Yeah but who want's to be seated during a Slayer gig?

Me, considering the missus is coming with me. Also, I'm getting old!

Could only get seated tickets for Rammstein and absolutely loved it, since then I've gone seated on a few more occasion and thoroughly enjoyed each time (made sure to get good seated tickets).

Can get a beer easy too (I always get end of row tickets).

Too soon to ask what time 1st band is on stage?

Dunno but got a message from Ticketmaster today saying that doors now open at 5.30. It was previously 6.00 pm.

Might be a curfew thing or trying to ensure that Obituary haven't finished their set by the time the hordes arrive in from the pub!

Anyone experience of the bars in the 3Arena? Generally easy enough to get a drink?

Service is very quick, however the beer is woeful and expensive!

Got two (seated) together if anyone is looking. Can't make it now, gutted.

These still goin?

Wouldn't necessarily be a metal fan (my ex is a massive metal head)

But that gig f*cking rocked

The lighting, pyro, fire, background art etc were all mustard, and the sound was incredible

Could feel the heat of the pyro where i was in row G. Have to wonder how Bostoph puts up with it!!

Yep was in Row F and the heat was so intense

Tremendous live spectacle, and I thought nothing could surpass Muse and their drones in the 3 Arena two years ago

10/10

Missed Obituary due to two friends procrastinating in leaving the hotel to get there when the doors opened, arrived when Anthrax were coming on. One thing I hate about going to gigs with people is waiting around on them to get going, if you're going to spend 60 euro on a concert ticket, I think you should make the most of the experience...ugh!

Got to the front far left barrier and camped out there from Lamb Of God onwards.

During Slayer I got talking to this very pretty lady from New Zealand who was behind me, she was shouting "Tommy!" referring to Tom Araya, dragged her up to the barrier so she could get a better look and rest herself at the barrier, she went off during the show and got a pint, would have got her one myself but it would have ended up on the floor during the journey back with the action in the crowd, she got back and her pint was immaculate, none spilled, I was well impressed, she was even awesome enough to share it with me, she insisted. Talking away to her well it was more shouting "What!!", said for the craic she was pretty, she let me down gently. Still she was lovely. If she's reading, thanks for sharing your pint with me, legend

Great setlist, played everything, I got an ok video of Disciple, really wish you could put the video on here without putting it on Youtube, lots of great videos on Youtube of the show though. Really can't pick a fave song from the show, the whole thing was deadly, the scream at Angel of Death was the **** (haha) my friend took a snapchat video about 3 rows behind me of the crowd going ape**** at the start of Angel of Death, it looked terrifying in that section.

Also noticed ringing in my ears all throughout the next day especially once I got home. Noticed the NZ girl that shared the pint had ear protection, she was wise to bring it. Was also my first time at Slayer, I've been a fan for 12 years maybe now but never made it to a show and they've played here a lot during that time, gutted I might not get another opportunity. Hope they reconsider their retirement, I know they don't have Jeff or Dave anymore, but the world needs bands like that, a lot of the newer metal bands can't touch them.
