Would never bother me if an artist forgets words every now and again. They are human!

If they had to play a classic Irish song I'd love if they'd done "Where's me jumper". Now that would have got the crowd going.

Come out Ye Black and Tans would also have been an excellent choice. Also would be heavied up big time when dropped to D.

I emailed ticketmaster about the zone a - €10 thingy and i just received this reply today -

"We are currently in the middle of our busy season so our reply may be delayed.

We appreciate your patience while we look into this for you.

Has anyone else heard back?

I heard back from Ticketmaster who have told me that it's not their problem, that a venue change can happen up to the last minute and that since MCD never informed them of a venue change that my concern should be directed to MCD and not to Ticketmaster...

I then contacted MCD who, I have to say, apologised so much and have expressed that zone A was dropped weeks previous to the set up of Slane and as a way of compensation sent me a VIP package containing some memorabilia of the day at Slane...

I'm still annoyed at Ticketmaster as I initially had zone A tickets and could have walked into the venue with these and saved myself money but I have to say that MCD were very apologetic in their approach to my concern and I did say that it wasn't just me that this extra money had been taken from, that there would have hundreds of fans duped by this Zone A upgrade....

Hope this helps and if you hear anything from Ticketmaster,it would be great if you could keep us informed ...

Muahahaha

Well in fairness thats not a bad result, I wouldnt have expected that from MCD. Have they got all touchy feely over the last while or something?

My concern was with Ticketmaster who stayed faceless and rude with their response to me but MCD were so different in their approach... Maybe it's because it affects so many people...I remember when the zone A thing started and MCD came out and apologised and Ticketmaster said that you could change your tickets for a fee and now it turns out that they took extra money off people for no reason...
Anyway, I'm happy that MCD acknowledged my concern and I will continue to question Ticketmaster for taking money that they didn't need to...imagine, if even 1000 people uprgraded from zone A to general standing then Ticketmaster and MCD pocketed an extra 10,000 for the day...I don't think personally they should get away with that ..

I got the amsterdam one as I was at it. The sound quality is tops. Was some show, no leaf clover was the highlight for me.

That was a fantastic day and I'm still smiling at the thoughts of it

2021 is the 30th anniversary of the Black album, wonder will they tour for that?

They have toured Master of Puppets and The Black Album already.

Don't know if they'd do it again. Although I'd definitely love that Master of Puppets in full tour again.

Jesus H. Christ. Thirty years? Now I feel really really old.

I was 19 when it came out. The Point in 92 was my first Metallica gig. That was some night too. I Still have my ticket and a few (very fuzzy) pictures from it somewhere.

****in loved that tour, the indoor part, think it was October time, seen them in Manchester, Birmingham and London, they used to REALLY mix the set lists up then, in Manchester they opened with Wherever I may Roam

My first Metallica gig was at the Point on that tour. I think if they were playing 2 nights at a venue they strayed from the usual ES/CD start. Great times, although in hindsight the video instead of a support band was quite naff. Didn’t Lars have rotating drum kits or something as well?

It moved around the stage. I was at that gig too and loved the fact it was pure Metallica and no ****ty support act.

The video beforehand was cringeworthy

they actually didnt mix the setlists up at all back then..if you look at the setlists from the uK/Irish leg of that tour they only switched roam in as an opener once and used to change between creep and sandman as an opener. the odd time..obviously back then they didnt have as much material to rotate. if you look at the 300 shows on the black album tour they rarely changed the setlist. It wasn't until 2003 onward that Lars is on record as saying they have never played the same set two nights in a row

Aviva would be good.

Dunno though, if they hit Europe again next year it's probably be the festival circuit which means we miss out.

Location the only thing somewhat going for it, found it poor for multiple reasons for AC/DC, I'm highly unlikely to part with 100 beans to enter there for a gig again, just my opinion of course.

Not necessarily,they have often played Ireland around the time they have been on European festival treks.
