We had one other band joining us tonight, Disturbed. They just walked off stage after about an hour long set. The Metallica crew is getting ready for our boys to hit the stage. According to the schedule, Metallica will hit the stage at 8:35. Don't tell anyone, but I think they will open with Battery :)The band of course took time out of their day to say hi to some of the Clubberz that won a backstage pass. Check out the pix...MOT:)

Another day, another show...and I have now taken over from Niclas to offer true light and perspective on the events taking place (until I'm bumped again for tastier metal scribes!)...it's tour time again, the slumbering beast is awakening with vengeance and tonight's show is at a Berlin ampitheater which aparently sold-out within two hours of tickets going on sale. So expect some pretty raucous stuff tonight, and keep yer eyes peeled 'cause we're gonna tell you about it.

We are 7 songs in to the Nurnberg - Rock Im Park show. So far we have Hit The Lights, The Four Horsemen, Leper Messiah, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Harvester Of Sorrow, Frantic and Sad But True. The band just started on St. Anger. I am working on getting some pics up for you. I also put together a 5 minute video from Milan the other day. A "typical" promo-day for Lars & Rob. Should be up within the next hour or so...MOT

ARE YOU READY? METALLICA IS FUCKING READY! Get ready for the first official EURO-FESTIVAL-TOUR-2003. We are in Nurnberg, Germany at the Frankenstadion. We are joined by a few other bands at this festival. Disturbed, Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones and Marilyn Manson. Deftones is about to go onstage. Yesterday night Metallica spent about 2 hours here at the stadium doing rehearsals. Check out the pix...MOT

200 crazy/excited Metall-italy fans welcomed Lars & Rob at the Feltrinelli record store in Milan, Italy. They spent 2 hours+ signing autographs and talking to their new friends :) They even got a cake! Pics and more goodies to come....MOT

James & Kirk left Madrid late last night to fly to Warsaw, Poland. Myself, I left around 5am this morning to join Lars & Rob in Milan, Italy. Sitting in my room at the hotel in Milan and FINALLY, a hotel that has broadband connection! I am looking at today's schedule and I think we have some crazy fun coming up. A few hours ago Lars & Rob went to a press conference for the Heineken Jammin' Festival around noon, due to miscommunication I could not attend. No worries, the rest of the day (AND night) will be covered....MOT

An interesting side note during some of these interviews here in Spain is the use of a translator. First the reporter asks a question in Spanish, and then the translator repeats the question in English. After that the band tells the answer to the translator, they then repeats to the reporter. After the first interview James said, with a smile, "You have to keep your answers short to make sure the translator remembers what the hell you were talking about". The day goes on....pix are up

James and Kirk are in Madrid, Spain, while Lars and Rob can be found in Paris, France. I am together with the James & Kirk team and we are just about to start the day here. Looks like a pretty full press schedule. Yesterday was the first day off on this euro-promo-tour. James & Kirk spent the day sightseeing and late last night they went to a Flamenco show. They were very impressed by the dance and when they left the place, they tried to copy the moves (without any success, but priceless to see).
