Pixies v Metallica

[Likelylad87]

Surely not? This clash would be unreal. How likely is it?

[MrMac]

My view is 87% likely lad.

[mrtourette]

That's crazy, more like 79%

Could easily end up with Metallica vs Pixies vs Dexys vs Bryan Ferry. A particularly nasty one for me.

I'd probably divide my time 50/50 between Dexys and Metallica (not including time in transit between the two stages).

Was curious enough to do five Metallica songs to 'try out' metal but have been listening to Pixies (only really knew the hits before) and if they clash I'll be 100% at the Other Stage.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Dexys vs Pixies is the clash of the weekend for me. Metallica? Meh...

[smogo]

I love Metallica's recorded work, 1986-91, but find them very boring live, so it'd be Pixies for me.

[math125]

Pixies. Normally after 10 minutes of seeing any metal band I reach the conclusion 'this is silly'. In some part though this is due to the crowd. A glastonbury audience may make a difference but I won't be there to find out.

Is this Pyramid and Other? Bastille or whoever in the John Peel, or the dance village main stage, will be VERY busy if this is the case...

[Homer]

JP has a 50% chance of being MGMT (they're headlining Sat or Sun).

[Boopickledaddy]

Pixies are a must see for me.

I would prefer a Metallica/ Pixies clash to a Jack White / Pixies clash... that would be really terrible

[LondonTom]

Looks fairly likely

I'm going for Metellica, just because I'm likely to want to see Pixies again in the future at their own gig or something. (Actually I might even get Field Day tickets if this does transpire).

Pixies all the way for me, can't wait, I've been looking forward to this since I first started going to Glastonbury in 1994!

[Helephantelope]

When I have a clash and have seen one of the bands before I almost always see the other. So although I know more Pixies than Metallica the fact I have already seen them at a festival (Benicassim - I forget which year) means I will definitely be at the Pyramid on Saturday.

[cdm22]

Easy one for me having seen Pixies 3 or 4 times (the last time being last November) and having never seen Metallica and unlikely to pay for a gig just to see them

Oh, and was 2nd row for Bryan Ferry a few months ago too so that also makes it easier. His female drummer was awesome

It's a shame if this happens as I would have given Metallica a little go. Having said that, seen em twice without trying to and I do love Pixies. Bit gutted about the potential Bryan Ferry clash as I love Roxy Music but I have to say Dexy's were pretty dull at Electric Picnic, sing-a-long 'Eileen' aside.

[elbongo]

Scuse the light ignorance, think metallica is an awful addition personally, however if so which stage is it likely? Again I don't see the appeal and wondered what the outcry for a big slot would be ya get me?

Pixies for me barring clashes...

[Monkismo]

Metallica for me. Saw Pixies In Benicassim when Kim was still in the band and when they weren't pedalling a substandard set of new tracks masquerading as an album. I'm also much less likely to ever see Metallica again at either their own gig or a festival because I cannot stand arena gigs and I would never consider going to the likes of Sonisphere or Download. It's a shit clash though if it happens cos I love them both.

[rjb94]

I prefer Pixies, but I'll be at Metallica as I'm seeing Pixies the following week. Also, while I like Metallica, they're not a band I'd shell out to see in their own right, so a festival is the only place I'm gonna see them really.

[Perks]

This will be a grim clash. really hope it doesn't happen. but if it does, Metallica for me, has to be, I couldn't be anywhere else while they rocked the Pyramid.

[Perks]

Bastille aren't on the line up yet though, are they?

[Helephantelope]

If it was the same one as me then it was 2006. Strokes, Morrissey, Scissor Sisters and Depeche Mode were the other "headliners".
