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

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

These look like a cross between Chas & Dave and Dexy's Midnight Runners - but worse 
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.

The glastonbury web site says they should be on by now but running late isn't unusual for a festival i suppose.
BBC2 intro now

for the uninitiated
LOL, had a few bottles of piss land on my napper at Donny!

Oh THAT is cool, they've got a lot of fans BEHIND them. Either that or Marshall stacks look very human like these days.
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?

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!!)
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.

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
Never warmed to the 1980's to the present day version , 70's Bon Scott version was awesome.
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.
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.

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 :)

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

So many people spell DoNNington!

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.

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
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

Lars should speak to Rooney about his experience of "thatch" work.
.. Just as long as their next album doesn't turn out called "grannyshag deathstorm"

Although Whiskey was an old folk song, so it's a cover of a cover (of a cover of a cover ... )
Lars Ulrich was famously a tennis brat when he was young and almost became a tennis pro, I wonder if he'll pop over to Wimbledon?
At school, they were a band listened to by the weirdos who got bullied more often than not.
Robert Plant was sheer class. Now Led Zeppelin, there was a rock group that had no peers.
Just finished watching last nights performance and top marks from me..loads of passion and energy , however, Lily Allen has better legs.
Not a big fan of rock music, a bit of northern is more my scene, but, I saw Metallica about 5 years ago in Manchester and they were fantastic. Great sound, lighting and presence. Only Everything But The Girl, Elvis Costello And The Rude Boy 5, and the Bunnymens St George's Hall gig were better.
Enjoyed last nights show, and Enter Sandman is a classic.

I hate metal with a passion. Watched Metallica. Still hate it. They can play though
Metallica were OK but Bad News would have been better. Vim Fuego a masterful artist.
metallica should not have been booked to play glasto should be at reading or iow
