Oh Yes poeple I have it on very good authority that Mettalica and Megadeath will also be playing with Iron Maiden and Marylin Manson in the RDS on August 31st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say that sounds highly unlikely and I hope it's not true because I hate Megadeth and Metallica are now so **** it's unbelievable.

Le Rack · 25-05-2005 5:17pm

Yeah I wouldn't be huge on Metallica myself but I'm not complaining cuz I love Manson and Maiden are good too do neh!

It wasn't me! · 25-05-2005 7:34pm

Not a hope. No way, Megadeth aren't at all likely, given that they've played here only a few months ago, and Metallica would have instantly demanded they be made the headliners, so I'm going to say no.

Repli · 25-05-2005 8:07pm

That is NOT going to happen, whens the last time you saw metallica supporting a band?

superconor · 25-05-2005 8:22pm

That is just bull****. Megadeth there is more chance than Metallica, but there is still no way. I would love to see Megadeth again.

Le Rack · 25-05-2005 9:20pm

Metallica are headlining, I was told yesterday by a guy with major connections... well my best friends friend with major connections, but yeah, thats the story anyway, Metallica are headlining and then the three others.

John · 25-05-2005 9:53pm

I was just thinking, is there any chance of Megadeth being in the same line up as Metallica?

superconor · 25-05-2005 10:01pm

No mention on the Megadeth website.
Cannot load the Metallica website.
No mention on Iron Maiden website.
No mention on Marilyn Manson website.

....I see a pattern here....

Le Rack · 25-05-2005 10:06pm

I know I didn't believe it at first either cuz I had just been on the Maiden and Manson sites when I was told, but the sites did say "more to be announced" or something to that effect so eh just wait and see.
I've no credit at the mo so I cant ask your man for more details but as soon as I have em I'll post em here!

25-05-2005 10:12pm

I severly doubt that Metallica will be playing. Iron Maiden are the main act and I seriously doubt that Metallica will play second fiddle to them.

Anyways Metallica are'nt very good and would only lower the quality of the concert.

Le Rack · 25-05-2005 10:27pm

I'm not hugely worried anyway, I was mainly going for Manson, I like Maiden too. I just posted it for the benefit of those who like the bands and besides who's complaining if you get four bands for the price of two?!

herobear · 25-05-2005 11:26pm

yay, 2 more reasons not too go!!

i hate metallicrap and i dont like megadeth live.

i was contemplating going if static-x or dragonforce were supporting, but now i get to save my money

honru · 26-05-2005 9:01am

Jeez, people won't give this up.

Megadeth will NOT be playing at the Iron Maiden gig because they are touring the US at the same time.

And Metallica...? C'mon...

Does this "friend" resemble Ashton Kutcher or Jeremy Beadle perhaps?

Metallica playing sounded pretty definite in the Irish Times last week.

edit: URL

Corruptedmorals · 26-05-2005 12:31pm

The irish Times report said 'might be'. Same with all the other newspapers.

I'm going..Maiden and Manson are definite anyway..Metallica are NOT going to appear third on the bill...why would they? And they can't be made the headliners now. Megadeth are touring elsewhere..america i think at the same time..besides, they played here on february 1st..not too long ago.

Static-x were meant to play, but Tripp Eisen is in court..not likely. Dragonforce were almost confirmed, but not anymore...

There is definitely more bands to be announced though...but none of the above, I bet.

Incorrect.
Copied from the article referenced above:

The Irish Times wrote:

Metallica
August 31
A big metal day out here - also
on the bill are the reformed Iron
Maiden and Marilyn Manson. Best
dress in black. EUR65.

No ifs, buts, maybes or mights about it.

edit: That said, they could be making it up or be totally wrong, but they sound pretty definite. It was in a line up of all the outdoor gigs this summer.

John · 26-05-2005 1:42pm

Reformed Iron Maiden? When did they break up?

Who are "Mettalica", "Megadeath" and "Marylin Manson" ?
Sorry - had to be done

My Name IsJonas · 26-05-2005 3:23pm

was august 31st the date Metallica played here 2 years ago? that could be the source of confusion.

Nope - that gig last year was early June, Dunno about the one in 2003 though, Hmm I wonder where Irish Times got that information?

senordingdong · 26-05-2005 5:44pm

One would have to be an almighty fool to believe that information.

The Bollox · 26-05-2005 5:47pm

there's nothing about that on TicketMaster.ie

Motley Crue · 27-05-2005 8:31am

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD! That would rock! Except if that became official you'd have all those pissed off little brats who hadnt bought a ticket being like AGGHHHH! Thats not fair etc etc. When i see it in writing, ill believe it, and ill prob have bought my ticket by then.

Iron Maiden, confirmed
Marilyn Mason, confirmed
Metallica, likely
Megadeth, unlikely, they are officially breaking up/finishing/legally ending after their short European Festival Tour i think anyways.

If it did happen, it would be the greatest gig on the history of the planet.

