    Arrogant little posts like your really annoy me, fishing for the upvotes. If you are poking fun of my excessive writing style or something it is because I have Aspergers, I can't even express how arrogant "roll eyes" symbols are.

    I am 'poking fun' at your very narrow outlook on life.

    Well done on the upvotes, that'll keep you happy for an.hour.

    Narrow outlook? I wouldn't call anyone who has attended a Slipknot concert in their life as having a narrow outlook in life if I am to be honest, that's a confusing reply actually, I was posting about how I like London, the reason being it is has such a wide array of culture yet I have a narrow view of life? I can't be doing with people I must say, hive mind forums like this really make my misanthropy flare up. Make sure to give his reply your up votes fellows, you have to be seen to be taking sides on a forum argument, I really can't understand what goes on in the mind of "normal" humans, it makes me glad I'm riddled with the autism.

    You are right and I won't be anymore, I worry for my blood pressure so won't be reading any more comments, I can't stand places like this, people love winding you up as they know they will never meet you in person, they wouldn't be as quick with their snide comments if they met you on a country road, full of pretentious fellows this place as is reddit, full of young Dubln people who have hipster beards.

    Fairly sure I've never seen a hipster beard at a Slipknot concert, not quite the same audience.

    So getting back on track, Behemoth they really seem to love coming here in recent times, Vicar Street in February of this year (i think), King John's Castle with Amon Amarth in June, and now The Point (i'll never refer to it by it's other name) with Slipknot next January.

    judging by the Download crowd I am better off at work that evening anyway, a load of hipsters pretending to be dark edgy metal heads whilst at the same time holding their girlfriends hand.
    Is going to a Slipknot show indicative that you have an open mind, or an act undertaken by these imaginary hipsters who are haunting your porch?

    On the subject of acting the hard man behind the keyboard that you were grandstanding up above, I was at the Download gig by the way. With my girlfriend. Pretty sure I held her hand a fair few times. I'd love for you to have come up to me for an ol' chit chat about that.

    Got battered at that gig, for what it's worth. Scores of people on the walk back to the village were saying it was the biggest simultaneous crush/pit they'd ever seen during the intro ;).

    Lads that Poster has already mentioned they've Aspergers, I can't claim to be an expert but as I understand it they may have more difficulty determining whos gently slagging or having a bit of fun and might misread the tone of what you consider to be harmless joking around to be downright insulting.....

    Not preaching but lets all just try and get on as music fans!

    I have one standing ticket (hard copy) for sale due to a friend pulling out, face value, drop a PM if interested!

    Dublin is the first show of their new tour so we will have the pleasure of hearing the new setlist (they aren't the best for varying the setlist lately) first, aswell as a few first live plays off their new album, getting excited for it now little over a month to it now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    Did everyone receive their hard copy tickets? Mine never showed up.

    Seeing the first step of a tour is probably the worst one. There'll likely A) be a LOT of mistakes since they'll be testing things out and B) Not a super playlist

    It's subjective, I suppose. I've been to plenty of big shows over the years by bands whose teething problems make for an entertaining, more human show and who started out joyriding album tracks and oddities before that tour fatigue that just means they're playing a greatest hits/holding pattern setlist with no variance by the time the first leg is done with.

    Off the top of my head, The Cure and Suede are two excellent bands who know how to play everything you'd want to hear whilst filling each set with some more obscure fan favourites from night to night. It's easier with a niche/cult audience, though. Although the Cure are a pretty huge cult.

    When you get to playing stadiums, your setlist typically becomes less daring.

    Going on me own to this. Where is a good place to go for a few pints after? Staying in Christchurch direction.

    Bruxelles for some decent tunes, fibbers for volume of people.

    This is what I've found with several rock/metal bands - the first couple of shows after a new album is released include tracks which will be quickly dropped if they're found to be not gelling with the audience. They're likely to be never played live again. As a taper myself, these are the shows you want to be taping at!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,887 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Looking forward to this

    Crazy it's happening 5 years to the day of the last Dublin show with Korn supporting. I'll go in for Behemoth just to see what all the hype is about

    Is club hell the place under Tara Street? Was in there one night before Christmas and it's certainly shed its cool metal exterior, and was packed full of huns bopping to mumble rap

    Edit I stand correctedhttps://m.facebook.com/events/918305911838476


  • Registered Users Posts: 124 ✭✭speckled_park


    What time will Slipknot be on at roughly? Half 8? Working that day and driving up from Waterford so don't wanna be late for them.

    Excited!!!!

    The 3arena has great transport links and the city centre is only about a 15 min loss trip away

    The green room bar and Gibson Hotel are the closet places. Both nice places but can be very busy

    Can't speak for the car park but the luas is great. 15 mins from city centre to outside the arena


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭Jurgen The German

    Car park is grand but can be a bastard getting out of it in terms of delays. You might be better parking at Jervis ans getting the luas from there.

    If you are using the car park best thing to do is leave when you know the concert is over...don't even wait and you should be fine.

    The Luas is grand now that they've organised barriers for queuing and have people there for crowd control and only let people on in groups.

    I've personally never had an issue getting out of the car park but heard stories of a few people not being let out and having to wait. Sometimes you can get a good spot as people who aren't there for the gig will leave as you're arriving.
