i always wonder who it is that is actually going to Metallica shows these days?

i mean, don't get me wrong, i like the first four albums as much as the next guy, and i even like the Black album (and, controversially, i'll even admit that i like the Black album more than Kill 'em All).

but Metallica have not released anything good since 1991.

in all my years of going to metal gigs - i have never, EVER spoken to anyone, at all, EVER that says they actually like anything they have released since then.

so who is going to these shows?

 

New album and hard wired were both decent tbf

Can they risk having someone like Metallica in the Churnups slot? Surely the general punter doesn't know enough of their songs.

You'd have a mass emptying of the Pyramid which could pose a safety risk.

Course you can. I doubt anyone in the field for the Churnups didn't know who it was apart from booze casualties and people who didn't give a sh*t what they were watching as they sit at the Pyramid all day.

Would love to see Basement Jaxx back with a full live show, 25 years of Remedy this year but don’t see it happening. Where would they play? West Holts headliner?

Unlikely I think after Japanese Breakfast last year failing to make it in time after a similar euro date. 

It would also make it 8 shows in 9 days for them

👋 Hardwired, Death Magnetic, 72 Seasons all decent. Load and Reload both had their moments. Basically everything apart from the unlistenable St. Anger has had at least some merit.

Is this a wind up? Metallica, one of the biggest bands there's ever been..?

plus, they have already headlined the festival previously! So clearly there wouldn't be a mass exodus.

That is true of so many stadium/Arena bands though isn't it?  It's full of people that want to hear the stuff they love (usually the earlier stuff) and then don't mind the new stuff.

If you think of 2 of the touted Pyramid headliners for this year you don't exactly hear people very excited for new Coldplay material or Stevie Wonder material (I'm sure they will be out there in large numbers) but they are still going to be packing out the field with people like us. 

I still listen to new stuff from a band I loved which has massively gone off the boil in the hope that it is going to be a return to form or something as good as the earlier albums.  Very often a game of rapidly decreasing returns but sometimes a band hit's a late run of form.

After all their years of stickering the long-drops, perhaps the festival should reward the hard work of Seize The Day and impose one of their stickers onto the poster!

Saw them support Stevie Wonder @ BST in 2010.

He was good fun. Not sure if he’d still have the same snake hips 14 years later!

Just ended up down a youtube rabbit hole out of interest as I know they were about last year. We may have missed out on them last year on that merit... yeh the hips not so much any more 🤣

But vocals and band still sounding great...I stand by my choice and rather jel you got to see them last time!

Stornoway were brilliant the other night. They never fail to impress. I'd love to see them back at Glastonbury where they belong.

A lot of who have been mentioned already but also -

Green Velvet @ Arcadia

[TheDayman]

Anyone remember Little Big? They kind of blew up around covid with this tune if I remember correctly -

 

Looks like they had to leave for the US shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. I'd like to see these at the farm, it seems like they'd bring the party and would be a great fit for the festival
