'Not really a metal head at all (although I probably know about 70% of what they'll play), but a few friends of mine from Galway are heading along to Marley tomorrow, so I'm thinking of popping along. Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get to Rathfarnham from Dun Laoghaire?
Thanks.
P.S. I probably won't be heading over 'til half 6 or so - is there a bus I can get from town?0 -

A7X will be on while the adults and people with good taste in music go to get more beer, go to toilets or just place their hands over there ears during their set.

Ha, are they really that bad?! Have never heard them before. Shame they can't swap them with Alice in Chains and I could just turn up at 7 and be good.0 -

Ugh! harsh!
I still love A7X no matter what all you haters say. Though their music has undoubtedly changed theyre still one of the best live bands there is. Dunno why everyone is so anti-A7X... but i suppose you're gonna tell me!
*waits for shouting*

I would have said from Nutgrove you're still looking at a stroll the guts of about 20 mins or so. Obviously do-able, but just so you know. Bur from seeing the above you'd be best off getting off at the Ballinteer Shopping Centre I'd say...
Thanks very much Gearoid. Gentleman. 0 -

Back from the gig there about a hour ago. Arrived just as Glyder were over so didnt get to see them. Mastodon were up next and really enjoyed them even though there sound was'nt that good from where i was. AIC were good but wasnt really paying much attention so i went to get a drink which was €6 for a heineken or Coors which i thought was a bit to much for a watered down drink (but ended up drinking about 5 of them ) A7X were up next and the first song was crap due to the sound but eventually got better and the young lad singing Walk was pretty good . Metallica were brilliant , it was my first time seeing them and they were very good really enjoyed them. Overall enjoyable gig no problems 0

quietest crowd (in terms of insaneness
) that i have ever seen at a metallica concert, well at least they were in our section which was over to the right of the stage just beyond the barrier. people were singing along but barely any moshing or jumping or crowd surfing (weird)
just got the back end of AIC, new singer is really good, no interest in Avenged, their songs sounded all so similiar and waay to long, the guy getting up on stage to sing panteras "walk" was a nice touch though
metallica came on stage at approx 9.05pm (no long way to the top intro before ectasy though), and played till 11.09pm, thought the sound in our section for opener "blackened" was poor, sound improved as night went on
decent setlist, four new songs; Broken, Beat And Scarred, nightmare, day that never comes and Cyanide, motorbreath and S+D from kill em all, creeping death and fight fire (from RTL), Puppets, Harvester, One and Blackened from justice, sad, nothing and sandman from black album, covers of whiskey, turn the page and killing time (ray haller from sweet savage guesting on vocals)
i loled at james nearly tripping when he got down next to the crowd during seek and destroy, overall metallica were good, nice to hear new songs on their set, was hoping to hear whiplash as they had played it a few times recently in mainland europe but alas 0 -

Inside the pit was brilliant though:D had a great time in there i did jsut a few rows from centre stage.rossie1977 wrote: »quietest crowd (in terms of insaneness) that i have ever seen at a metallica concert, well at least they were in our section which was over to the right of the stage just beyond the barrier. people were singing along but barely any moshing or jumping or crowd surfing (weird)
to be quite honest i thought that bit was a massive set up, the guy was called Russel, he "performed" a little too well for me to believe it, had a decent enough voice too...no interest in Avenged, their songs sounded all so similiar and waay to long, the guy getting up on stage to sing panteras "walk" was a nice touch thoughdecent setlist, four new songs; Broken, Beat And Scarred, nightmare, day that never comes and Cyanide, motorbreath and S+D from kill em all, creeping death and fight fire (from RTL), Puppets, Harvester, One and Blackened from justice, sad, nothing and sandman from black album, covers of whiskey, turn the page and killing time (ray haller from sweet savage guesting on vocals)

