Got another rehearsal coming up tonight. Also, I put up a few new shots from yesterday. Tomorrow should be a lot of fun, and a very interesting day. Sometime later in the afternoon we will be joined by a few hundred of Metallica's new friends. We will have contest winners from the FanClub and radio stations across the US coming by to say hi. Showtime baby....

Just got out of a "production" meeting with the band, their production manager, and lighting director. Comments? Refer to previous post...MOT

If anyone wonders about a new video, here is the latest update on that. I have been working on the video from the Jan 30th show in Adelaide. The reason it has been taking a little longer than usual, is because the video is longer that usual. You can expect around 25 minutes long video from that day. The theme of the video is "A day in the life of James". Should be on your favorite TV station within the next two days....MOT

My last post was short and sweet, "Holy fucking shit, this is fucking AWESOME...". It also got a lot of people wondering if I had lost my mind? I lost my mind a long time ago, so let's be clear about that! What I was talking about was that I was fortunate enough to see the new stage, and I must say once again, "Holy fucking shit, this is fucking AWESOME........"

Holy fucking shit, this is fucking AWESOME.....

The MetOnTour setlist showdown is officially over, special thanks to everyone that participated. We will now put the winning list together and deliver it to the boys later tonight. At least now they know for sure what YOU want to hear, let's see what they decide to play....The songs that got the most vote was....drum roll...SLITHER! Oh, wait, sorry, let's try again....drum roll...DYERS EVEHope to get a few new fresh pics up tonight too. cya...MOT

How about this to start off your week? A MetOnTour Video! This time we have a clip of the boys performing The Four Horsemen, plus a special Happy Birthday to Zach from the Jan 28th Melbourne show!I will be taking this week off for vacation, so bad news is no updates this week. Good news is when I get back, I'll have more video from AUS, and maybe something from rehearsals for the upcoming US tour?!?!? See you next week! Be good.... MOT

You think that YOU know best, right? YOU know way better than the guys which songs they should play, right? Now, here is your chance to let YOUR voice be heard and tell those fuckers what they should play! Get ready for 'The MetOnTour Setlist Showdown'! <P>When I heard Lars come up with the name (some of you might have seen the vid), I thought this would be awesome to try. Starting right-fucking-now YOU can vote for which songs you would like Metallica to put in their setlist on the upcoming tour. Head over to the <a href="http://www.metallicabb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=99585" target="_blank">MetOnTour Bulletin Board to cast your vote.</a> <P>After the setlist showdown is done (topic will be closed at 12PM PST (noon) on Feb 23rd) and the results will be hand delivered to the band. <P><B>PLEASE NOTE: This is a MetOnTour poll to find out what songs YOU would like Metallica to play in concert. The band may or may not use these suggestions... but hey, at least they will see what you want to hear!</B>

A couple of days ago on the FanClub message board, "icemetalchick" wrote: ""I was about to go stir crazy w/ not getting my 'tallica fix (metontour video) today". Well, even though I am not Fixxxer, I will give "icemetalchick" her daily fix, a brand NEW VIDEO!Lets go back to Jan 26th, Big Day Out in Melbourne, AUSTRALIA. A beautiful day, with lots of things going on backstage before the show. We had a special guest (radio contest winner) hanging out with the boys, and also was lucky enough to jam with them. Should I really have recorded the short jam of "Memory Remains"? You decide!This is what "metfan34" wrote in the topic - You direct the next MetOnTour video: - "hey i love it when bands are shown going from backstage to the stage. you know the long walk down the hallway making their way to the stage, then the lights go out and the crowds goes nuts. show the guys backstage walking up to the stage , the lights going out and them taking the stage plus the first song.. I LOVE THAT SHIT!!!" Ok, I gave it my best shot, 13 minutes of fun, DIG IT!

Another day, another video, another babble, another setlist discussion, another tunning & attitude jam, another St. Anger from another fucking gig in Sydney!
