Have to disagree with the sound there. The only things wrong with AIC was the vocals being too low and the bass being too loud. I didnt see Mastadon so I don't know. With A7X the bass drums where too loud and sounded like a rumble with the double kick, you couldn't hear the snare either. The backing vocals couldn't be heard and the guitars where way too low. Both rythm and when he solo'd.
When was the last time you saw them live? I wont have a good opinion of them live until I see them again under good sound conditions tbh.
Of real music? Are you serious? Music is subjective. For you to say what's real music is really arrogant of you. And too use that as an excuse to throw things and hurl abuse at people is really awful.
Also, Im no where near an emo and I like them. But I also like music you like aswell, so am I not a fan of "real music"?
The drum issues began with AIC. The snares werent audible at all for a start. Mastodon had issues with the support mic's and several guitar pick ups
What do you mean when was the last time I saw them live? I never saw A7X live before, and hopefully never will again.
Yes. real music. It is subjective, but IMO there is no credible comparison between bands like A7X, slipknot, bullet for my valentine, MCR etc etc and Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera etc. Its just poser rock, kids normally grow out of it and move onto real music (or whatever term you want to use) between the ages of 16-19.
In the end, each to their own, if you want to listen to A7X more power to you, but for the love of god I hope another metallica gig isnt ruined by putting them as support again

on another note.. Is there anyway to find out how many people were there? I know ya man shadows said 45,000. But its its difficult to believe considering last year had an attendence of 30-35 thousand and that was considered sold out. And for people wanting to know how Ive managed to think last year was sold out is because when i got into Dublin I was met with a load of Metallica posters with a massive sticker across reading "Sold Out"
looks a good amount :pac:

I thought so. A few people have come on here and said they were very entertaining and did well even with the bad sound.
Poser rock? lol The funny thing is when thrash metal came out with slayer and metallica and that, there were more than likely ppl giving out about them in the same way because they were used to other music and it only appealed to the teenagers of that generation.
Exactly, each to their own, that's what ive been trying to get to but you obviously don't go by that if you boo and abuse the band trying to ruin it for other people.
ha So you felt let down and dissapointed when you left the gig because A7X played?0 -

I suggest a read of the below. It summarises how i feel. I really am growing tired of this now, one cannot discuss music with an A7X fan. Its like talking to a virtual brick walllankysexybeast wrote: »i have no problem with any band or style of music except missy eliot and 50 cent :mad: but yesterday i realised what it is that i hate about a.s.f. it's not there music i could just ignore that, it's the persona that they try to build up around themselves. they make out that there the ****. they try to make out that that synister fagot is an amazing guitarist whos in his own leage HE"S NOT every solo is the exact same formula, a deminished arpegio followed by big slides and a random bit of shred. then they have the band as a whole who try to make out that they are he cool rock stars like the old days and that there a bit mad. your not!! known of the people who had the reputation that your trying to build for yourselves dressed up and made sure that not one hair was out of place. i saw them yesterday and the singer put on an Irish gersie,:mad: ok this i could let go because i was a fair bit away and didn't have to listen to them. but then they pulled a little 12 year old onto the stage to play walk!!!! firstly who the f@ck do they think they are playing walk at that type of gig, secondly if your gonna get the crowd to sing it get someone who's voice has broken and thirdly don't cut the song in half that is in my opinion an insult to Dime. as far as i was concerned they molested it. I always ask what have these people done for the world well i'll tell you when there dead. i say give them there 16 gun sollut now but line them up and aim it at them!!!grames_bond wrote: »absolute posers....bunch of muppets and pathetic excuse for music.....lets be honest have you heard the bands names?- M.

epic rant
Hate these fcukers.. ruined a great gig yesterday! They look like a group of 12 year olds that just walked into asha. Poser rock at its worst.
Their songs dont even mean anything, its just random "lets throw in a few deadly sounding words" and see if some 12-15 year old girls like us.

Highlight of their set i think.
Whoever put them on the bill yesterday is fcuking stupid, the majority of their fans are nothing like the people that liked the other bands there. There are so many bands of equal or less popularity that would have loved to tour with Metallica, and would've been better for the metallica fans but no, they pick the guys with the stupid stage names.

It said in the paper that there was 20,0000 -

yeah that would seem about right when compared to last year.
Im hearing they might be going indoors next year but up in belfast. Its a shame cause I probably wont go to that. Way too much hassle to try get up there.Easier to fly to germany and see them at rock am ring If its true its a pitty. Dont quite understand people from the north who complain like mad in having to go down to dublin. They dont seem to realise its worse for us in the south. 0 -

Well I won't mind giving Metallica a miss next year if Rammstein come to Dublin.0 -
Nonsense. You think it's a hassle to get to Belfast? Where in Ireland are you based?The Frayed Ends wrote: »Im hearing they might be going indoors next year but up in belfast.

I don't complain about having to go to Dublin. It's not that far and I'd rather go to Dublin than head to England or somewhere else to see Metallica. Fact is, a gig in Belfast is long overdue and having one there wouldn't make much of a difference to a real Metallica fan.0 -

You don't just discuss music with ppl who agree with you.
This wasn't about a kind of music it was about the whole demeanour of people who boo, throw stuff at bands and basically being idiots.
If you don't like a band DONT WATCH THEM. Go and enjoy yourself doing something else.
I'd like to think that I know just as much about music as you do. So please don't generalise me as an A7X fan and that's all.
And I do agree with you about what you said about people growing out of them. I used to be a big fan of them but I stopped listening to them loads but I still enjoy their songs. That's mainly down to how I go through phases of listening to one band in particular loads.
There just seems to be this way of thinking amongst some people around today where all ppl can listen to is the Metal bands from the 80's and early 90's, everything else is ****e. What makes it worse is that they feel the need to force it on to ppl, I can't stand it.
The likes of what happened in the 80's isn't going to be seen again IMO.
Stop being so closed minded.
Anyway, I want to stop this aswell ha. Clogging up a thread

thought the gig in general was cool! alice in chains were GREAT!!!!! mastodon were quite cool too but avenged sevenfold??!! really?? i mean iv liked a couple of their songs before but performance wise they are one of the worst bands ever!!! they look like posey ****ers that everyone likes because they sound like everyone mixed together, badly! i usually dont mind some crap music lol but they were taking the biscuit, seriously!
Metallica, seeing them for the 4th year so far, were quite good! they did play the about the same lineup as usual but with a couple of new ones! the atmosphere was electric, as always though, which i think makes the show too!
heard theyre playing only in Belfast next year
might head over with the OH, maybe. 0 -

I will just say this - I didnt pay to see avenged sevenfold, and i'll be damned if im giving up my place in the pit 2 rows from the stage to see metallica ,just to not watch some emo band playing. I didnt have a choice but to watch them! Maybe thats why it aggracvated me.
ANYWAY!
The stage was definetly closer to the tower this year than last year. That in addition to waiting no more than 10 mins for a bus home would suggest to me a largely smaller crowd than last year. I'd wager 30-35,000 at most.0 -
I did think the crowd was better this year then last though.:pac: The mosh pits were much bigger and pretty violent haha. Ive also never seen so many ****ers crowd surf. Good laugh trying to pick a few of the heavier lads up only to watch them fall right down further up when people couldnt hold em haha 0
