I'd go but I hate the O2 with a passion. Also, come on, no chance I'm paying 60 euro.

That's your loss then, i've been to hundreds of gigs since the mid 80's and Rammstein 5 yrs ago in Birmingham is in the top 3, if ever a band was worthy of a 60euro ticket then it's these guys

what's wrong with the o2? It's not often I hear people give out about it.

Shreddingblood

It's too big. If you're sitting on the balcony you're too far away. It's too warm during the summer.(I'd say about 40 people fainted at Maiden last year) Finally..... they sell popcorn and snacks of that ilk........ at metal concerts, unthinkable. This in particular annoys the hell out of me.

That's two out of three gripes sorted straight away

Two out of four.

You only mentioned 3

Here's a 3rd solution - bring ham sandwiches so that you don't have to buy popcorn or "snacks of that ilk".

Remember, a lot more goes on in the O2 besides metal gigs!

I said it was too big as well, and it is, for metal shows anyway. Another problem I have is you have to share the Luas back with culchies and nordies who have nothing better to do but b**ch about how crap Dublin is. Not that I have a problem with either group but come on, you're in the capital show a bit of respect. For some reason culchies become weird when they reach the "big shmoke"

Back on topic, I tend not to eat at metal gigs, being a traditionalist and I would nearly start a fight with a f***er for eating a bucket of popcorn at a metal gig. It's unnatural and quite frankly unnerving. I know that other stuff goes on in the O2 but they could close the popcorn place for metal gigs. Or maybe they leave it open for profiling purposes.

Add the price of beer to the list too.

you're right Shreddingblood, you should stay home that night, you'd not enjoy it.

You won't be able to smoke your pipe in there either and you might get your foot broken if you wear your slippers

Been to 2 gigs in the O2 (Rush and Roger Waters), don't think I saw a single person eating popcorn.

Both were fantastic shows in terms of sound and effects and can't wait to see what Rammstein will deliver there.

Instead we might make our own popcorn by throwing kernels into the air during Feuer Frei!

Shreddingblood

Now that I would approve of.

FFS!!!! After Hours is there if ya want to have a bitch about culchies and Nordies...

would ya rather if the O2 was in Leitrim then so they'd love it and you wouldn't hear a bit of bitching at all no doubt then you'd be bitching that it was ridiculous to put the O2 down in the middle of nowhere but anyways... if it was down the country you'd have the Dubs bitching that the countryside is ****e...


basically you don't like the O2 because

seats are too far away from stage
they sell popcorn
it's too warm
culchies are nordies have to come to Dublin and they annoy you


seriously like... come on

Shreddingblood

Nope I'd actually like it if the midlands or border counties had a decent venue. It would create jobs and a bit of entertainment to a pretty much neglected region.
Crap, off topic, Mein Herz Brent. That's better.

My heart burns too from reading your posts

Got my standing tickets today.... Ticketmaster have some still available if anyone is looking for some.

blastman

Yep, just back from getting my standing ticket in Ticketb@stard, and saved myself 4 quid by not buying them online to boot.

entropi

Tickets collected as of 10 mins ago

Lady at the desk said they still have lots of standing left btw

MetzgerMeister

Good news - Combichrist will NOT be on the Made in Germany tour. No support has been confirmed yet.

I seen them around 6yrs ago and they never had a support so don't be disappointed if there isn't one

That would be deadly.

When I saw them in '05 Apocalyptica were supporting but I missed seeing them due to staying in a pub too long

They were one of the bands who started NDH in the late 80's. People say that Ruoska (Finnish Industrial band) copy Rammstein. If that's the case, Rammstein copied Oomph! Check out their songs Keine Luft Mehr and Augen Auf.

KMFDM or MegaHerz would be welcome support acts.

If they were supporting, it would probably be the most epic gig ever. Apocalyptica are insanely good live.

MetzgerMeister

Actually, I think Eisbrecher would be a much better support band. Megaherz kinda went downhill when Alexx left.
