Ragnarokkr 2015 Wish List

[J. Golden]

I'll play.

Running Wild would certainly be a home run.
Nasty Savage reunion
Paradox
Icon (to capture attention from a difference audience, and I think everyone would be surprised how well it would work)
Fifth Angel
Warrior
Demon
Tygers
TTD (seen they way many times, still they would work well)
Solitude Aeturnus ( it is doom that can hold non-doom people's attention)

 

[MERCILESS666]

Jeremy, you have been like a loaded gun with that photo, ready to shoot when the time is right!!!!! LOL.....

In my opinion, I would stick mostly with non-overseas bands.
there are PLENTY worthy bands that are high on most folks wish list that would make for a humdinger of a lineup.

I am speaking mostly from a cost perspective.

Sure, we would all love (insert random NWOBHM band) to play, but euro flights are not cheap!

For a quarter of that cost, you could land one of MANY in demand cult metal bands from the States.

 

[Jasonic]

Oh, but please remember, my thoughts above do not apply if we are speaking of Pagan Altar or Solstice.

Thank you.

 

[Jasonic]

Or Tony Martin, though I have no idea the last time that he did the Headless Cross thing.
That was at least 5 years ago now, if not longer.

I agree with this too, though I think if the right band came along like Satan, it would be worth the cost, and that's the thing. To fly an overseas band, they have to be a band that's going to draw people. Sadly, I don't think Headless Cross will.

 

[DMR]

Nocturnus!
Cromlech!

Those are the two bands I want most on the fest.

I'd like to see Nocturnus too, think that would also be a good score.

 

[Diabolik]

I also need to add Volture, i've been pushing for them since year 2.

talked to Ryan at Brofest and he was down.

 

[Justin G]

He is right Jason, he can barely handle it now.

That's awesome.

If Steve Grimmett's band will draw, so will Tony Martin.

 

[Keir]

Fifth Angel and Liege Lord would be great if you can get original lineups.

Hell yes!

Metal Church

Yes, but let's do it in true Ragnarokkr fashion and get Mike Howe for a special one-time reunion! (Or maybe Heretic with Mike Howe...)

 

[Diabolik]

Liege Lord
Fifth Angel
Heathen
Impaler
Twisted Tower Dire
Ruthless
Militia
S.A. Slayer / Karion
Icon
Volture

 

[Vegetaman]

Hmmm... I think most of this has been mentioned already, but:

Tony Martin/Headless Cross (I would love this, personally)
Jag Panzer
Armored Saint
Solitude Aeturnus
Procession
Grand Magus
Saint Vitus
Victor Griffin's In-Graved (may not draw; but it was really good live)
High Spirits
Metal Church

On the "wishful thinking" front...

Dream Evil (probably wouldn't draw and expensive from overseas but I would love to see them one day)
King Diamond (Lee and I were going to see him back when Candlemass was touring but they cancelled the tour due to his back)
Astral Doors (they'd be a bring in from Sweden and I doubt they have a big draw, but they're solid afaik)

KAI HANSEN w/ STORMWARRIOR playing WALLS OF JERICHO (he has done this before at a euro fest)

/end of discussion.

How did I know that was coming?

 

[Keir]

OK, thinking about overseas bands I agree that people shouldn't just throw out every band they wish they could see, but obviously having a couple European bands that don't normally play in the US is one of the draws of Ragnarokkr. With that in mind, here is my first suggestion:

Stormwitch
- cult appeal (I definitely saw a few Stormwitch patches last weekend)
- currently active (in the process of recording a new album)
- still great live

classic tune:

How about the band WALLS OF JERICHO playing a Gamma Ray set??? :zombie:

 

[Jasonic]

If Steve Grimmett's band will draw, so will Tony Martin.

Grim Reaper had an arseload more commercial appeal and exposure than any Tony Martin era Sabbath album did. Trust me, I am a Martin fanboy, but I would not say with 100% certainty that it would be a home run.

though there certainly are a lot more people interested in Martin era Sabbath now than when those albums were first recorded, so who knows.

Is he even doing anything musically these days?

 

[Keir]

This is something of a dream of mine, but I'll be damned if I don't do everything in my power to make it happen:

Breaker (Canada)


Singer Rik Anthony is still singing and sounds incredible in this Iron Maiden tribute:


As I understand it Kevin Bradley reunited with Witchkiller recently (though nothing seems to have come of that reunion):

Don't know about the other members.