In the meantime, Shadows Fall and Slipknot with Helmet and Gizmachi (June 9th, RDS)

Metallica, likely? I don't think so, the reason Iron Maiden and Marilyn Manson are doing the RDS this year is because Metallica turned down another tour, they are taking it easy in the run up to their next album

and I don't think Megadeth will break up, there was talk of them changing the name seeing as Dave is the only original member remaining, but afaik they are keeping the name, did you notice they are doing a second European tour,and excluding Ireland, lol

It wasn't me! · 27-05-2005 7:22pm

I've got fifty quid that says Metallica won't come near this island this year. I missed Megadeth this year so hopefully they won't split and I'll get to see them. Metallica though? No way. They aren't headlining, and it would have been fully announced by now.

senordingdong · 28-05-2005 5:16pm

OMG!!!!
OMG!!!!

Did you guys hear the news!?!?!?!

Black Sabbath were just addeed to the line-up!

They're gonna kick it off with a few classics for us!

Zapp Brannigan · 28-05-2005 5:25pm

yeah megadeath might be there

but Megadeth are gonna be touring in the states during that time.

nah theyre continuing on cos Mustaine has formed Gigantour with several kickass bands that is gonna be touring America and prolly Australia and several other coutries, so the future is looking good for Megadeth.

bonzai bob · 28-05-2005 5:38pm

yeah right, and i'm sure mustaine will swap with hammet for the gig too:rolleyes:

NEVER gonna happen i'm afraid. Metallica are in the studio are they not?

It wasn't me! · 28-05-2005 10:01pm

I have it on very good authority that Jimi Hendrix will be opening it up with Star-Spangled Banner. Watch this space...

Le Rack · 28-05-2005 10:48pm

fine what ever but the guy it came from found out about Metallica last year before it was announced/confirmed so we'll just wait and see!

Dermo · 29-05-2005 1:25am

The Maiden/Manson gig is part of the reading/leeds festival, aka Reading Ireland

the exact same thing as Metallica/Linkin Park/The Darkness a few years ago

which means any of the "special guests" will also be artists playing the carling weekend. Just before this gig was supposed to be announced the special guests were going to be "Static-X" but with their guitaris Tripp Eisen(sp?) getting arrested for kiddy fiddlying they were dropped.

With the support playing Reading/Leeds I would bet it's going to be someone like Funeral For A Friend(one of Bruce Dickenson's favourite new bands) or Iggy & The Stooges or someone similar who is also playing that weekend.

It can't be Metallica as they are not part of the festival cos they would only headline, and the headliners have been announced, and though Megadeth could be added it is VERY doubtful, as their Download festival date has been advertised as the last England & Ireland Megadeth gig before they become Dave Mustaine and friends(or whatever name they will go under then)

Zapp Brannigan · 29-05-2005 12:40pm

Well Dave said that he WILL NOT be added to that show.

And my friend told me that Sabbath are supporting.

Static-X replaced Tripp the second they dropped him, without damaging the band.
And nothing was ever said to suggest they were playing anywhere near here, I was under the impression they were touring America at that stage.

Le Rack · 29-05-2005 2:34pm

as I said fine whatever, wait and see!

John · 29-05-2005 2:51pm

I don't trust MCD themselves when they announce something. Who here remembers last year with the whole "Sonic Youth are supporting the White Stripes" fiasco? So I'm not going to trust your friend because he knew that Metallica were playing the last time.

All I'll see is you feeling like a fool for believing something so absurd.

And that goes for the rest of you too.

skregs · 29-05-2005 3:16pm

OMG! i just heard from a friend who knows this guy that Audioslave and the original line up of the Beatles will be supporting Iron Maiden too!

I cant wait!

Doubt it. Why? Because Megadeth are playing with Dream Theater, FEAR FACTORY, Dillinger Escape Plan, Nevermore, Dry Kill Logic and Symphony X on

08/26 Bank of America Pavilion- Boston, MA
09/02 Bell Centre- Montreal, QC

Maybe, but I doubt it.

Seriously though, Metallica lads? Psh... This should've been dropped by the first page...

oh shag of you cock-sucker
look this guy is reliable, I put up the post for those interested and since your all clearly not kindly remove your noses from my business.
Dont start telling me this is a public forum, yada yada yada, I know it is, but stop with the heavy criticism, what, do you know these band members personnaly to say they will or wont be playing? Regardless of whatever else is going on and been said you dont know exactly what could happen.

It wasn't me! · 29-05-2005 7:40pm

He's evidently not in this case. Megadeth are NOT going to fly over here to play one merry little date in Dublin when they played here only a few months ago, before flying back to tour in Canada. And Metallica would have been extremely public knowlege about six months ago to make sure it sold out. :rolleyes: And it's safe to say, without a doubt, neither of those bands are going to be added to the line-up. It just isn't happening.

Le Rack · 29-05-2005 9:41pm

well I know for a fact that Static-X were the original support act but were dropped from reading/leeds festival

Iron Maiden, Marylin Manson, Mettalica AND Megadeath!
