Will Metallica be number one this weekend?

Ladbrokes have opened a book on who will reach Number One on the official UK album chart this weekend - dreary indie nerks Glasvegas or thrash legends Metallica?

Metallica's new album, Death Magnetic, will be released this Friday (September 12), giving it only two days to top the charts.

However K! is fairly confident James and Lars and co will do the business; 2003's St. Anger shifted a grand total of 46,000 copies in the UK week one. According to the midweek chart reports, Glasvegas' self-titled album has shifted a pitiful total of 29,000 copies. Slipknot's latest album, All Home Is Gone sold 22,000 on day one alone. Ha!

The odds at Labrokes are 1/2 (fav) Glasvegas and 6/4 Metallica.

is there any point in ranting bout metallica on here? i mean everyones entitled to their own opinion and iv got my own i personally worship metallica n so do a lot of people and i agree that metallica have sold out but o mean is it selling out making a video? by thin i mean 'One' do they sell out by making an album that defined metal for the 90's? and did they really sell out by cutting their hair? as i say people have theyre own opinions and theres better things to do than complaining about bands you dont like on the internet which is why i aint saying anything on this site again.

Greatest band on the planet

Heard so far six songs from the album, and to put it blunt, not only is this the best album this year its the best album of the last ten years. To anyone who doubts the bands greatness, well name another metal band with the sales they have had. Five star and fucking more

I like Glasvegas too, they're one of the best new bands around and deserve a number 1. Metallica, however, are legends, with this album by consesus a return to form, so I can't pick sides. Personally, I'm gonna wait until they're both around a fiver or there's some special edititon and pick them up then. :)

No, even though glasvegas are one of the worst bands EVER, do not see at all why everyone is raving about them

Metallica are the best, deal with it!

You young knobheads saying Metallica are shit will one day grow up, become a bit more mature (I hope), and realise what utter nonsense you talk at the moment. Also, anyone saying Slipknot are a better band really needs to re think their strategy. When Slipshite have recorded a "Master of Puppets", or a "Kill 'Em All" or a "Ride The Lightning" then do let me know. Once they have beaten ANY of those albums and others I didn't even mention, then, AND ONLY THEN, will they be a better band. But, I know they never will. Bands do not need nine members anyway, Motorhead still make fantastic albums and there's only three members there. I'd also noticed some stupid young idiot saying that "Megadeth sucked" too. Let me just re-educate you as you clearly need it. Megadeth have recorded some of the BEST thrash albums in the history of metal, yes aswell as the mighty Slayer and Metallica. If after you have listened to the master work that is "Holy Wars - The Punishment Due" by Megadeth from the "Rust In Peace" album (probably before your time anyway), you still think they are shit, then you are listening to the wrong music and clearly know sweet fa about real Metal/Thrash etc, so do us real metal fans a big favour and GROW UP, or failing that, FUCKOFF. Metal does not need idiots like you. Ok, I think i've said what I wanted to say now :-) Horns up to the people that know the score \m/ the rest can do one ;)

ok i like metallica an glasvegas
but tbh, indie's mainstream now so you no what will win
i suppose death magnetic is ok, but its nothing to what they were in there prime
and they never will be, so we just gotta deal with it

..and i'm sure that Kerrang will report Metallica's sales as 'pityful' when Glasvegas are number one on sunday?
I love old metallica and what they've done for the genre but Kerrang seem to be scared to give them anything less than 5K's in every live and record review just because they are Metallica.
Calling Glasvegas dreary as well and then featuring MCR and a pete wentz story in the magazine is abit hypocritical.

first at all, sorry for my English, im from argentina, not good writting.
the new metallica album is de link betwen Justice for all and the black album.
i think they´re back to the Metallica´s roots. Metallica is one of the metal Poker, Metallica-Slayer-Megadeth-Anthrax.
for the nubiest, i like korn, slipknot, deftones, Linkin Park. but Metallica is one of the greates Metal band in the world, don´t unrespect theme...

Gran disco de metalica que vuelkve a sus raices, esta justo entre justice for all y el disco negro, me alegra que dejen atras su etapa de Loa, reload, st anger....

saludos a todos

Juan

Dreary indie nerks?
I guess they'll probably get on the cover of Kerrang sooner rather than later, then.

A Return To Form

This is by far their best work since the Black Album, and marks not only a return to form (IMO St. Anger was a poor effort), but a return to their heavier roots, something they should never strayed from in the first place.

Hey Dudes,
it's good that a couple of you guys just say that Meallica is shit, and you cant even spell their name. LOL.
But also good for us the other thousands of people, we aren't forced to crash you when we fill those tiny stadiums like Wembley, to capacity.The time has come to Metallica rule the world again!!!!

Metallica are making a come back, and it's clear when i bought Death Magnetic the day it came out.

It's such a great record, people only diss Metallica because of one album, ONE ALBUM, St.Anger

But the Masters of Metal are back.

Obey Your Masters!

Nope. I diss them because of 5 albums. The Black abortion, Load, Reload, S&M and St. Anger.
I think you'll find a lot of other people do as well.

Metallica...THE BEST, THE WINNERS!!!!

Oh dear, poor Glasvegas? I hadn't even heard of them anyway until I read this on here the other day, but it looks as though the mighty Metallica won though, not that I had any doubts that they would :-D So, to all you idiots who've been slating the mighty _/METALLICA\_ take a long look at who's at number fookin ~ ONE ~, and if that's not proof enough for you as to who the BEST is, well, you all need fookin help, and a re-education into what great metal music is all about. I'm just gutted now that I didn't actually put that bet on, I almost did, could've been quids in now GGRRRRRRR. Oh well, nemind eh? Death Magnetic is awesome, Metallica are awesome, long live Metallica, long live MMEETTAAAAALLLLLL \m/
