Obviously with this news the internet has sparked
the same debate that took over threads across the web in 2014 as they
made their UK debut on the main stage at Sonisphere, should BABYMETAL
be sharing a stage with some of the biggest names in rock and metal, including
Metallica, Bring Me The Horizon and Alexisonfire? Some commenters on the Reading Festival facebook page didn't take the announcement well.
“What the hell is this rubbish? They look like
11-years-olds playing dress up. This is supposed to be an English
festival, we won't be able to understand anything they're saying!”
“It's a disappointment when this sort of dross
is put on the main stage...looks like last year was my first and last
Reading Festival.”
“Out of everyone they could have chosen to
preform they f**king choose BABYMETAL. Now a bunch of f**king 12-14
year old emo kids are going to be walking around all day!”
Personally, we're on the side of music should be
fun, and if you managed to witness what these girls and their killer
backing band are capable of last year at either their two sold out
London shows or Sonisphere, you know that these guys have it by the
bucket load.
Here's what Jeff Walker, frontman of the UK's own
metal pioneers Carcass had to say about BABYMETAL in an interview
with Nuclear Blast Records.
"It's actually fun, you know, like GHOST. Some people get very reactionary about a band like GHOST or
BABYMETAL. It puts a smile on people's faces. That's what music's
about, isn't it?! Enjoying it and not being so serious."
