Trad-grip from Ulrich. Old school.

nice cardigan too

That was the snare Lars used on St. Anger. Untouched from that photo to the day that they recorded it.

For some reason I can't quote anyone?

Is that because I'm a noob, or because work forces me to use IE11?

Yes, I have exactly the same, but the only site I've noticed it on thus far is efests, I can't quote people and I can't paste. It makes no difference if it's in compatibility view, but as soon as I downgrade to ie10 it works again.

I thought the full drum kit for St Anger was arranged from old bins and pots and pans, horrible sounding drums on that album.

[swede]

yeah ive never heard of an album ruined by the sound of one instrument.....before that one....really did make it unlistenable dont know what lars was thinking! thankfulyl the tin can was retired for death magnetic!....hmm needs more cowbell

It was that coupled with the "no guitar solos from Kirk" policy that made that album stink so much.

Yes along with that Snare to be precise. The pots were found in the back alley of the studio on the day bought from a homeless man.

On another note has anybody heard them play St. Anger live recently? I saw them play it during the Rock Am Ring live stream and it was bloody awful stuff.

Saw that too. Awful stuff indeed. If they have to play anything off the album, Frantic is the only one really.

But they shouldn't play any of it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No Brian May guest spot, by the looks of it - this misconceived Queen & Adam Lambert thing is on the road in the US.

Would have expected him anyway because of differing views on badgers between himself and Mr Eavis though I would have thought that would also mean he probably wouldn't be keen on Metallica as well.

[Inconspicuous]

If they don't replace BAT-TE-RY with GLAS-TON-BURY, then they are missing a trick

[Inconspicuous]

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the Glastonbury

Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the Glastonbury

Cannot kill the family
Glastonbury is found in me
Glastonbury, Glastonbury.

^that would be cringey

Also, I can't fucking wait for this, 8days.

[FloorFiller]

new(er) studio version of Lords Of Summer

maybe / unfortunately a hint that it'll get played at Glastonbury, but i really hope not. 8 minutes of their set that could be used to play something else, i.e. Disposable Heroes

[Gnomicide]

I think there's no doubt we'll get Loss of Summer. It's been played at most shows and unless they can't decide what else to drop, it's staying put.

[FloorFiller]

it's not even a terrible song (although not a great one either) but it's a sure fire way to have the crowds leaving in droves / having a piss break. really hope they choose not to play it

[Gnomicide]

I don't know about leaving. no-one's going to think 'Well I've known them all so far but this one is new to me, I'm off!' Piss breaks though for those more familiar with Mettalica, I can see that.

Meanwhile, over on the official Metallica website forum, people are having a go at guessing the Glastonbury set list.

I think some of them may be a little nuts. They are all predicting Unforgiven 2 for some bizarre reason, one bloke has even thrown in a guest appearance from Richie Blackmore. The same Richie Blackmore who hasn't played anything remotely rock since the 1990s and has most recently been spotted playing the drums for his folk band.

'Tis interesting reading that forum (particularly the main 'Glastonbury' thread), seem a good bunch, apart from the guy who called Glastonbury a 'lame ass pop festival'

Certainly won't be rarities, I think there is enough apprehension about how they'll go down with a 'greatest hits' set, let alone a set full of rarities.

Its a bit Spinal Tap isn't it?

[Swine_Glasto2014]

Can't wait

[Inconspicuous]

Is it just me or do they a look a bit bored / tired / not really that interested, in the latest tour videos?

Hopefully they can up their game for Glastonbury as it's really a special one off gig. Lars seems to be talking a good game in the press, lets hope they can bring it to the Pyramid Stage.

[bluegel]

So excite to see Metallica. We don't go to Glastonbury for the music as not really our music and we often only see about 5 bands. But this year Metallica will be one of them, and anti flag too

[willutalk]

Cannot wait to see them ripping the Pyramid up a week today!
