But dublin dublin, sure i dont want to pay 54 yoyo to go to dublin, but then again it is GNR. Ah feck it. Why couldnt they play another gig in millstreet maybe.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Will on February 22, 2006, 09:57:58 AM I may try to go to this one, even though I'm not a big fan of the Crue.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: elevendayempire on February 22, 2006, 10:51:03 AM Oh, I'm so going to this! Pop over on the ferry and stay with the family... much cheaper than shelling out for bloody Donnington... :)
SG Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: grabaraxl on February 22, 2006, 11:08:06 AM i'm definitly going to this one! and probably head to donnington on sunday as well.
i'm also expecting some spain dates between rio and gods of metal. madrid and barcelona at least. maybe paris as well since it's a week between both announced dates. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Will on February 22, 2006, 11:29:55 AM Rumor has it that GN'R would play in Paris as a stand alone date in an arena (Bercy probably) in July, but I don't really believe it.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on February 22, 2006, 12:24:55 PM I get back from my holiday at 7 that night, does any1 know what time the concert will start and roughly when GNR will hit the stage (if they turn up at all!!) I presume GNR are headlining it and will come on after the crue.. Now all i have to hope is that my flight doesnt get delayed! iv been at this twice when metallica played, itl be about 9 when they come on assuming they play for about 2 and a haf hrs, metallica always finished betwen 11-11:30 as this is right in the midle of the city Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on February 22, 2006, 12:59:26 PM I only live 15 mins from the RDS...
Im gonna see can I get a different flight, I wanna be in line so I can get up 2 the front of the stage They were wafflin about the concert on 2fm earlier. Who are playing the ads on radio and tv? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on February 22, 2006, 01:15:58 PM i heard the add on 2fm
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on February 22, 2006, 01:57:30 PM turn on 2fm, theyre talkin bout it on dave fanning
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on February 22, 2006, 02:10:51 PM yeah im listening now
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 22, 2006, 04:59:20 PM what did dave have to say?
and yea, they'll have to be off by at least 12, if not sooner given the vacitinity surrounding the rds. we were doubting earlier their ability to sell out the rds, but the buzz its generating makes me think theyre going to pull in a substantial crowd. good times. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on February 22, 2006, 05:46:46 PM dave fanning gave me the impression that he was aware the album was in the works for the last few years but he didnt know any of the band members etc...He thought Buckethead was dead!
Some lad rang in sayin how the night would be more about the crue than gnr.. so typically the headliner will hit the stage at 9 to 9-30? Is this concert indoors or outdoors?? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on February 22, 2006, 06:16:48 PM im pretty sure its outdoors if its part of download
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Will on February 22, 2006, 07:47:25 PM Not part of Download, but apparently RDS is a track field so likely outdoors... :)
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on February 22, 2006, 08:02:55 PM its summertime aswell, im sure we could do with the extra air outside with all the madness that will be goin on!!
How early do ya think u wud have to be at the gates to get right up at the stage?? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 22, 2006, 08:08:42 PM How early do ya think u wud have to be at the gates to get right up at the stage?? probably. there is probably gonna be a divide about about a thousand people or so. that seems to be the norm for concerts in the freestate. which is a shame cause there is no way in hell im sitting through motely crue. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on February 23, 2006, 03:55:55 AM Not part of Download, but apparently RDS is a track field so likely outdoors... :) its advertised as download Ireland, its a showjumping ground and rugby pithch, thing is theres an indoor arena too, but im sure its the outdoor one Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: jazjme on February 23, 2006, 04:11:31 AM You shoco, you are gonna have a fuckin blasrt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

I stand corrected. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: mongis on February 23, 2006, 05:05:30 AM i'm going fram norway for this! :)
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: dub05 on February 23, 2006, 12:49:48 PM It's an outdoor gig folks & you would want to be in the q at about 9am (gates open at 6pm )to have any chance of getting near the front.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Nightfall on February 23, 2006, 01:37:01 PM well, since gn'r isn't going to play in Holland the day after, i'm changing my trip and already arrive the day before...so i will be there at 9 ;)
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Gunnerguy on February 23, 2006, 02:35:55 PM Not part of Download, but apparently RDS is a track field so likely outdoors... :) yeah is defo gonna be outdoors both metallica and iron maiden played outdoors .... can't believ theire coming!! dave fanning is only a wanker anyway wouldn't listen to anything he farts on about Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Gunnerguy on February 23, 2006, 02:41:08 PM i reckon they'll sell it out they have to be off stage at half eleven in the RDS as far as I know (fecking residents) so guess they'll prolly come on around half 9 or so
but are they really gonna try to tour yet again without releasing the album?? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 23, 2006, 03:56:11 PM anyone queuing up for tickets as early as friday night?

I dont know?? its hard to say, they obviously expect it to sell out otherwise they wouldnt have booked the show.. I'd say the standing tics will be sold in the 1st day Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on February 23, 2006, 10:27:06 PM is there a price on these tickets yet.are they playin in the main hall or outside.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Nightfall on February 24, 2006, 09:33:22 AM I was just checking the ticketmaster.ie site and found this mentioned at the GN'R show:
Look For Guns N' Roses Tickets Additional Information: :: Under 18's Must Be Accompanied by Person 21+ - ID Will Be Required!! :: :: Media Partners - 2FM / Evening Herald / Irish Independent / Cool FM :: not that this will be a problem for me...but it might be for others.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on February 24, 2006, 11:39:01 AM Irish concert promoters Aiken Promotions have confirmed that M?TLEY CR?E will **NOT** be supporting GUNS N' ROSES on June 9 at the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland, despite previous reports to the contrary. "I'm afraid the radio ads will still have M?TLEY CR?E as playing as they were produced before they had decided to cancel the date," reads a new e-mail message sent out by an Aiken representative. "There are new radio ads being produced that will not have M?TLEY CR?E included. As I hope you can appreciate we had just found out yesterday evening so promotion is still in the process. Sorry for any confusion caused."

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on February 24, 2006, 12:48:47 PM anybody know how much the ferrie crossing from holyhead to ireland is or perhaps a flight from liverpool to dublin airport.im trying to find the cheapest way of getting there.either way,ill be going on the morning of the 9th and coming back on the mornin of the 10th.proberbly get my head down in the ferrie port or airport for a couple of hours.anyone know if this is safe.how muck is a b+b in dublin.soz about all the questions but im trying to gather all the info i can.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on February 24, 2006, 12:54:20 PM So who will support them now?? or will they even have a support act?
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 24, 2006, 01:03:15 PM whoever is second headliner on the sunday at download england. probably prodigy in a re-run of leeds 2002.
if it was prodigy, it'd boost ticket sales. shockingly enough, motely crues name had actually got people excited and heading to the show. a lot of those idiots (thankfully) wont be going now. though motely crue idiots/fans are less offensive than prodigy fans. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Jamie on February 24, 2006, 01:04:33 PM Here how will I get in to this?! I'll either have to borrow a friend's ID or get some randomer to bring me in, like ask some guy at the gate or something.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Rockin' Rose on February 24, 2006, 01:20:24 PM I'll be going to Download and because of flights I'm going to see them in Dublin first (if I can get a ticket) so I can accompany people if needed.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Graciela on February 24, 2006, 04:46:36 PM It's gonna be a busy weekend... We are flying from London to Dublin at 6:30 am on friday, go to the gig, flying back at 6:30 on saturday, so no sleep at all. Arrive in London, get some sleep and head for Donnington sunday early in the morning...
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 24, 2006, 06:13:42 PM fuckin hell. 6.30 in the morning the flight to england from dublin airport... thats asking a lot.
but it doesnt look like my mates are heading to donnington :( i was hoping for something around 10am, arriving to donnington late afternoon. but i probably was thinking ideally. heading out tomorrow morning at half 6 to be up to a normally quite quiet ticketmaster for around 7ish with various others manning online and telephones. im perhaps being over cautious... but then there is no such thing on matters as important as this. i cannot wait to have one of these tickets on my possession.

