Lumber Jack Off · Post by **Lumber Jack Off** » Sat Oct 16, 2010 4:27 am

More bands have been confirmed for the 70000 Tons Of Metal cruise, which is set to sail from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico on January 24, 2011 and return four days later. A total of 40 acts will appear at the event.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows:

AGENT STEEL
AMON AMARTH
CRIPPER
DARK TRANQUILLITY
DEATH ANGEL
ENSIFERUM
EPICA
EXODUS
FEAR FACTORY
FINNTROLL
FORBIDDEN
GAMMA RAY
ICED EARTH
KORPIKLAANI
MARDUK
MOONSPELL
NEVERMORE
OBITUARY
RAGE
RAVEN
SABATON
SANCTUARY
SAXON
SODOM
SONATA ARCTICA
SWASHBUCKLE
TESTAMENT
TROUBLE
TÃR
ULI JON ROTH
UNLEASHED
WITCHBURNER

SAXON will play two unique shows. One night they will perform the "Wheels Of Steel" LP in its entirety and on a different night, for the second show, they will play "Strong Arm Of The Law" from start to finish.

70000 Tons Of Metal will sail Monday, January 24, 2011 aboard the Royal Caribbean "Majesty of the Seas" from Miami, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico and will not return you to the real world for four days until Friday, January 28, 2011.

Make no mistake, 70000 Tons Of Metal is not your grandma's cruise. It's also not one of the cruises that share the ship with normal cruise guests. This is an all-ship heavy metal cruise! Can you imagine that? A whole luxury cruise ship full of metalheads? And since there is no backstage area you will have the opportunity to mingle side-by-side with the artists in this incredibly fan-friendly scenario that has no comparison. It's like everyone has a backstage pass and you might even need a vacation from this vacation when all is said and done!

Ticket prices start at US$666 plus US$249 taxes and fees per person and include all on-board entertainment, all meals and non-alcoholic and non-carbonated drinks at the on-board restaurants and 24-hour room service! 75% of the cabin rooms have already been sold.

fuuuuck, seeing iced earth and dark tranquillity while on a fucking boat in the ocean? oh yes. Too bad the tickets are so high

Seeing Iced Earth and Dark Tranquility while on a fucking boat in the ocean would suck, but seeing Testament, Exodus, and Obituary while on a fucking boat in the ocean would rule!

I don't think they would still be announcing bands at this point if tickets were not selling.

Bah, same marketing ploy infomercials use to offload an entire warehouse full of crap. But you do make a good point. With a few months left they'd have scratched this cruise if they hadn't already turned a profit.

Do the bands stay on the boat as well or do they just show up on their own transporter boat and then leave after their set? I just picture a separate boat ferrying them to the yacht filled with chicks and booze and drugs and chicks.

that is fucking incredible

too bad it would be a total sausage fest though

depending on what scion fest does, this will probably be the best american festival of the year

This trip looks reallly cool and I wish I had bought a ticket a long time ago. Don`t know if the my girlfriend would
go for it.

This seems like it should be called 70,000 tons of cock cruise. Cool lineup though.

That boat is going to smell like shit.

Bodom J (2) · Post by **Bodom J (2)** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 7:53 pm

I think it would be fun. I don't care if it is a sausage fest; I have a girlfriend so wouldn't be looking to score anyway. I think it would be cool to be around a bunch of metal dudes. I don't know any guys who like metal, I would like to meet some for once.

buck satan · Post by **buck satan** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 7:56 pm

Everyone on the pbb listens to metal. Go to any metal show. 99% of these people are not anyone you want to hang out with.

Leviathan · Post by **Leviathan** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:12 pm

Seriously. I'd probably jump overboard at some point.

Mad Muir · Post by **Mad Muir** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:49 pm

Usually whenever I go to shows I get a fairly large section of people that just listens as I verbally assault other metal heads poor fashion choices

Mad Muir · Post by **Mad Muir** » Mon Oct 25, 2010 8:50 pm

Hahah I remember going to a show in fresno for LoG, shadows fall, and slipknot, and there were these 2 slipknot fans in orange jumpsuits getting married. Tying the knot at a 'knot show. maggots

Death Angel
Testament

I think it would be funny if all the bands except for swashbuckle made it off alive

White Boy · Post by **White Boy** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 3:11 am

This would we awesome if it was just me on the boat with these bands and not the other fans. Unless they were hot babes.

Tyson · Post by **Tyson** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 3:41 am

Oh there will be plenty of hot babes on this boat, if you are inferring hot due to the sun and babes as in the movie babe

I'd rather stick my dick in a central vac socket.

Tyson · Post by **Tyson** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 5:50 am

Once again, there will be women on this cruise to suit this desire

Neslepaks · Post by **Neslepaks** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:40 am

Semi-Norwegian cruise line, and no Norwegian bands.

They don't want some wingnut black metal band lighting the boat on fire.

10 Reasons Why 70000 TONS OF METAL Is The Best Festival Ever

http://www.metalinjection.net/show-reca ... l-festival

apparently the ship did sell out and they plan on doing it again next year. i'm pissed that I didn't go but I honestly couldn't afford it at the time.

The US should use this ship to lead an armed invasion of the Middle East...preferably with Marduk playing Panzer Division from start to finish...Arab fuckers would shit themselves

Looks like a bitchin' time though, how much is this trip versus say a festival like Wacken or Hellfire?

Your choice to be playing as we make landfall?
