I'm narrowing my eyes threateningly.

Some of us go to Sziget...

It wasn't me! · 18-07-2006 8:28pm

And yet I say teh superior festival. Anyway, anyone going to Anata on thursday? Bill and I may be there checking out Ground of Ruin, quality Irish band. Only fifteen quid either way. Also, teh second Cryptopsy gig approaches. I can't make it myself, but people should go, as they kick ass, and played Graves of Our Fathers last time, which is an experience in itself.

carlowboy · 18-07-2006 10:37pm

Yeah, clearly superior. :rolleyes:

It wasn't me! · 19-07-2006 3:05pm

Because Oxegen sounds like the best-run and friendliest of festivals, by all accounts, especially this year.

Piste · 19-07-2006 4:26pm

EP ftw tbh roffleskates lolcano. Hopefully I can go.

I dunno now, I'd have found it very hard to enjoy oxegen had I not liked any of the bands playing. ie up until 5pm on Saturday. (Damian Dempsey ffs!) Now I know that EP seems to be a very friendly and laid back weekend, the only band I'd like in it would be the Yeah Yeah Yeahs so I'd give it a miss. But of course you may like every other act there and in that case then you'd have a great weekend of it (if it doesn't rain)

I don't think it was badly run. I mean, all the acts that were meant to play, played. I didn't see any fighting from where I was. So, did you enjoy it when YOU were there?

You obviously didnt go to see The Twighlight Singers then:D

It wasn't me! · 19-07-2006 10:20pm

Didn't go, wasn't interested in anyone playing really, and I've had no love of MCD's organisational skills for a long time. They tend to hire heavy-handed amateur security, and while noone has put forward evidence of mistreatment so far, from past experience I have no problem believing some of the allegations of violence. Also, putting on a festival is about more than making sure that all bands play when they should, the crowd should not come back crying out against it. When your audience resonse can be grouped into the two categories of:
1) Fookin' dehly wha! Goh fookin smashed and bate som pore bastar wha!
and
2) Was terrified, slept in my car because scumbags (see response 1) were burning tents with people in them, robbing and fighting other campers.
you have a badly run festival. Simple as in my books. If Wacken is run like that I will eat my considerable hat.

Garret · 19-07-2006 10:31pm

all these stories are blown out of proportion.

The music was good, not much craic in campsite due to the **** weather

I had no trouble on the last night. I could see some fires in the distance

While this is still unaccceptable, christ lads, it wasnt Baghdad!

Its the people that attend it that is the problem, not always the security. I found most of them to be helpful. In two years iv never seen any of this heavy-handedness that has been talked about.

The Celtic Tiger is somewhat to blame also

LiamD · 20-07-2006 5:18pm

Well it was a bit bad, but it was easy to avoid trouble.There were some decent security guards but there were a lot of not so decent ones.If you didn't cause trouble I found you could have a good time because security were only going after the people acting up.

There have been allegations made against security and stories going round of beatings.Oxegen have removed their message forum, presumably for this reason.It wasn't a bad time at all, really the opposite except for some small things.

It wasn't me! · 20-07-2006 5:47pm

Tool! Tool Are Coming! Batten The Mother****ing Hatches! Tool Are Playing Here! \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/

The reason they removed is that people were talking bull**** (claiming to be Event Security), for a joke like and the Mirror fell for it and printed an article that was based on lies.

carlowboy · 22-07-2006 10:20am

Got my Muse ticket yesterday..........Can't wait.

Undergod · 22-07-2006 9:20pm

Tool. Superseded only by the Unholy Alliance. I'll be at either of the above, or both, thank you very much, and hold the mayonnaise.

smile.

Jim_Are_Great · 28-07-2006 11:20pm

I have two words for everyone:

Tool
TOOL

Tool, as well, sorry.

carlowboy · 05-08-2006 12:25pm

THE KOOKS!!!!!!!

29th November. The most popular band in Engineering, 2006.

meeka · 07-08-2006 7:38pm

Yay. going to tool =]

It wasn't me! · 14-08-2006 5:53pm

Who has standing tickets for Tool? They appear to be sold out, and as I now intend getting a seated ticket, who has standing, so I could borrow a stub when they're in?

meeka · 15-08-2006 8:51pm

I have a standing ticket.. but it was weird, on the ticketmaster site when you search for standing, it appears to be sold out, but if you choose "best available" it comes up with a standing ticket. or it did for me, at least

Acid_Violet · 26-08-2006 9:28pm

Wolfmother, on the sixth of November anyone? I know Darren and Tiernan are going already, but I forget who else. Tickets are only 25.15.

Love · 18-09-2006 10:25am

Opeth, Monday the 13th of November, Vicar Street, doors open 19:00, show starts 19:30, Paradise Lost supporting, €33.50.

I want to go, dunno if I can yet or not. Anyone else?

Undergod · 19-09-2006 7:51pm

Going. As in Opeth.

Opeth!

Madeleine · 19-09-2006 8:53pm

Dragonforce in the Ambassador?

Piste · 20-09-2006 4:02pm

I'm tempted...but I am skint. Gotte get me my Opeth ticket first then see if I have money for other concerts, there are so many i want to go to.

JenLorigan · 21-09-2006 10:34pm

I keep forgetting to ask about Opeth/get Opeth ticket.

This will end with me standing outside Vicar Street on the thirteenth looking forlorn.

It wasn't me! · 22-09-2006 7:49pm

go early and meet the guys again.

I wanna go and be ridiculously fangirly. Yay for them playing here! This time I have no Junior Cert the day after ^_^

meeka · 23-09-2006 10:13pm

Since there is a slight chance I won't be able to go to Tool now (I have a ticket, but stupid school play starts the following day, I'd be missing the dress rehearsal, which is bad if I get a main part) I maaay be going to Opeth =]

Piste · 24-09-2006 2:12pm

Yay! Super happy fun Meeka time!

Undergod · 29-09-2006 5:27pm

I lost my Opeth ticket for ten seconds there... but I have it!

Piste · 29-09-2006 11:00pm

I'll hopefully be getting my ticket tomorrow. I also really wanna see a load of other bands this autumn but they're all playing in and around the same time and I havenae the money to go see them all.

Chowburger · 01-10-2006 2:41pm

Anyone else going to the Flaming Lips next month?

elephamt king · 01-10-2006 8:39pm

Flaming LIps next month?

[edit: MCD gigs cannot be mentioned on boards.ie due to ongoing legal proceedings]

Acid_Violet · 27-10-2006 8:51pm

Wolfmother on the sixth? Anyone? Again?

carlowboy · 02-11-2006 12:17am

I shall also be going to a certain gig on the 3rd *cough* muse. MCR are supporting though

Piste · 03-11-2006 12:06am

I'm going to A Gig tomorrow which I am looking forward to a lot. It was rumoured that a certain Emo band would be supporting, but my friend who is a huge fan of said Emo band tells me this is not true.

carlowboy · 04-11-2006 10:55am

And it wasn't true! Although the support band were still crap.

Love · 07-11-2006 1:58am

I cannae Opeth.

JenLorigan · 12-11-2006 11:43pm

No Opeth for Jen also.

Sad.

Piste · 14-11-2006 10:46pm

Liz went to Opeth. Liz enjoyed Opeth very much.

True story.

Acid_Violet · 19-11-2006 5:40pm

Dragonforce was good. I had a great time and got the drumstick! Support band were just ridiculous......

carlowboy · 16-03-2007 5:13pm

Marlay Park: Foo Fighters on sale today. Nine Inch Nails were going to support but have cancelled