@Nightfall: sorry for having your name wrong :-[ and thanks for the advice! See you in Ireland! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Rockin' Rose on February 25, 2006, 06:29:35 AM Ordered my ticket (standing area) and booked a hostel, got a pretty good deal at Dublin City University, single room with private facilities for 33.50 ?
Thanks mom for lending visa :-* Can't wait for the day to come, see you all there! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 25, 2006, 08:10:56 AM ah! got to bangor to look for their ticketmaster at around 7:50 and the shop wasnt there!
so i had to go up to belfast and ticketmaster there. got there around half 8, 20 to nine. queue of around 18 or so people in front of me, which i was surprised at, but glad it wasnt a bigger surprise. anyway, got 6 standing and the two i had spare are already gone. i mean, if there were queues like the one in belfast (which escalated the closer it got to 90 with around 50+) it looks like it'll be a big crowd. and it could come close to selling out if this momentum keeps up, either with a good opener or a single/album... Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gally on February 25, 2006, 08:24:12 AM 2fm are pushing it pretty hard, there seems to be an ad on anytime i have it on,
they need to announce the line up, looks like it was a bit rushed with the motley, then no motley, snow patrol or anything like that would pull 10-15k to the concert, so you never knwo who they would sign up it depends on tickets sales aswell, remember, the gig was only announced last tuesday, and wnet on sale today. can somebody upload a ticket picture? i bought mine on line, i reckon the leaks are to hype up the media, the albmun is probalby coming!!!!! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Stevenson on February 25, 2006, 09:27:44 AM Im there im there!!! Just got 4 tickets online! :beer:
Holy shit, im gonna see Axl Rose for the first time ever, this is gonna be sweet as hell Me and 3 of my mates are traveling from Scotland to see the gig, think we might be sleeping in my car when we get there :) I swear to god if Axl does a no show im personaly gonna hunt him down and shave his head! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on February 25, 2006, 09:28:24 AM dont have a scanner or photo camera but the tickets are your standard (blue this year) ticketmaster ireland pieces, with the special difference of have Guns N' Roses at the top.
followed by: Rds Arena gates open 5pm fri 09-jun-2006 PITCH and the support will be the support act for sundays donnington gig. i cant see snow patrol at donnington myself (and i hope theyre not for it would be an embarrassment to 'the home of rock'). Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: BD888 on February 25, 2006, 11:32:24 AM I am looking at the ticket pricing online now. Which price and which section is the standing tickets?

id be surprised (though it would make me mess myself as ps are one of my favourite bands) if primal scream were playing such a metal inclined festival. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: meanmachine73 on March 03, 2006, 05:04:35 AM Can anyone help, I have tickets for the show. I thought I had bought the best seats. I purchased tickets and got Row A. I was as happy as the makers of Nightrain wine in 1988... :hihi:
Now it seems the seating tickets are at the back of the venue and I will need to take my Binoculars with me to see anything... Is it worth trading my tickets for standing tickets? Or am I stressing over nothing? And my seats are actually good one's.. Anyone with info on the venue and seating area? Cheers, D.... BTW, Hello to all members of the forum..... : ok: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: russquk on March 03, 2006, 08:25:12 AM Like you say the seats are at the back so might be worth getting hold of standing tickets,i have not been to the venue before so cant say if the view is any good but seems unlikely.plus row A could be the lowest in the block also.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: meanmachine73 on March 03, 2006, 08:49:02 AM Cheers for that, its just really frustrating that you buy what is sold as 'Best Tickets' on ticketmaster, pay a premium rate for them, only to find that the tickets are not that great.... :rant:
Looks like Ebay will be seeing my tickets for sale, I will then re-buy standing tickets. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on March 03, 2006, 07:36:37 PM venue layout
(http://media.ticketmaster.co.uk/en-gb/tmimages/venue/maps/uk2/10472s.gif) note that the distance from the stand to the stage, is larger that the width of a football pitch, as rugby is often played on the standing area, therefore the minimum you will be from the stage is 45 mtrs, but most likely about 75 mtrs or more Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gally on March 03, 2006, 10:02:53 PM As it has not sold out, why not call up ticket master and tell them you want pitch tickets
under irish law you have the chance to return any items purchased. they should change them!!

Not that it matters to be honest. I am in my early 30's so was fortunate enough to have seen them back in the day. Whilst it is isnt nostalgia now, the chance to see the greatest frontman in rock is too much not attend.

How much can this Arena actually hold anyway? From the website it looks like it could be massive! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: dub05 on March 16, 2006, 05:16:30 AM 40,000.

RDS is practically sold out ....Iwas on to aiken promotions & they confirmed that there was very few tickets left & that they where sure it will be a sell-out. They refused to confirm capacity etc which is understandable . From past concerts .....40,000. This is rather amazing folks as we still have no release yet. I will follow up with info on support act's. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on March 16, 2006, 12:47:48 PM 40,000.

every band is in there apart from guns,just not a mention! theres hardly any tix on ebay and the people that are selling on there are making a loss and from me checking ticket master they still have loads of general admission left... also why is seating more expensive than general admission-i got general addmission -that is standing ie. right at the front of stage isnt it??? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Calcy on March 20, 2006, 11:17:28 AM There's quite a bit of pre-organised gigs for competition in Dublin that weekend (Robbie Williams, Metallica) so they don't have the whole of Ireland to themselves to target.
Please don't worry me, flights and hotel are booked so have money to lose out on if there isn't great sales here. But I'm sure it will be a big audience, as there's still 2 and a half months to go to the big event! Any idea on the capacity or is the arena able to have a variety of capacities? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on March 20, 2006, 09:57:10 PM I shot an email off to the promoter, asking about the sales-hopefully i'll get a response.

on topic: does anyone else have else have an ideas about a meeting place/time that is near RDS? Given its a major concert weekend, i have a feeling it will be crowded no matter where you go---i think it's more just an issue of not having to risk getting stuck in traffic on the bus or having to hike a good distance when the gate opens at 3:00. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gally on April 14, 2006, 09:41:29 AM folks,
there will be no pub big enough for this!!!! there will be at least a few hundred trying to get drink at the horse and jockey. the athmospehre should be good thou and much better than being at bruxleess Anyoe knwo where the party is on after the show. Reckon Alx will be in the Four Seasons!!!

