cournioni

I have seen far better gigs than Metallica last year in the RDS, but I'm going to see them again this year. Lets just hope they pick a good setlist.

Looking forward to the gig.I'd say there'll be a lot more St Anger stuff this time around though.

Ronan|Raven

Im contemplating buying a ticket for it but the bloody price of them.

Were they better than Maiden? If so, I'll be damn happy. I've already got a ticket, but I want to know where to set my sights...

I wasn't at Maiden, but a few of my friends said that they didn't touch Maiden's performance. Even after all the flag waving.

That's funny 'cause all of the hardcore maiden fans that I know (and we're talking about stretching back to seeing them years and years ago) thought that the maiden performance was so-so and not their mae-west. First time I saw them and thought they were fairly amazing.

But it's horses for courses. Maiden and Metallica put on two different stage-shows. Maiden put on the elaborate, theatrical show. And Metallica put on the raw agressive energy show. I must say that the outdoor venue *REALLY* suited Metallica last year - 3rd time I've seen them and I was well impressed with last year's show.

They didn't say it was the best show they've ever seen. They said Metallica's show didn't touch Maiden's show.

See my second paragraph .......

cournioni

Yeah, I know what you mean, they put on two totally different shows. I'm just saying what my friends said.

Placebo

Does anyone know if Lostprophets are supporting, ? i`m being told they are.
I pretty much hate Metallica, not a big fan of Slipknot either.
60 euros a big price to see lostprophets ! compared to the last times 13 euro!

Gonzo

afaik lostprophets are supporting, what i wanna know what are the other special guests

exiot

The second time Im away for their concert, Im in France..

A few of my friends went and they said it kicked ash, Im not really a fan of the new bassist, bring back Jason!

cournioni

I heard a rumour that Slipknot pulled out. Does anyone know if there is any truth in this?

Ronan|Raven

Hopefully so! I might go ahead and get a ticket now. MAYBE! and just MAYBE! In Flames will pop in to replace them











*wakes up* damn dreams.

Civilian_Target

Yeah. Or Therapy? or someone...

angelofdeath

Crimson

ahh dude HOW CAN U SAY THAT :P i mean come on its MetallicA the grand daddys of metal.... hehe

IronMan

I'd heard that Machine Head were supporting, from a fairly reliable source (works for ticketma$ter). But then he told me last year that SOAD were supporting Metallica, so maybe he aint so reliable.

LostProphets, Slipknot, Metallica, €65, bit steep me thinks.

hehe, knew i was gonna get a reply like that:p

Civilian_Target

MachineHead are playing Belfast in June, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if they support Metallica...

Only ever heard one of their tracks though.

stevemac

when are the tickets on sale?

where can we get them?

ticket master don't have them listed yet.

machine head are playing at the donington festival on the 6th june. No dates after that. Would they wait around after that to play in dublin with metallica?
Metallica playing at that festival as well are they?

Hah... You'd never know, In Flames supported Metallica last year in Spain didn't they?? Then again, that was Spain. This is Ireland.

Civilian_Target

Dunno what date but I've been told that Machinehead will be playing in the Mandella Hall in Belfast, it hasn't been officially announced, but when it is it'll be listed on www.qubsu-ents.com and tickets will be available from the Queens Students Union, Virgin, and www.wegottickets.com

*** update ***

Concert is almost certainly going to be June 2nd, tickets will probably be £15.

Placebo

fo sho !
60 euros alot.

Maybe lostprophets will do a stand alone,g onna wait for their tour to update, if not will go, man i`m gonna get creamed in that mosh pit !

terry phipps

all in fairness i seen metaliica last year and it was v.good but u c
metallica once u dont need to see them again der jst one of those bands

i also seen d maiden concert it was my 1st time seeing them and i have 2
say it to was v.good but it as thou bruce dickinsons voice is gone 2 ****.
he talks most of the songs rather than sing them, dnt get me wrong still a good concert

but d best gig ive ever seen was NAPALM DEATH in lst december in d village
and they pulled d place apart even thou 1 of der guitaists was missin

but who's offically suporting other than slipknot


oh and if i have lose pocket change when it comes 2d gig il c u der!:cool:

Civilian_Target

I dunno, I'd say Dickinson's voice is still in great shape, he sung his way though pretty much everything.

