Metallica...yes or no poll. Will you be there?

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

The Load/Reload/St Anger era of Metallica says otherwise. Even if both albums were poor.

I try to pretend Lulu didn't happen.

[airwaves]

Oh f*ck yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[Staff_Sav]

Looks like I'm the only person heading to see MGMT in the JP tent. I'll bring my bag of cats to swing around. Although I'm sure I will get to see a bit of the start or finish of Metallica depending on how much of their sets clash

[austrian_zeppelin]

of course i will be there. one of the best live bands ever. yes their output has been average after their first five albums (but how many bands master even 2 genius, genre defining, albums let alone 5), but they ALWAYS deliver. very few things in live music beat the Ecstasy of Gold intro followed by a Metallica riff. shame about the Mogwai clash, but wether 1000 or 100000 at the Pyramid for this, it will be one of the best gigs Glastonbury has ever witnessed. trust me.

Metallica, or Gong? Gong or Metallica?

[sonicpurveyor]

Never ever thought I'd see a metal band headline Glasto, I'm an old skool metal head from the 80's and though my music tastes are drastically changed and varied over the years Metallica are still one of my fav bands, but still prefer the pre black album era. I felt really old last night reminicing about the first time I saw them, I'm 43 but my head says im in my 20's, I managed to catch them on the Master of Puppets tour just before Cliff Burton was killed, 28 years ago!!!! I'm heading straight for the barrier!!

[guypjfreak]

Just interested.

[Purple aki squat]

Can't wait.

Like a few others in here I've never been really interested in Download/Sonisphere so I'm glad they're playing. Big fan of rock and metal but those festivals have way to much rubbish filler on their lineups year-on-year so I've never been tempted to part with my cash.

[Messy]

And have never waivered from within a very narrow band one bit over the past 30 years. The mandatory poses incorporating standing with arms out to side (the crucifixion), the forefinger versus small finger pose (devil hands) and of course their patented legs wide open (The Pre-Chad Kroeger).

Each to their own. I'm more into the subtle beeps and tweeks of electronica (aka Doof Doof).

[Keithy]

Not that fussed with the main headliners; having spent nearly every glastonbury watching one of the headliners, this year post 9:30pm I intend to we what else goes on around the site

[BarryCrocker]

I think it's fair to say they haven't waivered from within a very narrow band in the last 20 years, sure.

I'm not a Metallica fan these days by any means(I was when I was 16), I just thought comapring them to Mumford & Suns was quite unfair.

[Boris The Spider]

Me & my mum went to see Metallica once, they were ace!

[PaulieV]

I love variety at Glastonbury but Metallica headlining Saturday on the Pyramid is, for me, a mistake. Sure they could be there but headlining that stage seems like a mistep. I think it's going to be very quiet compared to other years. But hey, may be it's time to give the twelve people who like that kind of thing what they want

As for me, I'll be having a blast elsewhere.

I'm at peace with them headlining but am I the only one wondering if the Eavii were left struggling for big acts this year?

Bryan Ferry for me

[Zoo Music Girl]

I went for the full set option, but it will obviously depend on how I feel on the day. John Grant is a must, which means I may miss the start - annoying.

Heard a clip of 'Fuel' on 6music when they were talking about it and actually got goosebumps! Has the potential to be epic and since seeing their name on the poster I feel way more excited than I thought I would.

[glastonburynoodles]

A most definite no, but I'm the same for the other two headliners as well.

[bamber]

Hell No. It won't work, retrograde choice, they are anti-musical monsters.

[Wanderlei]

I'm up for it, but it depends if there are any clashes. I wouldn't miss Pixies for Metallica

[Sawdusty surfer]

Quite an even spilt.

Not going to be the largest crowd by the look of it.
