The boys are at the venue. Tonight we will have approx 200 contest winners coming for a special "rehearsal gig". I keep u posted..MOT

We have another production/rehearsal day in the bag. Things are coming along great, it does take a lot of planning to get a huge monster like this on the road. I can tell that the band & crew are still working on get rid of their jetlag from the European tour. I can also tell that they are pumped to get rehearsals done, and get the first gig going! Tomorrow will be a little different as we will have around 200 radio contest winners (and of course some Clubberz too) so it will be a little more like a small gig, at a HUGE venue :) I will keep you posted...MOT

Check out the pics from yesterday's rehearsal. Looks like the machine is in full speed again. Back in the USA baby! We had a very unique setup yesterday. Two stadium stages built at the same time, in the same venue! You can catch a glimpse of it in some of the pics. The reason for it? Well, this tour carries a very big production and therefore two identical stages are needed to be created and brought on the tour. Same goes with crew, we have 2 identical crews for each stage. More about this later...The crew is already in full pre-production mood today. They start working around 6-7 in the morning until 2-3 in the morning. Glamourous Rock'n'Roll gig, right!Also, thanks for helping out with the questions for the boys & crew. I read some good ones in there.

A day off is a good thing for YOU guys :) That means I can edit video! Another one is up, a short one from the last euro-gig in Belgium, Creeeeeeping Deeeeeaath! On the schedule we have a few pre-production days here in Detroit, for Summer Sanitarium. First pics to come later tonight...MOT

We made it! Well, at least I made it (like anyone cares about that, right...). I was on the plane with James, flying in from London, so I know he is here too. I immediately recognized some crew guys that have been working with the band in the past. There are a lot of people on the crew for this tour, I am soo stoked, this tour will CRUSH! You don't want to miss this one!In the next few days, when we start getting in to the groove, I plan to sit down with one or a few of the band guys, plus a few crew people. I am going to ask them about their feelings on the just finished Euro-Tour. As always, I need YOUR help to make sure I ask the questions YOU want to get answered. Go to the bulletin board and check out the official thread called "Q&A, Euro-tour finished"

The show must go on...we are on our way to the USA. Next gig July 4th in Detroit Rock City. Of course you will have MetOnTour reporting from the rehearsals and all kinds of goodies before that.Setlist is posted, live pics to come...MOT

Sad But True just finished, next one up is St. Anger (according to the setlist I have). We have another hour or so of the last Euro-festival-show here in Werchter, Belgium. James told me he went to the Roskilde festival yesterday to check out a few bands. Some of the bands he saw were Turbonegro & Iron Maiden. He was impressed by both performances and had a good time. We had the regular Clubber Meet & Greet and some contest winners saying hi to the guys before the show. Pics from this will come later tonight. Gotta go, the show is in full roar!

Pix from Werchter Festival is up. The band just arrived at the venue, some of them are checking out QOTSA

A new video is up. Short clip of Nothing Else Matters from Madrid, Spain.

Time flies by when you are having fun, right? I can't believe today is the last show on the Euro-Festival-2003-Tour! We are in Werchter, Belgium for the Rock Werchter Festival. Looking at the other bands playing, does not sound too "heavy", except for Stone Sour & QOTSA. Doors opened at 10am and I believe Metallica goes on at 11pm, a long day for all the festival goers here. First pic on the way, plus a few more live shots from the Roskilde Festival.
