Will go for the craic.

Spoiler alert:They will.
Great! I'd say 100+ Euro a ticket. Hopefully decent support too.
I'm sure a lot of people that said they wouldn't go will now have to back-track "I seen some of the footage and it was actually good" etc.
I saw them in Prague and Berlin exactly a year ago this week. Both shows were amazing. My mate saw them in Sydney in April and he loved it.
If tickets are a rip off then it's down to MCD or Aiken or whoever is bringing them here. It was €80 including fees for both Berlin and Prague last year and prices seemed to be similar all across Europe.
Anyway I don't really care about the prices ill be going no matter what.
Dublin gig is also a Friday night.
Tickets from €80.25 (including booking fee) for Dublin's 3Arena on 21 February go on sale Friday 21 June at 10am.
I wanted to see them here but they were headlining Knotfest and I wasn't arsed with a day of shite so I skipped it. Hopefully they'll return daynanda for their own shows at some stage.
Seen both shows in Budapest last year and honestly couldn't recommend it more. It's a nostalgia cash trip alright, but they're tight as fuck
My brothers a massive Pantera fan so I'll be going with him. I haven't really bothered with them since I was a young buck but it should be good craic.
Zakk Wylde aside it's been nothing but good reports overall. There'll be some amount of dickheads at it but thats the case with the majority of gigs.
I don't think teenage me would forgive me for missing Pantera😂
Oh yeah, the inbred quotient will be high. Reckon it'll run at 90+ %

I note the "from". ;)
Regardingless of the inevitable brodudes assemblage, it should be good craic!
My oh my.
I've a hard time justifying 80 quid for a gig, might have to make an exception for this though. Hopefully some decent support
Quote from: Trev on June 12, 2024, 12:26:51 PMHopefully some decent support
Well Q Prime manage them now so I'd say it could be someone shite like Volbeat for the tour.
I'll be heading to this for sure
We are the inbreds.
Has there been criticism about his playing?

He's fond of throwing in Wylde-isms and fucking with the solos.
Understand why he's there but he's a gobshite.
I'm happy to hear Phil Anselmo songs those songs live. Never got to see them back in the glory days.
I don't mind Zakk Wylde putting in his bits as long as he stays true to the riffs.
I'm willing to put it aside for the one night
Also saw them in Prague and it was way better than I thought it was gonna be. Agree that it's a cash grab but also it's good so yeah whatever I guess.
I'll be on the look out for tickets, take it the 3 arena will have golden circle and VIP tickets?
What does the artist presale involve? How do you get a code for that?
I'm up for this. I was supposed to see them at the gig after 911 where they pulled out (was it Tattoo the Planet in the Point?).
If you go for the meet and greet, do you get... five minutes alone?
Sorry.

If his gross overplaying on the Sabbath stuff is anything to go by, I'd give it a miss. Then again. I saw them with Darrell and Vinnie, so I'm not really pushed on seeing this amyway. But I get why people who didn't see them would maybe want to go.
I'd blocked out that Sabbath stuff 😱

To be fair to him, he's eased up on that shit a fair bit. I will say though, Randy Rhodes overplayed Sabbath as well but people never complained!

Rhoads wasn't nearly as bad as Zakk with "Zakk Sabbath" though. Plus there is the whole harmonics thing.
I didn't mind him on the Sabbath stuff so much with Ozzy, and I actually really liked the Pride & Glory version of The Wizard. But everything since is just awful.
It is disappointing, becuase he is just someone who I used to really love as a player and performer, but he has been appalling for over 20 years IMO. Tedious fucking songs, daft contrived image (and that ratty dyed beard, the ugly fucking guitars, sweet Jesus) and even his leads aren't memorable anymore. Plus he comes across as a complete tool in his interviews

Bollocks. I went to see Zakk Sabbath in Birmingham on the 50th anniversary of the first Sabbath album and it was the biggest pile of shite I've ever been to, just mindless fucking widdling. It would have been harder to kill the buzz than play Sabbath songs and have a great night but that cunt managed it. I wouldn't open the curtains if the fucker was playing outside my bedroom, never mind pay 80 quid to listen to the self-indulgent prick.
Don't get me wrong... I'm not saying he's a bad person... :laugh:
Yeah, I'm toying with the idea of going mainly for a night out with mates, but I don't trust Zakk for a second not to ruin it, having previously seen him live with Ozzy.

Nice one lad
Zakk can't even pinch a shit off without a fukin harmonic on it...
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I haven't actually checked out any of the live stuff other than a couple of small clips and I didn't notice anything about ZW. Is he doing his thing or is he leaving it off at all?
I just looked at a but of Zakk Sabbath on Youtube, fuckin' hell it's shite. Even the Cancer Bats lads did a better job than that.

Ah come on, Tommy isn't half as annoying as zakk surely
I saw the current Pantera lineup at Graspop last summer. It was tight. I don't recall Zakk being out of line.
I don't remember anything out of line either at the shows I saw but in saying that I was fairly hammered at both. I also don't know much about Zakk and seeing him with Pantera was the first note of music I had ever heard him play.
They even seem to be switching up the sets a bit as the ones I saw last year were a bit different to what they played in Australia recently.
I wonder if this will be an instant sell out or if tickets will last for a while as I need to get a loan if I am get tickets next week.
For anyone wondering they had VIP in Europe last year but it was a rip off $250 per person. Phil and Zakk seem to go out and wander around whatever city they are playing before each show. Theirs a whole facebook group for the reunion tour that shows people meeting them all over the place and getting photos.
I think it sounds so egregious with the Sabbath stuff because Iommi is such a tasteful player and really lets his riffs breathe compared to Zakks need to show he can play pinch harmonics every few notes. Dimes style was kind of wild anyway so there's no need for Zakk to yknow be Zakk 😂
Was a huge fan back in my young teens,never caught them live.The 2001 gig that got cancelled ,they were the real draw that day.So will be hitting this for nothing more than a big arena nostalgic trip!.

