Thanks!
I know a ton of people hate on The Sword but I love their first album "Age of Winters" and find myself listening to it quite regularly. I could listen to the song "Freya" over and over again and still not get tired of it, just a killer riff....
Frickin' AWESOME!!!
Anyone else dying to do the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise!!!? They announced the next one is Jan 2012. I would have loved to go on this last one. I could not even imagine cruising for a few days with Amon Amarth!!

The Sword on the other hand, although very Black Sabbathish are amazing...I've seen them live a few times once with Amon Amarth as a matter of fact...talk about a band that sounds very powerful live made me wish I was traveling down sweet leaf road lol
What week are you going in October? The DW and I are looking to go sometime between 10/14 - 10/30...we are planning to do a bi-coastal gimmick...Disney World and Disneyland in 1 trip...Boston - Orlando - California-Boston!! Most Metal trip ever.....
A thread on the Disboards that I can dig!!!!! I have found my people, lol We aren't your typicaly Disney family.
I haven't read all the posts but awesome that I'm not alone....I'll just mention a few of the bands that have been in heavy rotation in my stereo just bought "In this Moment" really love "gun show" but some of the other songs are a bit slow. But it's cool.....I've been rotating Throwdown Madball and Hatebreed alot but since it's almost summer tour season, I've been educating my kids on Megadeth since I'm taking them this summer. I'm thinking about Slipknot if they do tour the US not sure as I only know of Europe dates. If it's music I could go on and on but I'll just sit back and lurk for a bit
- however, small problem 
, DH. He is NOT a music lover like I am. He is sweet and accompanies me to all of my shows w/ no protest and he does listen to it when I crank it up (OK- so I guess he has no choice 
) and never complains but I know he would not want to do the cruise. Why do I know? I already asked a while back. LOL. I will have to "work on him" and see what happens A thread on the Disboards that I can dig!!!!! I have found my people, lol We aren't your typicaly Disney family.

You have been a member since 2009 and you are just finding us now? Shame on you! ) I hope you have the parental controls locked and loaded for keep out American Idol and some of those other brainless, stomach turning shows I've never been able to see Megadeth so I'm pretty jazzed about finally seeing Dave live.....this may be blasphemy to some people I like Metallica, but I LOVE Megadeth. And while I have neve seen either live yet. (I doubt I'll ever see Metallic, venues are too big) I know Dave won't let me down, lol lol
However, when it comes to Van Halen, IMO, if you choose Sammy over Dave- THAT would be considered blasphemy LMAO.Thanks for the pics!!!! From the clips that show up on my Facebook page- it looked like everyone had a great time. The cruise seemed to be small and intimate- am I right? I like that feel. That is why I try and see my bands at the small venues. I am not into the festivals and the huge venues anymore.
Was last year the very first cruise they did? You were on the ship with Amon Amarth!!!??
The clips of the karaoke looked hilarious! I DESPISE karaoke, but I would not pass up a chance to see a lot of the guys doing it- I am sure it was priceless.
THAT would be awesome

It was a great time! This was the first time they did this, and there were only 2000 tickets, which definitely made for an intimate feel. There were 3 stages: the main theater, a smaller lounge, and the pool deck. Best part- no bad sight lines! I'm 5' so that's always a concern for me at shows, but whereever I stood you could see just fine.
If you're having problems talking your DH into it tell him this- they run the normal cruise stuff too while the bands are going on( some of those "how to" activites, casino, etc.). This year I know a few people that came with their non-metal spouses and they found ways to entertain themselves while the other was out watching bands.
All the bands they got too were really cool, the people tht run this said they made sure to tell the bands ahead of time that unless they stay in their room when not playing, they will run into fans, so if they weren't comfortable with that then they should not take up the offer. It was cool too, I mean you get a little nervous when Chuck Billy and yourself are dancing around each other as your trying not to walking into each other going down the little hallways, but everyone was cool with the musicians, and vice versa.
........"oh god, here comes that chick again- I better brace myself...." LMAO.
Eh, maybe I won't lurk too much
I def. dig older Hatebreed bonus took the kids to see Hatebreed (christmas present) they did all the old stuff...my daughter was disappointed a little but when they did "Live for This" I thought she was gonna jump out of her skin....soooo worth it...
Nah. I think the MegaDave vs Metallica thing is kind of like Ozzy vs Dio.... Whatever blows up your skirt
Now SOMETIMES you can make an exception for the big venues. I would say if you never saw Metallica (or Slayer)- make that exception
I heard a few bands say how they were worried about the fans at first but then said how cool they all were.
Sooooo- I guess it would be frowned upon to TACKLE Johan Hegg whenever I saw him???
Haha maybe, if you yell something like "surprise" or "happy birthday" first, all bets are off though
The issue I have with big venues is, well I have a small anxiety about really large crowds, lol And truly I've been spoiled by being able to go to clubs with less than 500 people and really getting into the music. I have seen GWAR on 2 different occasions, and the smaller venue was the best by far. I'd like to see Slayer one day living where I do (in no where land) they don't tend to tour this area much. Plus is it just me or do ya miss the days of the 80's big shows where it was Gen Admission and everyone just pilled in and the challenge was getting to, and staying in the front....That's why smaller venues rock lol But I'll suck it up for Megadeth....maybe even Metallica...lol
