Slane is teh suckZ

Hey peeps,

We haven't had a news/whatever we tell you is news stories for 3 days :O Why you ask? Coz this blog isn't my life i say. To make up for it, I (sonic c - those other fools probably haven't noticed yet) redid the blog a little so it doesn't look like poo. I also made a coolZ looking logo. I'm not able to make the hit counter thing work right yet though :( Help me out world wide web!

Anywayz, on to the music (i hate internet related stuff^).

The announcement of whose going to play Ireland's worst, most outdated gig, Slane Castle, is upon us with the announcement to be made real soon. Therefore, it's only right that we make a list of suspects (and known offenders) who will help rake in the monies thanks to the extortionist prices.

So here we go:




The Killers:

The Killers recently sold out their entire UK/Ireland tour (the one week ago kind of recent) in 2.5 hours, plus they have a new album out soon so they're in with a shot. However, shockingly enough, The Killers may be simply too tasteful for Slane and therefore unlikely.

AC/DC:

These guys have been rumoured for Slane for ages (mainly by people who want them to play and have no input whatsoever). They announced 3 UK dates today (no Irish dates) so they're in with a good shot.

Coldplay:
They've only ever supported at Slane, but they've never had an opportunity to steal everyone that attends' money on a grand scale so they seem like they woiuld play. However, i have an inkling that they have souls so they won't. Plus they're hitting up the O2 soon so that's plenty of Coldplay.

Kanye West:
*Sigh" Kanye West is far too good to play Slane unfortunately. He is simply too cool and his show sounds too cool (muppets anyone - talk about an 80s throwback). He'd defo rock the castle if he played. Which is won't be :(



Oasis:
These guys are pretty much favourites to play at this point. I've had enough of Oasis for a while, even though they don't really offend me. They'd be an a'ight choice and a million times better than the last choice.


U2:

I've seen U2 at Slane and they were lame. They have a new album coming so hopefully that'll be all they threaten us with. If they do play Slane, it'll mean both they and tens of thousands of U2 fans will be extracted from society for a day. We here at FTCZ can only dream everyday could be like this...