He is on the Danzig stuff. The last few albums have some great ideas, but the overall sound is appalling, and Tommy is there squealing his way through every song which doesn't help matters. I love him with Prong, but he was always the wrong choice for Danzig IMO. But I guess Glenn is fine with it for some reason.
Although I don't know why he doesn't get the original line-up together for one last run to be honest. If he can work with Jerry Only as the Misfits again, surely he can do stuff with those guys?
He must have some sort of relationship with Eerie at least, seeing as he was so involved in the Misfits and Samhain boxsets and the live stuff that was released.
Forgot he was in Danzig tbh. I only like the first 3 Danzig albums so I wouldn't be up on what he's at. I did see him with Ministry before and I couldn't get onto his buzz at all now I think of it
Anyone get sorted with the artist presale. Apparently the sites being a cunt.

Yes the sites being a cunt. Logged in since 09:55. No link in the presale, just the spinning dial of greed.
I assumed there was a link or something sent out. I'm getting the spinner too.
Yep nothing but spinner, thought it was me so went back out and in again so no doubt I've lost me place in the queue as well
Yeah got in alright and got standing tickets
Ya jammy fecker. I'm looking at the spinning wheel since 10.
Spinning wheel of doom for me as well.

Cheers lad. Got sorted with Row B seats.
Same shit as always with the 3 Arena VIP package only available with seated tickets no option to get it with standing what the fuck is the deal with that? TM did away with customer service so can't even ask anyone about it.
Even through the Pantera site I cant get any, just says no tickets available, have I missed out or am I doing something wrong?
I put Hellbound into the "enter offer code" box, but no joy
It worked for me just after getting standing tickets. Mad that the seating tickets in the lower rows are almost double the price of standing as I would have thought most people would want standing for a show like this. When they played in Canada it was the opposite standing prices were crazy.
I got tickets, but as I'm up north, it's only accepting southern addresses 😕
Sorry, was being a dick, got ticket through pantera site, and changed it to NI

Might have to go through the .Co.uk site. I think .ie still works, but when selecting delivery, you have to select the Northern Ireland option.

Yeah the missus was trying on multiple browsers for about an hour. Twas annoying as fuck.
Got them eventually! Was using a PC in work and Ticketmaster eventually blocked me as they thought I was a bot ;D
Switched to the phone and went through the Pantera site and worked in seconds, thanks all for your help and advice!
Fucking delighted, never caught them back in the day so this is bucket list stuff for me
Only seated left for me by the time I got on. €90 for the seats where you might see a quarter of the stage, or €160 for semi decent ones, fuck that
Might hold out and hope it'll be like Emperor when people that bought early tickets were trying to get rid of them cheaply coming up to the gig
Just went on myself to get two more tickets for people and no standing either. My guess is each pre-sale only gets a certain amount of tickets for each section I highly doubt standing is sold out just the allocation for the artist pre-sale is sold out.
Just got standing ones there anyways if ye wanna try again... ticketmaster don't make things easy
The UK folks were having the same issues too.

Got one earlier,stubby cans of bud and wife beather next purchases!

Just got a standing ticket there in the MCD presale. €87.80
Three presale is live now too. Bagged a standing ticket just now.
Bastards. I'm jealous seeing all of this buzz and my mates all getting their tickets too. It will be some craic.
In, good selection of options too. Last few times I've done tickets of this type there's been all sorts of arseholery to deal with.
Looks like nout left on the presale now.
The MCD presale, or band? I got a standing ticket at 1.15pm via MCD invite graciously shared here. It's still showing standing tix available: https://www.ticketmaster.ie/pantera-dublin-21-02-2025/event/180060C599C726F2?did=prompre

I wouldn't be expecting good support for this it was shite all over Europe last year and even in the US. It will either be some shitty band you have never heard of or something like Lamb of God.
Which is shame as they were know for having great support acts before they originally broke up. Pantera play for nearly an hour and a half so you are still getting good show.
Who supported on the tours you mentioned?
Elegant Weapons who I have never heard of.
Jesus.
I wouldn't mind a Lamb of God etc for the night that's in it.
I can't stand LOG. Something like Biohazard now that Evan is back would be great in terms of more mainstream acts. It was Phil that picked a lot of the support acts back in the day but he doesn't seem to be able to do that now due to whatever booking agency they are signed with.

They're Q Prime artists now so less control over supports. Phil did have some of the housecore bands out in the states(and Australia?).
They had King Parrot from Australia on a few shows who I am not too familiar with but the bits and pieces I have heard sounded good.
Lamb of God are terrible , I'd rather Biohazard or someone cool.
If Biohazard are in tow it's WIN WIN.
It will probably be something else though that won't be win win or even win.
Lamb Of God were trip-to-the-bar-time at Slayer a few years ago. I don't understand their popularity at all but maybe if I was 30 years younger...
Haven't paid much attention to the last few LoG albums, but everything up to Wrath is class, I'd love I'd they were supporting

They've some decent songs, but far too repetitive and typewriter the fuck out of the drums.
Biohazard have not supported any of the Pantera reunion shows so far and no mention has been made that they will I was just using them as an example of a good mainstream support act whereas Lamb of God are a very bad one.
Lamb of God were quite enjoyable when they supported Slayer back in 2018.
Saw them headline a festival recently and they were class.

I know but it would be savage.
I just hope it's something with a big of grit. Maybe something unexpected like an underground gem.
It'd be fucking class if they were bringing out younger bands the likes of Horrendous or something.
When the reunion was first announced I was hoping they would bring someone like Portal as Phil is good friends with the band. Imagine Portal in the 3 Arena playing to mostly people who had never heard of them before. So many options even something like Morbid Angel. It would be great to have something half decent to set the mood for when Pantera come on.
Very different vibe to Horrendous, but yeah, clearly Portal would be class!

Maybe if we all sign up for Evan Seinfeld's "Mantorship" program they'll play! 😂😂😂😂😂
MACHINEFUCKINHEAD!
Biohazard would be good alright. I'm not particularly mad about LOG myself but but as someone else said they worked at the Slayer show a few years back.
I know it doesn't really matter we're getting Pantera but at 100-160 a ticket it'd be nice to have a "name" support.
Would he have his old mate Kerry King along for the craic?
Please no.
Cobhboys from hell ?
Just had a look at the general sale for the craic - standing tickets now €150 :-\.
!!!
Have tickets had flexible pricing at point of sale for long?
Was thinking Kerry King might be the support but if all these shows are selling out fairly instantly (which I'd imagine they are) theres no real incentive to add a big name as support?

