Metallica Superthread -All Metallica discussion goes in here

scudzilla

maybe, just maybe, we could get a Dublin date around Glasto time, they can't fit it into the main schedule but Glasto is out there all alone date wise

Had a look at Metallica's upcoming tour dates, and there's a 2 week gap between their appearance at Pinkpop in Holland and their slot at Glastonbury.

9/6/2014 Landgraaf, Netherlands Pinkpop Festival @ Megaland Tickets
28/6/2014 Pilton, England Glastonbury Festival @ Worthy Farm


What are the chances of an Irish show squeezed into those 2 weeks???

Mushy

Unless its an indoor show then slim to none cos it wouldnt come close to selling out.

Lars hit the nail on the head in his interview with this quote

To be brutally honest Lars is flattering himself somewhat there. The only people who have strong opinions on Metallica anymore are the diehard fans. The rest of the world stopped giving a **** a very long time ago.

Speaking of St.Anger; I remember MTV broadcasting their Rock am Ring performance live back in 2003. They were quite awesome. I think that was probably the last tour where they still really on their game.

Can't wait for Metallica to headline Glasto, it going's to be great. I love how Metallica just polarise people regardless, it's going to be an interesting Saturday night on the Pryamid Stage .

It might have a negative impact on Glastonbury's ability to attract it's usual hipster audience. Metallica wouldn't be nearly ironic enough for them to even pretend to like.

Their ability to attract Glasto's hipster audience, it sold out months ago.

Glastonbury sold out before they were announced, people moaned about Jay-Z he was good. Metallica are going to put on a good show, The Stones last year left much younger bands in their wake, having a feeling Metallica will do the same.

That's right. Glastonbury usually sells out before announcing the line up. Should be a lot of nervous trust fund kids in skinny jeans and black rimmed specs that weekend.

There will be nary a banjo on sight when Metallica are on, Glastonbury is a really diverse festival don't know why people are upset about this. I'm much more upset over Kasabian headlining on the Sunday and Mumford and Sons headlined Sunday last year

Do they still show glasto on the telly? Would be well worth the watch this year at any rate.

The hipsters were pissed off with the Metallica announcement 6 months ago. Now it's such a mainstream opinion.


Dear god I hate hipsters!

If it was the 02, I'd be there in a heartbeat!?

The reason there is hostility is becasue metal/rock can be seen as the uncoolest thing in the world to a hipster.

The word hipster is starting to lose any meaning at this stage, I mean people are allowed to like it or not. Fair play to Eavis for doing it, it's good Glastonbury can shake up it's headlining slots.

that's it, they do deserve to be there, and they will rise to the occasion.

Man I can't wait, bet you the pryamid stage will be packed for it, for all their perceived failings in the last 20 years, live there pretty spot on.

Looks like we have an idea when Metallica start putting together their 10th studio album.

We’ve all said to each other that September is gonna be the time when we buckle down.

I thought the hipster craze was over? If not it's been around well past its sell by date. I'd like to think Glastonbury is fairly open to different genres.

It lost its meaning years ago. Now it's just a word thrown around by lazy journalists and people who can't think for themselves.

I think it's great that Metallica are headlining Glasto, it's something a bit different for the festival and I'm looking forward to seeing BBC's coverage of their set (if they show it).

Pity that almost 4 years later, NEM and ES are still almost always the last 2 songs played in the main set and the encore normally starts with a cover and ends with S&D.

Lucky you being at the 2 nights :P, the question is which night was the best. (Cuz night #2 didn't get Creeping Death) :mad:.

That's the casual fan for ya, was disappointed when they started playing Nothing Else Matters then segue that into Enter Sandman, wish Metallica would drop those 2 and play a deep cut.
