How's that going to go down with the kids? 
Looking forward to it and I might have to sacrifice some of the Columbia vs Uruguay game for it.
It WILL be a spectacular stage show

Looking forward to seeing Burt Lahr on Vocals and Lead Guitar

Sad but true.

Who's Burt Lahr?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallica Guess they'll be onstage around 10pm - are BBC2 broadcasting the whole set? |

By:
I think (and this is quite the leap) he's trying to compare James Hetfield to the Lion in the wizard of oz?
He did look a bit like him sometimes I suppose, 20 years ago! Also inaccurate as Hetfield is Vocals and Rhythm guitar, which, not only spoiled the entire joke for me, it's spoiled my weekend and all enjoyment of Metallica's music. |

First time I saw Metallica was at Donington in 1985 or 6.
Noisy barstewards sent me to sleep - mind you, there was some of that hashish stuff around at the time They're still (fairly) noisy barstewards but I salute them and their stage show |

NMTB, when are the Beeb showing Tallica???
|

By:
These look like a cross between Chas & Dave and Dexy's Midnight Runners - but worse
 |
|
By:
Oh yeah, bring it on!
|
|
By:
I thought they were coming on at 9:45?
 I've set up my own mosh pit in front of the tv and filled a couple bottles of piss to throw around the living room, this delay is harshing my buzz. Oh here we go, maybe. |
|
By:
The glastonbury web site says they should be on by now but running late isn't unusual for a festival i suppose.
|
|
By:
BBC2 intro now
- for the uninitiated LOL, had a few bottles of piss land on my napper at Donny! |
|
By:
Oh THAT is cool, they've got a lot of fans BEHIND them. Either that or Marshall stacks look very human like these days.
|
|
By:
LOL Creeping death is from 1984. That's like you going to Donnington in 1985 and the headling act playing a song from 1955 as an opener
 Actually if AC/DC had been headling, that might have been possible? |
|
By:
Always over hyped imo.
|
|
By:
great stuff, wherever I may roam
|
|
By:
Would love to see AC/DC at glastonbury....still the masters of metal imo (though admittedly i did kind of lose touch after for those about to rock album!!)
|
|
By:
that was well said in fairness
|
|
By:
AC/DC have more widespread appeal really, more accessable blues based.
I've noticed a lot of adverts on now with tracks from the 60s/70s on them. It would not surprise me in the LEAST if in 40 years time adverts have AC/DC on them, but 1D and most of the crap in the charts will be long forgotten. |
|
By:
Yes exactly....its the bluesy element of early ac/dc that got me into them....a very rhythm & blues feel to a lot of their music, always very under-rated musically but top notch musicians. Also loved the way Brian Johnston took it on so quickly after Scott's death, although they were less r&b afterwards
|
|
By:
Never warmed to the 1980's to the present day version , 70's Bon Scott version was awesome.
|
|
By:
saw them on the Black Ice tour - the best live show ive seen.If you wanna see a crowd check out the live at River Plate dvd in Buenos Aires. makes glasto look like a kids tea party.
|
|
By:
Going down nicely!
JC, it was 1985 I first saw Metallica @ Donington (note the single "d"). ZZ Top headlined and Bon Jovi made their first major festival appearance. |
|
By:
Little known fact : Kirk Hammett's dad is Carlos Valderama.
If you're not going to take my word for it, please say, it'll take a few mintues to write that into his wiki page :) |
|
By:
Last time i saw them 1980 something...for those about to rock tour with live cannons firing and the ground shaking underneath, utterly brilliant. Must have a look on you tube later for a bit of nostalgia

You mean single 'N'!!! I don't understand how Lars Ulrich has an ounce of fat on him after having to hammer the drums like that ever night, unless he goes straight after every gig to the nearest pie shop. |
|
By:
Wont be rushing out to buy any of their stuff but am enjoying the performance...so much energy & passion in it, refreshing compared to all the human statues you see on these festival stages

The Unforgiven - classic track

enter sandman should bring the house down

By:
LOL wonder if glastonbury has had scenes like THAT on the back video screen before.
Bit different to the baby bottles on stage last night |

here it comes....the sandman
