Pixies v Metallica

[justbhoy]

The more people at both the better. Will give me more space to dance about like a knob at Dj Pierre.

Hopefully there's someone decent on at The Park.

Not seen either but I'm not a big fan of Metallica so it would have to be Pixies (if I was going )

Tough choice! Will probably end up at Pixies as I've never seen them and absolutely love them, but Metallica were great both times I've seen them despite me not being a huge fan. Also heard mixed things about Pixies festival shows, and Metallica at Glastonbury could be something special!

[addicted2noise]

Are the Pixies definitely playing the Saturday? It just seems an unlikely clash since both acts kind of appeal to the same audience. I thought the other stage headliners would be someone like disclosure who'd provide more of a counterbalance.

Seen Metallica many, many times, IMHO they are a league above any other band on the bill by some way! However they are used to playing to die hard fans who know every song word for word. Not going to be easy to win over a non-metal crowd but I'm sure they will be up for the challenge. I'm getting goose bumps just thinking about 'Ecstasy of Gold' being blasted out in front the flags of the Pyramid Stage and then hopefully followed by Creeping Death, Master, One, Am I Evil, Blackened, Seek and Destroy, Cyanide, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Sandman etc. etc.

Really hope they are confirmed soon, I think they will, not because of what people are saying, its what they are not! Knowing Metallica I am sure they would have quashed the rumours if they weren't planning to play.

Glastonbury you're in for a legendary perfomance I'm sure!

Personally this clash makes no sense to me whatsoever. There could easily be a big cross over in fans, would it not make sense to have something dance/pop on the Other stage?

Pixies for me. Horrible clash if it happens as I think Metallica would be a really good show too.

Having said that sods law says I'll be scheduled to work Sat night so will see neither.

[AndrewMcF]

I'm dying to see both of them, will probably let the decision be made by those camping with me!

[topmarksbri]

I get the argument about the split fanbase but looking at potential Saturday night head liners across the major stages would this not just mean SE corner gets packed really early or dance village get over busy?

Again I'm only speaking from my own view point but I can't see what really appeals to younger people. The Chase and Status/Stones split made perfect sense, Pyramid will always be busy but also putting on something completely different for people who aren't interested. Not sure about how the tour dates work out but would this not be the night to put J5 on West Holts or push Disclosure on Other?

(For the record I am a young person, I obviously went to Stones)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Will give Metallica a crack of the whip. If - or when - I tire of the thrashing, I'll pootle over to the Holts for Bryan Ferry's big finish.
