And Limerick the day before !!

Coolio.

I saw them last year for the first time but it was part of the Death Crusher tour so they only performed a shortish set.

They are ferocious live, Barney looks like he will rupture himself at any given moment with his on stage movements.

Can't wait to see their full set.

Seemingly this one was moved due to demand.

The Deathcrusher tour was there last year.

Amon Amarth there this year.

Not a huge number by any stretch but pretty impressive considering the gigs are at the extreme end of the metal spectrum.

Another bull**** way to get more money.

A bit like their whole charge for some ****ing e-tickets. They don't even have to send you anything in the mail.

The legendary Mayhem hit The Academy on Friday 31st March to perform De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in full.

Noice.

funnnnerrraaaalllll FOG! I've been waiting for years to see Mayhem on Irish soil, although they are sometimes poor live I wont be missing this.

Anyone remember Dan Reed Network from the 90s. Well they have reformed and released a new album recently.

However, Dan Reed is doing a solo gig in Whelans this Sunday coming, November 6th ,his first gig here in 5 years.

I saw him last time he appeared and he was just great.

He said that if theres a good enough crowd in Whelans he will make it an annual event .

So if anyones interested Whelans is the place to be this sunday.

Spread the word.

Anyone know why Girlschool were a no-show at the Saxon gig in the Academy last night? Saxon and Fastway were both great, and seeing Eddie playing Ace Of Spades with Saxon was defintiely a moment. Disappointing that Girlschool pulled out though, would have liked to have seen them.

Ya Girlschool issue I dunno strangely silent over what went on there they were printed on the promotional material and better still the actual gig ticket overheard a few who were still anticipating them after Fastways set had ended.
Fastway were a fairly good opener without being overly impressive IMO. Saxon were top notch such a reliable live outfit and always seeming to drop a song here or there in their sets thats unexpected, getting Eddie on was great certainly.

At 28euro despite GS pulling a bargain still really the T-shirts being sold at the show were more expensive than the gig itself!

They don't appear to be slowing down either Saxon and on this showing look forward to catching them again at some point in the future.

Thanks for the info. Really surprised that John McManus was playing, I thought he was out of the music business, well the playing side at least.

Really enjoyed them last night , she's a fantastic singer, and very easy on the eye!:D (check out Radio Moscow, Ray;)) Kadavar were really good too......bit too loud for that venue though, my ears are still bleeding:pac:

It was a cracking gig ... I actually think Kadavar just shaded it as my preferred performance of the night but both bands were fcukin great. I'll check out Radio Moscow :cool:

Really good gig lads can't wait to see them again already, Kadavar were great not my bag but great was in for the start of them so I missed Stray Train. Think the new album from Blues Pills is up there in my favorites this year and songs were given more edge in the live environment...Won't go back, You gotta Try ah here twas all brill.

It looks like a return to the Voodoo I think after seeing that Grand Magus poster.