This is the first time I have ever seen it for any kind of show in Ireland.
The gig Ozzy never played in 2019 onwards had flexible pricing
Actually, not flexible since the price only went one way: up. Let's say escalating pricing.
Not to derail the thread too much, but Pearl Jam UK tour tickets did go the other way recently: two weeks before shows, ticket prices were halved due to poor sales, making those who'd paid full price purdy unhappy.
Being a Pearl Jam fan is surely just a series of disappointments!?

Ac/dc standing tickets were going for 500 for a finish I believe? No way that should be allowed. TM some shower of cunts
A shower of cunts doesn't do them justice! If it ended up that for AC/DC you'd want to be some eejit to support that nonsense.
Think AC/DC went up to 315 or something for gold circle and 150 for general standing after they went on general sale. You will be able to get them for below face value come August. I will probably pick up a standing ticket for this for 50 on resale a few days before.
Standing up at €205 now. Touting was made illegal here but Ticketmaster can openly do this.

You will be able to get them for below face value come August. I will probably pick up a standing ticket for this for 50 on resale a few days before.
General standing for AC/DC was 150 from the beginning.
Lots of people giving out on the Facebook page and someone said they spoke to a TM rep who said only a 1/4 of the floor tickets have been sold. If this is the case then what went on today will probably fuck up the turnout for this gig.

I remember checking Ticketmaster for AC/DC and seeing gold circle standing at 440 a ticket before fees.... Fuckin scandalous
Quote from: mickO))) on June 21, 2024, 08:18:03 PMStanding up at €205 now. Touting was made illegal here but Ticketmaster can openly do this.
Is it still considered touting when the bands themselves are green lighting it and pocketing the extra cash? It's easy to blame TM but any artist whose shows are subject to this has approved it.

Yeah just went back and checked my own posts from the AC/DC thread and it was €335 general and €440 gold circle.
What the actual fuck? :) I mean this is just Pantera right, not an Iron Maiden/Metallica double header or something?

Them or their management..? Not putting it beyond Pantera to approve it tbh, but if it's become more of an opt out than an opt in thing, I wonder how much bands even think about it. Robert Smith made a lot of noise against it last year having been opted in unknown.
I'm opting out anyway.
:laugh: Good call!
Didn't seem to be any surge pricing at either of the Pantera shows I went to last year.

not to go way off topic and non metal rlated, but chatting to friend a mine today she was waxing lyrical to me about how Pink in Landsdowne Rd was worth every penny at €150 a pop standing...My Mrs got handed free pink tix on Patrick St in Cork off red fm or something about 13 years ago and dragged me along to her in a 3/4 full Marquee.. I cant fathom how these acts all of a sudden become 'bucket list' almost overnight and now can charge despicable prices for what is over the hill bang average performances in a stadium.. when are people going to wake up to the fact they are being fucking rinced
FOMO is a hell of a marketing tool :abbath:
My Mrs has travelled all over the country and abroad for Pink and was there last night. That's basically her thing full time when putting on tunes, and swears by an amazing show every time. So if it's only one gig every few years tis not so bad I guess! Certainly didn't seem over the hill to her - 20/10 apparently! :laugh:

In a perfect world Live Nation etc. would want to be gutted top to bottom.
Think the most I ever paid to see one band was around €80 for Rush - that was a seating ticket (with a good view), they were my ultimate bucket list band, it was the classic lineup (not that they've ever really had any other lineup) and they played for over three hours. And even then I was still paying the asking price through gritted teeth.
This craic is just pure exploitation, especially when the brains behind Pantera have long since departed.
Rush was the only band I ever broke the €50 limit for and, likewise, did so begrudgingly for a standing ticket. Them aside, however, if it's over €50, I'm not going. Fuck it. Small gigs are more fun, usually far fewer gobshites than the big gigs attract.
arse, double post
I very rarely do big gigs,so this really is a rare occasion for me.Ive never see Pantera and everyone seems to be going are major factors too.
They can actually fuck right off with those prices. Don't even care how much I want to see anything I just wouldn't be playing along with this shit at all

I paid £500/night for Snake Pit tickets to Metallica recently, but it included exclusive swag that is selling on eBay for £100, professional catering, three free drinks, and access to a cool lounge where you could play some of the band's instruments.
For a long time, the cost made me feel slightly sick, but I rationalised it as a bucket list deal. Honestly though, after experiencing it, I'd do it again tomorrow. It was like getting your own personal Metallica concert with 70,000 people in the background.

Deadly
Davidson was a guy I kinda hoped would get the Pantera gig as a bit of a wild card.
And supporting Revocation at that gig was Alluvial and their guitarist, Wes Hauch, was mentioned as a Pantera option too. Now he's a fucking beast on guitar.

pretty much have seen everyone ever wanted to see over the years...50e is my limit now..anything over that they can get fcked..happy enough to fire up the hifi and bang on the cd with a bag a cans since covid anyway so fomo can suck a large one
Lads, ye deserve to get fleeced...you'd happily pay over the odds for a Pantera ticket yet at the same time, ye cunts thought it was grand to trample on astfgyl's civil liberties or thought that he should have taken an untested medical treatment and also give it to his kids because granny and grandad might die of the same shit that had been killing wake cunts in their eighties since the dawn of time. Think on that before ya start ranting about ticket prices.

