Mettalica - When to queue, etc ?

Placebo

hey
a few Questions, regarding the gig.

1)Can you buy tickets at the door ?
2)When do the doors(gates?) open ?
3)When to Queue to be able to get in to the mosh pit area?
4)Is the moshpit area decent or is it full of idiots that form a circular mosh and kill the fun ? Is it crap outside the mosh pit area ?

just as a side note, i`m not actually going to see mettalica , Lostprophets, wahey !

Thanks,

hostyle

Unfortunately they suck live

Placebo

yeah i know, ive seen em b4, but i forgot.
but thanks for reminding me, there goes my money.
NoooooOOOOOOOOOOO0OOOOO

the_obsolete

Yeah I heard some of Prophets earlier stuff and saw them at Ozzfest...felt the need to gag.
Queuing will begin VERY early- me and me g/f were there last year at 9 and there was already a massive queue...luckily still got into the mosh pit tho! And the mosh pit last year was massive, so I'd say it'll be the same this year.
And there's practically always people selling tickets outside the gig, but be prepared to pay a higher price! Give us a minute and I can tell ya the times...

the_obsolete

Right according to my ticket the gates open at 3 and the show starts at 6 with *sigh* the Lost Prophets

Bard

Mettalica - When to queue, etc ?

Early morning on August 20th, 2003.

Placebo

ok thanks the_obsolete, gates open at 3 ?
and show starts at 6, wtf happens in the 3 hours in b/w ?

and i ment to tickets get sold at the box office or something ? not black market...

krattapopov

nothing much happens in those 3 hours: you can drink if you are that way inclined

also when a roadie comes on stage groups of the crowd will all cheer for him woooo woooo then proceed to throw stuff

Bazz

Plus there's a curfew cos the gig is in a residential area so it'll be over at around 10.00.

Placebo

ok this is going to suck MAJOR, i dont even like mettalica.

feylya

Then why don't you give someone who likes Metallica a chance to get into the pit instead of complaining?

Bazz

*Impression of a Metallica fan*

"Duude, Metallica ar legends man. Hammet is god. I'm a bigger 'tallica fan than you dude. Yeah I am. I have this 'tallica t-shirt I got in 1987 and it's older than your 'tallica shirt man. Hammet is like totally a guitar god dude. I grew my hair just like his man. 'TALLICA. 'TALLICA. Guitar solo. Mosh pit man yeah. I AM TRUE METAL. DEATH TO FALSE METAL"

They're a competitive bunch aren't they..

feylya

You got more of a spider baby thing there tbh...

Placebo

oh shutup

feylya

Dathai

If your selling your ticket I know a fella and he's lookin for one.He scabbed off everyone to buy his first ticket...then it got robbed.I seen him on saturday and he had scabbed €15 from people that day for one and Im sure hed buy it off you now...but it all depends on the price..thats the thing

sterotyping is bad

also metallica are headlining it why would anyone who dosnt like them buy tickets?

Placebo

sorry, i dont have a ticket, i `m buying it off a friend, serious doubts of going but i might have to go since i said i would buy it off him last week.

Hey, nice come back

i`m not here to arguee, all i wanted to know what the scene was like, no need for your smart comments.

also metallica are headlining it why would anyone who dosnt like them buy tickets?

to see the support acts, which are put there for a reason, for people to come and see.

feylya

Exactly my point. There are a lot of Metallica fans going who would love to be in the pit. Boyo here wants a pit pass and then leave before Metallica even start, denying a fan of a place. That's what's pissing me off.

Placebo

Oh God thats the biggest load off bull****, i have EVER heard in my entire life., Tough **** if i get into the pit and you MR HARDCORE fan doesnt, i`m paying 60 to see a ****ing band, i have more of a right to be in a pit than anyone else in that gig,

"HHAHAHAH u stupid fan, watch me get into the pit and id like to see u cry outside the pit. cause Pit is only for mettalica fans and i am no fan, lololololol!!!!!!!!111one.
i`m cool, wicked cool."

idiot.

but the supporting acts are just filler, im not expecting much from them

Placebo

thats your OPINION, lostprophets + slipknot = filler.
Yes, your opinion.

feylya

But they are filler. They fill the day until the main act is on.

