Good old rumours! Plus I read somewhere they supposed to play Finland on 14 & 15 June, so dunno whats right.

Think it was Lord Lucan who mentioned Machine Head in the Ac/D thread in Rock/Metal, but think thats only two dates cos Lamb of God are supposed to be supporting, but dont think the LA venue allows them play, so had to swap for the two days.

Furious-Red · 14-10-2008 11:40AM

if that is the true list i think i will head to the Download date

the sword are doing all the US dates. down are doing one leg as are lamb of god and then machine head do the final leg in january. machine head are filling in for lamb of god on the 2 LA shows cause they're banned from playing the LA forum.

metallica and machine head would be an awesome line-up. down are pretty decent too,wouldn't mind seeing them.

Really don't think it is. Doubt they'll do Dublin twice within such a space of time.

Lord Lucan, yeah, saw that after I posted, they do switch around alright. Ah seating ticket for myself forthis I'd say.

NIBBS · 14-10-2008 12:36PM

hmmmm
I think I've seen that list before Mushy with different dates on it.......
there's so many fake dates floating around now for big tours it's a complete pain in the ass.......

hopefully they'll also confirm a Dublin date today - but I'm happy now anyway, so they can wait a while now :-)
gonna be an expensive 2009.....:D

Yeah I saw it a while back to, its taken from ecypmet.net or something like that.

Very expensive early 2009...todays great news, maybe Tallica, then hopefully Weezer, Eagles of Death Metal too. Good times.

lord lucan · 14-10-2008 01:39PM

that list reminds me of the one earlier this year that had metallica playing the national stadium:eek::D

I saw them down on Scarlet Mist to play National Stadium in 2007...and 2008. People just hitting and hoping with dates, so nothing new here. Ah, it'll be the Point, think we can all agree on that.

No I can't agree with that :-) definitely going to be TheO2

Can we compromise? I propose 'The place beside the (Toll)Bridge'.

lord lucan · 14-10-2008 02:02PM

just some italian dates announced. they're rolling out the rest of the dates over the next ten days.

In June? That seems a bit late alright. If thats when they coming, well I prob wont be in the country.

lord lucan · 14-10-2008 02:12PM

i reckon they'll be here earlier than that but thats only a guess.

I think they'll be here before that too......they seemed pretty sure in Sept that they'd be hitting the UK end Feb start of March.......but these things change....

no compromise lads - it's TheO2 :P
I've wiped The Point from my memory and I'm looking forward to a venue with excellent sound at every gig.......;)

What would you guys like as the setlist ? I have heard from a variety of sources, and the setlist composition in Berlin and London, that we may see something quite different from recent times, with the potential for some classics to be axed from the list.

I would like

This was Just Your Life
The End of The Line
No Remorse
Master Of Puppets
The Day That Never Comes
My Friend Of Misery
Harvester Of Sorrow
All Nightmare Long
One
Cyanide
Until It Sleeps
The Memory Remains
The Unforgiven iii
Creeping Death
Call Of Kutulu
Seek and Destroy
Enter Sandman
Whiskey in The Jar
Dyers Eve
Motorbreath

lord lucan · 14-10-2008 05:57PM

they're averaging about 18 songs a night,roughly 2hrs and 15 mins. i'd expect a few of the TBA tracks to disappear eg.NEM/SBT/SANDMAN. i think you'll see a couple of 'load' tunes make an appearance and a few rarely played 'oldies' and about 5/6 new tunes from DM. they've a rehearsal in san francisco on friday,that'll be the first clue we'll get as to how the set might shape up. first show of the tour is this day week in arizona.

Het-Field · 15-10-2008 11:08AM

Just announced several dates in candanavia between March and July.

The way the dates are shaping up, I wouldnt be suprised if they played both a Dublin and Belfast gig.

peter1892 · 15-10-2008 11:21AM

Apparently they are using an 'in the round' stage for this tour. I don't know if the O2 is suitable for that kind of show, hopefully it is. Should be fine in the Odyssey though.

i'd expect a few of the TBA tracks to disappear eg.NEM/SBT/SANDMAN

I could do without hearing 'Whiskey in the jar' on this tour. Back in 2004 they had been playing 'Dyer's Eve' as an encore but dropped it when they were in Dublin to play 'Whiskey...'

JJ · 15-10-2008 01:48PM

The new Point could accomodate an "in the round" stage of sorts going by the seating chart for the upcoming WWE event:

KevIRL · 15-10-2008 07:41PM

I'm going to lock this thread for now to prevent a whole load of bans

Their gig last year was not allowed to be discussed on this forum. In all likelihood a new gig wont either.

If a new gig is confirmed with different promoters I'll reopen this thread...
