Alright, I have to take something back. I know I promised you two new videos today, well, I am sorry to say that it turned out to be THREE NEW VIDEOS instead. I hope no one minds...We have Dec 14th, Dec 16th and the Dec 17th (Antwerp, BELGIUM). Highlights? Everyone has been asking about Kirk's "Dirty Window" solo. You shall ask, and it will come. How about Damage Inc. with the intro? Stop reading and check out the new vids.Vegas Update: Still shitty weather here...

Viva Las Vegas Baby! You know what, it is fucking snowing too, how about that? I arrived last night and there were huge billboards for both the New Years Eve show, plus the upcoming show on March 13th here in Vegas. I can feel it coming....Metallica will take over this town tomorrow night...I can FEEL IT! In other fun news, within the next few hours, I should have another two videos up. The videos are from the Dec 14th (Mannheim, GERMANY) and the Dec 16th (Cologne, GERMANY). Speak in a bit...GET READY!

Hope everyone's holiday is a happy one. Why not have MetOnTour make it even better? TWO NEW VIDEOS! First one from the Dec 11th show in Bologna, ITALY, and the other one from the show in Erfurt, GERMANY on Dec 13th. From Bologna we will enjoy the regular behind the scenes stuff, plus "Seek and Destroy" from that show. Then we went to Erfurt and I think the shit I got on tape there, was pretty damn cool. We got everything from Meeting & Greeting, fucking around with the setlist, One great live song, inviting a young kid to play the drums, to the bands review of the show. Good shit, right??? Speak soon....MOT

Metallica & MetOnTour would like to wish you a Happy Holiday. After the last Europen show on Dec 20th, in London, I sat down with the boys to see if they had a few last words...And they sure did. I think they might have said too much, what do you think? Did they really give away all those tour dates? Hurry up, before we have to take this video down! Check out the NEW video from London, Dec 21 - Happy Holidays.

Thank you Norway, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, France, Italy, Belgium and fucking England! Metallica had a blast over in Europe. They had soo much fun that they will be back next summer to do it all again. Metallica wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and please enjoy your holiday. Speaking of Holidays, yours truly, will of course make sure you get some nice video presents during that time. Don't forget to check in daily, you will never know what you might hear and see :) Setlist & photos are up.

Yes, I got another minute to sit down and breathe, that means that the guys are on stage. We have the MONSTER ROB on bass, making some killer noise before going straight in to Bellz. The band opened with Battery, The Four Horsemen, Ride The Lightning, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), and now we have Bellz. I personally feel that everyone is ready for a short break, but at the same time, everyone was mega-pumped for tonights show. How amazing is it to be able to fill Earls Court two nights in a row. Thank you London, Metallica will be back!

Hi again, London. Here we are, another day at the legendary Earls Court Arena. Last time Metallica played two nights in a row, in the same city, was in Oslo, Norway, and we all know what Metallica likes to to do with the setlist. Fuck it all up! Tonight is also the last show on the Euro-Tour 2003, and that will definitely not make things worse. I told you in my post yesterday that we might have some celebration going on after the show. LAst night we had the official "Metallica end of a leg tourparty". The band rented a conference room at a London Hotel. We had Metallica & Godsmack in the house, plus all the touring crew and a few friends. Some people left at 2am, and others did not. Everyone had a good time and the vibe on this tour is kick ass.

Nice one, out of two! A packed Earls Court, can't get much better than that, right? I was up on stage behind Lars during the end of the show, and guess who I ran into, Brian Tatler from Diamond Head. Next thing I knew, the band started playing Am I Evil? (classic Diamond Head song). Lars was pointing at Brian, to get him to join them on stage, but I think Brian was not really prepared :) Very cool though to see Brian headbang during Am I Evil? (and of course to some other ones too). Tonight we might also have some celebrations going on, don't worry, I will tell you all about it tomorrow. Setlist is up, pics on the way....MOT

What is ALWAYS happening on the last two shows at the end of a tour? EVERYTHING you can possibly imagine! The band walked on stage about 20 minutes ago, and this would be the first time for me to sit down and breath for a few minutes. The guys were jamming for almost 30 minutes before entering the stage. They were PUMPED and ready to kick some serious English ass. Right now we are five songs in the the show. Currently we have the mighty, heavy, dark, "The Thing That Should Not Be".

While I was reading through the reviews from Antwerp I saw a post from the fan that gave Rob his "funny hat", that Rob decided to wear during Bells. I thought I share that with you as well:####Posted by: JimmyHBS BelgiumI am the proud donor of the "ZOTTEKOP" which is the 'funny' hat Roberto wore during Bells. Lars courteously slipped it on Kirk during his final Solo of Bells. The hat is of the National Belgian Soccer Team. I gave it during the Meet&Greet before the show and told him that if he'd wair it on stage the audience would be listening a lot closer. Beats THX. And yezzz, he did, all the Palace stood up and never sat down again till the end of the gig. I'm not a big soccer fan myself, i stick to Metallica and Harley's, but it was a great way to get the whole croud going. IT REALLY MADE MY DAY !! After going to Arnhem, Bercy and Cologne, I was afraid we couldn't outdo those gigs as Belgian fans. But, AU CONTRAIRE, the Belgian Fans stood United as ONE. GREAT SETLIST !!! I couldn't be more Proud !!! METALLICA FOREVER !!!
