Possibly their last tour, anyone whose ever seen this group live in concert will know what an epic show they put on!

I'm going to have a problem with getting tickets though, tickets go on sale Wednesday morning coming, wife working on Wednesday morning coming, and that means I'll have to do the school run :mad:

Anyone managing to get more than they need (tickets) I keep me in mind, I'll pay you their value, same day!

Anyone else intending on going?

Garth Brooks wha???

The Backwards Man · 13-12-2014 11:37AM

School run in July? What school do your kids go to, Eton?

Can't see this one being as big as the last last ever tour though.

Specialun · 13-12-2014 11:37AM

I much prefer one direction

One of the most overrated bands of all time.

No, that's just underrated.

Your loss

Certainly doesn't match my musical taste, but whatever.

Or, you know, some people might like the opportunity to see them who haven't had the chance before.

What a load of rubbish. At least you're one less person looking for a ticket anyway. Thanks.

I went to see them in Punchestown for the first time in 2009, excellent show. Getting out of the car park afterwards was a nightmare though.

Pay no heed, for all intents and purposes musical evolution did end in 1989. Nowadays it's just like the post above yours, a rehash of the same oul pish

nxbyveromdwjpg · 13-12-2014 12:23PM

Not the biggest fan in the world but definitely gonna go for the craic.

I mean that stage set alone is worth it :pac:

I certainly disagree. Electronic music was far more innovative than rock music in the last 25 years.

Also, the irony of talking about musical evolution in a thread about a band who have released the exact same album for well over 30 years now.

You do know that electronic music was pioneered in the 19th century? And if your talking dance or acid house or whatever, mid to late 80s. Nothing has been done in the music world in the last twenty five years that hasn't been done before, so find another stick to beat the band with.

Coming from the mod of the Indie forum that post isn't surprising.

If a person likes music that ranges from AB/CD to Queen shouldnt that be a very very broad taste in music?

I think you misunderstand the word evolution. Pick any decade in music, there's always been musical idea that have been done before, there's always been new idea built on top of them. The 90's and 00's were no exception. For example, name an artist that sounded like Burial or Flying Lotus in 1989?

Who?

It wouldn't surprise me to learn you don't play any instruments yourself, yet you deem yourself an authority on all things music.

It's usually people like that who post this kind of b0llox.

I never claimed anything. Do I have to be a film maker to have a critical opinion on films?

No. Of course not.

It's just, the putting down of other music, the 'music snob' tone of your initial post.

You see it all the time with fans of music in particular.

bodhrandude · 13-12-2014 12:49PM

Saw Ac/Dc in 1982 during the For those about to Rock tour and then two years later when they headlined Castle Donnington festival, it was great craic, although I wished I went to see them with Bonn Scott in 78, 79 and 1980, they were the true Ac/Dc years. When they chose Brian Johnson as the singer in 1981 I was surprised that the Nazareth singer Dan McCafferty wasn't a contender as he has a stronger voice than Johnson.

The term 'music snob' is a meaningless word. People express their opinions on what they like and what they don't like all the time. Imagine what boards.ie would be like if they didn't?

So, on a thread about an AC/DC gig, you thought it would be constructive to come in an slate their fans and their music?

Interesting.

Links234 · 13-12-2014 01:05PM

Wouldn't be interested in seeing them myself, and at that price for tickets, they're taking the piss, but I can certainly see the appeal. Hell, I went to see Kiss when they played in the O2 and they're hardly the worlds most innovative band, I hadn't been much of a fan either, but holy crap did they put on an incredible show!

No need to diss others tastes, really.

hynesie08 · 13-12-2014 01:05PM

Jaysus those croke park residents won't be happy about this... A ROCK AND/OR ROLL BAND.

It's where???

Oh never mind.

I don't get them. With a lot of music I don't like sorta see how others might like it but whenever I hear anything by AC/DC I just feel like throwing up an ironic devil-horns gesture and bursting out laughing. I'm sure back in the 80s they might have sounded fresh but music has moved on a lot since then and and they just sound anachronistic. It's music from a different time and I think it's aged horribly. Given their persistent , enormous popularity there are obviously a lot of people who think otherwise, though like you say these often seem to be sort who never grew out of that teenage "music died in the 80s" phase.

The UK electronic music scene has been continuously evolving since it kicked off in the 80s. Jungle, drum,n, bass, garage, 2-step garage, grime, dubstep, that whole nebulous movement that was referred to as post-dubstep. There has been no end to the innovation in electronic music over the last 25 years, it's been in a constant state of flux. Like someone said, what artists from the 1980s or prior sounded like Burial? Or even prior to the 2000s?

It's a synthesiser and a drum machine, and those have been around for decades.

And AC/DC is guitar, bass and drums, and those have been around longer. Your point? It's not the instruments that are used, it's about the creativity of the musicians, it's the music they make with their tools that's important.

So you have to completely change the modality of how music is produced in order to innovate?

That's like saying there was no innovation in art from the Renaissance period to the 20th century because they were still using paints and canvas.
