Mushy

As per thread title, playing 3Arena/Point. Tickets on sale Friday

Children Of Bodom, not Children Of Boom :P

GLaDOS

Never really listened to the other 3, but I'll be going for Megadeth.

Wrongway1985

So this is a co-headline? The point is surely too big for this craic, I'll be heading anyway can't help thinking this will be one of the rock/metal shows in the point where its half full and some of the f**kers won tickets to be there!

PTH2009

Remember the movie the van when they worked outside a megadeth gig lol. A lot of non fans will just be there cause of this

Going to motley crue in Nov and def leopard in Dec so have to give this one a miss. Looks like a good gig.

Xenji

This will be my 7th time seeing Megadeth, just hope they actually change up the set like they had been doing last year, have seen all the support acts before and they are all very solid live, all 3 will also be supporting new albums.

Same here. Would love to go to this but can't go to them all.

Great price.

zenarcadian

Possibly the most boring metal lineup someone could have pulled from the idle mind of a rural teenager's formative musical experiences. Also, putting money in Dave Mustaine's pocket like he isn't a rabid right-wing douchebag.

I remember seen Megadeth in 2010 playing the Marquee, Cork. About 1500 attended. Two very mediocre albums later they're co-headlining the 3 arena. Just seems like strange booking.

I was at that show. Copped the free tic and thought they'd surely put the effort in for Rust in Peace. How wrong I was. :-( There was also surely not 1500 there: the back row/stands were almost entirely empty.

Yeah I only reckon 1500. It could of been less because I know the Marquee holds about 5,000. (I may be wrong on that). From where I was standing at front row he's vocals we're very muddy. I don't think I'd bother shelling out €50 as I wouldn't have much interest in the other bands

lertsnim

I was at that Marquee show and thought it was great. There was also more than 1500 there. I was at the back so could actually see the crowd in front of me.

scudzilla

Will head into this but not gonna buy a ticket, be PLENTY closer to the time for half the price (comps etc)

nxbyveromdwjpg

They'll close the top tier of seats and the ground level beyond the bottom of the lower tier, I was just at The Libertines last week with this set-up and surprisely it was great.
Doesn't feel empty or too big at all.

blastman

Only one of The Big Four I haven't seen live, maybe it's time...

They played for the first time in almost a year at a festival in Québec; The setlist isn't very ambitious given the line-up change but imagine it would suit anyone seeing them for the first time. Imagine they'll be dropping that dire Lizzy cover in Dublin no doubt...

2. Wake Up Dead
   
3. In My Darkest Hour
   
4. Skin o' My Teeth
   
5. Sweating Bullets
   
6. Tornado of Souls
   
7. Dawn Patrol
   
8. Poison Was the Cure
   
9. Kingmaker
   
10. Trust
    
11. A Tout Le Monde
    
12. She-Wolf
    
13. Symphony of Destruction

That setlist has been standard for the last two years at festivals, with at most 2-3 changes, seeing that this is a co headlining show with Lamb of God, expect something similar, although they are not playing again till November so they may have more time to practice and probably throw in a new song.

I must say though from watching some of the Youtube videos from the show, that Daves voice is the strongest it has been for years.

Wrong Megadeth have an appearance at Japan's Loud Park in October, then Dublin in November.

I meant outside of festivals, although they are headlining the Sunday show, so they should play longer than in Quebec.

Lithium93_

Silly question, but hopefully someone can help out, I have to pick up the ticket for the gig at the O2 box office, even though i've been in the O2 before, is the box office inside the door of the venue after security scan the ticket and your allowed in or what??

Yes, it is inside the venue, so here's what you need to do:

The exact location of the box office is here:
http://w3w.co/brand.digit.major

If you tell one of the Stewards that you have a box office collection, they will usually let you in here without any queuing:
http://w3w.co/crowned.shakes.marble

If they don't let you in directly, you will need to get in the queue for this security point:
http://w3w.co/skins.chips.apply

(zoom into these three linked maps, these pinpoints are EXACT locations.)

RoryMurphyJnr

I'd be happy with that played list. Bringing the young lad (8) with me for his first metal gig, he's already well up for it.

