Ash – Dare To Dream (Single Review)
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, News, Single Review with tags Ash, Ash A-Z Reviews, Ash a-z series, ash az dare to dream, Ash Dare to dream, Ash dare to dream review on April 11, 2010 by Tickets There
Two weeks have passed and as promised, Ash have returned with the second half of their A – Z release. With the Volume 1 singles coming out on two CD’s on the 19th, it’s time for fans to re-focus on the second batch and first single, Dare To Dream seems to be taking things in the right direction.
The song itself is a little drawn out. It’s doesn’t deliver the energetic, rockier side of the groups sound but does stick to the A – Z trademark grandness. It’s constantly develops as you listen but never uncovers any real surprises. Saying that, we prefer it to True Love 1980 (Single A of the series) – so as openers go, this ones ahead.
This series has already given fans more worthwhile material than we could have hoped and with another twelve singles to go, we know they have just as many more quality singles to go. This won’t be a stand out in the long run, but it’s a good sign of things to come.

*** Updated – 10/06/2010 ***
Maiden kicked off their Final Frontier World Tour last night in Dallas, Texas. The set, like almost all album tours Maiden have undertaken for the past 10 years is mostly comprised of new material. Off course they have thrown in two tours of just classic material….but they didn’t bring the last one, The Somewhere Back in Time Tour to Ireland and that was the one everyone wanted to see.
Now, like 2006, we’ll be forced to sit through a long set of pretty crappy rehashes of their former glory days in the hopes of being satisfied by the usual 5% cut of their classics. Obviously no-one’s got a gun to heads but come on!
Dallas, Texas – 09/06/2010
01. The Wicker Man (2000 – Brave New World)
02. The Ghost Of The Navigator (2000 – Brave New World)

I just realized I never updated this post after Ronnie James Dio’s passing last month. No replacement support act has been confirmed by MCD, Ticketmaster or Iron Maiden themselves. If anythings announced we’ll post it……although, filling Heaven & Hell’s shoes would be almost beyond impossible but just in case.
*** Updated 4th May 2010***
Unfortunately Ronnie James Dio hasn’t fully recorded yet so all summer appearances by Heaven & Hell have been cancelled. Iron Maiden is still go though.

Tickets There wishes Ronnie a speedy recovery. As a friend just said, ‘Dio can take as long as he likes’ and that’s for damn sure!! Don’t be rushing back too quickly Mr. Dio, we want to see the legend in his purest form.

This will mark Maidens first Irish show in four years after their last appearance in Dublin’s Point Theatre in 2006. Heaven & Hell…wow, Ronnie James Dio is coming back strong after health problems and Dublin will be bowing down to give the metal god his proper respect.

MySpace Review – Five Will Die
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, MySpace Review with tags Five Will Die, Five Will Die Cork, Five Will Die myspace, Five will Die review on April 8, 2010 by Tickets There
Tickets There has a saying, ‘when in doubt, go to Cork’. Bands emerging from the People’s Republic seem to have a much greater ratio of talent to toss than any other county we’ve come across. Not to dump on the rest of Ireland or anything, we’ve just found Cork to be the most reliable for finding consistently good bands and anyone looking to prove us wrong, please do so. This damn trawling through the net is finally wearing thin.
Metal, Metal, Metal! What’s going to rip a couple of X-touts out of a Whitesnake stronghold faster than anything? Metal! Five Will Die play it, we want to hear it, you’re gonna love them.
Never seen, never heard.
First track, What They Say is nothing but six and some odd minutes of unrelenting, fury fired, hardcore aggression. There isn’t a tame moment to be found and the band sound great….if you like industrial strong death metal.
Black Cloud opens a lot softer and for awhile you’re lulled into thinking the band have an auld ballad or two up the sleeves. Fear not metal alliance, before long the singers growling roar explodes and the song turns into a doom driven …what the hell would you call it? Sounds like a physiatrist patient’s mind embarking on a downward spiral to complete insanity. Next! (In a good way)
On Your Knees has much the same opening as Black Cloud, in the sense that it’s soft but the music does contain that impending danger TT just loves. For TT, the song lengths may push things as a tad but if you’re a fully fledged fan, then you’re definitely getting value for your mula.
Self titled track next and TT is going to have to leave it on this note. Five Will Die wastes no time exploding into action. There’s so much power in the singers voice that you’ll be convinced after a few short spins.
Overall, not too bad. The length takes its toll and the lack of faster material, such as What They Say brings the pace to a very sudden stop. Aside from that the bands tight, talented and judging by these songs, they’re live shows are probably like a war zone. Worth checking out if you’re a doom / Sludge / Death metal supporter.