Placebo

doesnt mean u can disregard them and not enjoy them.
Some people go to see support acts !!!!!!!!!!!!!! beacuse they are an ACT !!

feylya

Yes it does. If you don't like a band, you make room for people who want to see them. Simple.

Placebo

Ok, you make a VERY strong argument, i bow down and resign down from my special place in the moshpit, enjoy that 1 extra place, may metallica always be with you, even in the darkest hour, you smart, smart man.


what age are you, btw ?

feylya

It wasn't supposed to be an argument. It was a statement.

And what the **** has my age got to do with anything?

Placebo

alot, you have a mentality of a 12 year old.

poo poo ?

feylya

That's nice. I'm glad you think that.

CrazyTalk

awww u kids lol
anyway, im going for free(i know ppl on the inside) and id rather go home after slipknot seeing as i have little intention of moshing to metallica, a band i am sick to death of, but my friends will most likely want to stay

ven0m

I will be heading to the show myself, & last years "fillers" as some of you like to call support acts, weren't bad - ok, well The Darkness kicked ass, but Linkin Park were WOEFUL. The crowd really harassed the sh*t outta them & gave them an uber hard time......

LostProphets live aer appauling..... not looking forward to that at all now this year, & to be honest I'm not a slipknot fan - their stuff is kinda crap, & while I'm at it - the newer Metallica stuff is really quite poo too - I just like seeing them perform the older stuff live.......

Wonder if the fact this will be the 6th time I'll have seen them live will be the nail in the coffin for my days of going to watch them live......

tuxy

so how much stuff off the new album do u think metallica will play? im guessing 2 better not be more than that

Ronan|Raven

Im bringing my walkman with a few old live shows just in case :-D

Placebo just give 'tallica a chance if nothing else if you do go. I've seen a lot of people converted in the past year or so of college, most of these people wouldn't like metal at all...sure one of them listened pretty much only rap and hiphop until me and me mats came along, and he ws converted to a Metallica fan.
Also I agree with you that support acts are still acts, a lot of people I met who went to the chilis went to see the hothouse flowers or the pixies, but not so much the chilis. Sure when U2 were doing their elevation tour I left the gig before they even came on! (I can't stand 'em)

Come on ya have to expect sommat from SlipKnot sure! Granted I'm not the biggest fan of 'em in the world, but you know well they're gonna put on a show.
Now the Lost Prophets on the other hand...

I'll probably end up meeting you in there Ruthie. I have an insanely idiotic plan of action for thursday/friday and how to acquire a pit-pass.

it involves extrordinarily high levels of alcohol ......

Even it involves high levels of alcohol, do not, I repeat, do not wear a dress - no matter how good you think you look in it

LOL
you should try to get your hands on some poitin, that's strong enough to do it!
bon chance

Cactus Col

should they not be playing whiskey in the jar at some stage too

littleninja

Ruthie & Lemming, can I join you in this meeting up malarky??? would be nice to see ya both again No idea what time I'll be there at but I'm sure it should be fairly early anyway

cournioni

Meh... I'm not going up until around 3.

Ronan|Raven

Same as that, was gona get the early train to dublin and have from 11am till the time the gig starts drinking but that proved to not be the wisest of ideas the last time ]

CBA going up earlier for the pit pass as well. Might encourage someone to hand theres over via the art of Jedi.

feylya

I'm planning on heading into town for about half eleven and drinking til whenever we get to the RDS at about 4 or 5.

Civilian_Target

So what time do the Lost Prophets finish then? I'm not too keen on seeing them, so I'll arrive after that. I don't care if I miss Slipknot.

My intention is then to get some lively flailing done to the sound of old metallica stuff. I very much hope that setlit that was posted is wrong, because it's missing Sanitarium, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Leper Messiah.

feylya

The setlist from last nights gig was missing Bells and Harvester.

Slipknot are on at 18.50, metallica at 20.10.

Ph3n0m

Setlist from download festival was:

Battery
The Four Horsemen
For Whom The Bell Tolls
Creeping Death
Seek And Destroy
Fade To Black
Wherever I May Roam
Last Caress
Sad But True
Nothing Else Matters
Enter Sandman

Placebo

is this sold out ?
is there a box office there ?

Ronan|Raven

Dont think it is sold out. There is NO afaik box office there! You must purchase ticket at a ticketmaster outlet.
