They didnt sell out Marley which is less than half the capacity of Slane, they'd need a load of support and even still..

Bookies have Coldplay as favourites for Slane 2019, followed by Radiohead and The Killers. Fleetwood Mac also listed. Metallica not in top 5.

Was going through this the other night, it's been said a major band who hasn't played there will play, Coldplay have supported there before , will the killers come back after playing the RDS this June , I was really just hoping its Metallica , highly doubt it though but as i said to the gf people go to Slane just cause its Slane, so it might still sell well with just Metallica

Make of the info what ye will !

Also, consider the following publicly known info:
Metallica are due to start their Euro tour in May and Lord Henry Mountcharles has confirmed that a major band (that has not played Slane before) is going to play an early June show.

Could it possibly be Metallica??
(The answer is yes, 'cos they're booked to play there!)

But, what we want to know, is how do you know?

All you are doing is adding 2+2 = Metallica in Slane !

Paddy Casey is touring next year, and he has never played Slane .......... :rolleyes:

People even go mental for Garth Brooks so while I say they wouldn't sell it out I would be surprised either. Foo Fighters drew 60k when they headlined who wouldnt be that popular.

Source? As much as I'd love it to happen, I doubt it will.....? They're just not big enough to fill a place like Slane.

Remember for years the ACDC rumours, and that never happened.

Anyone want my Metallica cds for cheap? If so, pm.

James can't really sing anymore. I wouldn't want to go to a concert because of his voice. Get Marianne Faithful on lead vocals permanently.

New evidence of early Metallica uncovered ;-)

Seeing as there's nothing going on with the band right now, Chris Jericho did a podcast with Ron McGovney recently, linked below.

Interview itself starts at 3:43 for those wanting to get right to it, and not listen to Jericho's rambling.

Ron McGovney is the original Metallica bassist, and it was his garage that not only hosted auditions for the band but also served as their first rehearsal space! Ron recounts how he met James Hetfield in junior high, what happened to their highschool band, Leather Charm, his first introduction to drummer Lars Ulrich (and what he thought when he heard Lars play), and how Dave Mustaine ended up in Metallica. He also shares details about Metallica’s first couple of live shows (including playing with Saxon at the Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip), how and why Ron was replaced by Cliff Burton, what his relationship with Mustaine was like during and after their days in Metallica, and how his friendship with James has survived over the years. Plus, Ron was at Metallica’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and joined them onstage for their big 30th Anniversary concert in San Francisco!

That’s a great interview, thanks for posting. He comes across like a very decent bloke with no regrets.

Ron was great, very interesting chap. It's like his version of events brings everyone else's version back to reality!

As for jericho..
"Ron we'll talk about the dynamic within Metallica after I tell you the dynamic in my band fozzy is awesome because of ddt yoga" and then a 3min ad for yoga..

Also stumbled on this when I found the Jericho/McGovney interview, soundboard from the Los Angeles show in September 1992, with John Marshall filling in for James on guitar...

The only downside to Jericho's podcast for me, and probably other podcasts as well, the obvious break in the interview to shill/advertise something..

I gave up listening to Podcast One Podcasts for this very reason.

He and JR jumped from Podcast One, but that's neither here nor there.. Don't know how bad the ads are on Westwood One for them..

MCD's Instagram a/c yesterday posted a live Metallica video from earlier this year, and today a James RTL Q&A link... are they teasing an (MCD promoted) Metallica Ireland gig for Summer 2019, or is it just a couple of random posts that mean nothing?????

Now let's play the guess the venue game again...

With a really good support line up, they may just about trickle to a respectable crowd at Lansdowne Road.

Is the RDS closed next summer for refurbishment?

Question is, if they are coming back and (this isn't just someone using the MCD Facebook page to have a bit of fun at our expense), who could they potentially announce as supports?