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on April 25, 2006, 03:45:19 PM ^ yeah, i thought the issue was that from bruxelles to RDS was too much of a hike, but that waiting for a bus might be problematic as well b/c of traffic, so we were looking for a new place. obviously, there are plenty of you who know this city way better than us other folk (Shoco, im thinking of you). any idea on what is the best way to procede so that we:
a) get to meet up and b) get to the arena around gate time. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Graciela on April 25, 2006, 06:13:35 PM Well, we'll still be checking out the Bruxelles at midday, seems like a cool place.
I don't know Dublin but I think these two places are pretty close to the arena: http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/thehorseshowhouse.html http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/crowes.html Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on April 25, 2006, 06:32:39 PM The Crowes Pub
10 Merrion Road Ballsbridge Dublin http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7450/x58aa609ee.png this place will be busy but it will be better for poeple to meet up closer to the venue and if we cant get in,im sure we could walk a little to find another pub. : ok: The Horseshow House 34 Merrion Road Ballsbridge Dublin 4 there is also this pub on the same road as Graciela found. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on April 25, 2006, 08:43:42 PM Okay, I'll put in a vote for the Crowes Pub rather than Bruxelles only because, if you havent realized, im really anal about getting into arenas around gate time. that said, if the majority feel Bruxelles is a better choice, no biggie, i guess i can afford to be a little less anal-just looking for consensus here :peace:
thoughts? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: dub05 on April 26, 2006, 08:46:14 AM I will go with the flow......i know all the boozers around dublin & i honestly think bruxelles /city centre will be best suited.

Dave and I are gonna stay in Dublin City Centre. It'd be cool if we could all meet at a bar close to the arena, that way everyone can go as it wouldn't be out of the way for anyone. I don't know the place but I'll start looking it up : ok: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on April 29, 2006, 05:47:44 PM What time are ya's thinkin of meeting?

Dave and I are gonna stay in Dublin City Centre. It'd be cool if we could all meet at a bar close to the arena, that way everyone can go as it wouldn't be out of the way for anyone. I don't know the place but I'll start looking it up : ok: I gather there are 2 options being kicked around: 1) Bruxelles at around 1130-Noon in City Centre, then people can take either the bus, train, etc. over to RDS 2) Meet around one of the pubs near RDS at around the same time (though they will be extremely crowded) It seems the first option is still the one most feasible or liked. I will be staying in City Centre, so it wont be too difficult to walk a block to Bruxelles, hang out for an hour or two before heading out to RDS. If im mistaken and people are thinking of other options, please post em. oh incidentally, i dont intend on getting smashed in any event, id actually like to remember the show clearly : ok: but i will buy the rounds i owe to some folks ;) :beer: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: noGnoG on April 30, 2006, 06:16:55 AM I would prefer a pub near the RDS. My plane arrives at 10.05 in the morning. THen we first have to go to our B&B to drop our stuff. I don't know how much time this all will take (travelling from the airport to the city, go form the B&B to the pub). Anyway, I guess we can regonize eachother with the HTGTH shirts!
BTW, is anybody else from the Netherlands flying with Aer Lingus? Maybe we have the same flight! The flight leaves at 9.30 from Schiphol. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: 14 years of silence on April 30, 2006, 09:22:28 AM If anybody is interested in buying 2 standing tickets for the Dublin concert on Friday 9th June please pm me. The tickets are in hand. Im not looking to make a profit im selling them at face value plus shipping costs. :peace:
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: jarmo on April 30, 2006, 09:32:12 AM The question is, how early are people planning on heading to the venue?
No idea of having a meeting in the afternoon in the city centre if most of you are gonna be at RDS by then. /jarmo Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on April 30, 2006, 11:40:22 AM The question is, how early are people planning on heading to the venue? No idea of having a meeting in the afternoon in the city centre if most of you are gonna be at RDS by then. /jarmo good point...since alot of people are taking flights in the day of the show, they might want to just head over to the venue area. i guess it's time for people to post what their plans are specifically so we can hammer this out for sure over the next few weeks. as i said earlier, i will be in City Centre (im arriving the 8th), and could make it to Bruxelles. I'd like to be at RDS and inside the gate no later than 4.00. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: noGnoG on April 30, 2006, 12:36:37 PM We can make a list of people who would like to meet before the show, with their estimated time of being in the city centre/near the RDS (depending on where we meet) and the time they want to go inside the RDS. This gives some insights in the possibilities:
1 Meeting in the city and go to the RDS together at some time 2 Meet near the RDS 3 Whatever else... To start: I will be ready for :beer: around 1.00 and I would like to be in the RDS at 6.00 (...I guess, I dont have a clue about how busy it will be then) Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on April 30, 2006, 01:01:51 PM We can make a list of people who would like to meet before the show, with their estimated time of being in the city centre/near the RDS (depending on where we meet) and the time they want to go inside the RDS.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: jarmo on April 30, 2006, 04:20:49 PM How about we decide on a pub close to RDS and a time?

1.. meet up at bruxelles at around 12 noon-1pm 2.. head over to (lets use for example coz i know this one is outside the RDS) The Crow Pub and meet the poeple who couldnt make it to bruxelles at around 3pm so every body is at the crow for around 3.30-4.00pm 3.. everybody head over the road to the RDS at around gate time this way everybodys happy. : ok: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: xxMarcelaxx on May 01, 2006, 01:05:14 AM I'll start the list then..... please quote the list adding your preferences in front of your nickname (or pm me and I'll add you to this post)!

http://www.aikenpromotions.com/event.asp?eid=296 it appears that this is just a guns gig but with funeral for a wank added to the bill-with the doors opening at 4pm and not 3 like the ticket says(i believe it was a ticket misprint as this website has a time from which the music will start) i also believe guns will have the stage set up the way they like and not just a download stage.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: anythinggoes on May 11, 2006, 10:37:09 AM seems to be a bit of confusion here this is from the download site
Arena Opening Times (2006) Friday, 9 June Gates 3pm Music: ?5.30pm and now there are two stages GNR FFAF BFMV on Stage 1 Therapy? Lauren Harris and Voodoo Six on Stage 2 more to come appaently there is a Pit area according to other forums so early queueing is advised for that Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 11:15:06 AM this is turning in to a fucking joke!
now theres 2 stages and a pit area???why cant it all be general admission like stated on the tickets?so just how is this going to work? if id have known this was a festival and not just a gnr gig i wouldnt fuckin bother with it. myself i say screw the pit area-just have a normal gen admission. i dont know about every1 else but i wont be gettin there till 3 at least god knows people will be queing from-and is it a holliday in dublin on the fri or a normal working day? i have no idea what to expect Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 11:23:50 AM what forum did u go on 2 see about the pit area?
does any1 else think this is gettin stupid and handled crappy by the promoters?

