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.

Almost everyone from Lars' hometown was backstage tonight. Lots of family and friends, including Flemming Rasmussen (who produced Ride, Master and Justice). Pics and setlist are up.

Hey everyone, thanks for the video feedback. A note to everyone that, as always, checks/listens to all the "small" details. During "Bellz", Rob forgot to use his pedal, normally way more NOISE! It was a "breakfast gig" as Lars called it :) Pix are up from yesterday's show in Madrid. Enjoying a day off in Copenhagen, on my way to Stroget!

Madrid, Spain. Just checked the line up and I guess the first band out is In Flames from Sweden..cool :)Doors open up a little later than usual, 5:00pm, this because we don't have as many opening acts. I am here in central Madrid at a internet cafe' called CyberFutura, if everything works well I will have 2 new vids for ya within the next few hours. I believe when we start the Summer Sanitarium tour we should have more frequent video's coming your way. The venues in the US are better equipped. Then in Japan - wroooom speed!Catch up in a bit..MOT

Quick check in with ya. According to the setlist, we have 3 more songs to go here in Barcelona, Spain. Metallica opened with Battery and immediately tore into Puppets. And you wonder why that is special? Here is a funny story for you... Earlier today during the Meet & Greet with the Clubberz this guy comes up to Lars and says "You should open up with Battery", Lars then goes "And then what?", the guy then says "Puppets." "We will do it for YOU my friend"... and all was said and done, a few hours later. You know who you are, lucky clubber!!! :-) So next time you meet Lars & the guys tell them to open up with Dyers Eve, right?? I just realized how fucking fun it is to be on tour again, even though I get yelled a few times per day by Lars "Where the fuck is the new video on MetOnTour?," then trying to explain to him that there is no way to get them uploaded using dialup at the venue. Half way through my reply to him, he loses interest and just does not care what my "excuse" is... trust me Lars, I want to get a video up as much as you do, if not even more. It is not fun staying up until 5:30 in the morning to finish up the video, to then have to wait a fucking week to upload it... Anyway, like I said being back on tour is FUCKING GREAT... I guess I am getting tired, too much Swedish babbling going on... and the gig is not even finished... Laterz.... MOT
