I wish people would give up on a Big 4 show this summer, it ain't gonna happen

Why not? They're all playing in Donington in June. It's just a matter of them hopping across the water.

Don't know if it's been posted but I heard from a friend that Metallica's setlist at the Sonisphere this year will be the entire Black Album.

Cos they're not all playing in Donington, only one of them are. And come to think of it, they won't all be, cos they would definitely bill iit as the 'big 4'. Plus it wouldn't come close to selling out.

Forgot they added. But Slayer playing London a week or so before, would they really do it? Be odd having the four of them and not on the same day.

scudzilla · 21-01-2012 10:11pm

I don't think Megadeth are around are they?

As for The Big 4, it was cool when it happened but that's it now, it's been done, they'll all be moving on, the last thing they want is to be expected to put on a Big 4 show every time they hit Europe.

The best yer gonna get i think is Jason joining them for a few songs at Donington

Megadeth are playing Graspop with Anthrax, but I really hope they don't announce them for Download, because we've had the Big 4 and that's done now so let's spread the bands about and get some new acts or acts who haven't toured in a while - like TOOL

Really wouldn't mind seein Megadeth again personally. Really enjoyed their Soni set last year. Rock im Park hopefully.

It's not gonna happen, if there was any chance at all of us having a date they would have made it the day before or day after there UK appearance, can't have it the day after as they're in Austria, day before would mean them doing 3 consecutive nights in seperate venues, which they don't do any more, haven't for years.

It won't be at the start of the tour as logistically thats daft, bringing all yer gear to central europe, then pop it off to Ireland, then back to Central Europe.

If ya wanna see them then Ryanair is your friend i'm afraid

They could play Ireland Thursday 7th June, there playing Denmark on the 6th June and the gig before that is on 2nd June. My point been they wont be playing 3 nights in a row.

If you were going to pick holes in the post I'd have gone for the misuse of "there"

Sent an email to info@metclub.com and was told in reply, that there is nothing planned for an Irish gig this time round.

So there we have it, not entirely surprising

Those money hungry föcks are hardly gonna play in a stoney broke country?

That is actually the truth

Beekay · 24-01-2012 10:37pm

TBH, I don't really mind! After the amount they have played here and I have seen them in the last 10 years a bit of break from Ireland will be good. Now if they booked a gig I'd still go cause I couldn't resist!!

Not meaning to be smart Mickey but i doubt they'll tell if they did have something planned and ruin a potential surprise announcement.

Don't see an Irish date this time around myself. A combination of multiple visits in recent years and the current economic climate will have put an end to that i reckon. If it was an indoor arena tour we'd get a visit but the market for an outdoor show and €70+ tickets just isn't there to make it worthwhile.

Mental Mickey · 27-01-2012 2:25pm

Two more announcements to be added to the schedule. Just announced on their website.

Motley Crue · 27-01-2012 2:47pm

Well I'll see them at Download and with GNR heading back here I doubt that there will be much room to pay Metallica for their services as well

Indeed, but I think Metallica's last two dates are Finland and Spain, they've been confirmed on Blabbermouth for both of those countries version of Sonisphere

Bah.

lord lucan · 27-01-2012 5:06pm

Could be tempted to make a run to Madrid for the Sonisphere date. Seen them at Rock In Rio there 2 years ago and enjoyed the concert experience. Good weather,great facilities and great atmosphere all round.:)

feylya · 27-01-2012 9:17pm

Tickets bought for the France gig. €50 for standing

Motley Crue · 31-01-2012 3:32pm

I look forward to Download, I think that's the closest we were ever going to get, especially given the amount of Irish/Scottish/Welsh who buy tickets to Download and Sonisphere...your unlikely (given the current financial climate) to see them play a Summer gig outdoors in Dublin

That said, indoors in the Winter perhaps, that I'd pay to see

**** that...VICAR STREET, DECEMBER 2012....METALLICA....what I wouldn't give to read that headline...you'd have to kill me to stop me attending....
