Metallica 2014

[pedmills]

I dont see it that way. Metal is generally a genre you like or you dont. There isnt much middle ground with it.

I dont think there are 70,000 metal fans among a glastonbury audience, so it is a mistake to put them on the pyramid.

I think non-metal fans will put up with or even enjoy the metal if it is sandwiched between slower and more accessible songs: Enter Sandman, One, Nothing Else Matters, Whiskey in the Jar etc

[Gnomicide]

As will I, and thousands of others. I wonder how many of us will still be there by the end though!

Do metallica have many female fans I wonder? Any girls on this forum a fan of them? Please someone shatter my stereotypes.

My mates Mrs is a huge fan. Lots of women there when they played Big Day Out and man, it was hot. 2010 hot. I remember it well.

Yeah - it is the latter bit that's up for debate.

To sum up the discussion thus far the main question is, how narrow minded is the average Glastonbury goer? The answer most people seem to be getting is"very".

It's a pretty depressing way of looking at people IMO, I'd like to think that people were more open minded.

I've not seen any closed mind-comments, neither have I seen anything that's saying "how narrow minded is the average Glastonbury goer".

At the end of the day people like what they like, and it only takes a look at the world around you to see that metal is one of the less-liked genres.

I wouldn't say any issue with the average Glastonbury goer is closed minds, but I would say the average Glastonbury goer's often has shit musical tastes. You only have to consider some of the very shit acts that have got massive crowds to see where i'm coming from with that.

Ah for fucks sake everyone, if it's gonna be Metallica then it's metallica, if you don't like them go somewhere else

I think you'd be surprised. I am not a metal fan at all and never have been, but I watched Metallica at Reading a few years back as I was intrigued and wanted to see what the fuss was about. Despite personally not enjoying the music, the performance was impressive and I could understand why so many people were there.

They have a huge following and although I will not be watching them, I would put money on the stage being packed with a mixture of fans and those that are open minded enough to see something a bit different to the "norm"

Why the "for fucks sake"?

No one is saying they're unsuitable to play or to headline.

Some are saying they don't like them (there's no band that everyone likes), and there's a discussion going on about how people think they'll go down. There's nothing exasperating in any of that.

If what you've said is all that there's to be, I might as well shut these forums down today.

[eFestivals]

I could understand why so many people were there.

well, that's not difficult to understand. Most people had bought tickets because Mteallica were playing.

Spot the difference with glasto?

[The Nal]

So its agreed then, to appease everyone. Put them them in the Acoustic Tent

[mcshed]

I think that's a mute point!

Is this a subtle joke where you say mute instead of moot as he said squid instead of squib?

[russycarps]

Ah for fucks sake everyone, if it's gonna be Metallica then it's metallica, if you don't like them go somewhere else

havent you got a list to be inventing?

[nufc1978]

It's invented and sitting in my tv cabinet draw

and says Prince is 85% booked.

[Yesiamaduck]

and says Prince is 85% booked.

To be fair that means it said the was a 15% he wouldn't be booked

[nufc1978]

We'll at one time they must have got so far with negotiations that he was on it

[eFestivals]

and to even more fair, I knew for sure it was wrong when nufc1978 posted it.

But funnily enough, it did match what I'd heard about a month prior, along with some other made up tosh that's been doing the rounds amongst those who really should know better.

Nope.

As i've said to you more than once, those lists you've seen have acts on who they want to book, not (necessarily) who they've booked.

You didn't seem to want to accept that previously, but what's happened with Prince should have now put you straight on that.

[evilduck]

They are definitely going to need to do something different to their usual set if they want to win over the crowd. I can't imagine metal fans make up a large amount of the general Glastonbury audience.

[beecee]

Is this a subtle joke where you say mute instead of moot as he said squid instead of squib?

Yup. And he said that because someone said Taylor instead of tailor.

All pretty puerile, but it amused me :-)

[jeffie]

Are they Metal, or are they Rock?

[Gnomicide]

None more metal!

Well obviously there is but once upon a time....

'Course they're metal.

[504329lt]

Metallica sounds preferable to Prince.

[jeffie]

Take your point.

Rock vs Metal

Rock music or simply rock is one of the most revered music genres especially in the west. It evolved from a combination of earlier genres among which is rock and roll and rockabilly in the 1950s. Folk rock emerged in the 1960s as a result of blending folk music with rock, and blues rock was created by mixing rock themes with blues as was jazz rock from the fusion of jazz with rock. Moving into the 1970s rock incorporated traces of soul, funk and Latino music and during this time too, rock evolved into various subgenres including hard rock, heavy metal or metal, soft rock progressive and punk rock. The 1980s rock evolution produced subgenres like alternative rock, hard-core punk and synth-rock with grunge rock, Britpop and nu metal coming in the 1990s.

Metal rock or sometimes referred to as hard metal rock has its roots in the blues and psychedelic rock subgenres. The typical metal rock’s theme is revolves around a thick, heavy electric guitar and drums sound characterized by highly amplified distortion and rapid guitar solos. It’s referred to as the most extreme in terms of machismo, volume and theatricality of all rock subgenres and its fans are known as headbangers.

Difference in sound
Rock or may be plain hard rock utilizes the classic overdrive sound created when the tubes on an amplifier or specific part on it like the drive knob have been pushed to the limit. This creates a long sustained sound with a twang and the distortion is light. As for metal rock the distortion is strong as the overdrive is sustained longer creating a deeper, heavier sound. With plain hard rock a classic drum set with no double bass pedal is used. Double bass pedal is when you have got two pedals or just one with two separate mallets attached to a double chained rod. Heavy metal utilizes plenty of these. Some early metal rock artists include Led Zeppelin, deep purple and Black Sabbath and all these got huge fan followings.

Summary:
1. Rock is the main music genre while metal is a sub genre of rock.
2. Rock sound’s overdrive has a lighter distortion than metal rock which has strong distortion.
3. Metal rock has a deeper, heavier sound than plain rock or simply rock sound.
4. Rock uses classic drum set without double bass pedal while metal uses double bass pedal for the drum set.
