Just got tickets for London through axs. Ticketmaster are a disgrace.

Ticketmaster get a tiny allocation for the Manchester Arena and the O2 ,the bulk goes to Eventim and AXS.

Its a waste of time buying tickets for big events at those venues on Ticketmaster ,will be sold out in minutes.

They only used that for 3 one off gigs in Copenhagen so they might improve it by the time they start the proper Euro tour.
They will surely have to add some video screens .

They do seem to change it around a bit. There seems to be 3 categories of songs.

- the old reliables (always played and almost always on the same spot in the set)
- a few songs from the new album
- the interchangeable songs that a few are played each night.

No doubting there commitment and dedication but sometimes I find these Superfans a bit smug with there roll call system for barrier positions, know it all band knowledge etc

There addicts

Their superfans are also bloody boring, they're a great band, but I don't wanna see virtually the same set night after night. Their best is long past them but I would like to see them again, once would be enough for me

Yes, i agree .
I think they look like a band going through the motions, from their (seemingly scripted) Adlibs between songs, to the 95% always the same set lists ...
I see Megadeth are on tour also ... :P

Anyway .... Bang the head that doesnt bang ...

jack presley

They probably always 'scripted' the in-between song banter but before YouTube and camera phones we didn't see it. I wonder was there much spontaneity back in good old days?

I met a few at a festival in Belgium a few years back. I cant remember how many shows they had been to, but it was 100+

These guys were in their 50s, and you have never met religious people who are as defensive of their faith as these guys were of the band! It was funny and sad in equal measure!

theres no doubt the importance of this band to the world of metal, but there are tons of equally as good, if no better bands out there now. ive seen metallica nearly 10 times now, seeing them over and over on the same tour would bore the life out of me

The sad thing is that they actually count the number of times they have seen a band.
Its like a badge that they wear, "I've seen them 67 times","oh Ive seen them 79 times".
Seriously who the hell keeps count of how many times they have seen a band play ??

I might go and see a band twice on a tour especially if they mix the setlist up but that's rare enough these days.
Most acts shows are heavily choreographed and set in stone ,even the jokes or chatter are the same .
I suppose its a nice way to tour Europe ,going around to different cities and gigs ,but its very expensive and I can think of better ways to spend my money.

gucci

Yep I actually had to scratch my head to figure out how many times I had seen them live (which I think was 4 (5th time at that festival)) but even at that I knew practically every lighting and firework que for each song and practically what song would follow next!!

They always put on a good show, but yes, I would personally prefer to watch different bands and festivals.

Is anyone else going to Birmingham?

wolfyboy555

Yup. Looking forward to it. I would imagine security will be ramped up.
