The Second Coming - Garth on his way, again, possibly, 2017

Patser

So that flawless bastion of journalism, The Sun, via an unnamed source of course is suggesting that Garth Brooks is looking at Croke Park again.

His motivation is apparently the success of Bruce Springsteen over the weekend, especially Endas Dancing Taoiseach Routine which has apparently shown that Official Ireland that ruined his 2015 efforts is now cool and hip with music again.

The fact the Croker is free and licence free for 3 concerts next year, with 240,000 tickets worth approximately €30 million may have some part in the inspiration.

If he's really interested in copying Bruce he should look at Springsteen's tour of Ireland a few years ago, a few nights in Croker, a few in Kilkenny, a few in Killarney, he might as well settle down in Monaghan/Cavan region given their taste.

Mods across AH are stocking up on Rennies and ban hammers.

I would love to get free tickets, I'd get a big stetson and go and get hammered - I mean hammered off my tits, and try and ruin it for as much fans as I could - like the Garth crowd were doing at the Boss last weekend.

Were they wearing stetsons at the Bruce Springsteen concert last week? Or how did you tell who was a Garth fan out for a day out?

If the GAA and promoters don't try and fcuk over the residents and local authority again with extra gigs over the agreed limit, I don't see the problem.

I don't see the problem with having more. They changed the concert licensing. They now have discussions with the relative people involved (residents, council, etc) before they sell tickets for more concerts.

I don't see how they will try and fcuk over the residents the next time.

Then why didn't they have a 3rd Ed Sheeran gig last year? Or a 3rd Bruce Springsteen gig this year? Since both would have sold out?

Hopefully we will see more of these :pac:

Because the residents are crying little babies.

But sure they've changed the license laws so what can they do?

They said in some news piece yesterday that they will object to anything more than three.

Sour bunch they are.

Any actual fan that goes to see him now, after he couldn't be bothered his arse playing the 3 concerts a couple of years ago are fools.

If I was a fan, he wouldn't be getting my money this time after fcuking over his fans!

I'm an "actual fan" and I will gladly be handing over my very hard earned money to see him as he is my favourite musician ever.

I also supported his decision to cancel (as he didn't want to disappoint half of the fans), it wasn't becuase he couldn't be bothered

Guess this makes me a fool as per your post......

PS I had tickets to every single night last time... was expensive but you know what they say... a fool and their money etc etc

I'll gladly endure this ****e again if it means we get half the hilarious meltdowns we got last time. Maybe that group should march up O'Connell Street again.

Oh man, that was quality. Stensons, cowboy boots and homemade banners decrying the whole situation. Damn near perfect.

Oh god, I'm having flashbacks from the last time. Didn't he cancel every concert because he didn't want to do 2 in one day? And his excuse was he didn't want to disappoint them? It would be like "Santa" can't get the bike a kid wanted for Christmas, so instead of getting a similar one, the kid gets zero presents at all.

I feel sorry for the mods at moments like this.

Any chance of getting a ban on garth brooks threads in AH if this does happen? Lets keep this cancer confined to gigs and events.

You clearly didn't have a meltdown having your concerts cancelled as well.

Were you going for the craic and fcuk up a good time for the genuine fans? Similar to what cowboy builder mentioned about all the garth fans at the Bruce concert, just there to fcuk it up. Are you one of these people? Who gets totally p!ssed off their heads?

No I didn't, just like I don't when other gigs get rescheduled/cancelled cause at the end of the day it's just a gig. I go to dozens of them a year so it doesn't bother me.

No, I don't drink at gigs as a general rule, think I've been tipsy or above at maybe 5/6 gigs of the 300+ I've been to.

How did you feel when Garth cancelled?

Just a gig for you like the other 300 you've been to. Other people are genuine fans. I'm glad you find it funny that it was cancelled for those genuine fans.

The level of hysteria.

Wouldn't call you a fan of Garth Brooks. You wanted those gigs cancelled after having tickets to two nights. You're some fan having tickets for two nights but then turned around and wanted them cancelled.

That's not a fan. That's being a hypocrite.

Last time on boards all the hysteria seemed to come from the anti-Gareth brigade. There was only two posters who seemed to want the concerts to go ahead, everyone else was

To be fair, that's not my recollection of it. I see some of the same posters here who behaved back then as though their very lives depended on seeing Brooks, not just once but several times. To each their own.

I watched a report on the evangelical zealousness of the Irish Brooks fans, complete fan interviews with subtitles, on a syndicated news programme in the US at the time. That kind of hysteria is hard to match, short of a different kind of second coming.

I'd prob go if he does come back. I'd order online like the last time, I would not be the person too que outside the local Ticketmaster for days and have to endure hearing all the bull****

It was quite the hysteria last time and laughable when I think about it, Garth made a tit of himself during the famous press conference a few days after 2 of the 5 were denied (it's on YouTube somewhere)

Remember when someone on here claimed that there would never be a high profile gig in Ireland again after Garth threw his toys away?
