Yup. Best bet just have P-Dubs just go to the Fozzy gig and if anyone's there on the night have a few jars; so there isn't a big song and dance about it.

I really hope I manage to get a Rammstein ticket. It's going to bedlam on Friday morning.

Are you with 02? Text RAMMSTEIN to 51020 for a chance to buy priority tix. I got that text on my phone yesterday so hopefully ur not too late. Just if that's useful.

The Volt · 06-07-2011 11:37AM

I'm not

They sent me a free sim a while back but I can't for the life of me find it. Looks like I'm going into the lottery with everyone else

jaykhunter · 06-07-2011 11:42AM

If you're free Friday morning I'd recommend queueing up at a Ticketmaster outlet (there's one in Jervis centre) for 9am. I find the online thing a bit crappy, i dunno how these boffins do it.

The musical taste on this board is absolute garbage I must say.

Hair and noise is what ye are into it seems.

Hair? Not exclusively. Noise? F*ck yes. I love my music to be as in your face as possible whilst retaining a key element of melody.

I may go to the square in Tallaght for Friday. Will each outlet have a certain number of tickets though?

MCD do pre sale tickets also try their facebook page for info

Doesn't appear to be anything there

I think I'll get down to The Square as early as I can on Friday morning and try my luck there.

Very interested in hearing your top 5 so. And if I hear "Foo Fighters and U2" I expect your mod badge handed in and your desk cleared by 5pm

D2D · 06-07-2011 12:20PM

I've possibly the most varied music taste. From Heavy Rock to Pop Punk to Punk itself... it's just so varied

Cool, I'm officially the Straight Edge Savior of PW now!! (Well, it's underneath my username)

gimmick · 06-07-2011 12:23PM

I listen to deep house and soul generally speaking. Producers generally MAW, Herbert, Jimpster, Fishgodeep.

jaykhunter · 06-07-2011 12:30PM

can u post youtube links to some of your favourite songs?

The Volt · 06-07-2011 12:41PM

Music is about as subjective a thing that you can get. I'm sure gimmick was just being tongue in cheek with his opinions!

gimmick · 06-07-2011 12:56PM

Ya, I was being a tad tongue in cheek.

However, here a few links to a few tracks which are floating my boat at the mo

Thats a glimpse.

I like easy relaxed music.

jaykhunter · 06-07-2011 01:40PM

I think my brain is hard-wired differently for music. Like I hear a beat but don't understand the allure of long, drawn-out repetition. I hear lyrics but they're not prominent, they seem like words place in there because they sound nice, not to really be listened to, if that makes sense.

But yeah, music is intensely subjective. So ya don't feel singled out here's some of my favourite tracks.:)

Acoustic
José González - Down the line

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dppUO-bZXes

Tommy Emmanuel - Drivetime (Cover)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kTlvFay5nw

Alternative
Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U631FGnXDXY

Flight Of The Conchords - Robots

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNC61-OOPdA

Rock/Metal
Avenged Sevenfold - Bat Country

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHS3qJdxefY

Dream Theater - Panic Attack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDs6mCVAKs

OK just two more - i'm into videogame soundtracks; here's two awesome songs (but probably lost on u if u haven't played the games...)

Here's two CastleVania songs covered by a metal band, CarboHydroM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EDhE8axZh8

Hyrule Symphony - Ocarina Medley (Legend of Zelda)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi3gL7-rZpw

MitchKoobski · 06-07-2011 01:45PM

80's music, Classic Rock, and stuff I hear in Games and Movies.

Outside of that, separate songs that I like from different genres.

A gig is a terrible time IMO. What you want is to have it either around some irish promotions show, or a WWE/TNA house, or a PPV. That way you keep the group together. At a gig, the group gets split and thats that.

Summerslam is only five and a half weeks away

GTR63 · 06-07-2011 02:03PM

Anyone going to Oxygen it feels like they have nearly the exact same line up the last few years.I never go to these festivals i'll stick with my iPod with the likes of Led Zep,Foals & The Killers.
Liverpool sign Charlie Adam if we sell Meireles now i'll be ****ing pissed.

waltersobchak · 06-07-2011 02:10PM

I loves me some Progressive Rock.. Dream Theater, Rush, Floyd, Tool..
Which strangely the fans of these bands, and music in general are similarly obsessive as Online Wrestling fans:pac:

jaykhunter · 06-07-2011 02:10PM

I hear it's gotten a bit rough over the last while? Like many more stories of scummas stealing wallets and a few worse stories...