appears that there is one http://www.downloadfestival.ie/festival_info/siteplan.asp Not very good that is it, why should people who paid the same be prevented from getting closer to the front?! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 11:59:47 AM ok so iv now seen the plan and infact there is a pit standing area barriered off from the rest
http://www.downloadfestival.ie/festival_info/siteplan.asp if any1 has been to the download before how the hell do you get in the pit area and can any1 just go in there or...do they let people in then just not let anymore in once they filled it up?? i must say i wanna be in there when guns hit the stage Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: anythinggoes on May 11, 2006, 12:06:51 PM Well i guess i will 100% go straight to the arena :P

and it must be hell of a size if theres another stage at the same time!! this is being turned from a gn'r gig to a day with shit bands playing finished by the best band. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Jamie on May 11, 2006, 12:21:12 PM Why are all you guys fucking moaning so much? I think we all realise the support sucks, but you're getting to see GnR aren't you?! Personally i couldn't give a flying fuck who's supporting just be glad you get to see Axl and the boys in Ireland for the first time since UYI.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 12:38:14 PM i was moaning at the fact that the arena is laid out shit! a seperate part just for moshing...what a pile of crap !it should just general admission everywhere!
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Jamie on May 11, 2006, 12:43:57 PM I don't see that's such a big deal, every rock n roll concert I've ever been to has had a moshpit and it's not a big deal, nobody even moshes in the things! It's just a designated area to be close to the stage is all, you get in if you're there early
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on May 11, 2006, 12:50:24 PM how do you get into pit standing?? and it must be hell of a size if theres another stage at the same time!! this is being turned from a gn'r gig to a day with shit bands playing finished by the best band. dude, will you relax and stop crying this was never a gnr day, it was always download, iv been at it twice this is the first year there will be 2 days and 2 stages, this event is getting bigger every year which is why there are 2 stages and 2 days, if you dont like it dont go i was moaning at the fact that the arena is laid out shit! a seperate part just for moshing...what a pile of crap !it should just general admission everywhere! have you actually been to a gig before?? i dont see what your problem is, even if it was just a gnr gig and not a festival, there would still be support acts playing so whats the difference?? also, iv never ever been to a concert/festival where there wasnt a pit, so get over it Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 12:57:53 PM of course iv been to gigs before -and probably more than you as i work for the charlatans!
im not bothered about support im just pissed that its been laid out so poor! and if memoery serves this was first billed as a GNR GIG not download to the normal person like myself or others here..... Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on May 11, 2006, 01:02:17 PM of course iv been to gigs before -and probably more than you as i work for the charlatans! im not bothered about support im just pissed that its been laid out so poor! and if memoery serves this was first billed as a GNR GIG not download to the normal person like myself or others here..... well good for you, but since i live here and heard the advertisments, seen the advertisments in papers and have been at it before i can confirm its always been part of download, and just for the record metallica was announced before gnr and it was advertised as download with metallica headlining oh and theres nothing wrong with the layout, youl see when you get there Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: gnr2k6 on May 11, 2006, 01:06:53 PM ok no probs sorry if i pissed any1 off!
just a question tho shocco have you been in the pit area before and if so did u have to que to get in there?what time will u get there this year? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on May 11, 2006, 01:12:56 PM i have been in the pit once, but not at any of the download shows, i arrived late enough and one of my friends was lucky enough to get 4 passes for the pit, she was a girl and not the tallest so thats prob how she got them, otherwise id imagine youd have to be there early to have a chance of getting one
i probably wont go in until about 6 or seven, im not bothered about getting into the pit Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: the tourist on May 11, 2006, 01:31:30 PM shoco... are there big video screens?? and what where the headliners last year??
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on May 11, 2006, 01:37:12 PM shoco... are there big video screens?? and what where the headliners last year?? wasnt here last year but iron maiden headlined, i was there the two years before that when metallica headlined both times and yeah im pretty sure there was a screen each side of the stage, or it may have been in the middle but there was a screen yeah Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: the tourist on May 11, 2006, 01:40:47 PM allright thanks : ok:?

I usually go on cd.com but I decided to go on holiday for a bit. I'm going to the Dublin concert. Whats going on for beers afterwards? Are there any people heading into Temple Bar to get wasted. My flight leaves at 8am on Saturday and I dont wanna sit around like billy no mates at the airport. Whats the crack? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: MR W,AXL ROSE on May 12, 2006, 08:40:08 AM good question! my ferry leaves at around 8 am saturday mornin and we were plannin on finding a park bench or summit.itd be better to have a good piss up.so wheres open all hours?
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Nightfall on May 12, 2006, 10:23:03 AM i have been in the pit once, but not at any of the download shows, i arrived late enough and one of my friends was lucky enough to get 4 passes for the pit, she was a girl and not the tallest so thats prob how she got them, otherwise id imagine youd have to be there early to have a chance of getting one do you know if download has a CLOSED pit? coz in Belgium there was also a pit but that one remaind open through the entire day....so it got really crowded unfortunatly...i probably wont go in until about 6 or seven, im not bothered about getting into the pit Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: rotmail.co.uk on May 12, 2006, 10:46:53 AM good question! my ferry leaves at around 8 am saturday mornin and we were plannin on finding a park bench or summit.itd be better to have a good piss up.so wheres open all hours? Last time I went to Dublin these girls we met mentioned an all night bar but we never found out where it was. I reckon we bundle into Temple Bar, all meet outside the Hard Rock cafe and go from there. Some Irish people will take pity on us and show us the ropes. Its gonna be rammed with people cos Robbie Williams is gonna be playing that weekend and he likes to get big crowds (likes to make up for smaller things I think) Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: dub05 on May 12, 2006, 12:34:02 PM well is there really gonna be a load of moshing at at guns gig?? im not so sure but the back of the pit if you get in, or anywhere in general crowd id imagine youd be ok Are you nuts mr shaughnessy i nearly fucking died in slane ....it's gonna be bannanas when they walk out on stage. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Smokey on May 12, 2006, 01:38:52 PM What time would you's sugest being at the RDS at to get up front at the stage?
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Brendan on May 12, 2006, 02:12:21 PM I haven't been to the RDS before but what are the chances of getting in with a digital camera to this? Do they search for these things or what's the story? Wouldn't mind grabbing some shots of GnR on stage and the odd video or two. But don't fancy the chance of getting an expensive camera confiscated if it's the case.

Maybe I'll leave it at home then. Will ask a few friends who may of went to the RDS for any gigs and see if they had any success getting in with a camera :) Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: xxMarcelaxx on May 12, 2006, 08:38:12 PM So you guys are saying that there's no chance we can get close to the stage without getting hurt? :confused:
I'm going to the concert in Dublin and the one in Paris.... I wonder which one would be better to at least try getting the closest possible. Any ideas? ;) Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: ironfin on May 14, 2006, 03:25:18 AM A few questions for anyone who has been to the RDS before. First off when I bought the tickets it was advertised as a GNR gig with Motley Crew supporting.
Is it correct that its now some kind of music festival? If there are 2 stages will there be another band on at the same time as GNR? IS there a moshing area closed off from the rest of the arena? If so is the only way to get into the pit by getting their early? If there is a pit then is everything else seating? Most importantly can you buy beer there? Is it outdoor? : ok: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Jamie on May 14, 2006, 11:46:36 AM So you guys are saying that there's no chance we can get close to the stage without getting hurt?? :confused: I wouldn't go that far, but if you want to get into the pit, (provided there is one) you'll have to expect a bit of a rough time, just people bumping into you, and you'll probably get a bit squashed Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Smokey on May 14, 2006, 11:55:48 AM I wouldn't go that far, but if you want to get into the pit, (provided there is one) you'll have to expect a bit of a rough time, just people bumping into you, and you'll probably get a bit squashed Thats how it was at Velvet Revolver and Id expect it to be the same at Guns. Whats the earliest anyone'd recomend being outside the Rds to que to get in and get up front close to the stage? Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on May 14, 2006, 12:43:51 PM Is it correct that its now some kind of music festival? it has been for 4 years, this is the first time its on over 2 days If there are 2 stages will there be another band on at the same time as GNR? quite possibly IS there a moshing area closed off from the rest of the arena? If so is the only way to get into the pit by getting their early? there is no moshing allowed, that doesnt mean it wont happen, best chance to get into the pit is to get there early If there is a pit then is everything else seating? no, there is the pit, then the standing area, then a seated stand all at the main stage, not sure about the 2nd stage Most importantly can you buy beer there? of course this is Ireland, it wont be cheap and heineken usually sponsor music events here Is it outdoor? : ok: yes the main stage is out door, i think the 2nd stage is in a marquee Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: NickNasty on May 14, 2006, 02:09:43 PM if you're not in the pit but in the main section close to where the pit is, can you still see the stage decently?

