class live LOS, hope they play Slane 2012 and are backed by The Foo's and QOTSA again. That would be amazing :eek:

FF are probably bigger than the chilis at the moment

Yea i could'nt see Foo Fighters these days supporting RHCP since are way to big to do it. Maybe if they did a co-headline Slane with Foo's going on last :D:D

freekhead

i dono Chili's have been around alot longer than the Foo's and dont get me wrong i love the Foo's but i think the Chilli's deserve the headline slot. But without a doubt it has to be slane, the hill in slane makes it a perfect amphitheater

Well the first single off the new album has been a huge letdown IMO..

Agreed it is nothing to write home about

Ive just bet 2k with a mate that Foos be bigger than Rhcp now. Then saw last few posts on this thread and laughed.

Will go both but rhcp on a fine line of if i'll ever pay any attention to them again. New single is ok at best. Hope they appear interested this time. Also hope have money for tickets.

Foo Fighters may seem "bigger" in the sense that we're hearing more about them, but they are touring at the moment and have a new album out. Chili Peppers still have seminality and more hit singles in their favour.

Still, even though they've been away for quite awhile, I get the impression that a lot of people are bored of the Chili Peppers. For so long they stuck to stadiums and outdoor shows (in Ireland, at least) and the one time I did see them live nearly ten years ago they struck me as incredibly bland. Maybe they weren't quite ready or suited for the really big shows? I wouldn't consider myself a fan at this stage but I'd say they'd do a much better job indoors in a venue like The O2.

wonder what the new album will be like. I didn't like the last one at all.
I wonder what influence the new guitarist will have on it, seeing as JF is all ove the last few.
Funnily enough, I think One Hot Minute is one of their best albums, (with Dave Navarro)...

Thats great, unfortunately I don't have a Paypal account but whatever day the tickets go on sale I will be up at ticketmaster the morning they go out.

There's an outlet just down the road from me and I find buying tickets in venues much handier than buying them online, as things tend to crash when you book that way.

For those who are wondering about the Foo Fighters and the Chili's playing together there are rumours that they might be playing at the Sonisphere festival in the UK next year.

The organiser said that he was in talks with Dave Grohl and co. and I'm sure they'd try and rope in RHCP as well if they were available.

They announce Irish dates on Monday!

Jimmy Iovine

Would it be worth it pre-ordering the CD and claiming the pre-order code for the concert? I usually buy the CD when it's released, but I really want to go see them so I'm thinking maybe I should order it

They announced on their FB page that they were announcing dates for the UK and Ireland on Monday...

I was going to pre-order the cd but they don't take laser, thankfully my mom is going to do it for me so I can hopefully order the pre-sale tickets whenever they're on sale!

I thought they were only playing one date over here? If they play two I'll have to go to both... :P

Mushy

If they the dates not sure I'll be able go with other gigs on round then. Better chance if its after uk tour.

Definitely do if you don't get it in the next while

Saaron

By the way, does anyone know how/where the pre-sale tickets are going to be sold? I'm guessing it will be online but I can only pay by Laser and many places don't accept laser online. Beginning to worry I'll miss my chance to get tickets :O

Would I be better off buying the dowload version or the Golden Discs version to get the pre-sale code?

zweton

Did ye receive 2 emails,one for the purchase and one with the pre sale code?

Saaron

I don't know about other people but first I got one regarding the purchase of the album, then a few minutes later I got one that contained the pre-sale code.

zweton

Hmmm, got the first one alright...may need to ring them too will give it til monday shur.

I think they may be late because it's the weekend. Deffo call them early Monday morning.

pilot1087

it says it may take 48 hours to receive the code if you ordered at the weekend... so hopefully we'll have it by Monday

What is the cut off date for pre ordering the album via download on the official site? The physical copy Golden Discs route is 1pm tomorrow but I can't find when the cut off time is for the download.

Is it a specific Golden Discs or could it be any one in Dublin?

Not sure but it says that it must be ordered by 1PM tomorrow in order to recieve the pre order code. There are not many Golden Discs still around - the only two I can think of is Jervis St and Dun Laoghaire.

jmc

The Golden Discs order is online.

It's for if you want to get the album on CD as opposed to digital download.
Checked with them and they post the album out to you so it arrives for day of release (aug 26th).
