possibly worst slane line up ever?

goodgolfer64

im currently trying to give away my slane ticket on FB and cant...after KOL who live arent that wonderful the rest i simply never heard of....Bryan Adams last at slane comes to mind of brutal slanes...'hello my name is bryan adams' as 40k walk towards the gates straight after

lalee17

I'll take it

mikemac

Giving it away for free?

lalee17

If so, you're next in line feelingstressed.

Flojo

As much as I love Kings of Leon... there is no way in hell I would have paid 80quid to go see them.

Knifey Spoony

Why did you buy the ticket in the first place?

And you have never heard of Thin Lizzy? They may be a tribute band now, but still if you havn't heard of them then there is something very, very wrong.

Azureus

The amount of people trying to sell their Slane tickets in the last week has been hilarious! Mostly down to Champions League final tonight I reckon, but the lineup didnt warrant me buying one in the first place.

mike65

The prospect of standing in the wind and rain isn't helping I'd say.

bonerm

I think this is where Slane went all wrong.

Thin Lizzy, The Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Queen , David Bowie, Guns N' Roses, Neil Young, R.E.M. ............... The Verve and Robbie Williams.

peppapig24

Would defo agree with people desperatly trying to shift tickets got two last night for 120. The internets full of them even new posts this morning.

True. It would have to be a very good line up to peel me off the sofa. No, ill take a few beers and the European cup final by the fire over a day standing in the rain in a big field in Meath.

Atomic Pineapple

Madonna? The Eminem attempt?

Its a brutal line up today for 80 quid, KOL nowhere near good enough to match some of the better headliners. I see KOL when they only had good albums along with the Pixies and a much better line up in Landsdowne road years ago for about 50 euro.

I bought a Slane ticket hoping the line up would be great but its been a huge let down.

Tubsandtiles

Op if you don't think the Kings of Leon are good live why do you have a ticket ?, they sound alot better I will say indoors eg the 02 but... White lies are the best band I have ever seen live, Mona are a new band starting off , Elbow are amazing live and we all know what Thin Lizzy are . Whats the big deal with people saying its a crap lineup on Facebook, you bought the ticket for the headline act before the supporting acts were unannounced . I couldn't stand the majority of those people only singing along to sex on fire anyhows

You should have waited 'til the lineup was announced :P

skregs

Last years one was muck too. Oasis and the Prodigy would have been stellar if it was still 1996.


And eh, weren't the Stereophonics headliners at one point?
Fairly major drop in quality compared to Queen or Bowie

That lineup gives me a boner, right up to The Verve :rolleyes: What was the change that happened there?

KerranJast

Last great Slane was 2003. Feeder, QoTSA, Foo Fighters and RHCP. It was epic.

mike65

Slane really needs to land AC/DC next year or it'll be a Take That/Westlife double header!

AKA AC/AC

Nodin

Festivals are apparently great craic, as long as you aren't there for the music. So I've been told, anyhoo.

Biggins

The line-ups for this person and his taste, have been crap for years.

Yep, from then on it became deeply disappointing for me. Dire.

mike65

Part of the problem is that there are fewer bone-fida rock bands around these days who can fill a big bowl with enough noise and pyrotechnic action.

super_furry

I think the problem is over exposure. Kings of Leon seem to be playing here every six months.

Snowie

The problem being that every album the kings of leon have done.

Sounds like the last one there **** there sticking to that same old yay were on winner so why change what we do

wel kol it gets Fvcking boring

OutlawPete

I was too young to see Springsteen there, remember all my brothers heading off to it, bastards, would love if he played there again.

Was only ever there once, GnR '92, was burnt to a crisp and don't recall anything about the gig.

Alter-Ego

Slane badly needs a Led Zeppelin reunion. Now that would be epic!

Snowie

slane need left feild Underworld and orbital Now that would be awesome

super_furry

Bet your bollocks it'll be Lady Gaga next year.

Profondo Rosso

That's the state of music, nowadays. If Kings of Leon get to headline Slane, it doesn't say much about the bands that are around.

The "rockstar" is dead. Now it's just lads having a handy time making lots of money and touring.

Zebra3

Kings of Leon are shyte.

Every song seems to be just the one poxy tune recycled.

Yakult

KoL are probably one of the most boring live bands you will come across. All filler no killer. Definably wouldnt pay the ticket price or go to the effort of going up to it.

They'll always be a bunch of farm boys from the early 00's to me. Didn't like them then and I most certainly don't like them now.

Sorry, it was the best gig I've ever been to, first time I saw him live, but I was so blown away that I went over to Leeds then on the same tour. Have been all over Europe to see him since, but still remember that gig, boiling hot day, crowd being hosed down. I was extremely hung over from the night before, so much so that when the bus we went up on stopped at a pub for lunch, my friend and I stayed on the bus and drank 7Up:rolleyes:

So jealous man

I have a bootleg of the gig and he is constantly asking the crowd are the okay, you could hear the fear and concern in his voice. I must upload some of it to YouTube as even without video, it's great to hear his reaction to the crown, especially with it being the first time he played here.

You want some nostalgia, here's a BBC report on the day of the first UK gig and the footage they show is from Slane:

I dropped my sister and her husband off at Slane a few hours ago. Lots of beered up knackers around the place, and that's only in the surrounding fields. She said that it is knackeragua in the grounds as well. I don't think the cops are bothered anymore. That's what allows the lawlessness that exists nowadays. We'll never learn in this country.

El Siglo

Just had a look at the lineup, it's pretty bad for Slane.

The lead singer sounds like an oul fella. They are Lynard Skynard lite for the new generation, who think they look "hunky"

I am a huge Zeppelin fan, but Robert Plant's voice is completely shot. I think AC/DC is a must for Slane now. Beano Johnson never could sing anyway

That would be awesome.

Or how about a Pink Floyd reunion?

Feck it let's have Led Zep and Pink Floyd on the same day. Come on Henry make it happen

Now that would be a Slane gig to go to.

His voice was good when i saw them in 2007.:)

Could we have a reunion of the living fab-four Beatles or as I like to call them "Ringo Starr"?

Oh ? I stand corrected. Anytime I saw him in concert on telly of late I thought his voice was frail

Dr conrad murray

was at slane 98 lineup was The verve ,manicstreetpreachers
realy good and will never forget it.

was at slane 2009 = desaster and i will never return, unless henry gets the beatles to reform and brings john lennon and george harrison back from the
dead.

Agree, but i think they made a very special effort for the reunion gig, they were electric on stage together that night.:cool:
