Metallica 2014

[Gnomicide]

(SR) Metallica Sat 28th, Pyramid Stage

Hoo Yeah!

[soulkitchen]

Interesting.

I wonder what Neils heard which now places them on the Pyramid? Only thing I can think of is that he's heard who is headlining the Saturday Other?

Nope. I'm now scratching my head over who this could be.

[Vieuphoria]

It was always obvious they'd never headline Other, to be fair.

I think it'll down really well on Pyramid, if it turns out to be true anyway.

Please don't go there.

[FloorFiller]

wahoo!

[eFestivals]

and you'd be wrong.

If it's true they're playing the pyramid, then until Prince decided not to play they were defo going to be on the other.

[Wooderson]

"Whiplash" on the Pyramid?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Back on the blower to Don Henley about headlining that Other Stage...

never thought i'd be glad about Prince not being at the festival, but i really am, as that would've been a horrible horrible clash

here's hoping it's Skrillex / somebody i'm massively not interested in on the Other against them

[pie_and_a_pint]

Nope. I'm now scratching my head over who this could be.

Manic Street Preachers?

Not that it matters, since EVERYONE will be watching Metallica.

[The60ftOctopus]

Nope. I'm now scratching my head over who this could be.

Skrillex?

[RatSpeaks]

Nope. I'm now scratching my head over who this could be.

Disclosure maybe? When the older rock band is on the Pyramid they often have a more dancey act on the Other. See Rolling Stones/C&S last year

[Riggins]

*prays for The National*

re Metallica, where should I start?

[Gnomicide]

Big dance act makes perfect sense.

[soulkitchen]

I think Pixies would be a good shout although I reckon it'll be something a bit more crowd friendly.

their album Master Of Puppets or if you're not that in to thrash metal, self titled / The Black Album. then Ride The Lightning

[Wooderson]

Proper courageous booking from Planet Eavis. Kudos.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

If Glasto are going to have a niche band on the main stage the least they can do is get a significant Other headliner, surely. As for who that could be though..

EVERYONE will be watching Metallica.

No.

i reckon Skrillex (the dance headliner) will probably go up against Arcade Fire, so they will probably have a more 'Glastonbury-esque' band on Other vs Metallica, example: The National (who i personally don't think are big enough, but who knows)

better not be The Pixies / somebody like that or i'll have a meltdown (although Metallica still win every time)

I think it will be a poppy dance act.

I will definitely go and see metallica. I think this is going to be harder to watch all the way through even than Jay Z though. The lead singers shouty screamy voice is horrific.

Few more switched-on and charismatic frontmen out there IMO.

[TheJackson]

Metallica/Disclosure clash would be horrific for me.

[russycarps]

which is why I want to watch it all. They are all supreme showmen right??

It's just that metal-style of singing I dont like, not him personally.

Neil thought Paolo Nutini was a contender when we were looking at the route of who could have been originally booked to sub Prince then bumped up, and who is also a bit of a different direction from the rockier Kasabian/Arcade Fire...if he was ever a contender for Pyramid headliner (though I somehow doubt that) surely he's got to be in the frame for the Other, surely.

I think it will be a poppy dance act.

Disclosure are confirmed to be playing, and given Emily Eavis couldn't hold it in maybe that's a sign they've got a big slot...?

EDIT: Sorry TheJackson, posted at the same time.
