Metallica 2014

[The_Wiseman]

My head hurts. Off to Bryan Ferry on BBC4.Sorry I did try....

I think they are too soft,this isn't Metallica as they've been the past few years.

[Mud Dweller]

Very very strange video they come on to

They need to do something proper thrash next or I have the suspicion this may be a 'Metallilight' set

It was always going to be like this i thought. They want to appeal to a festival crowd that the large majority have never given metal a chance.

If they were too thrash i think people would say its to much of a noise. Theve got to reach a middle point i supose

[metallimuse]

It's early into the set I know but for me I'm disappointed.

People ask me at work tomorrow if that's what Metallica are like I will say no,they normally rock.This just isn't a fair representation for us fans who have followed them for decades.This isn't my Metallica.

[thegremlin_1999]

It started well with Creeping Death...

Needs more heavy tho I agree!

Though wbarenno is right, it was always gonna be lighter than a standard Metallica set. Still, there's still some heavy hitters to come even if it's just Puppets and Seek and Destroy...

It's just a shame they can't cut the set / power early and save us all from the pain then if even fans think they're shite.

[wbarenno]

They arent showing the crowd much at all are they? Would this be the first gig theve done without a mosh pit :-)

I've been reliably informed that Eli Wallach (sorry if the spelling is wrong) died very, very recently. So it may be a tribute to him. Also (I've been informed) the film is "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" which might make reference to their saying that all music should be allowed at Glastonbury. The fox hunting I guess (and I mean guess) is a reference to the Facebook stuff about one of them hunting bears, Michael Eavis' not disagreeing with the badger cull, something completely different.

I'm beginning to realise that:

- I may be not sober

- I may be treating you lot as my glasto-friends

and having that level of conversation with you.

In which case, thank you. It's been a pleasure knowing you. Wanna listen to a couple more before we go??

[lightning1000]

A lot of people appear to be having a great time. But I guess if a few people on a festival forum aren't happy then it's a failure

[dan8k]

The people in the background remind me of mj earth song at the brits, heres hoping for Jarvis.

Your either gonna like it or not to be fair and i like it:-)

[freeak]

Yep, gave it a try but i am not a metal fan and it does nothing for me.

The competing headliners this are so weak. If I was there would have hopefully have skipped all the headliners and gone to se corner early.

[wbarenno]

Apart from the fans down the front the crowd dont look into it at all do they?

[the wonderwhy]

This is fucking awesome

[TenInchToenaiIs]

That guy on his phone just then was texting his mum telling her he wont be long

[Stanton]

I'm not really a metal fan but like to think I have an open mind when it comes to music. After the bad press they got when announced I decided I was gonna give them a chance on the beeb tonight. So far, I must say I'm enjoying it. Great musicians individually and tight as a band. I may be watching a watered down version of their usual performance going by some of the previous comments but it's all I have to go on.

I thought the same about the rolling stones last year, but by all accounts everyone who went said they loved it.

Tv never catches the atmosphere at a gig very well.

[sprigpod]

The people at the back are metclub members

[wbarenno]

Mosh pit,fucking have it :-)

I wouldn't say it's watered down, just a different setlist that isn't thrash heavy. Certain fans just want them to play things that are over 20 years old and nothing else.

arse licking. fox hunting. controversial. fun. metal.

you're welcome. I'm drunk.

[thegremlin_1999]

I'm not gonna lie, this might not be as heavy/thrashy as I'd like but I'm still jumping around my living room like a loon to MoP....

[JonSnuh]

Not a metal/Metallica fan but really enjoying this so far
