    they don't have the crazy metalhead fanbase they had in the 80's dude, they sold out in 96 and since have appealed to high school/middle school kids, as long as they play anything pre re-load I'll be cool

    so you are not gonna go to bonaroo because metallica fans are gonna be there?
    you people are soft. soft as shit. i've been to a festival where metallica headlined 4 years ago. have you? i'm not a huge metallica fan, i went to see other bands, but i stuck around for their show and it was ok. they played lots of their earlier tunes. their fans were cool. sure there were some fucking tossers there, but don't kid yourself folks, not all pearl jam fans are angels either. people here have complained about us (pearl jam fans) at lolla and how feral some people acted.

    get a grip.

    or stay home.

    Metallica puts on one hell of a show!!! I'd be all over this festival if it was closer to the Pacific Northwest.

    Man if you bagged every festival because of one shitty band, there wouldn't be a lot of options for you.

    Just skip their set then! I've seen them three times and they put on a good show.

    I don't think their fans are anymore annoying than we are. DMB fans...now that's another story.

    I would love to see them,
    Metallica was a great band. Everything after Black sucks IMO.
    If they play the first few albums, I think they will rock.
    I worked out today to "And Justice for all". One kicks ass baby.

    If I was going I'd definitely want to see Metallica - they are an important band! If you're worried about the fans, just stay back a bit - the hardcore will be upfront no doubt. I can't imagine a band that would make me stay away from a festival, unless it was headlined by Insane Clown Posse or something.

    I considered it for a split moment, but not for long. I've wanted to see PJ play the farm for so long there's no way I'm letting Metallica or their fans being there ruin it for me. Besides, how many hard core Metallica fans are going to pay over $200 to see them at a hippie festival?

    That was because the Police played such a short set. I don't think any late night shows will start until the headliner is done.

    Their "snobbiness" at Bridge 06' was of epic annoyance. They act like DMB is the end all be all of music. Especially live shows.

    I found their performance pedestrian at best. It's just not my cup of tea I guess.

    I saw DMB live in '05...i wasn't a huge Dave fan, but we got a big group of people to go and had a great time. Dave puts on a good show, and his music is OK, but i hear you on the Dave fans...especially in college, every vapid dumbshit sorority whore who thought she knew anything about music went on and on about how great Dave Matthews is...beyond "Crash Into Me" most self proclaimed Dave fans couldn't name about 3 more DMB songs.

    I would love to go. I have seen Metallica twice and the crowd was night and day different each time. First time was Master of Puppets opening for Ozzy. Back in the day...
    Then I took my 12-13 year old son to see St. Anger and sat through a very loud fucking show. Wasnt too bad really.

    I just wanna see PJ again but cant make a special 4 day trip to Tennesee that week. I really woul dgo if I wasnt planning on my daughter being in a week long basketball camp and me coaching baseball. For all that can go, it looks like a great line-up.

    Looks like the biggest festival with the most diversity for your $$$. Chillin with Jack Johson, listening to Willie, throwing down with Metallica (or looking for for food) gettin the message from Kanye. Shit yeah I can enjoy all that and cap it all off with an amazing show from PEARL JAM!

    Hmm, wonder if we can do a different basketball camp... nah, not gonna happen.

    Enjoy

    Lars is a bigger douche ;)

    I actually have a bit of respect for Mr Hetfield as a musician. He is easily one of the greatest riff writers of the 80's. Easily. I also admire him for the way he fought back and turned his life around after he hit rock bottom. That shows character and fight. You only need to look at history to see how many other musicians were trashed up and at the bottom of the pit like Hetfield was, and they didn't live to tell the tale.

    There's no arguing that metallica, back in the glory days, were pretty damn good.

    I'm pretty much gonna have second that. At the same time, I kinda hear what the dude's saying.... By simply thinking about people whom I know, which ones love Metallica, versus which ones especially dislike Metallica, I would have to say that, from *MY* perspective alone, having Metallica there probably WILL in fact taint the crowd somewhat. i'm splitting hairs, and borderline talking shit here, however, wouldn't you say if Kid Rock was also a headliner, or Nickelback, or otherwse, that you would simply see more knuckleheads? I'm generalizing horribly here, I know. Luckily there are at least SOME intelligent Metallica fans, and at least everyone there won't be there because of Metallica, so yeah, I'm still going.
