it may not be the perfect strategy but as longs as it works for andy, why bother? Because some of us want time to get familiar with ALL the bands onbroad, and decide which ones we like and which ones we don't. Unfortunately I haven't listened to every single...

11-11 is a good date as any

It helps if you can arrange something with them on Facebook (don't know if it's possible with Hansi). I've been talking to members of Korpiklaani and Equilibrium and so far they are open (and pretty enthusiastic) about having a drink with me. Let me know about your plans with the Equilibrium member...

in all 4 previous cruises the announcements came slow. but he, Andy ALWAYS delivers. so why worry yeah, it may not be the perfect strategy but as longs as it works for andy, why bother? in any case the scouting parties have returned. there are clues again, which is way more then last time. just sit ...

what's the bet?

i was thinking.. "what's up with all those bridges?" okay, he's giving us hints for the next bands.. but why bridges? i was reading the "forum v2.0" post and I just realized we are all posting in a forum called "the bridge"... does this have something to do with the &q...

maybe tehy indeed lost some scouts (which is common) and they are now making some obituary's.........

But today we got word that they dropped off another scouting party next to these beautiful bridges and then sailed off East South-East. Do you know where those bridges a...

heidevolk probably will not be abroad. I would love it if they were abroad though (seeing i missed them in 2013) but they are very busy with the new alblum. the question is if they can finish it on time and if they work it out with NB they'd better finish and get onbroad!!! I've been talking to the...

SCOUTING PARTY RECAP So we've got one party in Finland that judging by the clue will get Sonata Arctica or Wintersun. Another in Denmark that will get Pretty Maids, then travel to Sweden. Another in England that will get Venom. And the ship itself is heading for the Netherlands. Who do you think th...

baymetal: fun, get them abroad
poolgirls: fun, get them abroad - ow wait

both are good. stop bitching. there will be enough fun for everyone to come around

is it january yet ?
