Repli · 09-06-2005 11:45PM #1

Ok we don't get metallica this year, but so far theres been

Megadeth
Yngwie Malmsteen
Green Day
Weezer
Jimmy Eat World
Good Charlotte

And to come:
Slayer
The Pixies
Slipknot
Iron Maiden/Marilyn Manson
Steve Vai

Anyone anything to add to that? It's a fairly impressive list tbh
Karl H please don't move this to gigs as it's not about a specific gig

On a different music note:

Franz Ferdinand
Paddy Casey
Snow Patrol
QOTSA
The Killers
Stereophonics
U2

Yeah that's more my kind of list alright - plus Scissor Sisters ... though I won't be seeing them because they're coupled with Franz Ferdinand (Seen them THREE times now - not going again!) and Maroon 5 (Booooo...)

Need I even mention... 50p and eminem...wtf is Henry Mt Charles thinkin, there'll be stabbings a second, and peeps "bustin a cap in " each others asses, otherwise I've found the bud rising festival pretty good, and the oxegen line up seems pretty funky. Not the bestest year, but still a kick ass year

limerick_man · 10-06-2005 09:33PM

Hello, everyone forgot the big Slane gig... eminem and 50 cent... couldnt get tickets but i know 3 who did!

Killaqueen!!! · 10-06-2005 10:11PM

I actually really like eminem but...I'd get killed at a gig like that...still would love to go...are tickets sold out already?

It wasn't me! · 10-06-2005 10:13PM

This one was in the Irish Times too - this summer, Ireland has more open-air gigs per head than anywhere else in the world. It's quite amazing.

Didn't change the fact that I had to go to Hurricane in Germany this weekend to see what I wanted though. That was a mental weekend.

2005 - best ever year for gigs?
