July 30th, 2006 - London, UK @ Cuckoo Club
July 30th, 2006 - London, UK @ Wembley Arena

 

[jarmo]

Yeah, I realize that could be considered three back to back shows.

But they were in the same city... And one was a fun acoustic show. Not a full arena one....

Sleeping? or loads of money?

what would you pick?

im thinking of logistics more than anything -
reading will finish late, pack up and ship to ireland, unpack and set up, finish late then pack up and ship to leeds.........you get the picture

I agree, you have to think of the practicalities. Also I can't remember the last time GN'R did 3 nights in a row. Also at these festivals, they tend to start kind of early. So say if GN'R finished Slane at midnight, the crew would have to fly back over to England to set up the stage before the festival gates open around 11am. It would be really hard on the crew guys, but I suppose it's not impossible.

But lets wait and see. 

PS. Does the date have to be on the 28th?.

You do know that G N' R never make use of their own stage on a festival?

[wadey]

Yeah, but also like i said earlier. Guns only uk festival dates are leeds - reading. Slane is uk Isnt it?

[John Galt]

Yeah, but also like i said earlier. Guns only uk festival dates are leeds - reading. Slane is uk Isnt it?

No - i'ts Republice of Ireland, which is not the UK (UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) ....

[wadey]

So its possible then. I said earlier my geography was pants

I don't think that will happen....

Also, what day is it today?

In defense of the rumor, for what it's worth, I posted the article on another board yesterday, and it's been talked about for a few days. I don't believe it's an April Fools Day prank given it's fairly speculative at best - it's not like they're trumpeting the headliners as a certainty.

Also - not sure if the 28th date is set in stone. Wikipedia lists only the organizer saying it'll take place in August, with no specific date. The Slane Castle website does not list a date just yet.

THE OWNER of Slane Castle has said a concert has been provisionally scheduled for Saturday, August 28th.

Lord Henry Mountcharles said it was the only date available for a concert this summer.

hmm, only date available, really?

Well that would bugger up the chances. I really don't see them playing three nights in a row...

[CoBrA2168]

Could this just not be an April fools joke?

[Chinese Monopoly]

No - i'ts Republice of Ireland, which is not the UK (UK is England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) ....

Bogus state, I among other Irish citizens are of the view that there are thirty two counties on the island of the Irish Republic, "Northern Ireland" is a term invented by the British.

Not at all, the "Irish Times" is a very respectable media outlet.

No, but they do use their own gear etc which still needs to be trucked around.

So how do you think the drums and keyboard riser got to.. Download for instance?

Exactly, I'm on about the stage where the piano is under and I'm sure there will be some screens used by GN'R and other stuff like stairs or steps and the effects pedals. Also when GN'R Played the Download festival and Rock AM Ring in 2006, everything onstage was the same as if you was at a GN'R arena show. So yes, they probably will bring all their stage show to the festivals too, like in 2006.

 

[wadey]

Have a look at jarmo's 'a day in the life of guitar tech' and we can appreciate how much work goes into the setup etc, and thats just one technician never mind the whole crew

Exactly, it would be almost impossible for GN'R to do Slane if the only available date is the 28th August. Eragon said that GN'R don't use their own stage at festivals which is not true. In 2006 they did, and I'm sure this year they will bring most of, if not all their stage show with them.

I don't know where Eragon got that from because, at Download, Rock AM Ring and Inland Invasion in 2006 they had the full stage just as if they were doing a headlining arena show.

As far as the stage goes I heard a story once about the bigger bands, now I dunno if this is bollocks or not but the bigger bands have 2 stages goin round for touring. One stage for todays gig in ireland lets say, and another on its way to germany for tomorrows gig while the irish gig is happenin. Does this make sense?

Yeah, I've heard that's the way U2 handled things on their 360 tour.  2 stages.

[gcluskey]

I recently wrote a letter to the company who run the concerts at Slane Castle, I effectively used hyperbole and stated there would be a great demand for Guns N' Roses, I explained the release of their latest album, the recent "Chinese Democracy World Tour", and reiterated the memories from 1992. Hopefully I've left a mark in their minds and this whole thing pans out nicely.

So did I, that's mad, would be great! At least we put it out there to them. I hope they return to Slane, really do
