Dying Time Is here
June 18, 2006
The boys are just now finishing up the Master set. Damn, I can never get tired of hearing Orion played that, In-fucking-tense! It's 1am, what's coming up next?!?!
Setlist update
June 17, 2006
Just after midnight, and the band is blaring out MASTER, MASTER!! So far, we have heard Creep, Fuel, Roam, New Song, and Unforgiven!
It's HOT!
June 17, 2006
A very hot day today in Imola. I'm trying to keep cool and indoors by working on the Novarock video for you guys. Living Things just finished their set. Crowd was not to happy with them. Bottles were flying back and forth. (so I hear) Up next is Lacuna Coil!
Heineken Jammin
June 17, 2006
Doors are open and the crowd is coming in. First band coming up is Water In Face. The "band" right before Metallica is the Italy vs. USA World Cup match. Hopefully it won't go over. Pics are up.
Tallinn video
June 16, 2006
I hope you have a snack and a nice beverage close by when you watch this video, because it's a long one, just a little over 25 mins! First off, coverage of the press conference with the Estonian media (pay close attention, a little detail is revealed). Of course, meet and greet footage, plus some never before seen pre-show rituals! A little bit of the opening song, and everyone's favorite, Fade To Black. Enjoy!
WOW!
June 16, 2006
That's all I can really say at this point. Wow! What an encore. Jerry Cantrell came out to help sing vocals on Nothing Else Matters. Then, after Sandman, another mic was set up next to James'. But it had a very different configuration. Only one person uses that kind of mic, and that's LEMMY! Lemmy came out with bass in hand, and lended a hand on Damage Case! That's right, only the second time EVER that Metallica has played that song. Then, if that wasn't enough, a long time member of the crew had a birthday today, and if you have your birthday on a show day (or near it) you get the royal cream pie treatment! Happy Birthday Paul! Setlist is up, pics to come.
Met on stage
June 15, 2006
Internet has been down most of the evening, but it's up right now. So far the boys have played Creep, Fuel, Roam, Bellz, Unforgiven, and they just finished the Master set. What's in store for tonight? Something special I'm sure. Stay tuned!
