Metallica 2014

[crazyguy]

Hopefully Metallica will take Jay Z's gag to a new twist and play an Iron Maiden song to hit back at Bruce Dickinson's comments regarding Glastonbury.

Or play an Arctic Monkeys song following Alex Turner's comments "Crying Lightning", maybe.

Or even a Mogwai song.

I've been so looking forward to this and booked the day off work but come down with tonsillitis and feel shit

[thegremlin_1999]

Not gonna lie, sat home on my sofa in a Metallica shirt bouncing already... Still more than an hour to go!

Excited much?

I'm just insanely jealous of those of you lucky, lucky bastards in that field right now!

[metallimuse]

I'm guessing opening with Blackend straight into either For Whom The Bell Tolls or Master of Puppets.

[thegremlin_1999]

I'd love it to be something like

Battery

Creeping death

For whom the bell tolls

Master of puppets

That's a hell of a first 4 songs!

[metallimuse]

I hope its a full on thrash assault the first couple of songs then I can see Fade To Black or Sanitarium just to calm it down abit for the non fans.

[wbarenno]

Seek and destroy anyone :-)

[thegremlin_1999]

Sanitarium would be ace, as would fade to black.

Hoping for lots of old stuff and not a lot post ...AJFA

Tho Fuel, King Nothing and Cyanide would be welcome!

[wbarenno]

Are they running late?

[thegremlin_1999]

Are they running late?

I swear you could hear ecstasy of gold when Lauren laverne was wittering on a minute ago!

[wbarenno]

Maybe bbc are showing it abit behind the live set

Hopefully not so they can censor James' swearing!

Very small crowd for it according to this telegraph reporter

Our Video man Chris Stone says: As Metallica's roadies run through final sound checks (I can confirm the show will be LOUD), there's still a lot of empty space at the top of the hill in front of the Pyramid stage. I'm sitting in exactly the same place as I was this time last year, but back then I could barely move for the crowds. To be fair that night the Rolling Stones headlined, but the crowd for Metallica seems fairly small by regular Pyramid headliner standards. Maybe it will be a good night for Jake Bugg.

He has put a pic on the blog aswell

[wbarenno]

Here we go :-)

[freeak]

What is going on with the feed why could we only see the top of the pyramid for 10 mins?

Sorted now they are on...

[dan8k]

The crowd dont get it........ Shame

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Crowd sound alright tbf

[mandolin]

They certainly do now!

[freeak]

Looking rather wet

[metallimuse]

The crowd sound into it to me.Who are all the people on the stage?

[mandolin]

Looking rather wet

??????

[wbarenno]

Just a Theroy but maybe theve put people behind them who are obviously fans stuck aload of microphones around them so when they sing to the songs its sounds alot louder then just the crowd singing.

[freeak]

From the footage its pissing it down...

[metallimuse]

Check out the crowd singing along to the intro to "...Roam"! Think this is gunna work out just fine.

[dan8k]

yeah i was going off the front of the crowd, still sombre in front of the railings, seems better at the back when the flare went off