Yknow, I had you as Not Gestapo, as much as I disagreed with you at length over it all. I don't remember you ever suggesting I should be ostracised either and was of the opinion that you somewhat saw it like me from a civil liberties point of view like darwinism would sort me out if I was wrong and that was fine by me
Edit: I also think the IVM was a load of bollix because the only real thing was letting it run its course, as it turned out. All the rest was fluff and the most extreme form of capitalism possible. There should have been a study where lads were just given 4 cans a night until they were grand again, 2 days later.
Anyway, one of me mates went to download and saw Pantera and said they were well decent. Asked him about Zakk Wylde and he said the pinching was minimal outside of the solos, so that's something I guess. I'll sit on this until I come across a cheap standing ticket, which I definitely will. I actually can't wait for this tbh

Yea, standing tickets at 200 beans a pop at the moment. Get ta fuck
Fair play to anyone who is going but life is stressful enough without the hassle of competing for overpriced tickets and the feeling that you are being fucked over by greedy cunts, fuck that...

12 or 13 thousand.Think the surge algorithm kicks in once a certain amount of traffic to the site/socials etc hits a particular percentage then the thumb goes on the scales.
Tickets will drop stay cool, Pantera won't sell this out
When did this become a thing? (I very rarely go to big arena/stadium gigs so am way out of the loop)
When the resale sites became illegal, TM essentially built legal scalping into their structure. Scumbags. The artists that opt into dynamic pricing are also cunts.

And it's meant to be an absolute ballache to opt out as Livenation lock up the contracts too.
Well, given Livenation own TM that's not at all surprising, however, the management companies could still change the nature of the game if they actually wanted to.
Standing seems to be gone from Ticketmaster now - surely not sold out?
Standing tickets disappeared for a few hours on Friday as well before they reappeared repriced, I notice this happening with a lot of bit concerts now, impossible to know anymore.

The fact that there's still standing tickets to be bought, albeit at extortionate prices, underlines your point. Best thing to do is vote with the feet and don't buy into the raised prices. I reckon there'll be the world of tickets available for this if everyone just says no to the robbery and sits it out for a few months
Edit: like I'm definitely going but I'm willing to play chicken with the cunts at this money

On the standing ticket prices - I wonder is it a case that the seats aren't selling fast (loads of them still on sale) and TM are looking to cream it on the more popular standing tickets?
I expect dynamic pricing is a make it up as you go along concept, the main criteria being to make as much cash as possible.
As much as this is probably obvious, the greed that drives this is pretty galling.

I saw the clickbait headline but they didn't actually reduce prices, it was just a few resale tickets. Pearl Jam tickets in the UK were genuinely repriced though and the London gig was scrapped altogether due to 'illness'.
I see there's a standing ticket already up for resale 195 euro :laugh: I mean fair play to ticketmaster/Live Nation/MCD their ability to weaponise FOMO is impressive. Guess it explains why H doesn't post here anymore :laugh:

I was keeping an eye on it as my daughter and her friend wanted to go but there was no way I was paying €200 for 2 tickets, taking a day off work, waiting around for that and driving for 6 hours, biut it was tempting if they came down like the Pearl Jam tickets. :laugh: Saved me the trouble anyway not seeing the late discount!

I saw Green Day in 2010. I was massively into Dookie when it came out but never bothered with anything else. They put on a brilliant show! It was very family friendly, too, with them bringing a young kid onstage to play guitar or song with them- the details are getting hazy at this stage, but I remember thinking it was really cool of them to do.

if people had a shred of dignity they wouldn't be paying extortionate prices. I loved Pantera as a young lad and I refuse to pay over the top just to see two original members. More like Partera ha ha

I'm still sore over 2001 but I'm still not paying that no matter what and I'm proper strung out for even 2 out of 4.
I got a ticket at a regular price,I wouldn't pay big money to see them.Theres very few bands Id pay big money to see now tbh.Ordinary Joe's seem to be willing to pay obscene amounts for big concerts now.Id go to anything,like Bruce Springsteen in Cork a few weeks back.Im not a fanatic or anything,but no fucking way would I €170!.But thousands seem to be willing to pay these mental prices.
Is it FOMO or what? Maybe the covid phase has us all gasping for live music. I certainly have never gone to as many concerts as in the past 2 years. Have a few more this year to come too.

I think it is both this and the fact that every band is mad to tour after covid meaning a big number of bands on the road. DME getting bought by MCD also is contributing to the number of shows here too. I'm not complaining, well, bar the over the top prices on the bigger shows. Give me a moderately priced dirty death metal show any day
DME were bought by MCD? I missed that.
Wasn't aware of that either, heard H was working with MCD but just figured it was separate from DME
QuoteDME were bought by MCD? I missed that.
Yeah could be over a year ago now maybe slightly less.
Didn't realise that!
Don't think this gig is MCD/DME though, just MCD.

Yeah, I think Priest did have the dme banner on some of the posts, but MCD are all over this one.
Still good to see (in a way), that someone from the scene handles all the heavier side of their shows.
Pretty sure Priest was a different rep as well.
There was discussion about it here a while ago when people were asking why you can't buy tickets for DME gigs through tickets.ie anymore.
Quote from: Eoin McLove on July 03, 2024, 10:34:18 AMDME were bought by MCD? I missed that.
a while back, yea. H is still running things for the most part I believe. Way more gigs on then there used to be. We are spoiled rotten ha ha
I do think the post-covid mania is over though. We're flooded with gigs which is great but depending what's on attendance can be poor. You seen Green Day, Pearl Jam and a few others drop their prices in an attempt to fill venues there recently.
Theres still a savage appetite for live events across the board!.Even the league of Ireland have seen a huge jump in crowds.The Irish football team the worst side in living memory and they are still getting 40k at matches.Covid is well over,there seems to be plenty of money about for people to splash on live stuff.

Neither Pearl Jam or Green Day repriced in Dublin. Pearl Jam did in the UK only and also started giving away tickets to people working in the NHS. Was insane though, tickets that were £160 in Manchester were repriced to £45. Don't know about Pearl Jam but Green Day seemed to do fairly well in Dublin.
Anyway I suppose we could see this kinda thing going forward. They've ramped up Pantera standing tickets for €250 maybe in future we'll see them drop the worst corner seats in the 3arena to €50 the week of the gig that kind of thing with this new dynamic pricing overlord.

