Why would you delete my posts but not the others? Give me an answer

Burty330 · 07-03-2020 9:51pm

For clarification - a mod has protected those who initiated personal attacks at me by deleting my responses as it was clear as day i embarrassed every one of them.

The false accusations directed at me still remain. . My defense - deleted.

Mr.S clearly thinks group pile on's are acceptable and the person subjected to them shouldn't be allowed to retaliate. That right there is a man of no integrity..

I can still see all the posts. No embarrassment here. That's as clear as day.

Everyone will always mention Around the Fur and White Pony as they're classics, but Diamond Eyes, Koi Ni Yokan and Gore are brilliant albums.

Koi No Yokan might be their most consistent album. Every song is immense.
I'm not overly sold on Gore, though. The opener is absolutely gorgeous, but I find the rest of the album quite difficult to get into. Would probably be my least favourite overall.

Horsebox9000 · 08-03-2020 2:42am

Anyone selling a weekend ticket need one badly as may have forgot to keep a promise. Help me out

RicketyCricket · 08-03-2020 2:58am

Burty stop being a miserable ****e in every thread you post in. Didnt realise this had sold out GA this soon. Had thought I'd pick up a ticket closer to the day.
Hopefully I'll still make it. Here's something for us all to enjoy. Except Burty of course.

I share the same opinion as yerself there Koi No Yokan such a cracking record Gore has some redeemable qualities for sure but would probably rank it bottom myself.

Has Gore replaced Saturday Night Wrist in terms of in general Saturday Night Wrist always seemed to be their album of question when it comes to their back catalogue, but I absolutely loved that!

The Liverpool band Loathe appearing on the same day draw massively from Deftones at least going by the two songs I heard from their latest release, potentially could be a decent watch but admittedly need to investigate further.

I only have Adrenaline, Around The Fur, White Pony and Diamond Eyes in my Deftones collection. If I were to add another, what would you lot choose?

thebourke · 08-03-2020 11:17pm

is there any buses from dublin to the festival on the 2 days..it doesn't say on the sunstroke website

I think Koi for me. Also love the self titled, riffs galore. Think it's worth checking them all out tbh

They didn't really do much wrong imo over the years. Solid. And great live. The vicar St show was fantastic for gore tour.

Based on Glastonbury just getting cancelled, I expect this will end up the same in a few weeks

Whilst you have the luxury of possibly being right in what you're saying, realistically the virus will probably peak in the next few weeks, batter the economy a bit and settle into being a normalized part of the flu season.

We're still only at the discussion stage of cancelling events that are occurring during the viruses spread, and in large part most are still going ahead and the Western world is continuing on its merry way. Summer fests cancelled too? 'Highly likely' is some spin. And a rather hysteria inducing one.

talk about being 100% wrong

Now what am I going to do with my refund ..........

Hardly a keyboard warrior mate, but someone coming into a thread to gloat and revel in the disappointment of others is pathetic, no matter what way you slice it. Enjoy it though, you by golly sure won the internet today!

For clarification , you were not on the forum back then so the context of the situation is beyond your understanding. You saw a chance to wag your finger at somebody and took it without knowing the full story. But snooty finger waggers who always look to put people down like you are common so whatever. Your flaw , not mine.

Quick recap so you understand - i took a lot abuse for daring to say the festival could be cancelled so my response was justified.
Go way back in this thread and you will see that I was going to this festival also.

So I don't revel in the disappointment of others , just at the posters who deserve it.

Indeed, clueless.

Not just a cunt, but now a certified ignorant cunt. No need to go to Croke Park for confirmation.

Jaysus, it's a rubbish situation for everyone and for pretty much everything and it doesn't bode well for gigs/ festivals. Is now really the time to be sniping at each other? There are no winners here

o1s1n · 18-03-2020 9:03pm

Came in here to see if there were any updates on this as I've tickets to to both days...

Am I seeing things or has this turned into pages of 'I told you so'?

Jesus Christ, nobody cares.

Well burty was right, on the internet aswell, so he is the de facto winner tbf.

Penfailed · 18-03-2020 9:29pm

Yay!

IF the pin is pulled for this for the middle of June, what are the chances of a rescheduled date later in the year? I'd say fairly slim. If it's put back until next year, what's the chances of the line up being the same?

Zero chances on both i'd say, bands touring schedules are planned well in advance and some will just not be around these parts.

I've tix to FnM in Manchester a few days before Sunstroke, 4k capacity at my old stomping ground of Manchester Apollo, sold out in 30 seconds and looks like it wont go ahead.

Gutted for you. I've only seen FNM once, in 2014 in Hyde Park in London (along with Motorhëad, Soundgarden and Black Sabbath). They were amazing. I was really looking forward to seeing them again at Sunstroke.

I know what you mean about schedules. It's really unfortunate. I hope, regardless of line up, that it's back next year.

BadTurtle · 19-03-2020 8:17am

I just want to see Deftones really. Last time they played my son was about a day old so couldnt really justify going. Thought this would be it at last. Fecks sake.

I've yet to see them. They were on my list.

melekalikimaka · 20-03-2020 4:07pm

First time the distillers have played here since i was 18, really hope it goes ahead

Furious-Red · 20-03-2020 4:13pm

Im hoping with us seemingly taking more measures than the UK to tackle the virus im hoping that will increase the chances of this going ahead :pac::pac:

Be great if it went ahead purely on how we've dealt with the virus, unfortunately they'll look at Europe as a whole, and it's pretty much all a disaster.

Can't even see FnM getting on a plane

skD13 · 23-03-2020 10:14pm

I've pretty much written this off. I'd say end of summer before even small gigs will be back on. Disappointing for sure, but it's only a gig. Hopefully the bands can keep going until touring resumes, everyone stays safe and sure, we'll give it a lash next year.

True but that was after doing nothing before taking this measure while at least we had already implemented measures. Although id say more measures are coming within a few mins

Btw im just clutching at straws that it goes ahead ha

I'll be gutted if it doesn't...not least because I bought Sepultura and The Hu albums in anticipation! ðŸ€£

Gonzo · 24-03-2020 9:06pm

was really looking forward to this, was also going to Maiden and Rammstein up north. I'd say they will all be cancelled.

I'd imagine small gigs will be introduced first later in the summer with large gatherings maybe not till next year.

BadTurtle · 24-03-2020 10:34pm

Hopefully Deftones, FNM etc. book stand alones for next year when this is cancelled.

Furious-Red · 26-03-2020 1:09pm

Download cancelled which is the same weekend as Sunstroke which shares a number of bands

I'm not giving up yet ha, although overdrive have said they are expecting an announcement within the coming days or sooner. Could be the generic festival announcement where they are monitoring the situation etc or could be the cancellation.

Singer from Rammstein is in ICU so that ones definitely a goner. Wishing him a speedy and full recovery

scudzilla · 01-04-2020 12:15am

FnM rescheduled May's Aus/NZ tour to next feb, only a matter of days before they pull the plug on the euro tour and Sunstroke.

Glad it's not going ahead, rather get all this **** with the virus sorted, then we can enjoy ourselves at a festival, just wouldn't seem right having this in 2 months time
