What happened in 1985, 1987, 1991, 1995, and today June 1 2003? That's right...Metallica played at the legendary Donington Park in England. This time, they played on a little smaller stage than usual, and of course they did it classic 'Tallica style - don't tell anyone, just show up and play! Well, somehow of course the word got out and we did have a pretty good size crowd when they show started. As I was walking around the tent, I noticed people running towards the Scuzz tent trying to figure out who the hell this Metallica cover band was. It was great to hear people run up to their friends and scream - It is true, Metallica is fucking here! The guys played around an hour long set, setlist and pics to come shortly...MOT

Just finished the CDUK gig. It almost felt like a real gig again. The crowd at this show was very different compared to the Top Of The Pops show. Maybe it helped out that we had some loud Clubbers in there? The band were just stoked after they got off stage, not to mention sweaty as f*. You will have to wait a couple of days for the pics from this event. as I am in the middle of finishing up some stuff before St. Anger comes out (not metontour related). Tomorrow should be fun to, I will keep u guys posted...MOT

In about 6 hours Metallica will play in front of approx 400 people at the recording of the CDUK TV show. Looking at todays schedule, it is as always TIGHT. From one interview to another, a few meet and greets plus trying to get some rehearsal time in there too. The audience consists of MetClub members and other contest winners. At 1pm there are already a line outside. I believe they will start to let in people around 5:30 pm. More to come....MOT

Sitting in the lobby of our hotel in London, trying to get some kewl pics up for you. We arrived around noon in London and met up with James & Kirk at Top Of The Pops studio for some rehearsals for tonight's recording. As far as I can "hear", it will be good fun. Right after rehearsals I left with James & Lars for a radio interview. Straight back to the hotel after that to meet up with Kerrang magazine. Kerrang brought some contest winners that got to interview the band. After the "interview" one of the winners gave Lars his cellphone and wondered if he could talk to his friend, that has been outside the hotel for hours just to get a glimpse of the guys. Not only did Lars talk to his buddy, he also invited him up to the room to hang out for a little bit. The guy, Clive, said "My friends are never going to believe me". "Well then we just have to put your face up on the website", replied Lars. That's right CLIVE, your buddies better believe you now! Check out the latest pic for proof :)

Leaving for London in a few minutes for some more fun. Forget to tell you all that yesterday Lars & Rob spent a few hours in the evening travelling around Copenhagen visiting Lars' old stomping grounds. Lars took him to the house where he was born, his tennis court and the first school he attended. Very interesting and like Rob said "very different to where I grew up".

Copenhagen, Denmark, the land of red polse and Lars Fucking Ulrich! Lars and Rob are in Copenhagen meeting up with various press. Lars just got back to the hotel after a live radio interview earlier this afternoon. He promised the DJ that we would have a picture of the DJ up on the website within the next few hours...So needless to say, working on some pix...MOT
