Oral Slang · 22-02-2006 09:53AM

colincarnate · 22-02-2006 09:57AM

this is a load of crap

they've latched onto them being touted as playing in italy and now download(and even this isn't 'confirmed'), wait until you see it on a website like download's one then start getting my hopes up

plus they wouldn't play with sh*tly crue, there is no way axl would.

Right so the official ad this morning was a load of crap eh?? What **** are you spouting.. I never post rumours - only post when I actually hear the official news... They said ticket prices & when they were going on sale, but missed that as I was driving!

what a gig!

super_furry · 22-02-2006 10:21AM

€65 for two well past it bands, one of who shouldn't even be going by their original name anymore? No thanks.

And Axel will turn up ****faced, four hours late.

robz150 · 22-02-2006 10:25AM

What a suprise, and I was thinking how am I gonna get to Donington:v: :v:

Bit strange to see Motley Crue supporting them thought they hated each other?

Seen Axl in London Docklands in 2002 Absolutely Brillant show

Karaoke it was not:D

I wouldn't mind checking out the new GNR if they had a good support band, it would have been worth the admission but motley crue! I think I'll keep my money until deftones come to Ireland!!!:D

Mr_Overlord · 22-02-2006 10:30AM

Wont be missing this one

colincarnate · 22-02-2006 10:33AM

mark my words - this won't happen.

it'll only be confirmed when axl does some kind of interview with kurt loader

also in my previous post i said that they had it on download's website - but from years of following gn'r i know not to trust greedy promotors!

i went to london 2001 on a promotors whim (had ryanair tix so i couldn't not go) axl came out and said he never gave any go ahead for a 2001 tour

i then went to leeds 2002, when they did actually play it

ge*bag

and you will be waiting a while for them.

However upon reflection there better be more then just the 2 bands playing as again that doesnt justify the high ticket price alone

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/?tm_link=tm_home_f1 - tickets go on sale this saturday

So the promoters have confirmed, several bloody festivals confirmed it, ticketmaster are selling the tickets on Saturday and yet you still say this wont happen - what are you...stupid?

He is right to be cautious until I'm standing in the RDS and listening to the intro to Welcome to the Jungle will I be happy, there will be a potential for this to be cancelled

colincarnate · 22-02-2006 10:51AM

i had ticketmaster tickets in my hand in london 2001 man

have you been following the whole chin dem thing for the last 8 or so years?

if you have then you'll know about the whole cancellation craic and greedy promoters, and you'll know that my 'apparant' harsh statements like : "...this won't happen..." aren't all too new or shocking.

Oh sweet jesus... the chin dem thing is about Axl's idea of the perfect album.
This is about them playing a gig here in June

Let me put it this way - last time GNR said they would play Ireland, they did play Ireland (this was back in Slane Castle for those of you too young to remember)

Anyone can say "oh this might be cancelled", but that can happen with any gig

Far too sensible to waste money on it...

NIBBS · 22-02-2006 11:08AM

this like anyother gig could of course be cancelled......but the fact that they have been confirmed for a series of dates across Europe this summer is usually a good indication that a tour has been booked..........

Saw Motley Crue in Orlando in Sept, they are very far from being past it.......they put on a really good show, far better than most bands I've seen over the last few years......
can't comment on this carnation of G'n'R but Axl was the voice of the band, so with a group of competent musicians behind him it should also be a good show.........

I know this thread will just turn into another rubbish slagging off the bands thing.......if people have no interest in seeing them fine, and don't bother bitching about it.......the more gigs like this that Ireland gets the more chance there is of bands like AC/DC returning to our shores (as long as the other gigs get good turnouts).....:)

It says RDS Arena, does this mean it'll be outdoor

i'd say it'll be outdoor yes...

NIBBS · 22-02-2006 11:49AM

definitely outdoor......

holds around 40,000.........June 9th.....if there's good weather this will be great (of course the sound will be dodgy as always in the RDS)....

LundiMardi · 22-02-2006 12:11PM

mmmm, this and metallica within 2 days of each other! That's a spicey meatballa!!

smelltheglove · 22-02-2006 12:13PM

i cant wait for this im in the same boat as the lads i went to london in 2001 because i could not get my money back and i also went ot rock am ring to see them a couple of months before but the ****ers never showed and we were left with stinkin park!! but move on to 2002 went to leeds with precautions and money set aside for the london gig if they did show up albeit a little late they did savage gig to be honest got a bit emotional during november rain lol but we flew back the next day and off we went to london the next morning with no ticket for the show the next day managed to get 2 outside and we were right at the barrier for the gig i have some class pictures from the gig and he didint kick my ass for taking them either!! roll on the rds i will be there!!

LundiMardi · 22-02-2006 12:16PM

If they don't play estranged, i'll probably cry.. I will die happy at that moment though if they did:D
