i think i see why Danzig is propping up the friday's Download '11 bill that Def Leppard tops its likely a wall of slick visuals n top notch sound engineering from their Hysteria heyday which would obviously suit the headline slot.

Not that I'd have a hope in hell of getting to it anyway, but that Download line up is all a bit lightweight, isn't it?
I just discovered from the advertising poster that there's a band called "The Devil Wears Prada"? Who thought that was a good idea? Like calling your new deathgrind band "Love, Actually"?!?!

Star Bingo · 13-03-2011 1:02am

yeah it is. i dunno what the options are in this day n age; there's not even one old school thrash band listed thus far BFMV is the closest thing it seems.

thin lizzy without philo and gary moore are only a poor cover band

A cover band, yes, but poor??? Far from it

I had major doubts when it was announced he was the new singer, i've always like Ricky Warwick, especially The Almighty, but didn't think he'd fit too well into Lizzy.

Been proved wrong though as all reports coming from the recent tour say he's been outstanding

yup the lizzy gig in olympia last month was brilliant. they put on an amazing show.

can't wait for this:)

As great as Gary Moore is/was, he wasn't anywhere near a major part of Thin Lizzy (what, one album isn't it? snowy white was there longer than that..), so I always have to stop and think when people say "half the band is dead"

PTH2009 · 26-05-2011 1:19pm

Anyone know what times the show starts.

Will the show be over by 11.00pm.

Id imagine the show will be like this

7.00-7.40- Thin Lizzy
8.00-9.00- Alice Cooper
9.15-10.50- Def Leppard

I'd say his people will have a seperate area where a M&G would be held. Would probably just be a fluke if you bumped into any other acts. $475 for a M&G though,OUCH!!:eek:

KevLeppard · 30-05-2011 11:14pm

Ah ok, if its just for Alice Cooper only think I will give it a skip.

Would be very tempted to cough up if it was for all 3 bands, altho it would probably mean having a few quiet weekends in!!!!

PTH2009 · 01-06-2011 12:41am

Wonder what Def Leppards set list will be like for the gig next week ??. With Def Leppards new live album Mirrorball to to be released this week. Will the set list be that album in its entirity with maybe 1 or 2 other songs.

Thin Lizzy will only get about 30-45 mins so will probly do the classics such as Boys are back in town, Emerald, Whiskey etc.

Alice Cooper will have a sort enough set probly 1 hour or so. He will probly do the Classics too such as Posion, Schools out etc

Looking forward to the gig coming up from Waterford to it on my own

but

:D

Lemmy Scott · 01-06-2011 11:02am

Bon Jovi than the 29th June.

Went to Rush already

TheoBoone · 01-06-2011 5:39pm

I'm going to this gig alright. Can't wait. I love all three bands, although Def Leppard can be a little bit heavy on the ballads!!!!

I'm just wondering, will thin lizzy still have Scott Gorham when they play. If Gorham and Brian Downey are still in the band then I don't think anyone can call them a covers band.

IanMc666 · 02-06-2011 7:45am

Can't wait for this gig. Third time seeing Leppard!!

Both Brian Downey and Scott Gorham are in the band as well as Darren Wharton. Thats 3 original members.

Just been watching the Theatre of Death 09 tour. Spectacular! If this tour is as awesome as that it may even surpass last year's KISS stage show. And y'all know how much I love KISS!
