    You know, the one in August with Marilyn Manson and special guests who I think I heard are System of a Down. I'm just wonder if anyone is actually going, I know loads of people from Temple Bar that are. Anyone here going?

    My boyfriend said that it is, I dunno who told him though. He hangs out at the bank in Temple Bar on the weekend and so many people he knows there are going, but I have to go with them as well, and I don't like some of them that much... Oh well. Do you hang out there at all mo_thoin? I don't.

    Cool! Hey, since you hang out there could you hang out with me some time? Maybe introduce me to people aswell? I don't really have any friends, and I never do anything on the weekends. What's your name and how old are you? Also, do you know Tadhg? Guy with long hair and bandana.

    i read this is a paper a couple of days ago,

    (by the way i'm not a huge maiden fan so don't quote me on this)

    there was an interview with their lead singer, he was talking about their last stop in dublin. He said that he brought out a union jack on the stage and the crowd started to boo.

    what was that about, i mean you go to their concerts, you buy their merch and you buy their music yet you boo their nationality.

    i'm surprised they are coming back to be honest

    Yea the ones booing the union jack were ****ing mongoloids. They hadnt a fecking clue what the trooper was about let alone the band id say.

    SOAD wont be supporting it will Dragonforce (i hope!)

    In happier news if your a swede. In Flames and Mostodon will be supporting Maiden in Sweden. We get Manson OH WHERE IS THE JUSTICE!

    Its a cool pic tho, I cant go coz the tickets are two dear, was at the last one in the point and Bruce said hed like to come back and play all the old favourites so I'd say itll be a good gig. I wont miss the Austrialian Pink Floyd Show tho.

    system wont be supporting. there is a likelyhood that they'll support slipknot (june 10th i think). already on that bill are helmet.. granted only with one original member, but the music's the same :)

    i also heard static-x could be playing either maiden or slipknot (again, it's more likely to be slipknot)

    Yeah Im going to that gig too, real pity manson isn't headlining. The ticket prices were a bit steep, so it better be really good!

    I'm going. I'm really looking forward to it as Maiden have influenced alot of the bands that I'm into at the moment. Should be a good gig, I hear they put on a great show. It will be interesting to see what Manson is like too. Can't say I am the biggest fan of his music but I will give him a listen anyway.

    Hopefully there will be some decent support along with them. Knowing this country there won't be though. :(

    Nope, 65 euro for one band for me is too much (yes I know MM is supporting, but I dont like him, so he doesnt count)

    Saw them the last time they played the point - and the tickets were decently priced.

    Roll on Slayer w/ Mastadon and roll on Nuclear Assault (let the thrash attack being all over again)

    nah, it is helmet and gizmachi (on clown from slipknot's new record label) who are supporting

    Doubt it, since they're playing in Germany that day.....

    I wouldn't think they're likely to turn up to either to be honest, maybe theres an outside chance they'd be at Oxegen or play a seperate gig, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope...

    Rumours abound that MEGADETH and Papa Roach are being added to the line-up. Ticket sales are brutal as I understand it.

    ticket sales are brutal as despite the fact that MM may have a fanbase here, most fans are not willing to part with 65 to see just one band (either MM or Iron Maiden)

    That is why I am not going, love to see Maiden again, but there is no way I can justify any of my money going towards MM - or any late announced support band*


    *and it aint going to be megadeth, papa roach, or anything else

    Opposite to Ph3n0M - Not a big maidan fan(used to be about 1988 ish
    when I heard 7th Son and Powerslave)
    but would love to see MM (hey could be a wicked stage show)
    but if I am going for fork out money 65-75 sheets want to make sure
    that the band I want to see is the headliner cause MM might only do 1 hour

    Still will prob end up buying a late ticket tho

    What is the crack with line up tho its completely f-ed up
    Why dont they have maiden with somebody else that their fan base would enjoy

    And dream of dreams a NIN / Minisrty gig with Manson in support - twill never happen tho

    Roll on slipknot was never really a fan till saw them at metallica last year

    anyway that is my 2 cents worth

    Later
