We have arrived, after a 24 hour + bus ride from San Antonio, we are finally in Salt Lake City. When I walked off the bus in to the hotel for a quick shower, I realized two things. Number 1, we have been here not too long ago, number 2, it is way colder here than in Texas, your shorts wont work here buddy!

Here I am backstage at the SBC Center in San Antonio, trying to write a review of tonights show, and then I realize, I am speechless! Could it be because the show was amazing? Could it be because we have a 1500 mile bus ride coming up? Could it be because this is show number 175 to review on the Madly In Anger With The Tour? Could it be because we have 4 shows to go? Could it be because I am from Sweden? Could it be because I am moving to Costa Rica? Could it be because my mind just went blank??? You know what, lets ask the other 15 000+ motherfuckers that were here tonight! Head over to the messageboard right now and read or write your review on tonight's RoadKill. <p>Setlist is up and according to "metalhead257" on the board, he feels that tonight's list was "HOLY SETLIST SHAKE UP!!! BUT STILL NO MORE RARES". Read and judge for yourself...Photos are up too...MOT

Had enough videos in one day? Too bad for you, here are two more. The last two shows in Canada on the last leg was in Hamilton and London, Ontario. <p>The fans were SCREEAMING outside preparing for the show in Hamilton. Inside, we had a lucky fan win a contest to interview Rob. Just before show the band had some Whiskey in the tuning room, of course the handy little silly website was there to capture it all! <p>Then the next day the band played London, ON for the first time. If you asked the fans outside (of course we did) they said this was Metallica's 23rd anniversary show, we had to confirm this with Lars, and what did he have to say? We followed the tricky task of writing a setlist, and then handing it over, in a very special way. For the first time on MetOnTour, Kirk's Guitar Doodle!

Good morning, we got another two videos available on a computer screen near you. These two are from the two shows in Boston, unfortunately due to reasons you can read on LiveMetallica, there will be no live footage from those shows BUT that means you will get more behind the scenes exclusives. <p>The first night there was a lot of action, we had Kirk give guitar lessons to a contest winner, a quick interview with the lovely lady Foster that prepares all the food for the band. Lars was buy answering questions (good ones too, according to him) from a bunch of contest winners. <p>Second night the fanclubbers in the Meet & Greet had some questions for the boys, we had Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith drop by, and a little bit of Turn The Page in the tuning room

Right after Sandman, Kirk asked his guitar tech Justin, "When are they going to do me?" Justin's reply, "What do you mean do you? Your birthday is not until tomorrow." Kirk's reply, "That doesn't apply around here." Your right Kirk, that does not apply around here. Right after Seek And Destroy, the band, everyone in the crew, Kirk's wife, everybody else's wife, and their grandma was up on stage pie-ing Kirk. Our beloved Zach took charge and was the first one to pie him. After the show, Kirk rushed into the dressing room to take a shower, but before entering he said with a smile, "Payback is a bitch. Everyone that I pied throughout the year just got me back."<p>Setlist, yes there was one! And it is up for your viewing pleasure! Photos will also be up soon for your viewing pleasure as well. <p>We have the next 2 days off, and that means it's time to go and hide in the video editing dungeon. Speak soon Mutha Fuckers! MOT

Is Dallas not happy that Metallica is in town? It was raining like HELL when we arrived this morning at the American Airlines Arena. Always funny to hear the name of these venues, one week it is an airline the next week it is the name of a soda, when will we have the MetOnTour venue. My bet is NEVER :)Tonight will be the 14th time Metallica visits Dallas. February 27th, 1985 was the first time, and August 3rd of 2003 was the last time. Yesterday we got Die, Die My Darling, what will we get tonight?

The show is finished here in Houston, TX and we had some great things going on today. As previously mentioned tonight was Metallica's sound king Big Mick's 20th year anniversary show. When the band walked off stage, James ran over to Big Mick to give him a hug. We had a few "surprises" here tonight, the biggest one Die, Die My Darling, and other honorary mentions goes out to Dirty Window, Holier Than Thou and King Nothing. Last time we heard Die, Die My Darling was on May 2, 2004 in Madison, WI.Time to go, another Texas show coming up, tomorrow Dallas! Also been working on a few new videos, might hit your screen tomorrow. Take care, and stay safe!

Sad But True was the third song on the setlist here at the Toyota Center in Houston, not too frequent at that place in set. Wherever I May Roam, intro tape, was heard right after that. Another welcome back to Dirty Window, and then a quick guitar doodle. A few more photos are up...speak soon.