I can never understand that mentality really though like couldn't they just have been fair with the pricing to begin with and filled the places no bother anyway. They all want to be the Rolling Stones now charging what they like and getting away with it. Then if the attendance is crap they might think there's no point coming here again or even worse give others the idea that there's no point. I still reckon I'll get the Half Of Pantera tickets no bother by waiting but I'd obviously have preferred to have them in hand now for the normal price. It's annoying.

I guess they have been doing this pricing structure for years in the US now and they're bringing it here because it works.
They're happy to take the risk and be left with with 2000 standing tickets for Pantera the week of the gig that they have to flog for face value or less if they manage to sucker 1000 people into paying the €230 they're asking between now and February.
Same thing will happen with AC/DC next month, I'm sure gold circle tickets will appear on ticketmaster the week of the gig for their face value price and it will be worth the risk of not selling them so long as some people panicked and paid the €440 'dynamic price' they were asking after they went on general sale.
I had heard of shit like that happening with Tool gigs in the US and thinking no way would I do it but that logic as you describe it is obviously working or they'd stop. I don't see the day coming where everyone says no but that's the only thing would do it. Look it won't really bother me much anyway because it's only a very rare thing like this that would get me out of the woodwork anyway and I'm happy enough to do the small to medium gigs when they come up.
Like I got to see Swans last year for about 30 quid or something and the academy was packed and it was one of the best things I've seen so it's not as if I'll have to really give up gigs or anything.
I've less and less interest in seeing these "legacy" acts - The Pantera one is an exception as I never got to see them. Got the Ticket for 90 or whatever it was in the presale so don't mind that.
200 though to see Pearl Jam, with Eddie in bits vocally, more dates cancelled there. No thanks, have my memory of seeing them for 20 pounds at the peak of their powers in the 90's.
QuoteLike I got to see Swans last year for about 30 quid or something and the academy was packed and it was one of the best things I've seen so it's not as if I'll have to really give up gigs or anything.
Absolutely - the best gigs I go to these days tend to cost 30 or less.
Yep had Godflesh in limerick for about the same. The sheer cost of big gigs including the day out is generally out of my range before the dynamic pricing anyway and I'm a bit old to enjoy the hassle of it

Same, I'll do one pricey one every few years or so and that's only down to my mate having a spare room in the big schmoke otherwise it's the occasional Dolans/DME show or local gigs in town.
I just wanna say I cannot fuckin wait for this. Sure the bros are dead & gone but Zakk & Benante are doin it justice. Never seen them live before so I'm fairly lookin forward to it! I'm gonna try hang round & stalk Philip until he talks to me for a minute or 2 & I get a signature on my vinyl copy of Vulgar Display. If Hetfield will do it humbly-so should he. >:(
Why did you get Hetfield to sign your Pantera album? ;) :laugh:
Mouth for woah-ah!
...new album coming soon.
Could be a live one.....
then..... there will be the 'old demo tape one rolled out....'
Having a ribbing here! no offence meant!
R
Seen them way back when they supported megadeth in the Ulster hall,got to meet them afterwards signed my vulgar display of power cassette inlay and dimebag known back then as diamond Darrel gave me his guitar pick so did rex,I still have them believe it or not
I saw them twice, supporting Megadeth in the Point and then when they played their own gig in the SFX with Gruntruck. I have a couple of Diamond Darrell plecs too, from the SFX gig.
Just looking at that setlists site to see when that gig was and it has them listed as playing the Judas Priest SFX gig in 91, too. I was at that, the day before Megadeth played the Point with AIC and the Almighty, and I don't recall Pantera playing it. I remember Annihilator alright. Pantera were on that tour but, as I recall, didn't come to Ireland as part of it. Anyone else remember that?
Just checked on Ticketmaster and the standing tickets are still €230.
Seems like there's only one left... trying to select more than one resulted in an error. When I select a single ticket, I can no longer select it on another device.
Aside from the "platinum" tickets, you can only get seats at the very back.
Stall on it as hopefully the prices will drop and the inevitable "broke after Xmas" will lead to folks offloading their tickets.
With TM you can never really trust them as they are well know for holding back tickets so they can tout them on other sites. Then at the same time I saw poster recently for this tour and Dublin had a 'low ticket warning' beside the date. I wonder how much this greedy shit show will effect attendance on the day.
€230 for a standing ticket, its not even Pantera!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Wow.... enough to keep Anselmo in coke for a few weeks anyway!

Standing tickets were €80 for Pantera they are currently at €230 because of ticketmasters dynamic pricing which is basically a loophole that lets them openly tout tickets to shows.

Power Trip announced as support. I didn't know they'd continued after yer man Gale died, but this seems like a good opening act, though I gotta admit I don't know their stuff all that well.
Nice one,always a plus when it's a decent support for these bigger arena bands.
That's fantastic news! :-*
https://powertripsl.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-seattle-05-28-2018
They did a come back gig in NYC for the anniversary the other week.
That's interesting. They turned down a tour with Superjoint Ritual in 2017 as they didn't want to be associated with Phil Anselmo! Maybe Gale changed his mind about the bould Phil and let his bandmates know via Ouija board.
:)
I see it's the singer from Fugitive fronting them, nice. :abbath:

Fuckin awesome. I just got properly into these guys recently. They were supposed to support Lamb of God and Kreator in Glasgow a few years back, but the bloody gig got cancelled multiple times.
King Parrot added to this.
Appears to be no standing available at the moment. Wonder how many tickets they managed to sell at €230 a pop.

Great. Don't know a whole lot by them but what I have heard sounds good.

Pantera standing tickets are back on sale.
Not resale either
€78.25 each+ Fees
Haven't been to a gig in 3 Arena before: I don't assume there's a pit or impromptu gold circle for this is there? Only asking asking as have two separate standing tiks , one says entrance 1, other says entrance 3 , and wondering if one brings you to the secret path to glory . Haha
It's just for crowd control, it's all the same GA.
They had a pit area for the band Napalm Death supported in the 3 Arena a few years ago. I didn't see any mention of this when buying Pantera tickets and I have never seen at any other show in that venue.
Won't be going now because of the silliness of the dynamic thing but they should have just sold them at that all along and they would've likely sold em all out ages ago instead of riding people. Hope somebody learns something from it but I doubt that!
The fact that this dynamic pricing Bullshit is for a lineup that has zero original members is kind of funny.
Rex did play on the first album, but it's still kind of funny.
Yeah when I saw them there were hoards of disappointed fans expecting to see Terry Glaze up there performing all the hits from Metal Magic.

