Sitting at the Hallendtadion in Zurich working on the video from the Hannover show. I can tell you this much, you do NOT (or maybe you actually do?) want to miss this video. It is soo good that we actually have people throwing up in this one! Hopefully you will get to see it by tomorrow. Doors will open around 6, and we will as usual have a FanClub meet & greet, and a few interviews lined up too. Laters...MOT

Good morning Zurich, why not serve another VIDEO for breakfast? 2nd night in Oslo is now up, get ready for the opening song at that show - Fight Fire with Fire. A special HELL YEAH to Lars for helping out with picking the winning reviews from the Arnhem show, good man. I will set up another "official" topic after the show here in Zurich for you guys to post your reviews. I am sorry, but this time around, it might only be me that will pick a review. Heading over the venue in a few hours, will keep you updated through out the day on what is going on. CYA...MOT

To All Our Dutch Friends,Lars here. Sunday night. Niclas asked me a couple of hours ago if I would pick the winner for the little review competition that we came up with yesterday on the MetOnTour site. Fuck yeah - of course I would! I just sat and read through all of your reviews and you guys are some “GOOD-SPEAKING ENGLISH LITERARY WRITING”(??) motherfuckers. Thanks so much for taking the time and sharing your thoughts. I feel a lot of Dutch love in my little Danish body right now. Here are my thoughts: It’s completely fucking impossible to just pick one, since there are so many great ones… so since it’s our website and we make the rules (often just as we go along), I’m gonna pick and print five!!So thanks to (in no particular order) dijoske, Metallica1987666, Ramp-Attempt_MiMi, FenerManiac & rjsoeps for their cool thoughts, which will follow at the end of this drivel.A couple of shout-outs and fuck yeahs to deliberator, karelrulez, pepe1001 & chemo86 for their thoughts. To st anger rulez – I hope your throat is getting better and to JamesLarsKirkRob & Dante16, thanks for the flag, it’s in my roadcase so I can take it home after the tour. And finally, to Clock Strikes Twelve, sorry about your incident, you’ll hear from us about making it all good.Once again, thanks. You’re some crazy motherfuckers and I agree with most of you, last night was probably the best ‘tallica show in Holland. So here’s to June 21, 2004 in Amsterdam where we’ll throw it down and tear it up even harder…C-ya in a bit, Lars

The crew is in Zurich, Switzerland, while the band is somewhere else in Europe...a day off to prepare for tomorrow's madness. When I woke up this morning, the first thing I remembered from yesterday's gig was how fucking LOUD that crowd was, GOOD ONE! Thanks for all the reviews posted on the message board from yesterday's show in Arnhem. I just closed the topic, and will pick a review to be featured on MetOnTour within the next few hours. I also have a video edited from the 2nd Oslo show.. I KNOW everyone is asking for Dirty Window from that show, but hey, we gotta leave some goodies in for the DVD too, right? (Just fucking kidding, don't even start that rumor!) But hey, my pick was not too shabby, you will find out tomorrow....MOT

Ok, we always try to have fun on tour, right? So, here is something new for today, and maybe for a few more shows if this works out well. Tonight, after the show, I will set up an "official" (you gotta love that word) topic on the message board where YOU will get the chance to write the review for tonight's show. I will pick one of the reviews, and post it here at 'MetOnTour'. And, if you win, you will receive the honour of having your review posted here...WOOHOO! First show for review... tonights show in Arnhem, Holland. Sounds like fun? boring? stupid? Lemme know!Pics are up from outside as well as inside the 'Gelre Dome' in Holland. Doors open around 5:30 and we will have a 'meet and greet' with some fanclub members around 6pm. Stay TUNED!

Today we are in Arnhem, Holland and tonights show will be the biggest on this tour. The Gelredome is huge and we will have around 35 000 here today. On another note, I forgot to tell you guys that yesterday in Hannover we had some of the members from the legendary band Scorpions come out. They hung out with Metallica after the show.