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Calcy on June 04, 2006, 09:33:37 AM There you go, posted in the main section of the forum:
Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his official web site: "Sometimes in life you make true friends. A true friend is someone whom you can see and then not see, but when you see them again, it is like no time has passed at all. A true friend is someone whom you can laugh with, talk with, hang out with, rock with, and confide in.Then there is the friend who gives you so much you can't express in words how much they mean to you. "When I look back on my life, I have to say that one of my true friends is Mr. W. Axl Rose. As everyone now knows, when GUNS N' ROSES made their triumphant return to New York City a few weeks ago, Axl was cool enough to invite me onstage all four nights to sing with him the GUNS N' ROSES song of my choice, which happens to be 'My Michelle'. During the NYC shows Axl asked me if I wanted to fly with him to Europe to duet with him in England at Donington and Hammersmith. Of course I said YES and then I mentioned to him the recording of the new CD 'Angel Down' and how much it would mean for our band to open some GUNS N' ROSES shows. Axl's response was to offer the band the whole European tour. "To say that my mind is blown, or that I am thankful for this opportunity, is so superfluous. I really cannot express how much this means to me. "Axl Rose is the most honest, genuine, straight-up, and talented person I have ever met in this business, and for him to give my band the chance to rock in front of all his fans is something I will never forget. He is now singing better than ever! "My personal favorite new GUNS N' ROSES song is 'I.R.S.' "Last night I jammed with him at Rock Am Ring in Germany in front of 70,000 people after a two-day plane journey which put me in four countries in one day! "It is gonna be a truly killer summer playing on tour with GUNS N' ROSES and recording the new CD as well!!! 'See ya soon Europe and Japan!"

It would be good to meet any Irish gunners or anyone travelling over to Ireland for a few pints before going into rds. Lets hope its as memorable a show as Slane 1991...if anyone on hear recalls that epic day? Enjoy.

What time are GNR due on stage? : ok: How would you get into the pit? : ok: id like an answer to these questions too please if anyone can. Gates open at 3 pm. First band at 5.30 pm. Time GNR on stage - whenever Axl feels like it. Queue up early - general consensus from the Download forum is that if you're there by 7 or 8 am you should be able to get a pit pass. Hope this helps. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on June 05, 2006, 07:22:05 PM 7 or 8?!

the ticket sales havnt really done as much as compared to the show metallica is doin on sunday from what i gather but i could be wrong Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: cyllan on June 06, 2006, 05:05:40 AM dont forget theyr mostly talkin about sunday and not friday -that place is just mettalica fans if the truth is known! the ticket sales havnt really done as much as compared to the show metallica is doin on sunday from what i gather but i could be wrong You're right, it is mainly Sunday talk on the Download forum, so with any luck you shouldn't have to get there so early on Friday for a GNR pass.? However, if anyone is really keen to get into the pit, I would still advise that they aim to get there as early as they can to avoid disappointment. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 06, 2006, 06:37:38 AM Oh no! There's gonna be a pit w/ wristbands? That sucks :-(
Wristband pits are such a fuckin bad thing, why not just count the # of ppl inside and when someone leaves, another person can get in? There's no freaking way i can be in ireland early enough to get a pit pass, and you can't have like, a friend take one for you, can you? /me is pissed off :no: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tracker on June 06, 2006, 07:36:02 AM I have one spare standing ticket for sale at face value.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 07, 2006, 10:37:44 AM I'm sorry for nagging about it - but how does the thing with the wristbands work? You basically can go there at 8am, pick up the wristband, get drunk, show up again at 9pm and get to the pit? Or do you have to stay in line for the whole day & get the band only inside the arena?

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 07, 2006, 12:18:01 PM Dude, last weekend I spent 11 hrs on a train and then sat on concrete floor for 13 hrs waiting for Gn'R to play.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on June 07, 2006, 08:33:04 PM id assume there will be a stall or two inside the arena selling. any show ive been to in dublin (though none in the rds) have had the concession stands open before and after the show, but you're best to get the stuff early as the good stuff tends to sell out in good sizes.
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Calcy on June 08, 2006, 02:40:17 AM Well thats me off to London to enjoy some sites (Inc. We Will Rock You musical!) before heading out for flight to Dublin early doors tomorrow!
Hopefully see some of you in Bellamys or Bruxelles! Can't believe we're here already, only seems like yesterday since I booked tix! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: meanmachine73 on June 08, 2006, 04:12:08 AM Does anyone know if there is a curfew at the RDS? Just wandering / second guessing what time GN'R will take to the stage. With a midnight curfew would say 9.45-10pm start. Without a curfew god only knows............
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 08, 2006, 04:18:07 AM I figure Axl doesn't care about curfews ;)
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: meanmachine73 on June 08, 2006, 04:23:27 AM lol, I would agree with that.. However certain councils will give advanced notice of time of closing. They will fine the RDS heavily, who in-turn will pass on the fines to the bands, promotors etc.....
On the other hand there may not be a curfew and start and end the show when they deem fit. Anyways, Dublin is going to be packed this weekend. 3 Huge acts all in town at the same time... GN'R, The Eagles, and ermmm Robbie Williams.... No wonder the hotel prices are 3 x higher than they will be in 2 weeks time.... Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: anythinggoes on June 08, 2006, 05:04:08 AM I'll be coming from Paris on an Air France flight. I'll get to Dublin tomorrow night around 10PM.

I'll bring my HTGTH shirt I think. see you there thanks for doing the updates for me too bad about the spam got there in the end would loved to of sent more photos but my phone was on 1 bar for the last 90mins suprised it lasted the night back on topic hopefully i will see you there i was wearing my HTGTH shirt didint see any others and was surprised no one approached me about it ???

Sorry I'm in a hurry, I don't have time to browse through the 32 pages of this thread. Anyway, I'm gonna go with a buddy from Belgium, but I guess we're gonna try to get to RDS pretty early, maybe we'll see you guys at RDS. If you shout "Will from GN'R France?" I'll recognize you! lol
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Irish rose on June 08, 2006, 08:28:17 AM well..I cant believe i actually did it....cut my holiday short to get back a day early for GNR! I'm glad i did now but the travelling was long and expensive
Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: tonya_ytzerman on June 08, 2006, 08:32:32 AM at 3 at the Bellamy's pub (right next to RDS). My ticket says they open gates at 5, even though someone in this thread said at 3. i'm confused, anyway i'll be at RDS early enough to figure it out. If you see a chick with a HTGTH shirt or a bordeaux sweater and orange sunglasses, that's me :)

Gr8 show especially Nightrain and Paradise City.. Too many guitar solos really destroyed any momentum that was building up. nobody really knew the new songs. Sound was fairly good I thought, difficult to hear the solos at times. They only played Madagascar, Better and the Blues of the new songs.. Bach came on for My Michelle as expected Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: robz150 on June 09, 2006, 08:28:06 PM They caught me by suprise coming on early I missed Welcome and its so easy :no: Sweet Child/Paradise/YCBM/Patience/Michelle/Nightrain/November got the best reception It went dead for the "New songs" nobody seemed to know them or care although better got a bit of a reaction. baz livened it up a bit too. Axl wrapped an Irish flag around himself for a couple of songs. He walked around close to the crowd for a bit as well. Nothing major to report. My third GNR show 1992,2002 the others. I enjoyed this one but the previous 2 were better. I kind of knew what to expect after seeing the Rio stream. Axl's voice sounded great for most of it as well.

