MCD's Easter Metal Announcement

scudzilla

On MCD's FB Page

We have a very special announcement for all you metal fans! Keep an eye on our facebook at 9am tomorrow morning!

Gonna have to be pretty big for them to make a big deal of it.

I'm saying Sabbath or Aerosmith in The Point

grimm2005

Part of me hopes it's not something I really want to go to so I can save what little money I have :P

Passenger

Let the speculation begin. I heard a few names bandied about from a reputable source but I won't share here, I'll wait for confirmation instead to be sure.

I'm going to have a guess and say that Metallica are coming back to Ireland for 2 nights.

I can guarantee it's NOT Metallica, if they were gonna play here they would have tagged it either side of Soni UK, those dates are now full, ya know how they plan everything meticulously to save money, going from UK, to mainland Europe, then back to Ireland isn't financially viable

lord lucan

I was going to say it can't be Aerosmith as they referenced metal fans but it is MCD though and knowing our luck it'll probably be Feckin kodaline or some other equivalent tripe!

Lithium93_

Well if ain't Metallica, then i'm betting on it being one of the following..

Black Sabbath
Motorhead
Megadeth
Children Of Bodom
Testament
Black Label Society

scudzilla

Oh, another one i've just heard.

Slayer @The Academy July 6th

Apparently this popped up on the new events on Ticketmaster.ie but has now been removed

Lithium93_

Well if it popped up on New Events on Ticketmaster, then removed again, safe to say it'll be Slayer coming to Ireland.

Kerry, Tom (who can't sing or hear) and two stand-ins aren't Slayer.

I'd pay twice as much to see Vader player a Slayer set.

Did you not go to last years Slayer gigs? Were amazing.

As for the 2 stand ins WTF do you want? Jeff died, horribly inconvenient for the likes of yourself i know, Gary Holt is an extremely competent replacement and Bostoph, although he's no Lombardo he's still a beast behind the kit.

Did you just want them to retire?

I'll step out now, I wouldn't want to see this incarnation of Slayer.

Lithium93_

In all fairness if it is indeed Slayer, i'd still go see them live, who cares if it's Gary Holt & Paul Bostaph on guitar & drums respectively, both are brilliant musicians, who are in the band due to circumstances beyond their control...... Gary was already filling in for Jeff and is continuing on in Jeff's place, and Paul was brought in because Lombardo jumped ship.

**** happened with Slayer, Tom & Kerry decided to carry on with Gary & Paul.
That's how i see it.

Sabbath warm up gig?

neddynono

Iron maiden??

Mental Mickey

Hope it's not Sabbath or Slayer!? Both bands well past it

Nailz

The same sort of show they have going in Hyde Park on July 4th and I'll be a very happy boy. To be honest, if Faith No More is involved I don't really care either way!

Lithium93_

Anybody think it could be Mastodon?

Mental Mickey

Could be? They've got a new album out soon.

Lithium93_

One last guess and i'll wait until 09:00am to find out.



Children Of Bodom

scudzilla

Like i said, Slayer @ The Academy

Lithium93_

^^^^^^ You're 100% sure it's Slayer @ The Academy

(Not that i'm doubting you or anything)

Sounds like who wants to be a millionaire!

"Is that your final answer?!"

bradlente

Mastodon Gojira in the Academy free for anyone that still has their canceled ticket.

Lithium93_

I just need to know so i can start saving my money.

Any confirmation on this??

Dave's side of the story at a recent enough Belfast clinic.

Then you'll hit 18 and the constant "my favourite band ever/will I be allowed in" threads will start to annoy you too.

It's the law. Rules won't be bent.

Pretty hefty price for Slayer. At least ManOwaR had mental European chicks coming over for it to make it more worthwhile!

LandonRicketts

F*ck! i'll be in Rome that night for Metallica/Alice in Chains :-( Any chance of a 2nd date like they did last year?

Mental Mickey

How much are the tickets?

slavetothegrind

39 euro i believe

They were bloody brilliant last year.

There will be only one gig I'd say. They are in Belfast the night before and Anthrax are playing the Academy the night after. Working Friday morning at 9am so don't know how I'm going to get tickets:(

Lithium93_

Definitely buying a Slayer ticket on Friday morning.

Degag

Can anyone remember how long it took the first day tickets last year to sell out?

Feck it, never saw that Sodom and Vader were doing the tour too, now I'm pissed about that!

Think I'll give Slayer a miss this time, bit skint.

blastman

Feck this, already have a gig the same night (and planning to go to Anthrax the following night)! Was at one of the gigs last year and thought they were great, although it was sad that there was no Lombardo and Hanneman, of course.

You can always fly Dub -Eindhoven ( Tilburg is around the corner.. 30 km)


Maybe an option

Nah, already going to be heading to London to see Girugamesh, only gonna go abroad for one gig this year, unless something truly special turns up. Had been thinking of going to Germany to see Jupiter back in Feb, but couldn't afford it at the time. I'd be rapidly broke if I went overseas to see every band I'd like to see, 'cos so many don't even come to the UK never mind Ireland.
