| ____________________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:14am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Fear Factory alone is 70000 tons |
| __________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:17am - reimroc ""] Joe Christianni was going to go to this for Fear Factory but bringing his girlfriend would've exceeded the 70000 ton weight limit alone. |

| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:27am - arilliusbm ""] I hope the 20 TBA bands are better than most on that list |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:31am - nekronaut ""] When this website first popped up I was thinking maybe, even registered for pre-sale cabins.. that was months ago, line up has expanded since then but I'm not really into the majority of them to merit spending a grand to see them.. Unless the next 20 tba are monumental bands I will just stay here and wait for most these bands to play the Palladium, because they have and will again. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:32am - BrianDBB ""] From what i've read, they might save the 'bigger' band announcements for the end to get the more expensive cabins filled in later. Small chance, but I'd like to see King Diamond Iron Maiden Rhapsody of Fire Dragonland Blind Guardian Hammerfall Symphony X |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 27,2010 11:33am - arilliusbm ""] Wait, that's a concert, not a playlist? |
| __________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 4:32pm - BrianDBB ""] Next weeeeeeeek, drinkin $8 specials the entire time |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 4:33pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] boats n ho's boats n ho's |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 4:40pm - boblovesmusic ""] Still don't believe this is real |
| ________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 4:45pm - beleth ""] FUCK!!!! If I knew about this 2 months earlier, I'd do it for sure. Even if most of the bands are lame, the concept is fucking awesome. |
| _________________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 4:58pm - TheRidersofDoom ""] itt lots of sweaty hairy dudes and their girlfriends |
| ________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 5:14pm - Mark_R ""] I like a lot of the bands listed, but I think I'm not alone in thinking that doing it this way is an interest-blunter. It's just biting off too much at once. Especially for the first year this is happening. As Nekronaut pointed out above, all or most of these bands will be touring and it makes more sense to me to see them on their separate tours. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 6:54pm - ValkyrieScreams ""] Anata was supposed to play this too. If I had 2 grand to throw around, that would have convinced me to buy a ticket. But they're not playing anymore. And I'm not that wealthy... nor wealthy at all. So fuck it. Cruise sounds nice, but next time I see the rest of these bands at the Palladium, I'll just let my imagination conjure up a boat. I like snow better than tropical weather anyway. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 20,2011 9:56pm - BrianDBB ""] I was sold on the concept alone, nevermind the solid lineup. Not the best, but I assume after a good 1st year the promoter could always make this annual... assuming they aren't already broke from this. Blind Guardian, Testament, Iced Earth, drinking, Cozumel, and more drinking is definitely worth the hefty price tag... fuck it |

| __________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 1:33pm - BrianDBB ""] Thanks dude, everyone on the forums has been waiting for the order for WEEKS |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 1:34pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] FINNROLL? ORLY? |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 1:35pm - AndrewBastard ""] its actually a pretty rad lineup...enough bands that I'd want to see to justify going if I wasnt broke back mountain |
| __________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 2:09pm - BrianDBB ""] I'll definitely be broke AFTER this shit. 24/7 bars on this could be the death of my bank account/liver |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 21,2011 2:34pm - NuclearWinter ""] That's why your plan of action should be to fill water bottles with clear rum and bring them in your carry-on luggage. |
| ______________________________ [Jan 21,2011 3:22pm - Yeti ""] that lineup is awesome. though the idea of being stuck on a boat with metalheads is stomach-turning. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 4,2011 9:48am - BrianDBB ""] This was the best festival i'll ever attend, just for the experience alone. So much drinking with bands, buffets, gambling, and just being an asshole all week. If the lineup looks really solid next year, all should consider doing this. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 4,2011 10:41am - BrianDBB ""] Oh I definitely understand the cost issue, but if you can manage to pay off the tab fuck it.. shit ruled |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 4,2011 10:45am - arkquimanthorn ""] was it packed? most of the rooms full? |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 4,2011 1:48pm - ancient master ""] did you hang out with Roth the whole time? thats what I would have done |
| __________________________________ [Feb 4,2011 9:06pm - demondave ""] If I had a ton of money I would have loved to go to this. I looked at the running order and I thought it was really cool to have the bands playing more than once on different stages. That way you didn't have to miss a band or you could see ones you liked more than once. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 1:14pm - narkybark ""] I'm still amazed at all the big name bands they got for this |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 1:39pm - NuclearWinter ""] Did anyone see the beer selection on this cruise? God awful. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 1:41pm - NuclearWinter ""] I was initially interested in this thing when it was first announced, but for the price, one could fly to Europe for a festival to see worthwhile bands, rather than garbage that comes through town twice per year. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 2:08pm - BrianDBB ""] Strawberry margaritas all week or GTFO. This was an expensive concert with a great lineup. Could've flown to Europe but who gives a shit, this ruled |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 23,2011 2:14pm - NuclearWinter ""] I give a shit about not imbibing in concoctions generally reserved for the womanfolk and giving my money to bands who have all been cover features in Decibel Magazine. |
