    I'm on the bus Limerick to Dublin, a shout of "Slaaaaayyyyyyyyeerrrr" would probably get 50% join in rate from other passengers :)

    proper old school with Obituary on the bill.
    Would have preferred Anthrax be given more time over LoG. Never got into them.
    After Metallica in Slane next year my young lad will have seen the Big 4 before he's 13 :)
    Not too shabby

    Par for the course tbh. Unfortunately I'm gonna miss Obituary as I couldn't get out of work early. PITA but hopefully Slayer and LOG make up for it.

    I’m in the green room bar if anyone wants the ticket anyway. It’s right next to the 3 arena.

    Probably that it would be cheaper as it would be harder to shift closer to the gig.

    Should be a great one anyway; devastated to be missing it.

    2hrs before doors open, not fussed about going, if it was around €30 I'd have it, but sure, better for seller to have an unused ticket in pocket at end of night :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Not really, only interested in Slayer and IMO they're not worth the guts of €80 (parking/petrol incl.), not forcing anyone to sell just asked the price

    Really enjoyed Anthrax

    Have to laugh people queuing for the ages at the bars outside the seating areas but just take a short walk down the steps and the bars down there are really quite

    Back now, left after LoG. Spent the Anthrax set getting merch and a few casual drinks but what I heard was good and the crowd seemed to be really into it. Merch was more expensive than usual at €35 a t-shirt. Tough buy but LoG are one of the few bands I actually care about.

    Shame about the 45 minute set but at least the sound was on point for a change. Most gigs at 3 Arena you can't hear the vocals at all but fortunately they could be heard tonight.

    Genuinely surprised at how big the crowd was tonight, I've never seen such a big crowd in there. Went into the pit and when someone went down we picked them up. Hopefully a good time had by all.

    Went upstairs to the ATM and the mid-level floor between seating and standing had a merch stand and bar that were empty. Happy days.

    Knackered now, Chinese on the way :)

    Hopefully everyone had a good night and a safe journey home!

    Left just after Raining Blood to avoid the throng at the luas. Decent show. I was seated in block d and the sound I didn't think was great for LOG or Slayer, vocals for Slayer were completely unhearable in parts which is ass. Still, glad to see em one last time and to see their full stage show, well worth the entry.

    On the luas. Jammed. Went in half way thru anthrax. Dont know any of their tunes. Best part was domination outro :p. Log were class. Great setlist for 40 min. Sounded good. Wish they played longer - no faded line, hourglass or 11th hour but thats the only complaint i have :D

    Slayer sounded great too . Guitars and bass maybe a bit muffled from where i was (section n). Clear vocals. Did they mess up disciple in the second verse? Sounded like they did to me. Seasons and reign in blood sounded unreal. No encore, unless i missed it! Good night.

    Really enjoyed the gigs tonight

    Obituary were good but tbh never heard of them before they were announced on the bill. Not a fan of there light show

    Went there mainly for Anthrax and was not disappointed. Great set but surprised they don't some of there main hits so early in the set

    Lamb of God were ok but as with Obituary didn't knw much about them only by name. Not a fan of that kind of music but nice to see them live after watching the As the palace burns doc yesterday

    Slayer are trash gods for a reason and I saw it first hand tonight why. Amazing set full of energy and passion. I would of loved to see the original line-up

    Overall good day and back to the 3arena 2more times this year for rather different gigs (u2 and Def Leppard) but for my metal side roll on Jan Ozzy and Judas Priest

    Last time I saw slayer was 1994 and they're as intense as ever, that was brilliant. Not too many bands can live up to Slayer live IMHO.
    I was sitting in section a though and the sound was a bit **** as well, terrible for anthrax, bit better for LoG and OK for slayer. Always the same in 3 arena, you'd think they'd get their **** together.
    Got on the luas fairly quickly :)

    Sound was a bit ropey alright. It was excellent in the same venue last Sunday for Van and Robert Plant. But Madatory Suicide, Hell Awaits and Chemical Warfare...there is only one Slayer. Crowd was gas, one scuffle almost becoming a fight and security turning up five minutes later like spanners, mosh pits trying to break out, drink getting thrown around and a few lads openly doing coke or speed that wouldn't stop talking after a line. Still though, mad seeing how thrash bands I grew up going to see and listening to 30 years ago in much smaller venues can still draw in large crowds and get them going.

    Sounded like they may have fecked disciple up alright but held it together well.

    Great gig. Missed Obituary but log and anthrax exceeded my expectations. No issue with luas in or out either!
