Really looking forward to this. Always wanted to see Rob Zombie live. I'd say tickets will sell like hot cakes.

scudzilla

Cannot fcukin wait for this, seen him first wit White Zombie back in '95 and seen him a few times since, but not for a good number of years.

My only gripe with this gig is fcukin ticketbastaard again, i'm ok as have a good job and spare cash, but what about the average fan who's short of funds, or a student.

They could so easily have announced this gig and said tickets would be on sale the 2nd week in January, not 2 days before fcukin Christmas

Passenger

Dublin, Olympia - €39.20 + Booking Fee. :eek:

I agree completely. Unemployed at the moment myself, and funds are tight, to say the least. I had to make quite a few phonecalls to try and rumage together some cash for this one.

Zombienosh

This is gonna be awesome, hes been on my to see list for some time.

scudzilla

I'm feeling a bit of a meet up wit boardsies on the afternoon of this gig, get leathered then head off to the gig

stateofflux

can't believe its in the olympia....what a bag of ****e venue with nazi bouncers and bad sound....:(

and 39 quid is taking the piss

scudzilla

I'm ready for this, hard to predict if it'll sell out straight away or not, what wit Christmas bein 3 days away

scudzilla

Just got 2 standing :D

metzengerstein

got mine also ,im glad im going to see him in england before hand incase the olympia turns out poxy as usual.

the show looks amazing.been on my list of people to see for a few years .

senordingdong

Excellent, been dying to see this **** for years.

chin_grin

40 bills is a wee bit steep all right. I paid 30 and saw Waking the Cadaver (meh)/Macabre(wow)/Immolation(PANTS WETTENING!) and Napalm Death! (Ok I lie I left before ND).

But still 30 for all those bands!

Is it just him or is there any word on support? Would be WELL p*ssed off if I paid 40 for just him.

scudzilla

I don't understand all the hatred for The Olympia, i fcukin love the venue.

Not only that, in the UK he's playing Venues with a 5,000+ capacity, here it's 1,000. Makes it a bit more special to me. Also he's co-headlining Download, and to have a download co headliner playing our little Olympia is fcukin awesome.

As for the bitchin about 40Euro to stand, you just can't please some people. If he hadn't bothered comin over then people would have moaned, now he is yer all just moaning about the price.

If your a big fan and wanted to see him, how much to fly over to UK, hotels etc??

But is it not taking advantage of the fans knowing that of course they'll be good zombies (heh) and pay that? I'm sure it's nothing to do with the band and it's the venue/promoter/etc. But it is steep. I mean I saw Amputated with Warpath and another support for a tenner. A freakin' tenner!

Prostitute Disfigurement was a tenner too (and that was three bands on the bill as well).

Well they haven't made their "middle aged" album if that's what you mean. OOOOooooooooooooh!

Well said, I believe its a reasonable price (he's around & establised a long time) & delighted its on in The Olympia - i.e. small, intimate venue. Flight to Glasgow - 80 euro, ticket over 40, hotel 40 sterling, days holidays booked. Would have traded that in an instant to see him in Olympia instead. Cant see what the fuss is about.

Forty quid for the Olympia...****in hell.....that's a rip off.

Don't think I'll bother now.

Think that'll be your loss

For his Feb UK tour tickets are £33.50 which comes out at 39.50Euro, normally we pay a bit more here but this is right on the button.

For someone like Zombie, who has hardly toured in recent years, i think 40 is a very fair price, and i'd rather pay 40 for the Olympia than 40 for the O2

My ONLY gripe about the gig is that tickets went on sale 3 days before Christmas with hardly any notice

Fair point that!

****ing rip off. Is this an MCD gig?

Question... for the peeps that believe this is a rip off.

What do you believe the price for a ticket should be?

clearly no tom waits fans.
I got some tickets. Cheers I like Rob Zombie.

I was thinking of the people complaining about the price. Tickets for Tom Waits' last gig here were priced at €165.

Apparently it was a **** gig.

Like i said in an earlier post, tickets to his UK gigs are £33, which works out at 39.50Euro, how exactly are we being ripped off??

Nailz

€40 for a gig in Ireland, and for the quality of Rob Zombie??? Are you all mental? You should be counting your lucky stars it's so cheap! Considering Ireland has notoriously expensive ticket prices, and it's in one of the more popular big act venues in Ireland.

It wouldn't surprise me if the people complaining are from Dublin, no offence to you, I'm sure some of you are lovely folks, but I rarely meet a Dub that doesn't make a habit out of complaining.

I was itching to comment on this since Monday, but I planned on getting tickets for my brother as a Christmas present, and thankfully he's delighted with them.

Why would it have nothing to do with the band? I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with the band.

ChocolateSauce

Nice, I've never seen him before but I like him very much. In fact, he's one of the only artists I'd go see for the time being.

support is from skindred and revolker .so nothing great.


but i think 40 is a fair price for this show.ive paid more for shows that where sh*t or had nothing special ,my last waste of money was iron maiden pox fest at the 02 last time.new album is brutal also .

anymore than a tenner to see any of the bands above would be a rip off

weeee got a ticket for this for xmas

only one ticket though.......now who's going to escort me

Tried to get tickets for his Newcastle gig on the same tour but they were sold out about an hour after going on sale

Now I'm glad I didn't get tickets, I HATE Skindred

senordingdong

It's expensive when you consider the venue.
It's tiny.

So I assume that they have to keep the price high to meet the artists demands.

Like when Alice Cooper played the Olympia in 2004.

Was thinking anybody that's going we could organise a meet up in the afternoon of the gig for a few scoops, closer to the time of course

chin_grin

Issues I have with this gig is that Zombie is well past his prime. He had two good albums and that was it. (Astro Creep [yeah I know as White Zombie] and Hellbilly Deluxe).

Don't even get me started on the new Hellbilly. It's absolute sh!t. The only way I can describe it is that he went from goth shock industrial rock to steampunk\burlesque\shock sh!te.

Also, regarding pricing I paid 33 for Machine Head AND Hatebreed in the olympia. With Man Must Die and Bleeding Through supporting (didn't really care for BT).

shocking stuff ,rob is defo not past his prime ,still making amazing music after all this time and still putting on awesome shows .and throwing some cool movies out aswell .on a roll if you ask me .
and coming up with the goods all the time.


machine head + hatebreed and the other two not even worth 33 quid .would only pay a fiver to see them all ****e bands with nothing good to offer except maybe two good songs from machine heads 1st album. at least with zombie you get awesome music and a good show

I don't care what people say about the new album, sure it doesn't compare but it's a rarity that he's here and he's someone that I've always wanted to see.

wish it was on somewhere better than the olympia though

The "other two" were Bleeding Through and Man Must Die - if you're going to abuse a gig do your homework and find out who was performing first.

Excuse, what exactly do you listen too, Machine Head are still on top of their game - did an album called 'The Blackening' and another called 'Through The Ashes of Empires' just slip by on you?

Machine Head may have lost their way with 'Supercharger' but the relevance of their music, their sound and the relevance of their presence in this genre was shown by their last two studio albums - in the absence of Pantera we need more bands like Machine Head!

And I personally despise Hatebreed but they gathered a good crowd the last performance I saw so you can't argue with results.

With the greatest of respect, Machine Head aren't a Nu Metal band, and if they were - which they might have been for a small part of their history - their sound has dramatically changed to a point that they have now gone full circle to their original sound, that of a Thrash Metal band

Seriously, just listen to this...

go listen to these then compare .

gothic slam ,megadeth ,slayer,panic attack .kreator ,tankard,dri etc

go listen theres a big diffrence then to what i just heard.
