flynn claims the '93 SFX show supporting slayer is their favourite. as it was their first abroad i guess - i remember them having to get off their bus pulled up beside the queue and being mobbed for their scribble; i done a stagedive during spirit in black at the chorus.. only one of the nite i was not touching araya's mike u get kicked offstage by him if you act the mick but machine head were screamo sorta fag metal like pantera something about letting freedom reign w/ a shotgun blast..
Razor's 'Shotgun Justice' is better

Ahem....

Max Power1

what the hell is that guy talking about. Pantera? Machine Head? Screamo fag metal? How DARE you use those words in the same sentence with a negative!!

Machine head rock. Period.

But I dont like their nu-metal albums like "supercharger", just their first album and the last one the blackening.


Will have to go to that gig anyway. Horns \m/

Useful.Idiot

the blackening was f*cking awesome. Should be hitting this up.

I was at the '93 gig, excellent. I remember Rob talking with a few of us outside and he asked some guy not to touch his beard, which the guy then proceeded to touch.
Excellent show as I remember.

Necronomicon

Just noticed the thread, have my tickets. Can't wait

Missed them last time, saw them on Halloween night 2003. Can't believe it was over 6 years ago :eek:

Can't wait for a new album. Hope they have a song or two ready to debut on the tour.

No, they are still available on ticketmaster. Mine arrived today

QOTSA90

grand, it doesnt say on ticketmaster, will it be 18s?

LD 50

I'd say so. minors to be accompanied by an adult, the usual story.

Still pondering on this one, Money is seriously tight. Argh.

I know the feeling - but I just said feck it.......going to get to as many gigs as possible next year, already have tickets to 5 gigs and still wanna hit Marduk and Suffocation..............don't know where the cash will come from in the end

anything else gets announced this side of Chrimbo that I'd be really interested and I'll have to skip it.......so hopefully Rammstein doesn't happen now....

take back what you said, rammstein should happen, over most gigs especially machine head. I mean machine head have had 2 and a half cracking albums(burn my eyes, through ashes of empires and half of the blackening) but rammstein only released there first dodgey album this year. And for a dodgey album its still ****ing good!

no I won't take it back :P

look I'm sure you know from my tone that if the Rammstein gig happens I'll sell the other kidney and sort myself out with a ticket..........it's just gettin very expensive and the year doesn't even start for a month.......

really lookin forward to seeing Machine Head in a headlining slot again though.....should be cool......and to have a good support list is such a pleasant surprise....

Can't wait for this one. Should be good!

Hatebreed, Bleeding Through and All Shall Perish.

http://www.machinehead1.com/news.html

Haven't heard anything from the latter two, must look them up.

fin-slipknot

This will be my 1st ever concert.
Im 18 and dont have I.D...will i even need 1 (got tix anyway)?
Bleeding through, All shall perish and Hatebreed are all supporting, will the supporting play 1st or will it be mixed?
it starts at 7.30... any clue or any general knowledge at what time it will be over at?
Roughly, how long would machine head be playing?
And finally, what would the usual setlist be for Machine Head?
Thanks.

I believe minors have to be accompanied by adults so yeah, it's probably a good idea to have one. Do you not have a passport?

Bleeding through, All shall perish and Hatebreed are all supporting, will the supporting play 1st or will it be mixed?

Yes, they'll be playing first. Not sure about the order but I'd imagine Hatebreed will be the last support to play before Machine Head.

it starts at 7.30... any clue or any general knowledge at what time it will be over at?

I'm not sure, is it the doors at 7.30 or the gig starting at 7.30? I'd imagine the gig would be over at 11.00-11.30, thereabouts.

Roughly, how long would machine head be playing?

Around an hour and a half would be about the norm I think.

And finally, what would the usual setlist be for Machine Head?
Thanks.

They haven't started this tour yet so you can't really say, but once they start it (in January I think) you should check their message board to see what songs they've been playing, that'll give you a pretty accurate indication.

fin-slipknot

Thanks for the help man. and yea, have passport, didn't even think about that:rolleyes:

Whiplash

this gig will be EPIC!!

fin-slipknot

Curious... is it hard to get infront of people to get as close as possible to the band/action during the performance? I have a headache thinking that the night would be a buzzkill getting pushed back etc. And their would be not much room to proper headbang without been at the very front. And yes i booked ground floor tix

It all depends how determined you are. If you're really desperate to get to the front your best bet is to turn up early. If you can't get in early it's still possible to get to the front,or first 2/3 rows. Just make your way through the crowd,be nice about it,no elbows out or pushing people around and you can usually make good progress.

There's plenty of room on the floor to headbang,you make your own space.:cool:

Lads, that first ever gig with Slayer was in 1994 and TBH I was disappointed with Machine Head that night as their sound was shocking!

But every other time they've been back here they've been superb, can't wait for this gig.

If you show up early enough you'll get a pit pass so you'll be right at the front section. It's great as there's pletny of space there and if you don't have to worry about losing your place if you need to go get drinks or go to the toilet.

I wouldn't have imagined there'd be pit passes at the Olympia. I've only been there for a seated gig (comedy) but it didn't look any bigger than The Ambassador, which had no passes.

The sound for support bands is nearly always *****.

I was there for NOFX earlier this year and it had a pit.

They're not. There are still standing tickets available. Just bought mine this evening in Sound Cellar in Dublin. Maybe just the ticketmaster site is sold out.
