"I'm interested to see who would Sub them if they headlined the Pyramid"

Jack Johnson - obviously

[Matt42]

If I was eavis i'd just drop money on thom yorke's doorstep right now and say

"That's it, you're headlining the saturday whether you like it or not... hurry up with the album".

[Matt42]

The scariest thought ever posted here.

Hey I think I could book a good glastonbury, I'd lurk these forums a year before the fest and draw inspiration from there...

Booking any one festival would be a breeze for most people I reckon.

The difficulty comes after you've used up all your favourite bands.

I'd book people that I knew would fit in the position i'd place them... not just my favourite bands.

There's only so much reggae people can cope with

you'd still run out of ideas very quickly I reckon. Most people would.

Which is why every established fest has the same bands on repeat.

QOTSA to sub Metallica?

Alternatively, Radiohead doing a one off career spanning set would be great.

QOTSA look to be headlining R&L, which would make this unlikely.

As much as i would love Radiohead I think coldplay would be the easiest band to persuade to play if desperate

Hmmmm, not so sure about that info - some of the "guaranteed right" info from more than one source has already been proven as wrong.

who cares? They're shit.

THIS!

Metal for people who are too scared to grow their hair long in case they upset their "team leader" at work.

or back in 1980(ish), metal for people with no ears.

Presume you're talking about Iron Maiden?

nope, they had identifiable tunes (even if there's only two of them ).

[Englishdragon]

I'm interested to see who would Sub them if they headlined the Pyramid, before it didn't seem to bad having anyone before them on the other but with the Pyramid it could be anyone. Would loved it to be Placebo on the Other stage though.

I hope we get some heavier (as in Heavier for Glastonbury) bands play on the Saturday.

Enter Shikari went down well last year, be nice to see them move up to the Pyramid.

Did you see their crowd last year? I turned up halfway through their first song and got right near the middle at the front.

No way they could pull a pyramid crowd

I thought it was pretty busy, I have the full set downloaded on my computer so Ill take a look.

Still they went down well and the reviews for their set were really good. The video clip on BBC was in the top 5 viewed videos for Glastonbury until they got taken down.

Silly , just because they are popular and pretty mainstream now doesn't mean Kill em All and Master of Puppets are not absolute classic albums of the genre and don't forget they pretty much invented thrash metal (which I spose doesn't mean anything if you don't like that kind of music)

Not the heaviest metal band out there but one of the most technical and skilled

Sorry it's not the Killers again

just going to email this to my metal friend, I'll get back to you shortly...

[monkey1989]

well who then ?

[ThomThomDrum]

Are Metallica not one of the "Big Four" who are said to have "invented" trash metal?

I know fuck all on this but I do recall this being said to me before.......the others being Slayer, Anthrax and Iron Maiden?

Edit - Sorry Iron Maiden are not Megadeath are apparently

Off the top of my head I'd say venom, Judas Priest Motörhead were all going before Metallica and probably influenced their 'thrash' sound

[monkey1989]

surely anybody into metal can appreciate Metallica before the Load / Reload albums

p.s why is your friend the authority on metal ?
