Literally going to take off into space during this.

rok · 26-09-2014 10:08AM

Myself and a couple of friends got 2 standing tickets each. What time will the Manics be on stage, ticket says 7pm, or is that just doors open at 7pm?

Wouldn't worry about that until closer to the date they will release stage times then

savemejebus · 26-09-2014 10:15AM

Doors at 7 though there will probably be people queuing well before that to get into the pit section.

The Wild Bunch · 26-09-2014 11:06AM

How cool would it be if we had an old skool support?

King Adora or My Vitriol would be CLASS

ripperman · 26-09-2014 11:08AM

Got 2 standing this morning! Is there any idea how fast it sold out as they seemed to just vanish within minutes?

mosi · 26-09-2014 11:09AM

When I tried to buy at 9.02, the standing were all gone...thankfully, my friend managed to get two standing. I can't wait, it's going to be unbelieveable.

MrStuffins · 26-09-2014 11:24AM

I set an alarm to remind me that these were going on sale because i'd be in full "work mode". Of course, the alarm never went off!

I managed to get one seated ticket! F*ck it, i'll go on my own

I'm going on my own too, no one else wanted to go so I also said - F*ck it! Will be too good to miss

The Wild Bunch · 26-09-2014 11:36AM

Lads and lasses we should arrange a pre gig sesh - im going with my missus but would love to pre gargle with fellow Manics fans

MrStuffins · 26-09-2014 11:38AM

Since i'm going on my own, i'd love nothing better than a pre-gig sesh ha!

magicmushroom · 26-09-2014 12:03PM

Ah that's a great idea! I'd love that - this is going to be a great night

EyesClosed · 26-09-2014 12:09PM

There was talk of the foggy dew, I'd be up for that, great spot

EyesClosed · 26-09-2014 12:13PM

I'd love to hear this, one of my all time favorite covers, its one of those rare covers that blows the original away

Stretchryan · 26-09-2014 12:13PM

Yeah myself and few friends will be in the foggy dew before the gig for pints.

The Wild Bunch · 26-09-2014 12:18PM

Foggy will probably be packed -Temple Bar on a Saturday night is asking for trouble!

Ha ha, yeah that happened a bit at festivals i think, heard some brutal examples of it before.

This vid is probably more appropriate for a Holy Bible gig thread though

Aint lived in Dublin for ten years so only really remember that boozer near the venue. Is there anywhere close by albeit ten minutes walk with decent tunes and good booze. Reckon town will be manic anyway with so close to Xmas and company parties and the like on.

savemejebus · 26-09-2014 12:37PM

not sure about music but the Porter House has great booze...pint of plain is delish

26-09-2014 12:40PM

Saw them in the Olympia around this time 12 months ago. Myself and my childhood best friend. We are 27 now so big 90’s kids, all those childhood memories of sunny days and the radio blaring, one of the best nights of my life seeing them.

We were stuck in the seating area but it was still brilliant. Looking forward to more of the same !

2nd Holy Bible tour gig sorted.
First one was awesome, Richey, Louise Wener,camouflage, bruises, lost watch.

This is my dilemma, as a teenager, after Richey went I was firmly in the belief they should have called it a day. I bought Everything Must Go grudgingly as Richey was credited on 4 or 5 tracks. After that it was never the same for me and I never really listened to any of the albums since.

I had plenty of opportunities to see them since but turned them down, but this being the Holy Bible I couldn't pass it up. Now I'd be delighted if the encore consists only of tracks from Generation Terrorists & Gold Against the Soul and the likes of New Art Riot/Suicide is Painless/Motown Junk.

Then again maybe I'm taking it too seriously. After all they also promised they were going to pack it in after making their first album! And I've stopped writing 4REAL in permanent pen (what, I was afraid of blood:D) on my arm too!

1994 was a fair while ago. Theyre a totally different band and have probably forgotten how to play most of those era songs.

Im not expecting Richey era gig, im expecting a fantastically tight band play their interpretation of one of the most intense albums ever mass marketed.

Itll still be a special one tho.

If they perform this I might actually wet myself. It's my favourite and gives me tingles.

Apologies in advance to the people in seats B2 and B4...

I hope you didn't miss out on Journal for Plague Lovers. If you did go get it toot sweet, it is absolutely amazing.

MisterAnarchy · 26-09-2014 09:42PM

Great band live but my only complaint is that their gigs are far too short.
Should be playing at least 2 hours plus.

Nellymouzer · 26-09-2014 10:27PM

Damn balls mc ****! Had no idea this was coming up! anyone selling a ticket let me know. Holy Bible is my favourite album EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
