Its going to be truely historic. This will be the one that will always be remembered. U2 - the home coming.

The mere thought is sending shivers down my spine.

Be prepared.

Bad news, i heard today the Foo Fighters won't be playing, something to do with the drummer. I feel sorry for you, the foo's gig in the olympia was the best gig i've ever gone to; you're missing out on something special.

Sliotar

yep cant wait to see rhcp... cant wait to fall asleep durin coldplay... cant wait to throw stuff at kelees (or whatever her name is, why the fv<k is she there again?)

Xithus

Yea, I heard about it today.. They were the only reason I was going.. paid £115 fo the ticket and all..
Seriously, I think ive lost faith in the band.. bono's da dies, he still plays.. taylor gets drunk all euro dates cancelled.
I am to say the least very p**sed off.
Im D/L ur next album dammit !

Xithus

btw, any idea whose replac'n the foos ? Probably some stupid f**king britpop band, travis or coldplay, uhhhhhh. ffs.

Sliotar

Oasis were in talks to do it, wanted to do it but decided against it because they're going to headline next years. Apparently they've two new albums worth of material and they intend making big waves.

The band now in talks to replace the Foo's are Ash. Talks are going well. Expect an announcement soon.

P.S. All Oasis fans, sorry for jumping the gun on that one.

(Under pressure so have to be naughty and go off topic) I need to swap one ticket for tommorows gig for the 1st September.

More info

Cheers

po0k

I was all ready to go to Slane, had three phones rining tcket numbers at 6:50 that morning.....fu<king U2....woulda had a hell of a lot less gob****es trying to get tickets if it wasn't for them. GRRRRRRRR
Can't stand Bono. And wtf is this <rap about the 'Homecoming Tour'? half the band is English. They have played other Irish gigs (I think) and they don't live in Slane. So wtf?
Moan b1tch whinge etc. etc.
Still would jump at the chance of tickets though.
One last thing. BYOB. Or naggins.

amp

Right so, couldn't swap it so I'm going tommorow. Leds give us a call when your there: 086 8269313

I can give one person a lift if they need it from Dublin but I'll be leaving really early.

http://www.mcd.ie/slane/slane.html has some crappy flash info btw.

Id rather peal my skin off and roll around in salt than listen to oasis live.
Only 2 bands could replace the foos.. Pearl Jam, or metallica. Ash arent too bad.. Really, REALLY, Wanted to see the foos though, Im f**king gutted.

Snaga

An excellent gig, chillies were great, U2 were fantastic, slane is an amazing venue, just so many people having a great time in one place

The 6/7 mile walk(from the field itself) to get a bus due to the fupped up one way system was a bit annoying (got into town at 4am, gig finished just before 11) but not enough to mar the rest of the day.

scuzzy

The line-up (according to u2.com) is as follows...
Dara, The Walls, Nelly Retardo (hehe, good one), Moby, Ash and... eh... hmmm...
BTW Xithus, you interested in selling your ticket???

Xithus

nah, I think Ill keep my ticket and go Twas to good to be true, U2 and the f.fighters.. I should have known somthing would happen.
So its 100% on Ash replacing em now.. yea ? (secretly hoped they'd appear )

amp

Truly it was an excellent gig. Especially as I got into the central pit.

You ****ing *******ing ****ing ****ing ****ing jammy feicer Amp!

I couldn't get in after waiting for an hour at the railing (from 11:15 to 12:15).

I'm so badly sunburnt it's not funny. I had a great day though - Chillis RULED! U2 were also very good. Relish set me in a good mood for the day - good "feel good" uplifting kinda music to start the day.

This concert was incredible.

Coldplay were surprisingly tight and can do live what they do on their album, shame I don't like more songs than Shiver, Trouble, and that other one..('We live in a beautiful world...')...

RHCP fúcking rocked, an always excellent band, played all the favourites...and basically hopped around like the Chillis always do... after them, I wanted to go home...having never seen U2 before, and never thinking they were as good as some other musical artists I like.

Still I held on, only to be blown away by the biggest band in the world. Now I know why people call them that...and it's not for the music they put on their albums. If anyone else hasn't seen U2 play live, beg, steal and borrow to get a ticket for this week's one. It's an experience you'll never forget...

Chillis, 'Higher Ground', 40 thousand people, (out of 80 thousand), swinging their tops above their heads...helicopter style, never forget that.

U2's opener, 'Elevation', never forget that either, 80,000 people jumping up and down...

This concert was different to previous Slane events in so many ways, and it's likely to be repeated this Saturday coming.

Words just don't express it...
