metallica?

Wasn't AC complaining a few months ago that Metallica should take a break form the fest circuit? That man should seriously watch what he says.

I was thinking they may be playing the Black Album as it's the 20th Anniversay but it'll 21 years next year, could be doing the Big 4 but it'll be pointless with Soni doing it the year before but Lou Reed guest spot or Mater Of Puppets 25th anniversay entire album seems most likely.

In March this year Andy Copping said:

“Metallica have toured extensively and have been here for seven of the last eight summers. For me that is definitely overdoing it.”

“Metallica are a great band but if they went away for three or four years then came back then they'd be even bigger. When they keep coming back they become boring.”

Amazing turn of opinion if this is confirmed later, I look forward to the horrible attempt to backtrack his comments

Maybe it's to announce there will be new sponsors - Napster anybody?

Also, I'd hardly describe LuLu as a big twist. They have an album out which they are promoting so a bit twist that ain't.

I have no idea what it could do. As jump said, no album anniversaries.

[5co77ie]

would the "killer twist" be a reference to 'Killer Machine'? Isn't that track supposed to be from a forthcoming new album?

It's not on Lulu (mind you nor is 'White Light/White Heat')

Could be.

Shame it's not the anniversary of S and M.

I did say that but I edited the post a min before you posted and spotted it's the 25th anniversary of Mater Of Puppets.

Considering AC is saying it's a killer twist then people are going to say "meh" I can see it being Master Of Puppets.

If 2006 was the 20th, then how can 2012 be the 25th?

[biffoire]

There's nothing more boring to me than seeing Def Leppard.... Except maybe seeing them twice.

I must admit I thought they would be having a year off but I will really happy if they play and will sway me to return to Download next year,

[biffoire]

I didn't manage to see them at soni last year so would be stoked if they played.

They are defo doing some anniversary shows, Chris Jericho said Lars has invited him to the show Metallica are doing in the States, but I cant remember what the anniversary is, Jericho then said he wants to play Download next yr. Check wrestling website its a 15 min interview

AC not wanting them this year because they needed a break was coincidentally when couldn't get them, next year when he can get them I'd imagine means that they've been away from Download long enough for it be OK to get them back.

So is it just the one "surprise Metalica are headlining" announcement tonight, or are they announcing any others. I dont like it so much when it's already known. I like surprises!!

Maybe the twist is that there is no twist?

[biffoire]

Maybe it's them playing Metallica: Guitar Hero. Oh no, that would be at Sonisphere.

[gazza_20]

most probably as has been mentioned The Black Album with the huge production that has been talked about as the twist. Lou Reed will probably come on to do a couple of songs as an extra.
