Exactly, they're no H&H, they're not even in the same league as them. I'd want a top support band, no offence to Glyder but they're just not 'top' enough

metzengerstein

deftones that would be an outrage,not even are they in any way in the same league as h+h but maiden aswell,and i think they would be booed and heckeld which i think would only be fair

as for glyder,for me great band but imo they may aswell be the new lizzy
no offence ment by the way to the band

id expect a big name up there now as im very dispointed going now .

I suppose your right.For 65 quid theyd want to match H & H.

Unfortunately i can't see us getting any decent sized support band, the best we can hope for is somebody like Glyder.
IMO MCD have nearly sold out this gig, therefore they've made there money, now say for example they were paying H&H 50,000 euro to perform (purely a guess on my part there), now that H&H have cancelled they no longer have to pay that.
They could offer Glyder 5k to play and have an extra 45k in there arse pockets, and it's all totally legal and above board.

****ty i know, but i reckon that's the way it'll play out :mad::mad:

I'm sure they'll least one band from Sonisphere over. The only seemingly compatible and available band that would be around the same tier as Heaven and Hell is Mötley Crüe, but as you say, MCD may settle with a smaller act.

If we got Anthrax, now with the news that Belladonna has rejoined the group, that would be very cool.

Any chance Dream Theater will come to Europe too?

Thoughts and prayers are with RJD and his family tonight, the great man is seriously ill in L.A, not dead as per rumours going around the interweb

furiousox

Its been confirmed by his wife Wendy on ronniejamesdio.com that he has died.
Very sad, one of THE great rock vocalists, remember seeing him in the SFX back in the day.

RIP Ronnie

A Message From Wendy Dio5/16/2010 2:51:50 PM "Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45am 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private good-byes before he peacefully passed away. Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all. We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us. Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss. Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever." Love, Wendy

grimm2005

wow, that's messed up. I figured his doctors had decided he needed more time to recover following the cancellations but things really must have taken a turn for the worse.

RIP RJD

That's so sad, very unexpected that it was so quick in the end.

Ross Mc

i'm shocked that he is gone, was so looking forward to maiden but was even more happy to find out that heaven and hell were supporting, so sad now . gonna still be cool with maiden but even if heaven and hell get a replacement singer, isn't gonna be as good as dio

Ross Mc

I think the answer should take h & h's place, if we gonna have an irish band might as well have a good one

The Answer/Glyder

Then H&H replacement

Then Maiden

Grid.

any news yet on a replacement??????

Someone said to me Dream Theater are touring with them for a set period right up until like 10 days before the Dublin show. Gutted when I heard that. Seeing them live here would be a sight to behold alright.

Dream Theater are special guests to Iron Maiden on their North American leg but I don't believe they have any plans to come to Europe this summer.

scudzilla

I am still pretty shocked how Heaven & Hell's management booked a summer full of dates, given the seriousness of Ronnie's illness. Ronnie truly loved his fans and for the guy to have that sort of pressure on him in his last days must have been horrible.
Somebody needs there feckin arse kicking.

I was wondering the same thing but surely there was a mutual agreement to go ahead with touring in the first place? Seemed like his condition took a severe turn for the worse.

I'm sure Ronnie and the rest of the band would have agreed with it, don't you think ?

The reports were suggesting that his cancer was improving very goo.

I think Dio himself decided to book them cause if not, would have seemed pesemistic

jack presley

Are there many out there who bought tickets specifically to see H&H and who don't care too much for Maiden?
