http://pod.ie/list_tripod.php?view_details=1&event_id=735&venue=2

ah **** i am so pissed now, i cant take another Motley Crue fiasco!!! since i cant afford to go to the states to see aerosmith and the crue W.A.S.P are the nearest thing. all the same its a small enough venue(well redbox was) it should be unreal

Mr Rivers

Well, size wise:

Tripod

Dublin's newest live music venue opens it's doors this September. Three venue spaces in one. 1350 capacity live venue, 300 capacity bar & 300 capacity club. State of the art Funktion One sound system and balcony seating with private
booths.

kona

ahh right!!! i am goin on what i remember from the old redbox, so will there be a naked lady being covered in meat on stage!!!!

Motley Crue

smelltheglove

WASP is worth your money, hands down, over any gig!

Are u serious, ****, thats mad! WASP opening the Tripod!

SirLemonhead

I decided to go, so got my ticket

smelltheglove

Ill be there and irish band glyder are supporting too so i get 2 great bands for the price of one below is one of the setlists from this tour so far kinda short but seems like a good show

Manchester Academy 2, UK - 28th October 2006

- Intro: The End
1. On Your Knees
2. Hate To Love Me
3. L.O.V.E. Machine
4. Wild Child
5. Widow Maker
6. Sleeping In The Fire
7. Arena Of Pleasure
8. The Headless Children
9. The Idol
10. I Wanna Be Somebody

Encore:

11. Chainsaw Charlie
12. Blind In Texas

SirLemonhead

Can't say I'm too keen on that setlist..

I always hated Hate to love me, and I never really did like Blind in texas. Chainsaw charlie is a bit blah too. Widow maker seems like an odd choice but it'll be cool to hear.

I know thats only a few songs, but with the setlist being as short as it is..

MagnumForce

Jesus, thats a short set, well theyre apperantly changing the setlist all the time so hopefully it will get a bit more interesting, theres nothing from after The Crimson Idol except Hate To Love Me and they could have picked a better song from Unholy Terror. I hear theyve been playing Mercy from the new album at some gigs so it would be good to hear that, and maybe something from KFD.

Anyway, the point I was going to make is that up until recently on the site it stated Jaded (all girl, all rocking, all leather) were supporting, then Glyder announced they were supporting aswell, and now the WASP site says Jaded and a power metal band called Triosphere are supporting, not mentionng Glyder at all, so whats the deal? are there three bands supporting??? cos even though the bands supporting are pretty good, thats a bit much.

Mind you, if there are four bands playing, at least its finally a gig worth the money.

Motley Crue

smelltheglove wrote:

3. L.O.V.E. Machine

While I like the sound of hearing this song, I also agree its an extremely small setlist, and the fact that the new track from their forthcoming album Domination isnt going to be played (they played it in Bulgaria) is a bit of a let down

Tazz T

Reports form earlier shows say Blackie and the crew are on top form and sounding better than ever.

I've seen 'em loads of time since the 80s and will be in attendance. Always guaranteed a great show when Blackie's involved.

Well, it seems Glyder have no idea about this anyway, as far as they know it's just them and Jaded supporting. Have emailed Raglane.com asking them, cos i like to know what going on like.

I've just been talking to someone about this and apparently the Tripod isn't ready and they're rushing around trying to find another venue.

If this is the case, they've left it a bit late.

****in hell, how hard can it be like, and why would the owners of the Tripod go ahead and accept bookings inside a window of time when they obviously wouldnt know if they'd be ready or not! especially a live band like WASP with loads of equipment, its not like a DJ or something who just has decks really. theyve postponed the gig on tomorrow night as it says on the Tripod site, you'd think that at the same time they'd announce the postponement of they following nights gig aswell because if its not ready for a DJ to play on Friday, how can it be ready for three or so bands to play the next night? If this is cancelled, i will be very annoyed.

MagnumForce

Emailed the Tripod, asking them, got this response:

Hi Adam, it is still uncertain…I have forwarded your email to the promoter who will be in touch with you shortly to advise.

Kind Regards,

Clare

Unfortunatly Ive already emailed Raglane.com and got no response yet. you'd think that the venue would be the one with the answers as to whether or not they were playing there. Obviously then, they arn't playing there and are waiting to know where if anywhere they actually are playing.

MagnumForce

Well, Ticketmaster.ie arnt selling tickets any more, rumor has it it was moved to the Crawdaddy, dispite the fact Crawdaddy only holds about 250 people. But apperantly The promotors, Raglane.com, still arnt sure, apperantly the band arn't happy with the arrangments, neither would fúckin I be!!!

Christs sake! what a fúck up!

