So, all original dates in Germany now sold out. 3 new dates have been added: 2 in Hannover and 1 in Dresden.

'84 was arguably the best line-up for Monsters of Rock. I missed this as I started going the year after and went from '85 to '88. Good times.

3:30 onwards for the cannons!

With this positive attitude you will not fail to have a good time. One of the finest moments in live music is For Those About to Rock....with the 12 cannons going off....enjoy.

I dread to think of the number of gigs and festivals I have been to but I have covered a lot of genres and rock and metal crowds are by far one of the more friendlier, less aggro, polite, more fun and up for it crowds there are. A tour manager friend has said the same; this is from an ops side...

I have seen Rammstein.....but I was sitting outside a bar in Ostkruez some 10 miles away from the Olympiastadion where they were playing...we could see their stage pyro lighting up the sky. I have seen videos of their shows...which are nuts. I read they deliberately design their stages so that...

When I was a teen me and friends used to travel to London in the mid to late 80s and saw most rock and metal acts of the time. I still love the spectacle and pantomime of a huge bells and whistles rock show and have seen ACDC, Metallica, Def Leppard and Maiden in recent years. I also used to...

Yes, extra dates in Dresden and Hannover. I just had an email.

They have added extra dates in Germany now. These have just gone up. Maybe they will do the same in the UK?

I regret never having seen Thin Lizzy, but they were just a few years before my gig going time. Unique sound, great songs, great musicianship and a charismatic front man.

Turn, I always have been :)

A pleasure! Don’t forget to give it the horns when you cross the finish line! punk:

Compare and contrast. I love this

The dates don’t really stack up with this claim. He struggled with addiction long before Live Aid and died from his issues 6 months after the gig. His wife had left him some time before due to his problems. The snub could not have been a “final tailspin.”

This is a good read. It also highlights Bon Scott’s superb lyric writing skills. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/30/acdc-their-40-greatest-songs-ranked

I saw Axl fronting them as well, I thought it was excellent….and extraordinary to say the least

The video of this show is just nuts. Everyone seems squeezed in like sardines.

True. Thinking about the times I have seen them, once was in the 80s and the 3 times over the last decade.....once on the last tour with Axl Rose singing. Whilst these last 3 shows are obvs not the ACDC of the 80s they were still very enjoyable and certainly fun.

You often need a special ticket to get down the front these days, inner rings and golden rings etc; general pitch admission doesnt cut it.

Metallica do similar these days as well.
