00:00 - 00:03 | The destination for 70,000 Tons of Metal has not been determined yet |
00:04 - 00:05 | It will probably be in Mexico or Bahamas |
00:05 - 00:07 | here, and here. |
00:08 - 00:12 | We expect this since UMC have shoved repeats down our throat for the past two cruises |
00:12 - 00:15 | and the line up so far has little to say to make us think otherwise. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Well we should know soon |
00:19 - 00:21 | the vote for location is to start in July. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Fuhrer... |
00:27 - 00:28 | It hasn't happened yet... |
00:31 - 00:33 | It is now August and we haven't had an announcement in two months. |
00:34 - 00:36 | There has been no sign of life from UMC, not even a countdown announcement. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who have not booked their cabins yet, get out. |
01:13 - 01:15 | This is bullshit! |
01:15 - 01:17 | If we had not booked before getting the full line up we wouldn't be in this situation! |
01:18 - 01:23 | It has given Andy the confidence that he can get away with booking unicorn shit like Leave's Eyes and Xandria |
01:25 - 01:28 | not to mention only 14 bands have been announced since March |
01:29 - 01:31 | How many fucking times do we have to go through this |
01:31 - 01:34 | This is the fifth cruise including Barge and they still don't have their shit together! |
01:34 - 01:37 | At this rate we'll be voting on the destination during the muster drill |
01:37 - 01:40 | and won't find out the full line up until the second day on the ship! |
01:40 - 01:42 | But sir, we know it will be a great time regardless of line up. |
01:42 - 01:46 | We could be trapped on a folk and power infused "metal" cruise by January for all we know! |
01:46 - 01:48 | We have no idea if there will be another Barge to Hell, we have to trust it will be a balanced line up of genres |
01:48 - 01:52 | Balanced?! You call the last 70K cruise genre balanced you power weenie scum? |
01:53 - 01:54 | Remember how much folk metal was booked? |
01:56 - 01:57 | The only saving grace was the last minute announcements of |
01:57 - 02:00 | Anaal Nathrakh, Inquisition and Onslaught |
02:00 - 02:03 | but even yet there was a gaping hole where more thrash, death and black metal should have been. |
02:04 - 02:08 | Does being a repeat customer mean nothing to this company?! |
02:08 - 02:13 | We are kept in the dark wondering where our money went, knowing we won't even see a running order until we're on the ship |
02:14 - 02:16 | half the reason why we booked immediately was to party with other cruisers, but hell we could have gone to Metaldays for that! |
02:17 - 02:21 | I want you to find that bastard Andy, check Russia first. He's probably getting tips on how to run a festival from Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | I'm getting so bored with the facebook group and the 70K forum... |
02:30 - 02:34 | with no announcements to talk about I can't help speaking my mind about music |
02:34 - 02:36 | and the power weenies are so fucking sensitive! |
02:41 - 02:42 | There is nothing we can do... |
02:43 - 02:47 | We can't cancel, Carcass and Overkill were booked and there's ever the hope we might get Bolt Thrower one day |
02:48 - 02:53 | I had thought it would get better over time, announcements would be earlier with contracts already in place. |
02:54 - 02:56 | I was a fool and so were all of you |
02:56 - 02:59 | That Swiss/Canadian bastard will continue to pull our heart strings |
03:00 - 03:02 | hanging off any crumb we can find like cruise-sick puppies! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Its okay, I'm sure we'll have an announcement by September. |
03:14 - 03:16 | I want our last time on the Majesty of the Seas to be special |
03:19 - 03:23 | to see Immortal on the pool deck and Morbid Angel in the Chorus Line theatre. |
03:25 - 03:26 | I guess we'll know "soon"... |
03:31 - 03:33 | At least we can plan our time in Miami. |
03:40 - 03:46 | I miss our cruise family. Even the power metal yuppies. I even miss the Norweigans, Swedes and New Yorkers. |
03:46 - 03:49 | The next 70K is only in a few months but... |
03:53 - 03:56 | we don't even know the destination. |