Leaving the pit at 11:15 it looked like the main area outside got hit by a litter bomb:PHi ,heading to fatboy today, can I ask what sort of condition the park was in at the concerts end?, was their any mud? should I bring my wellies? I know it didn't rain so I'm hoping for no slopping around
Was decent to be fair, but the way we had to wait soooooo long to get in after queueing since 8am for a pit pass was insane, they let in 5 groups during stages of the morning then left so many of us standing there for 3 hours until they opened the gates 20 mins late too! But the day was worth it in the end:DWhat a great gig last night.
First of all i gotta say Fair Fcuks to MCD, they've had a lot of slaggin off recently but yesterdays organisation was pretty good, from sign posts to the gig, car parking, the queues etc, Nice one.
so you were one of the few James was talking about holding their hands up after seeing them 10 times hehe;)Last night was the 23rd time i've seen Metallica, over the past 3/4 years there live shows seem to have been a bit stale, definatley needed some new material injecting into them.
Fight Fire was savage, so was All Nightmare Long...man i love that song:D Master, One and Creeping Death i really really liked too (especially the "die" chant:)) Killing Time was a great cover song to do with a v good singer to cover it \o/A few oldies (Harverster & Fight Fire) in the set which i haven't heard live in a long time, also Turn the Page was a nice addition.
The new stuff is fcukin awesome live, especially Nightmare which is just sick.
All in all much better than last years Marlay Gig, weather was great, after 2 weeks of rain i was expectin the worst.
Have to say it was my first, but definately not my last Metallica gig...brilliant day in the end.0 -
Fifth time seeing them and was interesting. Having never heard Fight Fire, Turn The Page, Motorbreath, Killing Time and all the DM songs bar Cyanide live I was glad to hear some new live additions. That being said, everything else from the set was a bit stale to me. Not knocking them at all but just think that they may want to mix up the show a bit. The variations to song locations on the set (One mid set, Whiskey third track etc.) really made a difference and something more of a shake up to the general show might help things cause at the moment they're just repeating the same gig each year bar a few new set additions. Great gig though, not knocking it, just suggesting!

I must say, that was an absolutely amazing gig!
I got there with a few friends shortly after 11am. Never been to Marlay Park before so when I saw the size and beauty of the park itself, I was amazed! We spent about 30mins trying to find the entrance and when we finally did we found a cue. :P
The cue was almost as much fun as the concert itself. Being the origin of a load of random chants (including Spongebob, who likes short shorts, etc) and starting singing Bohemian Rhapsody and getting a load of guys to finish it. It was epic! I lost a good bit of my voice before I even got in! Lmao.
When they finally started letting people in all you could hear was the roar of cheers. I was lucky enough to not only get the ticket for free, but to get a pit pass! It was unfortunate though, one of the first things I saw when I got in was paramedics helping a guy who had an epileptic fit. If you're reading this, I hope you're alright and you got to see everything you wanted to last night.
Anyway, I went to get something to eat (10 inch pizza for 6euro, not too bad) and got myself an AIC tour t-shirt (I made sure Lars didn't get a cent of my money. ^_^) and then went to the pit. Glyder were pretty good. Not many were up at the front for them.
First time I had heard Mastodon really, and I have to say, I'm not impressed at all. It just sounded like 1 really long song. Longer than the other bands seemed to have! (did they get a longer set or something?).
It wasn't till now that my interests were up. I HAD to get as close as I could for AIC. I managed to get 2 people behind the front barrier at the very center of the stage where the lead mic/front speakers were. I seemed to be the only one going absolutely crazy for them! JERRY POINTED AT ME!! Wish they had longer on though.. And they better come back next year!
I had seen A7X back in February 2008 so I was expecting the intro. I couldn't help but lol a bit as I saw things being thrown at them; I hadn't seen that for any of the other bands. But I was very happy they played 2 songs from the Waking the Fallen album! And the bit with Walk was funny! Syn was just like "f*ck no!". My friend was killing himself afterwards as he was right next to that Russle kid and was wearing a Pantera t-shirt! Their set seemed very short though.
That hour up to Metallica was very sore. My legs were already killing me from people kneeing me at the back of my knees (Bloody sore) and I could barely more as I had been standing since 11am and it was 8pm at that stage. >_<
When they finally came on I was more crushed than ever! I could barely move; no one around me was. After a few songs (I can't remember how many, I know it was after whisky) I decided to get the hell out of there. I decided it was much more fun to mosh till you die than not being able to move at all (Irony, I know). I managed to run into 2 of my friends there too so it was more fun! Unfortunately, the huge circle pit where we were had an *sshat in it too. There was one guy with rings on each finger and was actually going to punch people; he cliped me on the arm and got a guy in the face. FINALLY the security guards threw him out and there was cheers all around! We could finally enjoy moshing without having our heads punched in. The pits for Master and fight fire were probably some of the deadlyist and most fun! The jets of fire was an amazing addition too!
Oh, and around then the ring guy was back in and it looked like someone had f*cked up his nose pretty badly as there was blood all over his face and he was holding his nose. Got what he deserved at least.
To sum it all up, quite a great concert! I was hoping for a freebird cover though.. :P
Also, If anyone found a black zipper Rise Against hoody in the pit area, please let me know!! I had put it in a friend's bag and it wasn't there at the end of the night when I really wanted it...