Watched one of those live online performances a few years ago of Phil and the illegals doing Pantera songs they had King Parrot as support. The stuff they played at that sounded good and so did the little bits I have heard since then. Reminded me a bit of Birdflesh. Power Trip on the other hand sounded awful when I checked them out a few years ago.

I bought tickets for Muse a few hours before doors on resale last time they played. Think I was watching before for the Placebo gig and they were available until exactly 1 hour before doors.
I don't think there's a rule though, it appears to be completely up to Ticketmaster's discrepancy when they pull the resales.

Am proper excited for Power Trip , I must say. Have fostered a bit of an obsession with them over the last 6 weeks. Was beyond gutted when I discovered poor Riley had died too . But Seth seems to be doing good in his shoes . Their live 'Soul Sacrifice' at Bloodstock on YouTube is mighty .
I don't mind King Parrot either, front what I've heard. I love 'Bozo'. Good wee hook in it . Their vids are quite slick too .
Ticketbastard app is fucked since they went for the new version, so Google wallet your tickets lads!
Nice one Cans. I tried to update the TM app but it failed basically. I got the ticket in my wallet from the original purchase now so all sorted.
But yeah hyped about Power Trip myself. Buddy caught the tour in Leeds last night and said they were excellent, equally as good as Pantera.
He said KP were good, but I'm not familiar with them at all bar the general write off of then.

Pre book it and give yourself plenty of time, we had to wait a few mins. for a spot to open but it's handy enough.
Holy fuck that's expensive, coming up as €43 for just a few hours!
Quote from: Snare on February 20, 2025, 09:36:24 PMBut yeah hyped about Power Trip myself. Buddy caught the tour in Leeds last night and said they were excellent, equally as good as Pantera.
He said KP were good, but I'm not familiar with them at all bar the general write off of then.
Ahh brilliant. Absolutely delighted to hear this!! 👍
Quote from: Sworntothecans on February 20, 2025, 08:43:29 PMTicketbastard app is fucked since they went for the new version, so Google wallet your tickets lads!
That's why physical tickets are always best.
I was trying to transfer a ticket to someone earlier and TM wanted me to verify a code from my phone which was a Canadian number I haven't had for 5 years. Tried to change my number and in order to do that I still need to verify the code sent to the number I no longer have access. All of this and then they don't have customer service anymore just bots. Absolute cunts.

That's nuts, we spent around €20-€25 there for the Maiden gig in '23, for about 6 hours.
Edit: This is the one at the Convention Centre, a bit more reasonable (€4 an hour) and you can prebook. About 10 mins. walk to the 3 Arena:

Sound,that looks a much better option alright
:abbath: :abbath:
Enjoy the gig, chaps. A bit of FOMO happening over here, especially given the double/ triple whammy of Brohazard and Life in Agonies tomorrow too. Have a hoot.
Dying a death from the bloody flu - absolutely raging I'm gonna miss it >:( enjoy!!
Thanks I intend to pit all the negatives aside for one evening and have a blast at this
Very much gonna take it for what it is and hopefully enjoy every minute.
Nabbed a ticket on Ticketmaster a few minutes ago for €50.
Looking forward to hearing the reports back from this one and def jealous I'm not home to be going to this. This feels like one of those gigs where the entire local metal scene goes :laugh:
Don't think I've ever gone to a gig with more people, almost 20 of us...most of whom reanimated into metal appreciation for one night only though, must be said :laugh:

Yeah, I've a few in the gang coming out of mosh retirement. I've a feeling I'll be minding wan or two of the cunts afterwards
Not to take away from anyone's enjoyment but I can't believe so many people are arsed with this. Any clips I've seen are cuntish. Was even offered a free ticket last night.
I'd love to have been going to this but the ticket fuckery at the start just left me to make the decision not to. Fairly jealous this minute missing out though

I seen them two years ago at a festival and they sounded great. I'd love to be going to this gig tonight. Even if only to hang out with some friends that I rarely get to see anymore, because of kids etc and the fact that they don't bother with gigs that aren't bands that they listened to 20 years ago.
There's probably 2 generations of heads that have never heard a Pantera song live before. I'd say the buzz at this will be unreal tonight!
Yes it was great
King Parrot- shite
Power Trip - not bad at all
Pantera - deadly
It was fun - they're a good band for a greatest hits set in fairness. I thought Phil, Rex and Charlie were in good form and sounded pretty decent, but Wylde was barely audible from where I was. The visuals were so 90s-era - lots of barbed wire, snake skeletons and weed leaves. It was funny to see some of the footage from their vhs releases too - I forgot that Pantera were almost doing a version of Jackass on those videos back in the day.
It was cool to see Power Trip playing to a large crowd but the sound wasn't so good. I missed the first band.
Definitely saw some fellas coming out of mosh retirement alright :laugh:
Had a look at the merch as I was coming in - €80 for a hoodie and €45 for a shirt must be a new record.
This was savage craic.
Yeah I'd like to see Power Trip again somewhere smaller - sound was shit
Pantera we're grand. Had fun but it's not the same. Set was as expected no surprises except Yesterday at the end. Phils in bits. Happy to have seen them but wouldn't be in a mad rush to see them again

