    Generally yes, it'd take a fierce storm to have it called off, maybe a little less. If it's just moderate rain it'll still go ahead, it might be a dampener for some but actually I don't mind it too much. You'll quickly forget about the rain and it cools you down as well! :D

    sunny with the odd occasional light shower is perfect gig weather imo

    seems to me like Slane better watch out for ye!

    Quick question, what were GnR like live back in the day?

    Something else, wasn't the original line up in Slane as Adler had already left, but still something to behold, ya never knew what would happen wit them.

    Seen the originals at Donington in 88, they were booked in the Feb as a second opener on the bill, to play at 2pm, by the time the gig came round in August they were massive, but stayed second as the line up was steller.

    They expected 72,500 people but 107,000 turned up and seemingly all of them were watching GnR at 2pm.

    2 fans died in the crush at the front :(:(

    awesome post!

    I'd say they must have been fantastic. they were a cocky bunch but had so much confidence and swagger when they played. Brute force id imagine. Twas great that the bands popularity exploded and everybody made it for the "matinee"
    show :D

    A very exciting time to be a rock fan in those days.

    Are you looking forward to checking out Eminem?

    I concur 100% but if you go with an open mind you'll witness a fantastic show I promise you that. I would consider going if I didnt have a wedding on that weekend tbh and rap is nowhere near any of my playlists.

    We should probably take this conversation elsewhere before some Swedish House Mafia fans roll on up here and stab us for no apparent reason

    This intrigues me. If that was the case why come on here just to say that? I mean I dont like say Metallica so I would skip a thread on them rather than just waste space with your type of post?

    I never came on here to just say that, a guy asked about GnR at Slane so i replied, in his reply to me he asked if i was gonna go see Eminem, to which i replied, so no, i didn't come here just to wind people up, i leave that for AH ;)

    Can you bring yer own or whats the story? :)

    Not a hope in hell.
    And i'd imagine there'll be strict searches. Either drink before you head, or have ID to buy inside :)

    Not a hope you can bring alcohol in, will prob be searched going in too, bag searches, quick frisking etc.. And, apparently, your only allowed to bring water if you take the cap off the bottle!!Personally, I wont be drinking alcohol to avoid going to the bathroom too often :p

    The cap thing is nothing new, been done at gigs for years :)

    For anyone who is going from Dublin to the gig. I e-mailed Dublin Bus about bus times and prices. this is a link and the reply they sent me:

    http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Getting-To-Events/Eminem-at-Slane-Castle-17th-August-2013/

    Dublin Bus: "Tickets for €20.00 have to be purchased before the day of concert from Dublin Bus . Tickets purchased on the day will be €25.00. You cannot pay the driver on the day, you have to purchase the ticket from our office at 59 Upr O’Connell St. before boarding ."

    Ticketmaster charge €2.50 per ticket so not really any point in buying them there imo, just get them in the office on the way up to parnell sq.
