Now that was fucking fun, right? Show ended 1 minute ago and check this "typical" 'Tallica thing out. During the encore Lars goes out to say bye to the crowd and this kid has a sign that says "Lars, let me play your drums". You can only guess the rest, right? Lars pulled the kid up on stage, and then we had a 3 minute drum solo from this amazing little guy (no, not Lars this time around). Everyone, including the crowd of course, was very impressed. James asked afterwards "Are you in a band? Well, you should be". Setlist is posted, and show pics on the way....MOT

We are about 3/4 in to the set and so far they have played 3 songs from St. Anger. Frantic, Dirty Window and The Unnamed Feeling. We might have a 4th too :) Laters....MOT

"It's a long way to the top If you wanna rock 'n' roll" is blasting out through the speakers at the Messehalle. I know what this means - Metallica is about to fucking rock 'n' roll! I just got back from their tuning room, and took a few pics for you. It is on the way!

Latest Metalli-Update from Erfurt, Germany. Godsmack just walked off stage, they were stoked and said the crowd was killer. Our guys are right now in the "tuning room" discussing tonights setlist. Showtime in about 10 minutes.More pics are up...MOT

Congratulations screen name: MetallidarkYou are the winner of the "review contest" from the show in Bologna, ITALY. Here we go:Review By: MetallidarkGodsmack was good, Sully has great voice and the "drumming duet" really kicked ass! But the real event started with Ecstacy of Gold, we all went quite insane and we shout out MetallicA name to have you out! Blackened was great,and the next songs too...I saw people crying during Fade to black! The whole of us was singing and pogoing! And a good surprise arrived with Dirty window, very heavy and good live(and also on cd,it's clear!). Great interpretation of Jaimz during the "Get the fuck..." part on The Unnamed feeling, and great triplet with Harvester of sorrow, Master(I never saw or listened to it so fucking great!), and Battery. Lots of laughings when Kirk and Lars changes instruments,and then,after an incredible Nothing else matters, you 'tallica played Creeping Death in a double speed! The other fantastic moment was One, you played it great way! And Enter Sandman too,and on it I noticed that Jaimz sang the "Sleep with one eye opened" in original tone for the first time(or first in my mind), for me he is on his best moment with his voice. Also the final two old songs were great, and the thing that makes me really happy is that MetallicA seems(I hope is not fake)to enjoy like us during shows(the Italian ones at last). I hope what Lars said is true, and then "See you again outdoors on July"! Stay heavy! Great 'tallica! P.S.:next time open with Fight fire with fire,pleaseeeeee!

Talk about being out of touch. Damn, I have not been able to get online for a day, how will we all survive? Finally, back online here in Erfurt, GERMANY, sitting backstage at the Messehalle. To sum up yesterday - A travel day! In other news, I got the video from the Arnhem show ready to roll, just need to get some fast connection to upload. The video is approx 13 minutes long, a little fun here and there. I keep you guys updated...MOT

Take that one MOTHERFUCKERS! Personally, I think Bologna won the LOUDEST CROWD on the tour soo far. Tons of fun for everyone. Setlist is up, and photos are up. The crew is loading out right now, and after that, a nice 12 hour bus drive to Erfurt, Germany. CYA in a bit...MOT

For the third time ever, Metallica performed Dirty Window, here in Bologna ITALY. The crowd is still on top of their game, FUCKING LOUD. We have another 4 songs to go, right now we hear DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, as the band is pounding through Creeping Death. Gotta run, speak in a few...MOT

(Warning wrong spelling)..Ole' ole' ole', Meetalllica, the crowd is chanting right now here in Bologna. I am in the production office backstage, and it is almost hard to hear, as the crowd (and the band) is fucking LOUD. The boys opened with Blackened, straight in to FUEL, Seek, Fade and right now we have Frantic. Pics are up, and more to come...MOT

Godsmack just walked off stage. Our band guys are entering the tuning room to get warmed up. Tonight's show is completely sold out, and the fans are LOUD and CRAZY. Tonight will be for sure lots and lots of fun. Setlist? We'll see...
