    GAA heads allowing 80,000 metallers run amok would love to see the day but it's a non runner I'm afraid.

    I can't see much of a problem with Metallica fans, a lot of them would be ex-gaa players in some form or another in their late thirties by now with a semi-discerning taste in music. Most of whom would have moved on from Metallica and would go to the gig with a nostalgic and fairly laid back attitude.

    They'll be dying to go home for a glass of Merlot and some goats cheese with a light pickle on a low GI cracker!

    Agreed. They'd be music aficionados, gig goers, people familiar with the things that go hand in hand with concerts, they'd act appropriately, appreciate that if "this goes well, there may be more". They'd recognise the territory, won't get blind drunk as, if they did, they'd miss the gig, they'd be respectful of property because they have probably seen the repercussions of misbehavior at other gigs. They'd respect other concert goers. They'd have a bit of class.

    Didn't you have tickets to two nights to see Garth Brooks last year? Before it was cancelled.

    Continue with the other bitter residents talking about how great other bands fans are and garth brooks fans are scum of the earth but you're talking about yourself.

    :D:D:D:D:D:D

    I've never denied having tickets to the gig, I've also never denied not thinking much about Garth Brooks as a person or thinking that a lot of his fans acted like at best children, at worst scum after the gigs got cancelled.

    But I've been on this roundabout before so I'm gonna get off.

    can't tell if that's sarcasm above, or someone who genuinely doesn't think that Metallica at Croker would be full of pissed-up lads in their late 30s/40s trying to re-live their youth....

    I'm glad you admitted it yourself, being a Garth Brooks fan, going two nights yourself and looking forward to it, that it was you causing the trouble for your Dublin neighbours.

    I don't think its today. There's nothing from Aiken or MCD about an announcement today.

    His stage is in storage here, could be. Doubt they will attempt the same as last year. It would be a maximum of two concerts though.

    But it was Peter McKenna of Croke Park saying something that they're working with the residents, its ongoing, and they would like to see Garth Brooks back to play croke park.

    Could that have been an early hint.

    Its not U2, they are concentrating on doing more intimate venues, so, the biggest arenas they can find basically. Also it'll be Winter when they get here.

    Garth Brooks surely won't play unless he can have a bevy of dates in Croke Park. One, two or three ain't enough for him as proved by the fiasco last year!

    The smart money is on Ed Shearan, I wouldn't have thought a stadium would be the best platform for his music. That brand of cotton pop usually goes down better in arenas or theatres. Ah well fair play to the guy, he seems to have carved out quite a following, I hope it lasts for him beyond the summer.

    Had a quiet morning in work today and the thread isn't very long, took about 2 minutes.

    I got a bit too excited when Dubliner28 suggested Garth Brooks.

    Then I thought of the great idea of two concerts in Croke Park, two or three somewhere else.

    But you're looking at a may or early june concert in croke park.

    By the time tickets go sale for croke park, they realise there's a demand for more, let's have 3 concerts in limerick. And you're into the whole licensing craic again which takes time. The promoters have to get their info together as it goes to the hse, guards, etc which isn't going to take a week or two. Send in their application and then it takes 10 weeks.

    If there's a second venue, they will be pushing it time wise.

    I put to much thought into this, but its not Garth Brooks because he'll need at least 4 nights, and I'm only preparing myself now for the disappointment.

    Considering Noel and Liam still barely talk to each other and Noel is releasing a new album with his new band there's nil chance of this.

    I hope so. I would laugh so much. Put some proper manners on those croke park creatures.

    Screw it, someone said that metallica wouldn't sell it, I would buy a ticket to make up for last years mess, just for the fun of it.
