The Prodigy aren't Rock or Metal so they shouldn't count in a thread devoted to Rock & Metal gigs.

grames_bond

I have got to + 1 to Kiss in the o2.....probably the best gig i have ever seen! Just spectacular!

blastman

Another vote for Kiss at the Point, fantastic gig.

I know the crowd was small, but I thought someone would have voted for Lynyrd Skynyrd at the same venue in March, which almost topped their legendary 2003 appearance alongside Deep Purple.

I'd have to give Maiden a mention too.

Must check what other gigs I went to that were this year, plus as someone said, there's some potentially great gigs to come before the end of '10.

stateofflux

stone temple pilots @ olympia
fear factory @ academy
soulfly @ academy
sepultura @ academy

blagards

Iron Maiden at the o2

Twilightning

God damn Iron Maiden!

honru

Kiss in Dublin was by far the best gig I've been to this year, so far.

chin_grin

Fear Factory in the Academy. Whopper show.

Desecration was awesome in Fibbers too.

RayCon

Kiss - O2 May
Iron Maiden - O2 July
Porcupine Tree - Tripod Oct (ok , so it hasn't happened yet but Im willing to bet it will be epic)


Potentially epic gigs on the horizon:

Y&T - Sept
Reckless Love & JettBlack - Crawdaddy Oct
Dobbie Brothers - Nov (I wont be in Ireland for it though :-( )
W.A.S.P. - Nov
The Sword - Dec

JBnaglfar

So far, Iron Maiden at the O2.

I should have a couple more nominations by the end of the year.

True, i stand corrected, Prodigy can go into Dance/Techno whatever, if they wanna do a poll

dcr22B

In order (very, very tight mind you):

Machine Head @ OLympia
Iron Maiden @ O2
RATM @ O2
Metallica @ Odyssey

derdider

Airbourne (at the Academy i think) was the best show of the year.

scudzilla

Just a reminder

Please only pick amazing gigs, not every gig you've been too, not even just a simple 'good' gig

And make sure the gig has happened, not that you expect ....... to be great


Thanks

chin_grin

Guns'n'Roses!



(I didn't really go. Just couldn't resist!)

Twin-go

Pearl Jam @the O2

Next time they're in Dublin they should be allowed break the 11pm curfew. a precedent has now been set:D

Professey Chin

Limp Bizkit @ the Olympia for just balls to the wall mayhem,energy and everything else
Kiss @ the O2 for the amazing show

Grid.

Herb Powell

Only gig I've been to this year was Megadeth in Cork. Really wish I'd gotten the chance to go to some others