You can thank the greedy pricks from live nation aka ticketmaster for that since they demand a cut of every single piece of merch sold by bands in the venue same with the Olympia and plenty of other venues around Dublin. Prices were the same at the Wu-Tang and the Ice Cube / Cypress Hill gigs in 2023. I am nearly sure hoodies were even 80 at the Unholy alliance tour back in 06. I remember being shocked by the merch prices back then.
Wanted to see KP but had to wait for one of my mates who was working since I couldn't transfer the ticket and no ins / outs once you get inside. Got in about 15 mins before Pantera started and all the merch was gone every single Pantera item was sold out. Don't really care as I remember the merch all being shite at the 2023 shows stupid block capital back prints on everything "for the fans and the brothers" etc.
Good show but some amount of pricks in the crowd mainly people constantly pushing trying to get further up in the crowd when clearly there was no room. So annoying and it's why smaller shows are so much better. Great to hear Floods as they only added that to set after the last time I saw them.
I think Phil got mixed up saying the show was the first to sell out as I don't think the Dublin show ever actually did sell out it just got fucked by the dynamic pricing. That's the biggest crowd I have ever seen in the 3 arena for a show that wasn't sold out. Once you hit past as far as the seats went out it was almost impossible to get any closer to the stage.
That was great. Only caught the tail end of KP so can't say much there, thought Power Trip were very good. Pantera exceeded my expectations. Phil was great, not a fan of Wylde tbh but had no complaints otherwise. Setlist was spot on, sound was great and just good craic overall.
Long week at work, completely dosed as well so come 5pm, I was close enough to not even bothering. Glad I went.
Thought Pantera were phenomenal.The first couple of tracks were immense but it felt like they were racing through the set and could at least push it to a 2 hour set.Power Trio were OK.King Parrot were a mess.
Phil, great. Rex, grand. Charlie, perfect tribunte to Vinnie. Zakk Wylde, fuck Zakk Wylde.
Out of curiosity: famously, Wylde isn't operating his own pedals on this tour - 1. Was this the case for DIAMOND Darrell and 2. Is this normal for a touring band of this level?
Really enjoyed it,great nostalgia trip hearing the classics!.I was surprised at the size of the crowd!,must have been the oldest crowd I've seen at a gig!, id say the average age at it must have been mid 40s! :laugh: .
Fucking Cough-Style?
Place was absolutely heaving last night. Saw 2 fights break out where I was, some spastics just lose the run of themselves.
A gang of us were in the bar of the Premier inn before hand,it was like a retirement home for old rockers!.Fellas on crutches,medical boots,fellas limping,walking heart attacks everywhere.

Dime had his guitar tech do the squeals during Becoming and most bands at this level have the tech change sounds off stage.

it's quite common.On the hardwired tour Metallica had no pedals on stage and the techs were in full control.

Correct about the pricks in the crowd. Never felt as wedged in there and there was some clown trying to push through every 2 minutes. We weren't even near the front.
Thought Pantera were grand. Cowboys is the only album I really love so setlist wasn't ideal for me, more of a box ticking exercise as I was minus 1 years old the last time they were here. ;D
I was front centre and I was surprised the levels of mongoism nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Some woman was pissing people off by jumping on top of them and trying to make them dance was the worst I saw.
Pantera were good - Phil doesn't move much but was in great voice. Power Trip musically were boring as fuck but put on a good show.
Yeah the levels of Mongoism was well below what I was expecting!
Lot of topless fellas around. Don't really understand that myself but lookit.
Was 93 really the last time they played in Ireland? They didn't come here on the FBD or GST tours? I know all about the foot and mouth problems but I didn't realise they never played here during what you could argue were the best years of the band.

They were ment to play 2001 but for 911 happening a day or two before!.
Apparently they were in Dublin at the time and all.
I don't know anything about playing an instrument but was Zakk Wylde doing that dive bombing thing he does the whole time and making shit of a lot of the riffs??
Thought Phil was on point and looked fresher than he has in years.....

A fella was telling me he was in The Foggy at some point yesterday.
Had a ticket, couldn't go FML etc.
The clips make it seem like it was good fun.
How many would go again if this lineup comes back?
Or is more a case of having had the trip down memory lane that that's enough?

Nah I'd have no interest, last night served it's purpose for me anyway!
I definitely had a great time but wouldn't go again, don't think there's any great repeat value in it. There were flaws that you'd forgive first time round but I think they'd begin to grate, and I don't believe the set would change too much either.

Yeah that was the foot and mouth thing I mentioned. I have seen people over the years say it was 9/11 then others say it was foot and mouth. Didn't someone on MI say they saw them in Supermacs on O Connell street. Have also read that them being stranded here and stuck around each other not knowing when they could leave contributed to the break up.
That was my third time seeing them and I would definitely go again.
Yeah that gig was supposed to be 13/09/2001. Think Slayer being unable to leave the US is what put the skids on it more than anything.

Ya I'd probably agree with that.
They were stuck here for a week after 9/11.
I loved it. I've been very sceptical about it since they "reformed" and I think you could spend a long time talking about what a lineup like that isn't, but what we got was a fun setlist of songs I've loved since I was 12, with friends I don't see enough of anymore. It was deadly.
I'd go again, absolutely. Would like a few deeper cuts in the set, but I think you just have to be glad with what you get.
Power Trip were class too, again, you could argue they were Riley Gale and I know there was initial backlash from his family about them touring without him, which seems to have cooled, but I really enjoyed them.
I'm still fairly bitter that I didn't go, zakk wylde or not.
Big thread on Facebook Ireland Metal heads is interesting, lots of people wringing their hands over the crowd being obnoxious.....I mean no shit it's Pantera!
Like I said in my earlier post I definitely noticed a big dickhead element in the crowd that I didn't see at the shows I went to in 2023. I think it had a lot to do with as was mentioned on here people who haven't been to a gig in years or even listened to metal in years coming out to this and just being grumpy pricks.
When I walked in I saw a row break out at one of those circle table things near the bar. It was hilarious some fat lad threw a terrible punch but managed to connect perfectly dropping the fella he hit then your man's pint went all over him as he fell :laugh: . The lad that threw the punch then had his shirt ripped off by security as he was being dragged away.
Don't be surprised if you see more of this at Biohazard. It will be a similar crowd and while a sold out academy isn't as bad as the 3 arena it's not a pleasent experience either.
Decided to drive up and down to this on the dry. Done it a few times but this one really stood out as the most intoxicated crowd ive been around sober :laugh:
It was a good gig, really enjoyed it. Found the set very short. 1hr of music according to spotify and thats with the full versions of domination & hollow. We got an extra tune with "Yesterday" but its under an hour of actual music and the rest of the time is the low E string ringing out at the end of most tunes with zakk doodling/cymbals crashing, talking before songs, intro tapes etc. I remember when they finished song 6, I looked at the time and half the set was done and they werent even on stage 30 minutes.
Definitely for the price of gigs these days, they should be playing abit more I think.
But they were very good. Phil got himself in shape for this reunion and got his vocals down. Zakk in fairness does the job fine, could lay off the pinch harmonics and Charlie was absolutely spot on. Rex is Rex, grand.
Cool to see them play those songs in 2025. Don't think id need to see again though.
Watched a video there that was shot in line with the middle of the stage and the sound was much clearer than where I was standing off to the left side.
And yeah the set did feel a bit short, could've easily put in another song in place of the useless widdling!
I'm happy to have finally seen a band I've been listening to for a couple decades and I enjoyed the set but yeah I wouldn't bother again unless there was some class supports with them.
The curtain drop was epic (not my video)

