So the show is officially less than 4 weeks away......

[Jasonic]

Will there be an official announcement as to the exact running order of the bands?

Yes, I know there is one on the official site.

I have been to various sites though like Songkick, etc, where the date the band lists they are playing does NOT agree to what's on the site.

Might be good to make an official lineup announcement.

And yes, that SHOULD include trying to get something out on Metal Underground, Blabbermouth, BWBK, etc.

Bury the hatches folks! It's about the festival now!!!!!!!!

[Justin Gaines]

Seriously. This would be an ideal time for a PR campaign.

[Diabolik]

blame Obama.

Time for promo is now or never.
Regardless of what some might think, there are thousands who don't know about this fest and getting the word out on the major metal news wires would indeed help!

Not trying to be a jerk here, but trying to be constructive.

Bob - Can you get a confirm for us as to the "official" running order?

[Justin Gaines]

Seriously, get me something reasonably presentable and I'll have it posted to the HRH site.

[Diabolik]

I will get a hold of mike today and get all the info you need....stuff is in the works.

[Jasonic]

Ok, so the show is TWO Weeks away!!!!!

Running order of bands and set times would be appreciated.

[SteelFireRecs]

Does no one check the website ever???? The running order of bands has been set for MONTHS, and there is no set times listed and Odin said he would not be publishing those. Here is the link to the website which no one looks at apparently with who plays what day and the order. You can pretty much assume how long a set will be if the show starts at 6 and what time Mojoe's closes http://www.ragnarokkrmetal.com/details.html

[Diabolik]

we no one goes to web sites anymore....forums and social media is where it is at. Plus the main page seems to never get an update....just saying.

Posting set times would be a good move since I do know that some people have to come late and are scared of missing bands they want to see....by posting set times they can know when the bands are playing instead of just blowing off the night thinking they may miss them.

[Jasonic]

OK, I hate to be a jerk.
I know the set order is posted.
I am simply trying to generate discussion about the fest, as its less than 2 weeks away and very little talk.,

[TychoCelchu]

I got my plans finalized earlier this week...vacation time from work approved, flights booked, hotel room arrangement squared away....all that's left is the banging of the head and the throwing of the horns.

[Diabolik]

there was lots of discussion at the Superchrist show last saturday.

look for me there on friday. hit me up on facebook.

[TychoCelchu]

Will do man -
And looking forward to Stone Magnum to get the weekend rolling

[Master_Yoda77]

Damn, too fucking excited for this show. Almost all the bands are great (not a fan of Voz, but I shouldn't judge based on one song) and I'm really getting into Pharaoh and Brocas Helm more so than I used to. Virgin Steele is still going to be the highlight though. Amazing band.

[Diabolik]

there are so many bands to get excited for. It is going to be hard to try to even go to the washroom and walk away for a bit even.

[Jasonic]

Agreed! And I think its time to start directing the conversations back to the bands and the music as a way to bring in those last remaining fence sitters. So many great bands here folks. Enough talking about pre show, traffic, hotels, NATO, etc, etc,....
Let's talk about what matters!!! The music!!!

[Diabolik]

the worst part with this strong of a line up is having time to socialize and stuff as well. Never thought I would ever see 80% of these bands.

[Jasonic]

We can all socialize at the blackjack table at Harrah's after the show!

[SteelFireRecs]

I feel like out of all this no one is really giving Wizard to much of a mention. Are people not excited for Wizard?

[Diabolik]

I am not really a fan but will stay to watch them since this will probably be the only time I will ever see them here.

[Jasonic]

Well, they are the oddball band on the bill, as far as the more well-known bands are.
This is to be expected.
I am sure after their set people will be talking about them more.

I agree. There have been people telling me that they are excited to see them and one of the reasons they are going but I think the rarity of seeing Brocas Helm / Pharaoh / Voltax is what is getting people excited.

I think Jason is right....I am sure they will gain a lot of new fans after they play.

I'm excited about them, even though I only have one of their albums. I mean, it's a German power metal band. You know they're going to be fun live.

[Jasonic]

Exactly. I am sure they will be fun.
I know they are a fav of Mike and Chris and that's why they were invited.
That's completely awesome. I know if I did a fest, I of course too would book a band or two for just me where I wouldn't care if people were interested or not. Its par for the course.

Once again, nothing against WIZARD. I just think the core Ragnarokkr crowd is more into traditional metal as opposed to German power metal.

Though its certainly a genre that would be appreciated and go over well.
