Lineup 2015

[lightning1000]

I've seen Metallica once and they didn't even play Battery so what's up with that

No, they'd rather have you all listen to sad but true.

[DaveElNino]

This one time I saw Metallica and they didn't play Enter Sandman

pre-1991 then?

[cagetheginger]

If anyone is selling or knows anyone selling any early bird tickets could they let me know as I thought I bought 3 but actually only got 2. So I'm pretty screwed atm. As I'm not paying the getmein prices.

Surprisingly 2008 - no Sandman, Nothing Else Matters or Sad but True

 

(They did a special Death Magnetic release show with tickets for £5 at The O2 - only Metallica could do a small release show at an arena - and purposefully avoided the biggest mainstream tracks)

[rivalschools.price]

I assume you don't own a copy of lulu?

I AM THE TABLE!!!

Edit-in st angers defence, the title track is great (apart from Lars' tinny drums) and frantic is far from the worst they've put out.

Dirty window is absolutely awful though, possibly the worst tallica song ever.

Of course I don't own Lulu.

I may be a mad Metallica fan but I am not a fool. ha ha.

Does anybody know how many people actually bought that album?

Sales for that album must be some kind of record low for a multi-million selling band

Yeah, if I remember rightly that was about a week or so after their Reading Festival appearance.

I enjoyed that. They did a fair whack of big tracks though, and it was a £5 album show, seems ridiculous to complain about lack of a couple of particular hits.

Really don't get it. The band are really technically proficient, but the k pop thing is just annoying

[Bisque]

Not long to get this thread to a thousand pages before the festival kicks off.

They are just a bit of fun, as god knows the rest of the mainstage lacks much humour. I think they will be a giggle.

I'll go and see them this time. I've missed them twice. Everyone that has seen that that I spoke to said they were brilliant. I don't think anyone was taking them seriously though. They are what they are, entertaining. I'm in, I won't be buying any records though

I don't think he was complaining. Merely just saying that's what happened.

They're Japanese.

[lightning1000]

Aah ok, thought they were Korean. Although I'm ignorant to the differences between k pop and j pop.

[the wonderwhy]

One is from Korea and the other is from Japan

 

Not sure which is which though

I'm sure you know I meant musically right?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Kpop sounds a hell of a lot more Westernised than the relatively experimental Jpop, aesthetically it's much more prioritised toward sexuality and beautiful women whereas Jpop goes for cuteness etc

[dentalplan]

I was legit just writing that.

I'm shocked it hasn't already. You are all a bunch of slackers!

I think (IMO) the least inspiring set of headliners in many a moon has something to do with that.