I enjoyed Power Trip's set. I'd definitely go and see this version of Pantera again.
New tour dates to be announced tomorrow very unlikely Ireland will be one of them but other than England they have played everywhere else in Europe and North America multiple times since the reunion.
I thought Power Trip were good, I wasn't in on time for King Parrot. All the T Shirts were sold out which was no harm, saved me €45. I enjoyed Pantera but apart from the obvious there was something missing from the set. Very good greatest hits setlist but only one song from Cowboys was disappointing as it's my favourite Pantera album. I'm not counting that Domination/Hollow medley which was pointless to me, the version of this from the older days had most of domination not just the coda, just play either of the two songs in full. I thought Phil looked and sounded great and Rex looked cool in his suit :laugh: , Charlie was great on drums and Zakk I just don't like but it's a thankless job he has trying to replace Dimebag. Would I go again? Probably if there was a decent support act. Also I was one of those auld lads who came out of mosh pit retirement, I just had to jump in for Cowboys from Hell :laugh:
Zakk does overplay a lot of stuff, but Dimebag also did a lot of extra divebombs and pinch harmonics live too so probably isn't too far of the mark.

Cowboys from Hell :laugh:
Well done on coming out of retirement. I must be getting old because I was glad to be seated and not in the mosh pit. If Pantera do play here again I hope they play Cemetery Gates and Primal Concrete Sledge next time
I've read all the posts but I can t really figure out why Zak Wylde gets so much stick in relation to the Pantera stuff.
Does he change the riffs or fuck yo the solos?
Whatever about the BLS stuff, I know that's pinch city.
A lot of people like Zakk's style and that's fine and I'm sure they dug the shit out of his take on Dime. But for anyone who knows and doesn't like Zakk's style, the problem is that he literally doesn't have the will or the way to do anything else, regardless of the project. In a nutshell, he doesn't pay tribute to Dime in the way Charlie played tribute to Vinny simply because he can't and, bro friendship aside, was one of the worst people the gig could have gone to for that reason. So deadly for ye if you dig Zakk and he presented no enjoyment obstacle for you, but if we're talking about "the mark" of Dime live, he wasn't even aiming for it.
Was a better gig then I expected. Black and blue from the moshing my body can't take the punishment anymore but to be fair they were some proper pits. Heard Fibbers was an absolute shit show after, worse than the Green Room before the gig.
Got in for Power Trip, remember there was huge hype about them a few years back, music was grand enough, but they put on a good show
I was a bit sceptical about the whole thing at the start, but it was a brilliant show, haven't heard Phil sound that good in years.
There was an interview with Benante when it was first announced and he said he wanted to be absolutely spot on with the drums and he absolutely was. He really did his homework, but Zakk sounded like he learned about 80% and winged the rest
Not sure if I'd go again, mostly just due to the price. If it was something like a full album show, or a really changed up set though I'd seriously consider it
Was there somebody stabbed outside?
Enjoyed Power Trip and Pantera, didn't think the set was too short or anything, expected it to be Walk, This Love etc so no surprises. Did the dog on it, way too old for that. Great craic though. Was so depressed and thick with fear I almost started crying bitterly whilst changing a bulb in the car yesterday ha ha
:laugh:
Fuck, I do not miss the fear one bit.
I have absolutely no bias on Zakk Wylde and had no issue with him at all on Friday night.
Thought it was a good show. The only issue was the sound, I thought the drum effects were a bit too loud and the guitar a bit low in the mix. A minor complaint really, I really enjoyed it. Thought Zak and Charlie did a great job

I thought the drum mix was a little bit loud too and the vocals could have been upped a little but maybe it was where we were sitting.
As some have said I probably wouldnt go out of my way to see them again either but at the same time glad I went as it was an enjoyable gig.
They paid some nice tributes to Dimebag and Vinnie thoughout the gig, Wylde also had some St Vinnie and St Dimebag patches on the front of his jacket?
Power Trip were excellent from what I heard.

Was this posted already? Decent footage for anyone interested, starts with Becoming which I think was the 3rd song they played (mix took about two songs to settle anyway):

If they were to do album tours I'd be all over it. Give me far beyond drivin or trendkill!

I don't think Phil nowadays would be able to do the GST title track live. I don't think he's ever been able to do it as it doesn't seem to have ever been played live.
I would say he would struggle with Primal Concrete Sledge too.
Speaking of Phil's range, any of you musos know what tuning(s) they're playing at these days? Tis a totally understandable thing to have to drop gears with age, but there were a couple of tracks it sounded particularly low.
He usually tunes to C#, pretty sure it was the same at the gig. Guitar sounded a bit low in the mix from where I was standing though so could be wrong, the feed of pints probably didn't help either

Sound seemed to vary a lot by where you were but I think the guitar was on the low side all over. Where I was the drums in particular were overpowering at the start, could hardly make out vocals for the first couple songs.
I see they've new US dates added with Amon Amarth.

Surely nobody was actually expecting Cemetary Gates at that gig? It must be 30 years since Anselmo was capable of hitting those high notes.
I'm suddenly reminded of that video from a few years back of Anselmo and two other lads strapped together onstage, rotating as each lad took his turn to sing. What was that all about again? Looked mad.
