I'd shit bricks if Wintersun was confirmed along with details of their new album.

Hoping nobody posted this guessed-lineup already:

Friday:
1. Myrath
2. Revamp
3. Machine Men
4. Ihsahn
5. Falconer
6. Blind Guardian

Saturday:
1. Heavenly
2. Loch Vostok
3. Alestorm
4. Anubis Gate
5. James Labrie
6. Rhapsody of Fire

Cool lineup. Ihsahn would be a pretty expensive 4th slot though.

 

[guardian26]

Here's my guesses and hopes.
Fri:
Myrath
Machine Men
Bloodbound
Anubis Gate
Heavenly
Allen/Lande


Sat:
Hibria
Circus Maximus
ReVamp
Falconer
Blind Guardian
James Labrie

 

[Pellaz]

What the heck....can't win if you don't play, and this is $1 cheaper than the lottery.

Fri
TesseracT
Myrath
Anubis Gate
Machine Men
Ihsahn
Rhapsody of Fire

Sat
Vindictiv
Hardcore Superstar
Falconer
ReVamp
James Labrie
Blind Guardian


I have a feeling this year's winner will come down to days and slot-placement, and there could easily be a multi-way tie.

 

[Mynock]

Cool lineup. Ihsahn would be a pretty expensive 4th slot though.

Yeah I thought after posting it maybe I should've put him in 5th slot. *shrug* oh well, it's done now. we'll see the results in less than a couple of weeks :Spin:

I vote that the previous winners must post first! That way we can key off of their perspicacious prognostications!

[DarkOne]

This is a hard task. It's hard enough to rank the bands and decide at which slot they deserve to play. Maybe Glenn does know something after all!

I wouldn't want to miss out on my chance to be the only person to get zero bands correct, so here goes:


Fri

• 1 Eyefear
• 2 Voyager
• 3 Serenity
• 4 Wolverine
• 5 Mob Rules
• 6 Falconer

Sat

• 1 Pantommind
• 2 Manimal
• 3 Labyrinth
• 4 Volbeat
• 5 Pretty Maids
• 6 Symphony X - Performing V in its entirety

So, there you go. A decent balance of prog and power. Small bands opening early. No budget breakers, I think. No oddball band, but I never know them anyway. With all of that logical thought, I'm pretty sure I failed miserably.

That said, I'll be waiting in anticipation for the Friday night announcement.

There is no way Falconer would be a headliner. They just aren't a big enough band. Despite having six albums under their belt, they don't even warrant a decent time slot on one of the smaller stages at Wacken. I believe they played at 11:45AM on the Party stage, last time they played that fest.

Here in the US, I find it unlikely that they'd be slotted at higher than an opening, or maybe a second band slot. I'm delighted that there are fans on this forum that think so positively of them, though.

My, uh, what?!

Truthfully I'd be shocked if I got more than 4 bands correct. This is largely guesswork this year, with 11 new bands.
I won this contest last time with 6 bands correct (I think)....I'll be astounded if anyone gets that close this time. Or if people do get that close, it will come down to slot choices and dates for the win.

Still...it's the journey that's fun, here, not so much the destination. There are a LOT of worthy bands out there!