It would be AMAZING if...... Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on June 10, 2006, 08:52:11 AM where did everyone end up? we managed to get a seat in the horse show lounge for the germany game.
a lot of people were caught out by axl arriving on time. there were still thousands at the bar/concession area. i missed the first 3 songs, but was still able to manouvre my way to the second/third row at the front of the divide just to the right of the camera. pretty good crowd there and a few (mostly girls - and can i just say, i think gnr female fans are hotter than any other bands fans save maybe the strokes) were singing along to the new tunes. of course there were a few dublin arseholes (and dublin people are easily the most tone deaf fuckers in the country), but generally it was a terrific crowd who were just happy to see axl. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on June 10, 2006, 09:36:03 AM well have to say even i was impressed lol axl really did sound great, and everyone in the band looked as if they were having a great time
its a pity they did actually come on stage on time, i sat in the pub til half 7 with a few people i met, it was cool puting faces on a few names from the site, and by that stage there were still hundreds of people outside who would probably would have missed the start, and there was even a few thousand in the second stage area that would have missed the start. i watched WTTJ and ISE from the back before forcing my way up to the barrier between the main crowd and the pit where i watched the rest of the show even the band were laughing about been on early, axl was trying to block out the sun and was asking the crowd what it was, saying he never seen it before as the crowd started chanting ole ole axl tried to do his own version of riverdance (stick to the singing lol) i think iv found a new respect for dizzy reed, i loved his solo before the blues, thought it was really cool, hope some has a good recording it, i actually enjoyed all the solos/intros, a few people were complaing that it broke up the momentum but i think most didnt mind, it was actually nice to have a breather every now and then as thing were a bit mental i like better and madagascar too, tho i dont think they should have played them together, not enough of the crowd knew them and at times i thought i was the only one that knew them cos it was quiet axl introduced his "future cellmate" sebastian bach who got a good reception axl was haned an irish flag and got a great response when he wrapped it round him, he also went off stage and high 5 a load of fans at the front i was disapointed when they played nightrain cos i knew they were about to finish the show, i couldnt believe they time had went so quick i thought the best recieved songs were YCBM and Paradise city, the place went nuts during them i tried recording som on my fone but it was mayhem and they didnt come out well, i did get a bit of patience which wasnt too bad, its not me singing in it and about 20 seconds in to it you can here me shouting fuck as someone crowd surfing landed on top of me lol http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SVIYUZ2W all in all a great show and cant have any complaint, roll on manchester Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on June 10, 2006, 09:43:05 AM i think iv found a new respect for dizzy reed, i loved his solo before the blues, thought it was really cool, id forgot all about that until you mentioned it there now and now my memory is refreshed i have to agree wholeheartedly. he made the tune. and about the finishing time - i seem to recall a time of 10 minutes past 10 when they came out for the encore or finished the encore (cant quite remember) which i found a bit disappointing. i was hoping for a two song encore. but... it was a great show. and the only real complaint i have is that it just left me wanting more, even though i was physically and emotionally drained. i was a complete wreck by the end of the show and all i wanted was to see them again! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: velvetrevolver2005 on June 10, 2006, 10:32:21 AM Just wanna say I thought Axl was on top form last night -- great WAAAAAAYYY better than I thought he'd be. Have wanted to see GNR for so long and it was great!!!
My only complaint about the gig was the guitar solos that were played - I thought they killed the momentum of the gig, especially half way through. Fair enough if its Slash or Izzy playing a solo - they are legendary musicans, but when its guys that most people dont know, it doesnt work. Not that the new guys were bad or anything but they just aint Slash. Thought My Michelle was excellent. As was Nightrain (despite it been fucked up), Paradise City, You Could be Mine, Patience and November Rain. Also though You Better (think thats what its called) was great. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Stevenson on June 10, 2006, 11:38:48 AM Took the words right out my mouth. To say Axl was on top form is an understatment. My jaw hit the floor when he burst into Jungle and he managed to keep it up all night too.
On top of that the band were amazing, I have a new respect for the new GN'R after that show. You can tell just by looking at them onstage how well they have gel-ed as a band. And to anyone who thinks Axl does'nt run around like he used to anymore, all i'd say to you is, you should have been in dublin! :beer: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Calcy on June 10, 2006, 02:11:12 PM Just back from Dublin now.
Wow I'm shattered. Was long day yesterday as I'm sure many others experienced. Loved the gig, really good hearing GN'R music live and hearing the great roar that Axl has. I know that ppl are moaning about hearing most of AFD but every single one of them that was played (8 i think?) the crowd went nuts, definitely more than the UYI stuff really (YCBM excepted) so I think atm you can't remove them easily. Although slightly gutted about Rocket Queen. Great performance, think Better was one of the song of the day, maybe not really noticed as most of the crowd wouldn't know it, and I think Blues and Maddy fell a bit victim to that too. Hopefully next time they're in Europe after CD is out that'll change. And I agree with the solos losing the momentum gathering, saw a lot of ppl going for a beer or whatever then. But loved the music, crowd was boisterous and Axl was in good spirits and his vocals were tremnedous, I think better from what I've seen on the UYI videos. Can't wait for part 2 for me in Glasgow. Btw, I was the guy in a novelty size Guinness hat. Hope I didn't block anyone's view! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Brendan on June 10, 2006, 03:26:48 PM i think iv found a new respect for dizzy reed, i loved his solo before the blues, thought it was really cool, hope some has a good recording it, i actually enjoyed all the solos/intros, a few people were complaing that it broke up the momentum but i think most didnt mind, it was actually nice to have a breather every now and then as thing were a bit mental Got to agree with you there. At least some of the solos were needed to catch a breath. Maybe it was just the area were were in. I checked out your Patience vid and I must of been pretty close to where you were, but all sorts of moshing and crowd surfing broke out in that area. Two guys even started to get into a fight just after WTTJ ffs :) then some guy calmed them down. Overall the show was amazing, Axl sounded incredible and so did the rest of the band. He was all over the stage and he even came down in front during Madagascar to touch hands with all the fans in front. I know some people are kind of getting sick of the same setlist but I think they done the right thing and not play too many new songs, although I personally would of liked to of heard the others, 90% of the people there would of never heard the new songs so they would get a bit pissed and enjoyed singing along with all the old songs they already know. Better seemed to be very well received from the crowds reaction to it. I think the biggest surprise of the event for me was them taking to the stage right on time. I was sitting on the pitch and all of a sudden I hear the intro music they played and I jumped up and worked my way up through the crowd as close as I could get. I was looking forward to hearing Better and Madagascar live and I'm glad the two were played. Chinese Democracy would of bee cool to hear and the new intro sounds really good and the song itself seems improved. Some other things I noticed during the show was when The Band including Axl first took the stage I think he said something like "now this is a rock show", before he broke into "Do you know where the fuck you are!?!?". something similar to what he said at Budapest before Mr. Brownstone. I think 2 or 3 songs in it looked like someone threw a beany toy or something on stage and he said something about it. Then he threw it and gave it a big kick in the air. After ISO or Mr. Brownstone he said it was like Ice skating on stage and he was slipping and sliding up there. During KOHD someone threw up an Irish flag with G&R in the centre of it and he tied it onto himself like a cape for the rest of the song. People started chanting ol? ol? at one stage and Axl crossed his arms and pretended to do some Irish Dancing. He said something like "I'm Melting!" in reference to the sun as commented on how he's usually not out this early. He introduced Baz as his future cellmate and when baz came out he asked how everyone was doing, wondered if we liked Alcohol here in Ireland and asked if we had an Appetite for Destruction, then they both went into My Michelle. Axl said he was gonna play something Acoustic and when Richard was getting setup with the Acoustic Guitar, Axl started to simulate the banjo music from Deliverance. The whole crowd joined in with him and he kept it going for about half a min. All in All a great show. Axl and the band were in a great mood. When he sort of messed up the blues toward the end he made a big smile to the band after. The solo's could probably be a bit shorter and most of the crowd did find them a bit boring from my perspective. Ron's seemed to of gone on for what felt like 10 mins, but I think he played the entire Don't Cry on the guitar? It was great to see them live in Ireland after them not being here since Slane and I look forward to seeing them live again soon.