Has a lot to live up to though, was at Deathcrusher last night and that was immense

Stage times for Monday

DOORS: 17.30
Sylosis: 18.00
Children Of Bodom: 18.50
Lamb of God: 19.50
Megadeth: 21.30 - close

D.Q

So with this not expected to sell out, do ya think it would be worth trying to get a cheaper ticket off a tout outside. No interest in sylosis or COB, so half thinking of heading up a bit later and hopefully catch someone trying to sell tickets cheaper outside.

sabrewulf

^ THIS, except for the tout part. Instead buy from a concertgoer that has brought an extra ticket from someone that pulled out last minute - they will happily let it go for half price. Hold up an A4 or A5 sheet that reads "I need a ticket" unless you prefer asking every single person walking around there individually.

Xenji

Megadeth were great tonight, well besides coming on late and ditching 3 songs because of it and Dave's vocal needing a turn up, but besides that everything was tight.

The crowd on the other hand were horrific, had something pulled on me by this rather large scumbag during Symphony after he barreled through my girlfriend and her sister, it was woeful near the front, assholes and daytripers who had no clue what moshing or the pit was about.

Not a kneejerk response and have been to 100s of gigs, but tonight had a first in it.

NachoBusiness

Was upfront throughout and loved it.

Seen lots falling in the pit and as ever people went out of their way to get them back on their feet.

You might just have been in a bad spot.

In My Darkest Hour was the highlight of the night for me.

Could've sworn they'd played less than LoG alright.

Anyway to the lads who returned my phone, sound again.

If anyone managed to get setlists from the stage or sound desk, can ye take a photo of them and include it here?

I didn't see any of the Megadeth setlist print outs - that were placed at various places on the stage before the gig - being handed out after the show.

It's always nice to get photo of them!

Sylosis played from 6pm till 6.28pm

Children of Bodom played from 6.49pm till 7.19pm

Lamb of God played from 7.50pm till 8.59pm.

Megadeth played from 9.44pm till 11pm.

What three songs did Megadeth leave out? Were they included on the setlist?

The gig was the first gig on a co-headlining tour which also includes four dates in the UK, so until the next gig takes place, can it be confirmed that they omitted three songs?

The listing for the gig on setlist.fm does not indicate that they played Thin Lizzy's Cold Sweat:

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/megadeth/2015/3arena-dublin-ireland-1bf5256c.html

I just thought, that since they didn't start at 9.30pm as listed - and it wasn't stated on MCD's twitter what time they were due to end - that they had not intended playing any longer than 75 minutes, and therefore by starting at 9.45pm they could play till 11pm?

I was thinking that if they'd intended playing a 90 minute set, that they would have started at 9.30pm at the latest.

As it is advertised as a co-headlining tour, that would explain why the there wasn't much difference in the length of Megadeth and Lamb of God's sets.

A Tout Le Monde, Kingmaker and P.E. #1

Prob not the other poster is referring to the setlist from their previous show which was in Russia but wasn't co headline with LOG there so they had more time.

Dublin set is up on setlist.fm

Only hearing Randy Blythe was attacked by scumbags on Sunday night when he was out walking disgraceful got struck in the head and his glasses broken the man has no luck in Europe.

Show was decent done better than I expected too obviously it was never gonna sell out but it was certainly worth their while.

Say Your Number

I only saw LOG and Megadeth and enjoyed it overall.

Is it just me or were LOG a lot louder? I was standing further back for them and that's how it seemed to me.

Yeah Mustaine's voice seemed very low in the mix, could barely hear him at times, that new guitar player was brilliant, he got the Tornado of Souls solo bang on.

Have to say I never realised Mustaine was such a good rhythm
player, I thought he was an arrogant c*nt for saying he's one of the best rhythm guitarists in the world, looks like he can back it up :pac:

Was A Tout Le Monde a victim of the late start, thought it was kinda strange that they left it out.

Would have loved to see Megadeth play for another hour, they have the back catalogue to easily fill that much time, one minor downside was they played nothing off Youthanasia

Also I was forced to throw away a good bottle of water on the way in, was going to buy one in there but they were charging 3 Euro for a 500 ml bottle, the gouging bastards :mad:

Yes, I think, it's often the case that when bands tour with that many other bands, they don't intend playing as long as 90 minutes each, and I guess if Megadeth had played those three songs it would have been a 90 minutes set.

When Europe and Black Star Riders played in the Olympia in March, I think they played around 1 hour 15 minutes each, or slightly less.

Edit: Black Star Riders started at 8.13pm and finished at 9.28pm.

