…oh no, hang on, it’s not. A mere nine months after 17 Seconds bigged them up and interviewed them, Glasvegas are going head to head with Metallica in the album charts.

Is it about sales? Well, no, but it’s a sign of how far a band can come…watch this video from the UK’s ITN news.

Glasvegas v Metallica in the battle of the bands

Amusing, no? Although the idea that for running a race you get chocolate and fizzy drinks (note to non-scots: in scotland ‘juice’ is the name given to fizzy drinks, not necessarily something that comes from fruit), perhaps speaks volumes about Scotland’s health issues…

Anyway, 17 Seconds is firmly routing for Glasvegas in this battle.
