"Kerrang said it was a band beginning with 'm'" ...or something

[biscant]

When people were talking about the park stage slot that was not the hot rats or klaxons there was the odd mention of kerrang saying the band begins with m... or something. Was that official? If so where did it originate the radio station or magazine? I asked this at the time and the best response i got was 'it's metallica' which was quite good.

Perhaps it's M People. Oh God, I hope it is.

M People and Metallica would be awesome don't get me wrong. What I want to know is did Kerrang really say that and if so when?

[grandadcollective]

I think they were hinting at Muse.

[septemberwillow]

If it's from Kerrang, surely they mean the Magic Numbers...??

This topic orginates from my confusion shown in this previous topic. I am too lazy to go through every comment /index.php?showtopic=121767&st=120">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/index.p...1767&st=120 however from a brief scan somebody mentions the magazine but I wouldn't mind knowing the full quote. Feel free to continue naming bands beginning with m for the time being though

[TheSeventhOne]

.... The Mibertines?

[sinhala]

I think it will be Michael Eavis & The Bovine Three

[sureth1ng]

Mars Volta....that would put a smile on my face.

I doubt it would be them though, in fact I doubt 99% of Glasto goers prob wouldnt have even heard of them.

Prob hinting at Muse which will also rock

[VCK]

I hope it's Metallica.

I think the band beginning with M is a recent embellishment to this rumour. As I recall Kerrang suggested it was one fo the biggest bands in the world, but offered no further info. However, they themselves may well have fallen for the rumours that were circulating at the time (not beyond the realms of possibility, I'd certainly believe they could fall for it if it was the NME!)...

Anyway...I asked a member of Muse's crew whether they were playing (I said there were mumblings on the efests board that they were)...the reply I got suggested that they weren't (but he did update his facebook to say "man, I hate it when I find out what I'm doing next from some website!", but this could be a reference to the gig they are playing on Friday the 26th rather than the enquiry about Glasto)...make of that what you will. On the otherhand, a confirmation from a member of Klaxons suggests that they are the Saturday suprise guests on the park stage (with Hot Rats and A.N.Other there on Friday)..if I had to guess, I'd say the Saturday slot is Klaxons, but you never know!