Are there still standing tickets left? I'd have expected that for Metallica all the standing room would be long gone...

projectmayhem

seems to be a lot of people here who are downing the concert. i think it'll be great. even if you don't like slipknot, you have to say it's a massive improvement on linkin park, plus the pit should be good.

and while i like lostprophets, their live show isn't their strongest point so they'll be a little lost next to slipknot and metallica. machine head would be awesome though..

cournioni

The reason why I don't think it will be a good concert because of the support is because Metallica will not be as good as they were last year. If they play the same songs again it won't have the same feel to it and if they play their new stuff it will be crap. That is my opinion, and that is why I think they need to get decent support this time around.

i missed then in the rds in the summer but i did see them in san fran. they were deadly! its their home ground. limp bizket were booed off the stage. metallica were class in the point a few years ago as well

OLDYELLAR

im going , oh my god last year was absolutely brilliant , almost got crushed in the pit but brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!

Beruthiel

I shall also be going

me thinks it would be a good idea to have a boards pissup afterwards

Cianan2

Im going!!! Can't wait,never been to a Metallica gig.

indeed!

i went last year but we showed up so late there wasn't a hope in hell of getting a pit pass. any tips for getting one this year (apart from showing up early) ? they enhance the show by a thousand. ozzfest was brilliant thanks to it!

OLDYELLAR

we turned up early last year an had a job to get em , it was a joke da way they handed em out people that came in last got em an people that were with us didnt , and then the bouncers tried to make guys that were with us actually pay for the pit passes , hopefully itl be a little better organised this year , because last year people that were there all mornin just to get one and then didnt were well annoyed .kinda put a dampner on things but still a great show

Ronan|Raven

OMG! Im just after reading on fakenews.com that Slayer, AC/DC and Pantera (playing a one off comeback gig) will be playing here along with Metallica in June. How cool is that.

the pit at ozzfest was full of 12 yr olds lol

Praetorian

Of course I'm going! Their setlist last year was excellent. For those who can't remember:

Battery
Master of Puppets
Harvester of Sorrow
Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Frantic
Sad But True
St. Anger
No Remorse
Seek and Destroy
Blackened

Fuel
Nothing Else Matters
Creeping Death

One
Enter Sandman

However, their performance wasn't as good as previous years, but I guess they are getting older and aren't practicing as much. Metallica have always been my favourite band, but I have to admit Maiden put on a better show. Also, they sound amazing live; I hardly noticed any mistakes!

I only like 2 of Slipknot's songs so, I'm disappointed they are playing to be honest.

Drazhar

well, i already bought the ticket, but im giving serious thought to selling it. I was up the front last year, and yeah it feckin rocked. But Linkin Park sounded like someone hooked up a cd player to the pa system, and i have no love for Slipknot.

No offense to any of you out there, but i hate the 15-17yr olds at them, they havent a feckin clue. Jumpin around the place, not a clue what they're at, never even heard of Master of Puppets, pisses me off

Plus, any of you with girlfriends, DONT SHIFT THEM IN THE PIT, for fúck sake, Tattoo the Planet and Metallica, i had a couple beside me goin at it, so whats a good little head banger to do, push them into the middle of the mosh!! HA HA HA serves you fukin right, its a metal concert not bloody rod stewart

stevemac

a friend got his ticket a few weeks ago and is saying lost prophets are on it as supporting.
Haven't seen th eticket so can't say if its true or not.
Anyone else got there tickets recently?

crimsonfire

im goin and i cant wait.....best concert ever!
metallica are goin to be blindingly good, slipknot should be nice and moshable and lost prophets......well......lets just say i'll find myself quite busy when they come on
