Might go to this. Sort of gig where i'd hang back with a few beers and just enjoy the show.

Alice Cooper? Yes!

Thin Lizzy? Yes!

Def Leppard...:(

Why is there always one band I can't stand?!

scudzilla

Seems the whole tour is kicking off in Belfast, then Dublin & Download

Keep your eyes peeled out for a few warm up dates, no band ever starts a full World Tour without the odd warm up, and as the bands gear will all be in Ireland i can see it being a couple of nights in Dublin (Olympia maybe)

he was playing 23 songs on his last tour according to recent setlists: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/alice-cooper/2010/campo-pequeno-lisbon-portugal-2bd2a8ae.html

blastman

He put on a great show in Vicar Street the last time he was here, too. Far from washed up...

slavetothegrind

ill be there, great value for once!

see yis at the bar....

Much prefer if it had been Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie together. No interest in seeing a Thin Lizzy tribute band and never really been a fan of Def Leppard, one of those bands I'd listen to but never go out of my way to do so.

Wolfe Tone

IS Alice Cooper any good these days?

won't harm his bank account. there's a vid of him on the late late show early '90s appeared such an industry gimp condemning KLF for their statement of burning their album proceeds, i just think he's a sock

slavetothegrind

i would have thought they'd have horded their ill gotten gains for future heroin dependancy where is the evidence either Jimmy Cauty or Bill Drummond used heroin?!

hope you're being honest i just spent the last half hour trawling the net..

slavetothegrind

oops!

throwaway comment, no idea what was going on with them, but hardly the act of a rational person now is it?

RayCon

apparently it was an artist statement.

I had major doubts when it was announced he was the new singer, i've always like Ricky Warwick, especially The Almighty, but didn't think he'd fit too well into Lizzy.

Been proved wrong though as all reports coming from the recent tour say he's been outstanding

yea love the almighty,i heard he was ment to be pretty amazing too,but we'll have to wait and see.i just cant picture his voice in it.

KevLeppard

Got my tickets the morning they came out !!

My sixth Def Leppard gig, should be a belter.

Saw Thin Lizzy a few weeks ago in The Olympia, AWESEOME. Rocky does an amazing job, fits in great.

Role on June!!!:D:D

Alice Cooper has been putting on some cracking gigs over the last five years.

His current band are really good and at times add a great crunchy dimension, similar to the sound on his Brutal Planet album, to the sound of his 70's stuff, especially songs from Billion Dollar Babies and Killer


I have been to at least a dozen Alice Cooper gigs since the 80's (just a shame I was not around/too young for his amazing early to mid 70's shows) and his current set up comes close to anything he has done live.

reminds me, Rocky George looked more like Apollo Creed

with regards to Def Leppard headlining Download 2011 on the friday, common sense has prevailed it'll be Russ Abbot Experience instead.

Oral Slang

ooh, completely forgot that Ricky Warwick is the singer for Lizzy now. Great stuff. Found Leppard quite boring the last time I saw them, but looking forward to Lizzy now & Alice Cooper. Won my tickets on Nova last week!

Joe's a nice guy, it's a shame you seem to hate him so much

yes; nice. more than nice. nicey nice. agreeable. i've a feeling joey would bend over backwards sometimes, to suit his particular surroundings at a given time. the carry-on at the Hyde Park event last year where he wouldn't leave the stage was surprising; never expected such rock n roll antics but its what the majority in attendance wanted

I bet that was a lame dust up.. Elliott is about as dangerous as TCP

i think i see why Danzig is propping up the friday's Download '11 bill that Def Leppard tops its likely a wall of slick visuals n top notch sound engineering from their Hysteria heyday which would obviously suit the headline slot.

Not that I'd have a hope in hell of getting to it anyway, but that Download line up is all a bit lightweight, isn't it?
I just discovered from the advertising poster that there's a band called "The Devil Wears Prada"? Who thought that was a good idea? Like calling your new deathgrind band "Love, Actually"?!?!

Star Bingo

yeah it is. i dunno what the options are in this day n age; there's not even one old school thrash band listed thus far BFMV is the closest thing it seems.

thin lizzy without philo and gary moore are only a poor cover band

Only 2 weeks away :D:D:D.

As great as Gary Moore is/was, he wasn't anywhere near a major part of Thin Lizzy (what, one album isn't it? snowy white was there longer than that..), so I always have to stop and think when people say "half the band is dead"

PTH2009

Anyone know what times the show starts.

Will the show be over by 11.00pm.

Id imagine the show will be like this

7.00-7.40- Thin Lizzy
8.00-9.00- Alice Cooper
9.15-10.50- Def Leppard

KevLeppard

Whats the story with the Alice Cooper VIP package passes for sale? Would they be for just meet and greet Alice Cooper r could u stick around to meet Thin Lizzy and the mighty Leps??

I'd say his people will have a seperate area where a M&G would be held. Would probably just be a fluke if you bumped into any other acts. $475 for a M&G though,OUCH!!:eek:

KevLeppard

Ah ok, if its just for Alice Cooper only think I will give it a skip.

Would be very tempted to cough up if it was for all 3 bands, altho it would probably mean having a few quiet weekends in!!!!

PTH2009

Wonder what Def Leppards set list will be like for the gig next week ??. With Def Leppards new live album Mirrorball to to be released this week. Will the set list be that album in its entirity with maybe 1 or 2 other songs.

Thin Lizzy will only get about 30-45 mins so will probly do the classics such as Boys are back in town, Emerald, Whiskey etc.

Alice Cooper will have a sort enough set probly 1 hour or so. He will probly do the Classics too such as Posion, Schools out etc

Looking forward to the gig coming up from Waterford to it on my own but :D

Lemmy Scott

See this is a gig i wouldnt mind going to if it was near Cork -the thought of going up their getting hotel etc is awful cost me abt 200 yoyos:eek:

TheoBoone

I'm going to this gig alright. Can't wait. I love all three bands, although Def Leppard can be a little bit heavy on the ballads!!!!

I'm just wondering, will thin lizzy still have Scott Gorham when they play. If Gorham and Brian Downey are still in the band then I don't think anyone can call them a covers band.

IanMc666

Can't wait for this gig. Third time seeing Leppard!!
