Phil Lynott Statue Damaged Overnight

Posted in Music, News with tags , , on May 10, 2013 by Tickets There

phil-lynott-statueSome b*stards in Dublin have gone and knocked over the statue of icon Thin Lizzy frontman, Phil Lynott. Apparently they were in ‘high spirits’ according to Phil’s mum, Philomena and they meant no harm. I have deleted the original comments I wrote about them as the anger has cooled down. Estimates are that the statue will be back on Harry Street in one week.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the incident. If you saw anything – please call your local Garda station and report anything you might have seen on Harry street at that time. A picture of the damage can be seen at Hotpress.com.

31930_539926336029359_1651500463_nGAMA BOMB fans will remember the call to help them film a video for the next single from their fourth album, The Terror Tapes which hit shelves last month (review still to come – bad Tickets There). The band called fans down to Mabo’s in Dublin at the start of last month to film a chaotic video that should be airing soon. Judging by the clip, things seem to have gone pretty well!

First Image of Metallica’s ‘Through The Never’ 3D Movie

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , , on May 10, 2013 by Tickets There

Through The Never (2013) Dane DeHaanMetallica never do things by half in fairness. Instead of going down the old route of releasing a basic live DVD, they’re going full on 3D IMAX for their new movie/concert file, ‘Metallica Through The Never’. Details are sketchy but it’s going to be based on a Metallica concert happening in a city filled with chaos where one of their road crew gets sent on a mission and so on.

The first image was released this week (can be viewed there at the side) and the film has officially IMAX release date of September 27th. Filming of the Metallica scenes took place last year in Canada on a stage custom built for the movie. Dane DeHaan stars as the main character…well, aside from Lars, James, Robert and Kirk of course.

It’s been a while since Metallica made a move that excited me (three years and counting lads – get back to Dublin!) but this project sounds like it’ll be well worth watching. The movie will be generally released in October.

SLAYER Confirm 2013 Summer Tour Will Go Ahead

Posted in News with tags , , , , , on May 9, 2013 by Tickets There

20130509-195351.jpgIn the wake of losing SLAYER co-founder, Jeff Hanneman, last week, Tom Araya and Kerry King have just released a statement confirming their summer tour will go ahead as had been widely expected.

The band announced the news by posting the following statement on their Facebook page.

NOTE FROM TOM AND KERRY TO UK/EURO FANS:

“We know that our fans everywhere are hurting for the loss of Jeff just as we are.
We want to let you all know that when we come to Europe this summer in June, July and August, we’ll ALL be making noise together for our brother and dear friend Jeff… We’ll See you then!”

The statement will be slightly worrying to fans as original drummer, Dave Lombardo isn’t mentioned. Dave has been estranged from his band mates since March of this year. Exodus guitarist, Gary Holt will continue filling in Jeff’s position while Jon Dette is presumed to stay behind the kit.

Slayer play Dublin’s Academy on June 10th and 11th and The Limelight, Belfast on June 12th. All three shows are sold out.

HMV To Reopen Six Irish Stores?

Posted in Music, News with tags , , , , , on May 9, 2013 by Tickets There

HMVGood news for the cheap DVD and CD consumers as Hilco look set to provide a rescue package for six of the original sixteen Irish HMV outlets.

Stores in Dublin, Galway, Cork and Limerick might re-open if the filthy, nasty, miserable auld bunch of landlord scum agree to reduced rents in favour of supporting Irish jobs and less empty premises along Irish streets. Fortunately for Ex-HMV staff, Irish landlords have a history of being very open to reducing their preposterous rents.

It’s unknown currently which stores are likely to reopen, but it was reported a few weeks back that Dublin’s Henry Street premises was likely to open its doors once again.

Is this good news? Tickets There thinks so. Smaller shops and the bands they help still have a better chance than this time five years ago as large music retailers shift their focus more to games, movies and electronics. Also more jobs for the young and less empty shops on our streets.

R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman

Posted in Music, News with tags , on May 3, 2013 by Tickets There

Slayer

I’ve been taking my time to put this up. The news about Jeff Hanneman has devastated the metal community and I’m still in shock that it’s actually true. For many of us, Slayer are the ultimate metal band. Fans from all genres of the music could relate to Slayer and Jeff’s music. He was the driving backbone behind their best known songs and a formidable presence on stage when they played live.

mournI was lucky enough to have seen Jeff play with Slayer twice, the last time being the Big4 show in Warsaw just months before he contracted necrotizing fasciitis from a spider bite. Ever since he withdrew from touring I’ve, like all fans, followed his progress and hoped to hear news of his return to the line-up. Just a month ago things seemed to be looking up with reports that, although he wasn’t taking his physical therapy too seriously, he was well on the mend and just taking some time for himself. That has made the news of his passing much more difficult to swallow.

Jeff, thank you so much for the dozens of songs you gave me, Slayer and your fans. You will live on through them forever. My deepest condolences to the Hanneman family, Dave, Tom, Kerry and the extended Slayer crew and fans.

There is no word yet about their summer plans for those of you googling for information. Most likely the shows in Dublin and Belfast will go ahead as Jeff has been absent for quite some time and Gary Holt has been filling in. If they do go ahead, it will be a fitting way of celebrating Jeff’s music with the people that brought out his best.

R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman (1964 – 2013)

133059_1787976945938_1434990324_31885493_7829037_oThe festival aims to support local Northern Irish bands and The Answer, The Japanese Popstars and And So I Watch You From Afar aim to bring in the punters and demonstrate how strong Northern bands are right now. Helping them in this task will be (deep breath) Jetplane Landing, Little Bear, Axis Of, Ed Zealous, In Their Thousands, More Than Conquerors, Million Dollar Reload, Trucker Diablo, The Bonnevilles, Runaway GO, PigsAsPeople, Vanilla Gloom, The Wood Burning Savages, Pretty Child Backfire, Furlo, Robyn G Shiels and Rosie Carney – with many, many more still to be announced (about 50 from what we’ve heard).

The festival will take place over two days for the first time, July 20th – 21st with a ‘County Derry Showcase’ happening on the 19th…so really a three day job. If you want more than music to spend three nights ibn a field then Glasgowbury have you sorted as they’ve also announced their G-Spot Comedy stage will return and there’ll be a heap of carnival/Samba band activated, technology and gaming demonstrations / activities.

Tickets for Glasgowbury 2013, priced from just £35, are on sale now from this location.

After conquering the world of blogging, Tickets There thinks its time for the big screen. That’s right, we’re building up to a trillion dollar budget, 7D - multi-layer affect full length feature that’ll make Avatar look like a penny flip book from the 1400′s. Before we embark on our Hollywood adventure, we’ve decided to post three clips taken at a recent shows of Overoth, Exzeltic and Psykosis. These will stay up until the bands threaten to sue me.

They catch the bands right in the thick of things. Here’s a short note on each poorly displayed clip.

Overoth

Taken at their recent winning performance from the Wacken Metal Battle final @ The Pint – April 27th 2013.

Exzeltic

Taken at the same show as Overoth. Exzeltic performing one of their show stopping instrumentals.

Psykosis

Taken from a Fibber MaGee’s show earlier in the year. The date? Gone with the liquor that made me forget it. Oh, April 13th actually (it’s in the title :) )

Forward all soliciter mails to ‘He Who Shall Not Be Named’, Tickets There Headquarters, Dublin, Ireland, The World.
