    If you can afford it, knock yourself out. I love Slane.

    I didn't find Slane that bad at Metallica in terms of getting in and out, heard a lot of horror stories about it in the past but was grand. That said getting to the bar and toilets was a pain esp as the day went on. I went up on a bus and they were parked in a quarry about 20/30 min walk, best thing is timing your exit

    I'd love to get one of the VIP seated tickets

    I was 'Golden Circle' for Metallica. I'd much rather be there than in a seat. The bar and toilets were a complete ballache as the day went on alright. In saying that, they're the same as that at pretty much any one-dayer or festival.

    Think I've attempted every option with Slane.

    *Camped
    *Up and down on the bus
    *Stayed in Dublin and got bus out and back
    *Last year stayed with friends living in Slane

    Been there 7 times and would go again in the morning.

    I don't believe it either. Your username is 'Jacksie66' but the OP's username is 'jacksie66'. You must be a different person...

    Anyone else read Brian's book, reading about his childhood and everything up to 1979 was interesting, after that we're into well worn territory, it only covers Back in Black and the last few years, wish there was more insights into life with AC/DC still it was a good read.

    AC/DC look to be down to play a rock supershow along with GnR, Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden and Tool this October.

    https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/power-trip-metallica-ozzy-osbourne-acdc-guns-n-roses-1234705537/

    Commence speculation as to whether this is a one-off thing or will it be part of a larger tour?

    Defo a larger tour but they probably have to wait until this thing sells so they dont dilute the marketing.

    They were quiet for a good while, would have been an awful shame if COVID prevented them from one last tour, hope there is more to come and the band gets to go out on their own terms.

    Just seeing that a chap called Matt Laug is playing drums for them at Power Trip, never heard of him, but he's played for some big names, is Rudd not up it anymore or his criminal record causing problems.

    I'd say Rudd can't get a visa for the U.S. due to his conviction and it was easier to get someone else to fill in.

    Haven't seen any footage of gig last night, but that looks like a great setlist.

    If You Want Blood, Riff Raff, Stiff Upper Lip.

    Throw in Gone Shootin' and it would be perfect, if they do tour and I get a chance to see them I'd be happy with that.

    Given he's 76 and his voice has been teetering on the brink for 30 odd years it's a minor miracle he has any voice at all.

    oh yeah, totally agree, but listening to the odd few tracks from last night, not a chance does his voice hold out for a farewell tour

    Somebody's started a rumour on Facebook that Phil Rudd is potless and is trying to raise money for a medical operation by selling memorabilia out of the boot of his car. Take this with a massive pinch of salt.