Whitesnake #2 – Fool For Your Loving
Posted in Music, Music Video with tags David Coverdale, Fool for your loving, Whitesnake, whitesnake fool for your loving, Whitesnake Ireland on April 7, 2010 by Tickets TherePart 2 of our quest to make Ireland like Whitesnake (a quest we feel will go largely unnoticed) is here and today, we;re listening to the awesome, Fool For Your Loving.
As a special treat, we’re including the early version and the reworked 80’s version featuring Steve Vai. Personally, TT likes the original more but you guys have a listen and see what ye think.
Whitesnake #1 – Still Of The Night
Posted in Music, Music Video with tags David Coverdale, Whitesnake, Whitesnake still of the night on April 6, 2010 by Tickets ThereWe’ve decided Whitesnake are just too amazing for Irish people not to realize it. To ratify this, we’re starting a regular video series entirely dedicated to the Snake.
If you think David Coverdale and co are just a one or two hit wonder, eighties hair metal joke then think again. Whitesnake are easily one of the greatest bands you will ever hear, love and cling to.
Today’s choice is the mind blowing, head banging, foot stomping Still of the Night from their classic Whitesnake (1987) album.

According to Hotpress, this years Slane Festival (or show) has been cancelled as a suitable headliner hasn’t been found.
After numerous reports that Kings of Leon or AC/DC (for the millionth year in a row) were due to take the top spot, it seems Ireland will just have to wait another year for Slane’s 30th anniversary of holding concerts.

Sorry folks, all an April Fools Day joke BUT, keep an eye on TT because we’re 99% sure an Irish date is coming…but it won’t be Slane
Unconfirmed reports have tipped hard rock legends Guns N Roses to take the headlining spot at this year’s Slane Festival.
The band who are already being confirmed to play the Reading and Leed’s Festivals in August last played the venue on their Use Your Illusion World Tour in 1992.
Since late last year, Guns have been steadily trekking their way around the world on their Chinese Democracy World Tour with leg’s in Asia, Canada and South America already completed. It seems the group will spend June – August playing shows in Europe and then possibly move onto North America. The group has been playing a slightly odd set list recently which can be viewed below,
Axl’s Intro (Chinese Democracy melody)
Paradise City
Right Next Door to Hell
If The World
Live and Let Die
Fortus (Richard) Solo

Anything Goes
You Ain’t The First

Oliver Cole – We Albatri (Album Review)
Posted in Album Review, IRISH NOISE!, Music with tags Oliver C Oh My Girl, Oliver Cole, Oliver Cole Turn, Oliver Cole We Albatri, Ollie Cole, Ollie Cole Late Late show, Ollie Cole Oh My Girl, Ollie Cole We Albatri, We Albatri review, We Albatri reviews on March 31, 2010 by Tickets There
Torn between loyalty and honesty, Tickets There has been dreading the thoughts of writing this review for a long time now. As massive fans of Oliver Cole’s former group, Turn, we’ve never really gotten the same excitement, enjoyment or fulfillment from the singer’s solo material. That being said, Oliver possesses a charm, style and above all, a talent that you just can’t ignore. So here we are, four years after Turns demise, still waiting for Ollie to produce something to fill the void left since their absence. Thankfully, we’re delighted to report that our fears and hesitations have finally been appeased.
Musically, the album gets harder and harder to define with each listen. Tracks like What Will You Do?, Oh My Girl and Too Many People bounce around with quietly restrained catchiness and easy going vibes. Drug Song and Little Bad Dream take their cues from a country backing while more soulful pieces like Close Your Eyes, We Albatri, Spotlight and the excellent Need You Strong are far more stripped back and powerful. Each song possess it’s own unique charm and style but they still manage to blend perfectly together giving the album a great flow.
Lyrically the album is heavy. Moth’s Wing, Need You Strong, Close Your Eyes and Spotlight are filled with sadness and themes of lamenting love, memories and regrets. Oliver’s immense talent for writing extremely personal and profound music combined with his incredibility soulful vocals give the songs a passion and an edge that few in this country can match.
Unlike other reviewers, Tickets There won’t commit that this album upstages Oliver’s past. However, we’ll say this. We Albatri continues Oliver’s great tradition of writing and recording incredibly passionate and diverse music. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish and only improves with repeated listens.
Check Out: Oh My Girl, We Albatri, Too Many People, Little Bad Dream…agh, just buy the album and check em all out.

