    Have seen them 4 times and i dont think ill be in a rush to see them again. They still put on a decent show but dont think ill grab tickets if they are back in May.

    Yea if Pearl Jam play (anywhere in Ireland) i shall be in attendance especially after Eddies show here during the summer i am dying to see them. I can def see Pearl Jam and QOTSA doing Rock Werchter (if PJ do tour Europe)

    Wasn't that fully seated?

    Reckon I'll go to this

    Missed the 2013 show and i was impressed with the clips I've seen of him live recently

    Reckon the ticket price won't be nice though

    Would depend on the price, which they are seemingly keeping secret for now. I wonder if they try and gauge the reaction these days before deciding on a selling price -or hold off in the hope friends will agree with each other to go -and less likely to pull out even if the price is very high.

    I'm not knocking him as an artist. I have always had a soft spot and might well go. But Croke Park was w2006, a lot closer to his heyday.
    Would be delighted if he sold out.

    One of my friends was in the Canada in April and he got to see them. He reckoned they sounded really well but JBJ'S voice was in a bit of trouble but the rest of the band where able to carry him. I seen Phil X said they where touring Europe for certain in 2018, i think they can pull 40k mark to a gig, i would love if they do play that it is outside dublin in one of the regional stadiums, The one thing my friend said was that there is something missing from the way the band sound without richie

    I haven't seen them since Slane but I've heard Jon's voice hasn't been great lately.

    Phil X is great on guitar but I definitely miss Richie's voice, particularly on songs like Wanted Dead or Alive.

    Either that, or Daft Punk (the whole pyramid symbolism thing).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,539 ✭✭✭ghostdancer


    Aiken won't have the worldwide exclusive live comeback of Daft Punk TBF.

    His voice has been crap since the early ninenties though,he did serious damage from too much touring back in the early days .

    Has there been any big announcement where it wasn't rumoured to be him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    The man has proven himself to be a laughably insincere scumbag, a greedy cnut, who let down thousands of fans here as he could not make the profit he wanted by blackmail. But I don't think even he would stoop so low as to be using the Vegas massacre as a sneaky way to promote an upcoming gig.

    Though in his excuses for dublin I seem to remember him dragging his dead mother into his excuses somehow -so you never know.

    3arena would not be profitable enough for him if he was to play here.

    He is selling out shows all over the states for the last 3 years and making an absolute fortune and doing so at a flat ticket fee of ~80 dollars, regardless of location in the venue, and using credit card entry for the best seats.
    $310.9 million gross in 3 years,he could have made double that if he was a greedy cnut like other artists who tout their own tickets on resale markets.

    The money he would have made from the Dublin gigs is pocket change to him .

    And he done quite the few Matinee shows on the tour (obv it would of been a logistics problem for CP and near impossible to do)

    Id love for him to come back and play and finally put that 2014 farce too bed. He will still sell the shows out no bother and people will camp out for nights/ systems crashing etc. The man made a tit of himself really but karrma certainly didn't hit him as he made tons of $$$$ after leaving fans here heartbroken. It's in the past and I have witnessed some incredible shows since then. 2014 still hurts a little and won't be gone til I see him live (if I get the chance). When you look forward to something so much and have it taken away hurts

    But that dublin sign in that office has always been there and the news sites noticed it and made a storie of it. I don't think he will announce irish dates 2morrow and it was all just a cocidence

    Has anyone got a presales code for Billy Joel at the Aviva??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,131 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    so the annoucement dis morning was Roger Waters and not Garth Brooks

    have to make a choice as Billy Joel and Roger Waters are only days apart, Billy Joel in the aviva 23rd June and Waters in the 3arena 26th June ???. Think ill try for Billy Joel as i wasant impressed with Waters lip Syncing discovery and Joel may be a less boring show

    If you are going to one because it will be "less boring" than the other why not just skip both???
