The fact that they can sell single a single ticket both amazes and saddens me.

s8n

surely both venues are far too big for them ?

helimachoptor

have seen them a couple of times, always a decent show.
Never understand why they get so much hate

Furious-Red

I would have thought they would only do one show. Yea id say both will struggle to sell. I can see the top tier being curtained off .

These guys are supporting in the UK

Wouldn't be a fan but can't understand it either, not a million miles away from say Foo Fighters IMO who seem to be worshipped to limitless proportions then, baffling

Don't buy tickets, just wait, leading up to the gig there will be a LOT of radio competitions flying about and also will be a lot of very cheap tickets on the likes of adverts/donedeal

I go tickets to Kisss a few years back for 50euro a pair, same with the last GnR visit, payed 40euro for a pair

Thats why people don't like them. Post late 90s/00s frat boy music. Staind, Creed, Limp Bizkit etc.

I tend to not take any notice of bands I'm not into. I tend not to bother checking to see if they've sold out or not, and I much prefer to listen to bands I like, and maybe see if they're playing gigs in Ireland soon.

I don't like Adele, didn't even know she was playing in the 3Arena until I heard someone talk about her on the radio the day before the gig. I don't listen to her music, so I kind of missed the ads for her gig, or didn't take any notice, if you get me.

Why worry about Nickelback, where they'll play, or to how many people they'll play to, if you don't like them?

Why? Any "madder" than Adele playing there recently?

I don't have strong feelings for Nickelback either way, not my thing so don't pay attention. But comparing them to the biggest selling artist in the world right now is a bit of a stretch

Good advice. It will likely be a curtained off gig, this is handy if they do not know how many will sell, if it does sell a lot of tickets they can open up that section if they want, so its highly unlikely that it will sell out.

Of course Adele was sure to sell out, utterly ridiculous to compare them.

Their wiki page might help
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelback#Reception

Nickelback have been criticized due to their over-use of themes involving "strippers, sex, prostitutes, drugs, sex, drinking and sex",[102] and for being derivative in the music they create, too often sticking to formula and being repetitive instead of innovative.[103][104][105] In November 2011, users of the music-oriented dating site Tastebuds.fm voted Nickelback as the number one musical turnoff, edging out Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.[106] In May 2013, the readers of Rolling Stone magazine named Nickelback the second worst band of the 1990s, behind only Creed

Nickelback need to be seen live before you start negative comments

Yea there live shows seem to be great , Will def head to see them in the 3Arena tho might explain why the price is higher then would have thought with all the production they will bring over

Soundgarden played the 3 and were well past their peak . I guess it cooler to hate nickelback? I don't go on Adele threads commenting how ****e she is

Any doubts watch this.

seachto7

The biggest tools of the lot were the people who threw rocks at Nickelback in Portugal all those years back. Imagine paying money to go to a festival and wasting your time watching a band you don't like.

so are you actually still standing by this ludicrous comment below?!?:eek:

Here is a thread on soundgarden at the time, which is a more reasonable comparison

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056952488

lots asking if it will sell out quickly and all saying not likely. No surprise there.

and one comment which also does not surprise me

Soundgarden had "one song"? Hilarious.
Still don't get why people feel the need to go out of their way to hate nickelback. I'm not a fan so I don't listen to them.

It's like hanging around with people you don't like... Just don't hang around with them !

Feel the exact same. Don't see why anyone would want to take the time to comment here if they aren't interested/going

Is there many going to this? wonder if it is near been sold out.

ON Sunday week.

should be heading to the gig myself, another one off the bucket list. Setlists look ok and monster truck should good.

The hate Nickelback get is very undeserving, they have some classic songs and its been years since they played here

PTH2009

Only 4 days away

Looking forward to it as there were amazingly one of the first bands I got into (was 12 when the awesome silver side up came out) and its taking me 14 years to see them live lol. Big fan of the WWE too which used a lot of Nickelback material in the past

The support band Monster Truck sound ok (such a juvenile but simple band name lol)

cena wrote: »

Yep, agree. No doubts. Dreadful.

Although the singers "How the f ck do we get away with this?!" expression is funny.

And no, its nowhere near sold out. Hence the wave of radio competitions for free tickets. They can't even give them away.

o1s1n

Can't believe they're playing such a large venue myself at that cost. It's baffling. I'd say there'll be about 20 people at the show.

PTH2009

The guys are performing on the late late show tonight for anyone who wants a preview for Sunday

Really pushing tickets hard. Ryan will be plugging the gig too. Advertising all over the radio still aswell. There will be a man and his dog at the gig on Sunday.

PTH2009

Lot of closed off sections here tonight but it gives it the intimate feel

The upper sections are curtained off, Standong area is curtained off a hit and not going back the full way

PTH2009

Awesome gig

How you remind me was electric along with lullaby and someday

They don't deserve the hate they get. Only corning bit was when they mentioned they were in Dublin for the last few days they had 'pints', irish people 'love to drink and sing' etc

Monster Truck were quite good actually

Completely agree. First time seeing them and thought they were awesome.
Monster truck were surprising!
On the gobus back gtown now. Absolutely pooped.

Raging i could not get to the gig due to work. Missed them the last time they were here with Staind.

PTH2009

Sad that didn't do hero, never again and dirty laundry (don Henley cover they done it for a few previous dates)

Next concerts I'm heading to is Disturbed(only really going for them TBH) and A7X in Jan then Black Sabbath

I would have loved leader of men and hero.

Still very tempted to go to disturbed myself. It would mean going up and down to dublin twice in the space of 3 days for me though!

PTH2009

Loved Ryan's cover of Everlong

That guy must of been on God's A list lol. Hes hansome lookin (coming from a straight guy lol) good musican and singer and he has thousands of people who adore him

Really thought we were getting an acoustic version of Leader of men but sadly not

Greg81

I enjoyed the gig last night. Had a great time.

Next stop Ugly Kid Joe.

Ave Sodalis

Went to the Belfast gig and it was pretty awesome! (We got Hero, just saying...) I really don't understand the hate for them. They put on a great show.
The SSE wasn't full but it was definitely not dead. I would jump at the chance to go again, and I'm not their biggest fan. Definitely gonna keep an eye on Monster Truck from now on. Even if their lead singer has better control over his hair than I do, and I strongly suspect is a lycan from Underworld.
