Am I the only one that thinks the sound in Croke and the Aviva are ****e?. Slane is better.

Has anyone got a presale code please can't depend on getting tickets Friday morning and I need to go to this show

Well if you need to go then I suggest you buy a Nightrain Membership at 42.00 euro ,and you can buy tickets now on Ticketmaster.

Nobody is going to give you a presale code that they paid good money for,especially a new poster .

Well ****e anyway, could have just about persuaded myself to go to CP or the Avia for it but good Jesus Slane is a nightmare, at least Axl is behaving himself these days but the thought of going all the way to that hole and Axl having a tantrum is just too risky, **** that.......and those Prices for a field in the middle of nowhere?? :eek:

i think i might try madrid

tobothehobo · 05-12-2016 3:24pm

If anyone had the pre sale code they could pm me I'd really appreciate it.this gig is going to be amazing.

Ok will do thanks, your right, I'm just not rock n roll enough to potentially spend a night stranded in the middle of nowhere in a field......you sure told Me!

How many people do you know have been left stranded in Slane after a gig where it was completely the organizers fault? My guess would be f*** all.

Every year as soon as Slane is mention people start moaning and it's usually people who haven't been in years or people passing on what they've heard someone else say. One year it was madness and that was mostly down to Dublin Bus.

Yes it's a bit of a walk back to the buses if that's the way you're travelling. Yes there will probably be muck - it's in a field after all. And yes it might even rain unless they plan on putting an umbrella over 80,000 people. Don't go with the expectation that you're going to chauffeur driven in and out of the field, that the weather is going to be perfect, that there'll be no queues or that you'll be tucked up in bed soon after the gig is finished and you'll have a great day. You're never going to enjoy it when you've already decided it'll be a sh*t day.

Are the presale codes unique?

Cantona's Collars · 05-12-2016 3:59pm

I saw them the last time they played Slane,an unreal gig. Seriously tempted to go next year but herself not so much.

Exactly, if it was in Croke Park you would have people complaining about the sound for the next 5-6 months, always something.

Managed to get a Golden Circle ticket today and cannot wait for this gig. Was there in 1992 and it was a great concert. 25 Years on the place will be rocking again.

twilight_singer · 05-12-2016 4:03pm

Seen em in 92. First ever gig.
Have B+B booked for 27/05, will wait to see what the story is with tickets on friday, hate the hassle of slane.....but its Axl N slash.
Pity the full original line up never played Ireland.

Seriously, what's the benefit of the golden circle ticket?

It's just a €60 pit pass essentially.

Black Star Riders

etc. etc.

Mushy · 05-12-2016 4:30pm

Good shout really: Blizzards (not that they're good, just they'll be token Irish act). Black Star Riders was one I was thinking of too, normally show up at these.

Hopefully a decent size act like Alice in Chains will be on it.

GNR
AIC
Black Star Riders

People going to Slane can have Brush Shiels and Seb Bach fight it out over who are the true Skid Row lol

The Answer would be good also. Forgot about them. Definitely think either Black Star Riders or The Answer will be the token Irish rock band.

Conor Bourke · 05-12-2016 4:37pm

The Blizzards and The Answer were the support acts for AC/DC in Punchestown in '09 iirc.

The former were predictably crap and not very well received. The latter were decent enough.

I am coming back from Hong Kong the morning of this gig, gutted that I'll probably miss it

Mushy · 05-12-2016 4:38pm

Can nearly put money on it. Was at Foos in 2015 and really enjoyed the lineup so more of the same would be sweet.

Hi,

Here's my thinking....

The tickets are far from cheap

The band has not been together for years, so it's relying on the old back catelogue

Location is not by any means convenient for the majority of those considering going

The lead singer has a history for throwing tantrums (although I do appreciate that he's right to refuse to play if people are throwing bottles etc.)

Here's what happened the last time Guns 'n' Roses played in Ireland (albeit, with a somewhat different line up): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxLUUQdqA0I

Lithium93_ · 05-12-2016 5:10pm

Last time Guns played Ireland was May 2012, same line up as the 2010 show, but everyone seems to think they last played Dublin in 2010..

PTH2009 · 05-12-2016 5:15pm

not once on this tour did Axl show up late/walk off stage etc

theres was only ever one small incident on the NITL tour but it was a tech issue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0fC72Sl6Zg

the man has changed a lot in recent years and long may he stay that way

He actually showed up early than advertised stage time in the US over the summer. Plus the piano problem was hilarious..

I would be delighted with the old back catalogue. A lot of people would.

Is Guns N Roses still a popular act then.

The back catalogue are the reason we're going. I don't want to hear anything released after 1992.

Ashamed to be Irish that night. The crowd were a disgrace. Best thing about it was when he walked off most of the knobheads left.

The quays cleared majestically of 25 year old McCabes and Farrelly coaches bringing poor hoors back to utter dogboxes like Cavan and Longford.

Exactly, they came back in 2012 and were great.

It was the drunk knobheads as you say in the crowd that ruined the 2010 gig.

Ended up being gig of the year though. Very memorable.

Zardoz · 05-12-2016 7:01pm

Live Nation have a presale Thursday for the London concert ,all you need to do is register on their site (its free).

Definitely, one concert you will always remember for sure.

They band currently have always been on time,if not early, play a greatest hits setlist with a few Chinese Democracy songs thrown in. The recent concerts have been great from what I've seen / heard so far. Slash and Duff are back in the band. What more do ye want?? Well I guess the full original line-up would be great but that's not going to happen now apart from some guest appearances from Steven Adler and maybe Izzy somewhere down the line.

dashcamdanny · 05-12-2016 7:43pm

When was the last time they played there??

I had long hair and a leather jacket, i know that much.. And one tin of beer got me drunk. I remember that also..

London booked and paid for. Standing tickets got. Lord henry will never dupe me again.

machiavellianme · 05-12-2016 8:53pm

How much are tickets to other gigs across Europe? Struggling to find any details.

MadYaker · 05-12-2016 8:59pm

Spain is similar to here. €99 - €150 I'd say most places are the same. Except the UK which is more expensive. Not sure why people here are spending so much on Wembley tickets.

Here is my thinking, I saw them in Toronto on this tour - I very, very much urge you to go to this show, you will not be disappointed!

Delighted to wake up to see a second sweep on North America, just have to choose if I want to go to Buffalo, Montreal or Ottawa

Sundance_Kid · 05-12-2016 9:32pm

What are the options and prices for tickets for Slane?

Try on Friday and pay €89.50 and how much does this presale thing cost? Is ticket the same price?

Thanks

ShooterSF · 05-12-2016 9:48pm

Slane booked. So happy. Living in Meath doesn't have its advantages very often but every so often lady luck throws a bone

Only band I own every album legally of including my last actual CD purchase in Chinese Democracy. Seriously cannot wait.

Lithium93_ · 05-12-2016 9:56pm

I'm dying to hear the Chinese Democracy stuff live.. And the classics of course..

Nicholasj · 05-12-2016 9:57pm

Looks like the presale have sold out. Has anyone bought one recently ( lasthour).