In all fairness they only played Live and Let Die, Knockin on Heavens Door and You Could be Mine from Use Your Illusion - and all three went down well so.. thats a little unfair. Would have loved to hear one or three hundred more from UYI, especially the lesser known stuff, but I really can't fault the setlist except for the drawn out solos and the fact I wanted MORE after Paradise City.

I arrived in Dublin around 8ish and headed straight to the venue. There already was a huge queue (not in front of the gates, but on some parking lot next to it) of about 100 ppl. I asked the dudes from the very front, and they said they'd been waiting there since 10 last night. I had brought some food, sth to drink and a book, so i spent the day sitting on the concrete in the baking sun. The queue was _very_ well organised, they had rails which separated the queue in different sections every 100 or so ppl. After noon, they started to advance the queue bit by bit and handed out the wristbands. They searched some ppl with what appeared to be metal detectors (cool idea with a crowd that's mostly wearing steel toecap shoes and heavy belts ;) ). They let the queue into the pit section by section. I was in the second section, so I got my place in 1st row a little left of center without any problems. The stage was very close to the rails, and rather high, so from where I was standing I could not see the right part of the stage. Before the show, they were showing the Germany - Costa Rica on the video walls. Openers were Bullet for my Valentine (who IMO rocked, a metal band rather on the speed/heavy side), and Funeral for a Friend (from Wales, more NuMetal) whom I found not so good (a band whose drummer can sing better than its singer, plus they all look as if they came straight out of some computer science lab where they'd been locke up for three years and did nothing but programming assembler and eating chips. but then, that's just my opinion. Apart from the singer, they're ok musicians). Gn'R started on time 20:00 which surprised me. Seems someone convinced the band that they were serious about the curfew: I think they cut the set short, because the break between "normal" set and encores was a bit "oops, it's 10, let's stop", there was only one encore (PC), Axl cut short on his piano solo (just a few notes), and he did a somewhat hurried introduction of the band (like "we don't have time but I have to do that quickly"). Axl joked at the beginning of the show "I'm melting. It's the sun! You know, it's been a long time since i saw it last, the sun...". Besides for that, not many quotes (none that I remember?). His shoes didn't seem to be the best for that stage, he was constantly sliding (though controlled, kinda like a kid playing round) during the first 1-2 songs. He commented that he needed to "change his tires" (a reference to him having been to the F1 race in Silverstone). Some dude threw a Pigglet (stuffed animal, from Winnie the Pooh) on stage. I'd met the dude before, a hardcore Axl-90ies-style dressed rocker :-) . Axl kicked around the Pigglet first which made me sad cause the guy had been playing with the thing all day n' i found it really cute and stuff. Someone else threw an irish flag on stage that had the new Gn'R logo drawn in the white part and the words "[G&R] the greatest" on them. Axl picked it up and wore it round his shoulders for the next song. Someone thew it down the stage after the show, I didn't see if some fan got it or not. I'm sorry but I don't remember shit about the set list. I might get that stuff right later on (thanks to the person who handed the thing to me, there might be a bootleg of the show. No promises though.). The band had changed some (small) stuff about the songs, great enhancements i'd say. Richard nailed his solo (maybe they read the angry reviews of the London show or so I thought :hihi: ), absolutely amazing. Brain was in good mood as always, he threw his drumsticks into the audience during YCBM (i mean, while sitting behind the drums playing he just threw them, about 20m into the audience, picked a new pair of sticks and continued playing). that was awesome!!! Axl sung definitely live, one of the stronger voice perfomances I've seen of the dude. Axl, Robin (2x), and Bumblefoot came down to 1st row during the show. After the show, the security dude got me the set list, and the ever happier gunner tonya got to touch Robin and Axl (wooow :P ).t I also was a good girl and took pics: Drugs for the Addicts (http://bkatrin.fotki.com/2006/dublin). You can do with them whatever you please as long as you don't use them for some sort of thing you're gonna sell or otherwise make money with (if you copy them, a note about the copyright belonging to me would be nice, still). Thanks go to Mats and his wife with the wonderful danish name which i just can't remember, who waited in the queue with me and shared water and melted chocolate, and Mark (who has such a heavy irish accent that I didn't get half of what he was saying) who kept my place free when I went to get sth to eat. Jarmo gets no thanks. He's a bastard, and he knows why ;) :hihi: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: philspectorshotme on June 11, 2006, 01:09:45 PM terrific photos.

I never thought Boston 2002 would be topped. I was wrong. From the first notes of Jungle, you could just tell that this band and its leader are a whole new animal. The energy they exude is amazing. Axl?s impressions and banter were great---I especially enjoyed the whole preacher bit. The crowd was clearly a little lost about just what this new band is, but I guess that is to be expected?SCOM got an amazing pop though, as has been pointed out. Personal song highlights for me were Maddy, which sounds way better reworked, My Michelle, if only because it seemed Axl and Baz were trying to one up each other and it was absolutely monstrous, and the best of all-Better which is thundering live. It was quite amusing to see all the locals staring at us when we were belting out lyrics to the new tracks?one dude thought my friend was so cool rocking out he took his picture. I may be in the minority, but I thought the solos were all excellent-I think they showcase the members? talents in a way that deserves attention. Dizzy?s solo blew my mind and Bumble?s rendition of Don?t Cry was the shit. The guy is more than up to the task of being BH?s replacement, and you can see the appreciation and passion in his playing. While it was too bad they had to cut the setlist due to curfew, It was great having Axl come out on time---just makes everything more convenient and displays a level of respect for the fans and promoters that always ought to be there, IMO. Back in 2002, that incarnation of Guns was hitting it?s technical peak right when we saw them, yet looking back, I can?t say what I saw that night was a band-it was musicians standing in place carefully playing their parts while Axl did his thing. This band now is the real deal-they run around the stage with a wild abandon-smile in between songs, sing even when they aren?t on backups, and just generally seem to like playing. Axl looks and sounds reborn-and his wit is better than ever (?I?m mellllting!?). Thanks Axl and Dublin! Bring on the Record and the USA. Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Mattgnr on June 12, 2006, 06:18:23 AM It Kicked ass.
My Girlfriend who is NOT a GNR fan - said Axl was simply amazing, and sounded awesome. I have heard many live performances and went to London 2002 - this Dublin show how ever destroyed it. Loved Dublin - you Irish people love to drink and always wanted to drink with you - cool. : ok: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: axl_rose_700 on June 12, 2006, 06:44:34 AM Dublin fuckin rocked!