You think they'd address this problem, seriously

Got this official response this morning

Raglane.com wrote:

Hi Wayne, the Tripod wont be ready to open so we are trying to source an
alternative venue which is proving difficult. I have suggested they play
Crawdaddy but they are reluctant to do this so the show may be cancelled. I
expect a decision this morning.

kona

the gig is tomorrow for **** sake, is it on or not?? apparantly the ucd freshers ball was held there this year so it must be open, i think its coz **** all are goin tbh.

Posted on the official site lastnight, along with the official conformation of the venue change.

The good thing about London gigs is that the turnout and the atmosphere are always great. Tonight appeared to be a sold out gig! Sound setup was great and we had a great view from the seats on the balcony!

This is only a short review for those who couldnt make it or those just being curious, so dont expect much. Also there are no more pictures from me. I really cant be dealing with **** anymore and nor can I take bad mouthing from ****ing online assholes for no ****ing reason at all, no names needed you know who you are.......

Setlist tonight was as the rest of the gigs:

- Intro: The End
1. On Your Knees
2. Hate To Love Me
3. L.O.V.E. Machine
4. Wild Child
5. Widow Maker
6. Sleeping In The Fire
7. Arena Of Pleasure
8. The Headless Children
9. The Idol
10. I Wanna Be Somebody

12. Blind In Texas

Comments on Last Nights Performance
Ok, first the bad points, then the good points. Last nights performance was only 50mins, they didnt play Chainsaw Charlie, and they made no comment about the cancellation of the first date. I normally wouldnt condemn Blackie for doing a 'walk off' during a song but both he and bassist Mike Duda did this twice and although the combination of Mike/Doug worked well, it just didnt seem to be fair that we got this 'extended extended' guitar solo when the concert was so short essentially.

Blackie hardly talked to the crowd, he didnt really say anything personal, and when he said he was gonna play some 'stuff they havent played live in over 20 years and some stuff theyve never done live, ever' I taught he was about to reward us for turning up on the rescheduled night with a very special tune. But alas, no, they played the songs theyd just played on the 17th in London and what I suspect they played for the last two nights in Belfast. They could have also easily added Sleeping in the Fire, either electric or acoustic, but they didnt and left the stage 20mins before the curfew.

There was also, with a new album coming out, no mention of new material or the new album or the new songs.

Good Points
Mike Dupke was a fantastic drummer, up there with Megadeth's Shawn Drover easily. For what he played, and how he played, Guitarist Doug Blair was fantastic too. The T-Shirts at 25Euro were extremely cheap, and I'm not just trying to find good things about the gig, I'm saying this because on the scale of things most gigs I go to usually charge between 30 and 50 for a T-Shirt so it was nice to get a fair price. I also think the fact that Blackie signed all the CDs that were being sold, at a very reasonable 14Euro, was also excellent. Blackie's voice was on top form, he knew what he was doing at every minute of the set, and he made sure the crowd felt everything. I also taught it was nice how Blackie stopped at the end of the gig to sign the vinyl someone on the Ground Floor handed him. Most artists wouldnt do that I reckon.

Overall I had a good time and enjoyed myself and think it was an excellent show.

SirLemonhead

They did play Sleeping in the fire

blastman

25 Euro is not extremely cheap for a t-shirt either.

Are you sure, umm, maybe I missed that one. I did think the set was incredibly short, and I wanted to kill the soundman cause he put on a Theory of a Deadman record just before WASP came on...I dunno where he got it, it gives me shivers to think about it!lol

I disagree, Id say thats pretty good considering the average prices have risen steeply. Its cheap enough, considering the quality of the T-Shirts, and what youd pay at other gigs

Totally agree with everything you said. I was talkin to a guy after the show that got the actual setlist the band were using and cahinsaw charlie was on it. I've no idea why they didn't play it, :mad: . nevermind though it was an excellent show. plus i got Doug Blair's guitar pick

kona

ha ha that was my brother who got his scratch plate signed by blackie!!!im looking at it right now!! took ages to get his attention and i honestly didnt think he would..but he did!!! he got mike dudas signature on it too!!and a pick, and me beside him got nuthin!!!
blackie is a true rock legend as far as i am concerned all the **** people say bout him is crap!! total legend for signing it, and as for the cheap t-shirts, the roadie fcuked up all his prices!!they were ment to be in sterling on the laptop and he took euro for it!!! ha ha, i got a hoodie for e45 very compeditive considering there was no competion!!! in asha they are e45 too!!
what a gig though!! twas hillarious in the solo when the mike fell on doug blair!!!i thought he rocked the **** outa the place with LOVE Machine and I wanna Be sombody.
i thought the start was funny glyder in my opinion were very boring on stage then wasp came on and hit the place like a train!!