Europe started at 9.52pm and played till 11.06pm

sham69

Good gig overall.
Would have liked to hear more of cob.
Lamb of god were very impressive live , I hadn't heard much before last night.
I was mainly there for megadeth and have to say the sound was awful, the songs might as well have been instrumental, very annoying , couldn't make out any lyrics.
Seemed to me that most people were there for LOG
The floor emptied when their set ended.

GLaDOS

Missed COB which was annoying but early start obviously necessary with so many bands.

Never really listened to LoG but enjoyed their set.

Sound for Dave's vocals was awful. Don't know if it was a technical issue (sounded like it was simply too low) or what but very disappointing. Most gigs I've been too in the O2 have been spot on in terms of sound so surprised by this. That said I still enjoyed them.

Professional Griefer

LoG were unreal, really enjoyed their set. Megadeth were fairly disappointing, couldn't hear vocals at all.

horseburger

It has been stated by a few people on metalireland that Megadeth cut their set short by a few songs.

http://www.metalireland.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=63477&start=105

I'm just curious how this can be suggested, considering that the gig last night was the first show of five dates co-headlining with Lamb of God?

I think this is being stated, based on previous concerts by Megadeth, which were not part of the same tour.

If anyone managed to get a copy of one of the print outs of the setlist at the gig, that might confirm, whether or not Megadeth played as long as they originally intended.

They came on stage 15 minutes late, hence the 3 missing songs, we will know more when we see the UK sets.

Unless we get to see the setlist print out from the gig, there is no way of knowing for certain, if they intended to play the three songs that were included in the earlier shows, in the last few weeks, the shows that were not part of the series of co-headlining shows with Lamb of God.

They played the same number of songs as Dublin, on some of the earlier shows on the tour, for example in Shanghai China on 8th October, but for other shows they played 17, or 18 songs, for example in Perth on 16th October.

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/megadeth/2015/shanghai-indoor-stadium-shanghai-china-bf41126.html

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/megadeth/2015/metro-city-concert-club-perth-australia-3f4591f.html

In Japan they played 14 songs, and that particular show included A Tout Le Monde, but didn't include Fatal Illusion, which they played in Dublin.

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/megadeth/2015/saitama-super-arena-saitama-japan-43f4035f.html

They have also played songs in different orders from gig to gig, for example Peace Sells was the last song before the encore in Dublin, whereas at the Shanghai gig, - according to the listing on setlist.fm, and working on the basis that it is accurate - it was the last song and it would appear they didn't play Holy Wars.

Wrongway1985

China doesn't have bands play if they don't submit lyrics and so can even dictate if a song can't make the cut quite likely playing Holy Wars... was a big no no.

As for the setlist I'd say it's likely just A Tout Le Monde dropped and the setlist for the UK is the same so you'll know soon.

I understand that, about China's laws on censorship, but I wonder what was stopping them replacing Holy Wars with something else?

It reminds me about the Iron Maiden gig in Belfast in August 2011, where they didn't play The Trooper, presumably because of the Union Jack flag Bruce Dickinson waves during the song, and I guess also because of the way the UDA have used the image of the cover of the single, in the murals that were painted in Derry and Carrickfergus.

http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/mccormick/photos/no330.htm#photo

http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/mccormick/album35.htm

The description, of the Carrickfergus mural, from the CAIN site states:

"Show No Mercy and Expect None". Iron Maiden’s "Eddie" in red military uniform carrying a rifle and a tattered UDA flag. In its original form, this commonly used Loyalist image formed the front cover artwork of the Iron Maiden single "The Trooper" released in June 1983 and was painted by Derek Riggs. In this mural version, the grim reaper stands in the background. Three graves are marked by crosses; they read "G. Adams, McGuiness and A Maskey". " ‘B’ Coy. C-Fergus" with the UFF crest".

http://extramuralactivity.com/2015/02/23/show-no-mercy/

There are also mugs sold, with the UDA interpretation of the Trooper single cover.

At that Belfast gig, Iron Maiden didn't replace the song, they played a song less in Belfast, than any other show on the tour.

The China shows were a disaster, they were basically hauled off stage at the first show and had to play instrumentals of a lot of the songs.

Fatal illusion was debuted in Australia.

The Japan shows were festival appearances.

Still though, If the other shows on the tour, were not co-headlining shows, it would suggest that Megadeth had the opportunity to play longer at those shows, for example the Australian gigs, than on these current shows with Lamb of God.

Does anyone have a photo of last night's setlist print out?:)

I went to the sound desk, a few minutes after the gig ended, but the sound man said they were all gone, so presumably they were handed out when the gig ended.
