    Well if they can fill Slane then it has to be Croker on their next visit to Ireland.

    Let's be honest there were alot of people at slane that were there because it was slane
    I'd say the rds at 35,000 or at best a 50,000 Aviva
    Neither venue is ideal for them but they would more than likely sell out
    I personally think they would be better off in Marley park with 40,000 capacity in the open air field and quite simply the best venue in the country for getting to and from

    It would be tough going for most rock bands to play a large outdoor show and then return the following year to do a similiar sized gig.

    Maybe through them in the 3Arena for two nights?

    Just looking at that and I doubt it’s true.

    On the Load tour they played here on 9 October and had a date in Glasgow the next night. There was no gig scheduled the night before but they were in Newcastle the night before that and they’d never have done 4 nights in a row, especially going from UK to Ireland to UK.

    I didnt get to the merch stands unfortunately as there must have been 100 people at them when they arrived.

    I have noticed some guitar pick photos online though since. Anyone know if these were available on the day and if there is anywhere they can be bought now?

    Heres an example:

    Yeah, they were available on the day. I think they were sold in a pack for €20.00.

    Great set list for the Manchester show last night. Disposable Heroes, God that Failed and Sanitarium. Got pissed on too by the looks of it.

    I would've said the opposite,the best he's sounded in years. Their relaxed touring Schedule is helping his voice.

    I thought he was fairly good too. Voice cracked once or twice but sure he's always kinda done that the odd time. For his age I thought he sounded grand.

    Just listened to some of it and his voice ain’t bad at all.

    Why don’t more bands do this relaxed schedule touring ? Makes sense

    It's a great idea but can be quite expensive for bands to do but with Metallica the money will take care of itself ,some bands just dont have the scope to take the risk and then again some just love being on the road ,
    There also a band that goes by it's own rules and very rarely fits it schedule to suit promoters , mcd and slane itself would have much preferred an early may or late August gig but mcd got the call for early June and it was a take it or leave it deal

    They should do, take Bon Jovi for example, hardly short of a few bob but according to many many reports who went to see him this weekend his voice is fcuked. Surely it would help doing a touring cycle like Metallica.

    Not only that, the pics i seen of James in Clare, he looked the happiest offstage i've seen him for years, taking pics with fans and that,

    The download thing for the gig...I've got it sorted onto my iTunes but the cover picture is shite. Someone put up a picture way back in the thread somewhere for use with the download but I can't find it...anyone?