Got up on Friday went to some bar which had a roof terrace. Drunk and smoked there till 7pm. Met a few guys getting along to Robbie Williams by their girlfriends. They were most jealous.
Got a taxi to the RDS. looked at the cue for beer and then went straight into the arena. Good job we did. As we walked round behind the stand I could here the intro music so we ran and caught most of WTHJ. Couldnt believe it the first time in 20 years that Axl Rose is on time Could barely hear the gig. As everyone sang along I had trouble hearing. The quietest gig i have ever been too. All my friends thought the same. Anyway Axl was awsome. He hit the notes ran around alot and kicked our asses. He was quite funny as well, he did a little Irish jig and pretended to be a used car saleman. Best songs IMO were My Michelle, OTGM, Live and let die and pateince although it was really fuckin hard to hear Axl singing. It would be intresting to find out if Mettalica were quiet last night as well. Best new song was Madagascar, it sounded awsome and I prevously didnt like it. Dissapointed IRS wasnt played. My friends and I came to the conclusion that Axl has one fucking huge cocaine problem. He was going going off the stage reguarly and even during songs (between versus and solos etc) he would then come back on sniffing a lot. Diruing NT which was fantastic he went off during the solo and when he came back on he missed the verse, so he moved his hand around to everyone to indicate to do it again. I reckon Seb Bach sits back stage and chops up massive lines of spendour for him. The guitar solos were not played as well as Slash and Izzy used to do them. The guitar spots were pretty pointless, although it was cool as fuck at the end when they were all running around in front of the stage. The start of better sounded shite but the rest was cool. After the gig got a taxi back into the temple bar went back to the bar with the rooftop where u could smoke and drank till 3 am. Got up on Saturday watched football and drank some more. Came home on Sunday. I have to see GNR in Glsgow now where it will be fuckin louder the crowd will be madder, it will be dark and i'll be able to get close the front. But yes it most definetly kicked ass :beer: Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Shoco on June 12, 2006, 12:13:41 PM it would be intresting to find out if Mettalica were quiet last night as well. i didnt find it hard to hear guns, but yes metallica were a lot louder een tho i was further back than i was at the gnr gig Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: axl_rose_700 on June 13, 2006, 06:56:22 AM AXL_ROSE_700.

My name is Lola and I'm new here I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same as me, coz I was a little bit disapointed with the gig :-\? I have been a fan since '88 and absolutely love their music, some of Axls lyrics have helped me through some real long nights and in my humble opinion Appitite is one of the best albums to shag to. But I really thought Axls voice wasn't as strong as it used to be nor could he hold the crowd like he used to and that the guitar was pretty shite. I felt it was all very sanitised and formulaic. To me it felt a bit like they were just getting the songs out, but with very little emotion involved. I mean Axl lost the crowd twice and the solos were quite simply boring. Like someone on the VR forum said, it was like Axls solo project that played a lot of GnR stuff. The last two gigs VR played here had much more of the old GnR about them, those gigs were much dirtier, sexier and louder. I went with my husband and two friends and we are all in agreement that the guitar players could have been a lot sharper, and most of the time we couldn't even hear the bass. I know it probably doesn't sound it from above but we enjoyed it all the same, we sang, danced and screamed the night away, well until 10.30 anyway!? But despite the fact it was mainly old stuff they played, I just cant see them as GunsNRoses and I am really sorry for that. :( ?coz I loved that bloody band so much.

The RDS show was amazing, incredible, totally awesome. Axl's voice was in the best shape i ever heard him and he seemed more happy and relaxed than ever before. The new band ROCKS!! the crowd went completely nuts all through the gig and the response to the new songs was very good (where i was, many people were singing along). I was glad to see many young gnr fans and after seeing this amazing show i am convinced that GNR is back for good. I really hoped izzy would have played in the RDS too, but oh well...i got lucky in 93, you cant always get what you want. ii will travel again to see them when the album is out. having seen VR last year here in greece, i honestly think New GNR kicks vr's ass in a very brutal way. i was very disappointed with Vr's album and show. i loved dizzy's solo before the blues and the guitar cover of aguilera's beautiful. i love the new band. Highlights of the show for me were : welcome to the jungle, madagascar,november rain, the blues,patience, better, outta get me, my michelle, you could be mine,sweet child o' mine, nightrain and paradise city. Axl rose rules the entire universe.cant wait to see GNR again! Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: jarmo on June 14, 2006, 02:12:33 AM After seeing them play at the Hammersmith Apollo, I thought Dublin wouldn't even be close to that amazing gig. Turns out it wasn't.... But not because it wasn't any good. It's because Dublin was so different that there's no need to compare.
Both shows were amazing but for different reasons. Hammersmith is a small, dark indoor venue while the RDS show was in sunlight in a big open space. It was like two different bands. This band can play any kind of show and pull it off (which they proved even further at Download). /jarmo Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: Jamie on June 15, 2006, 07:23:27 AM OK I would've posted earlier about this but I was off on holidays the morning after the gig put I'm back now!
Anyways this show was fucking amazing I was right up to the front and only a couple of feet away from the stage. I was expecting something special at this show but it completely exceded my expectations, the best day of my life by a long shot. The highlights of the show for me were Madagascar and Welcome To The Jungle, but I was a bit worried that I was the only one, around where I was anyways, that knew the words to the new songs. That was a bit fucked. And sorry I couldn't go to the meet ups but i was with about 5 or 6 other guys so I didn't wanna drag them along too like.

Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: velvetrevolver2005 on June 21, 2006, 09:31:24 PM Hello everyone, My name is Lola and I'm new here I just wanted to know if anyone else felt the same as me, coz I was a little bit disapointed with the gig :-\? I have been a fan since '88 and absolutely love their music, some of Axls lyrics have helped me through some real long nights and in my humble opinion Appitite is one of the best albums to shag to. But I really thought Axls voice wasn't as strong as it used to be nor could he hold the crowd like he used to and that the guitar was pretty shite. I felt it was all very sanitised and formulaic. To me it felt a bit like they were just getting the songs out, but with very little emotion involved. I mean Axl lost the crowd twice and the solos were quite simply boring. Like someone on the VR forum said, it was like Axls solo project that played a lot of GnR stuff. The last two gigs VR played here had much more of the old GnR about them, those gigs were much dirtier, sexier and louder. I went with my husband and two friends and we are all in agreement that the guitar players could have been a lot sharper, and most of the time we couldn't even hear the bass. I know it probably doesn't sound it from above but we enjoyed it all the same, we sang, danced and screamed the night away, well until 10.30 anyway!? But despite the fact it was mainly old stuff they played, I just cant see them as GunsNRoses and I am really sorry for that. :( ?coz I loved that bloody band so much. I can only think of VR playing in Ireland once before?? ??? (The Point in January 05) Title: Re: Dublin, RDS, Ireland - June 9, 2006 Post by: jarmo on June 23, 2006, 01:17:49 PM Stop it!