Fight Like Apes – Knucklehead (Lego Video)
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, News with tags Fight Like Apes, Fight Like Apes Knucklehead, Fight Like Apes music video, FLA Knucklehead video on March 30, 2010 by Tickets ThereIf you read Tickets There regularly, you’ll have noticed a wee series of reviews called ‘MySpace Review’. These are quickly written opinions about bands we’ve never seen live or heard on record.
The very first MPR kicked off with then underground talent, Fight Like Apes and we were not impressed. So unimpressed that the reviews briefly became an outlet for attacks on various bands rather than an aid for their promotion. After some serious soul searching a while back, TT changed format and so did the reviews. Now we’re ready to eat our words about FLA simply because…they’re making more of an effort than most.
Although we haven’t fully warmed up to their music. The bands determination to standout and give fans more value for their buck is something alot more bands could do with checking out. Last year the band preformed two nights in the academy with a full sized wrestling ring and theatrical stage show. Awesome! Now they’ve released one of the coolest video’s we’ve seen from an Irish group. Well worth checking out if you’re a fan or not.

MySpace Review – The Gandhis
Posted in IRISH NOISE!, Music, MySpace Review with tags Dublin Rocks Festival, The Gandhis, The Gandhis Dont you want to be loved, The Gandhis dublin, The Gandhis myspace, The Gandhis myspace review, The Gandhis review, The Gandhis Ruby Lane on March 29, 2010 by Tickets There
Been a long time since Tickets There’s gotten round to a good old fashioned MySpace Review. In some ways they’re a headache to do but they’re a little more relaxing (and cheaper) than forcing ourselves to grab a new album and write a full summary in a day or two. Monday morning rambling. Was that as boring for you to read as it was for us to write? Good J
Today we’re going through the Dublin Rocks! Bands and checking out the ones we haven’t heard before. Up first is Dublin four piece, The Gandhis who describe themselves as Pop / Alternative / Other. It’s the ‘other’ that gives their sound that extra appeal that’s keeping Tickets There listening.
As usual, we’ve never seen the band live or heard their album.
After two songs (Promise Lane & The Ruby Show), The Gandhis sound like a mesh of The Coral and The Clash with a love for Ska. Promise Lane has a charming lads humor quality with a tongue in check, relaxed style of playing. The Ruby Show is more solid and direct but the Ska sound helps the song loosen up and rather than being straight punk, which it could easily be. Not bad at all.
Guy Like Me has some of the silliness from Paradise Lane and drops the Ska sound in favor of a more la, la, la acoustic harmony driven pop style. Would have felt more at home in the mid-sixties but the lads play well, there’s alot going on and they sound like they’d be alot of fun live. Final song, Don’t You Want To Be Loved By Me is back to a more direct form of song writing. The style is still quite relaxed but the quality of the song writing is on a higher level than Promise Lane and Guy Like Me.
All in all, pretty good. We weren’t expecting much but they’ve definitely cheered up our Monday morning. We recommend you have a listen to Ruby Lane and go from there. Check out their MySpace by Clicking Here.
