Metallica's Lars Ulrich to Glastonbury critics: 'It's ridiculous, who are you?'
The drummer says they are respectful of the festival
"As this is a late addition to the schedule, this show will not be a “By Request” night... guess we’ll have to go back to writing the set list ourselves!" Facebook

Lars Ulrich has responded to critics of Metallica's headline slot at this years Glastonbury festival.
Speaking to Metal Hammer, Ulrich said simply that things had got more than a little out of hand, with petitions against their performance and other bands criticising their presence on the bill. He also said that they were thick skinned, but only to a point and that when it came to performing they were "fit for a fight".
"Glastonbury, it's like the holy grail in England and obviously we're respectful to that," he told the magazine. "Somebody sits there and talks about petitions or what some other guy says, there's a point where it sort of becomes ridiculous".
Watch the full interview with Lars Ulrich below
"We're fairly thick skinned and just kind of turn a blind eye to it and whatever you know. But obviously if Mick Jagger has something to say or Alex Turner or the very nice guys in Kasabian who I love - it's cool y'know. But at some point when there's some guy in some other band and I was like, huh, what? Who are you? At some point it just becomes a little ridiculous."
Speaking of the actual performance he said: "We're definitely on a roll and we're warmed up, loosened up, fit for fight and y'know, we're ready to go".
