The crew was loading in the gear at the Waldbühne today. (it means forest stage) This place has a lot of history behind it. Primarily it was used by Hitler to address his generals. Very weird feeling to walk down the same tunnel as Hitler did. Pics are up. We might not have internet access at the show tomorrow (the venue IS in the middle of a forest), but I will try to at least post the setlist after the show somehow. Pics will come a day or two later.

Your first video of the Europe Escape tour is now up! Click the video link next to the Rock Am Ring date!

I am currently working on a video for the Rock Am Ring show. If all goes well, I will have it posted tonight. In the meantime, here is a review from Wufga who posts on the Metallicabb.com message board:<p>oh my god it was so great i was almost in the front so cool creep was a great opening song everybody went mad, yeah! It was my first concert but hopfully not my last. For me is metallica always the best band because i am a fan, but also my friends who are normaly no metallica fans said that metallica was the best band in the festival. Now they are fans!

Lots of show pics are up for your viewing pleasure. Next stop, Berlin. See you there!

Metallica played another blistering set tonight before a very loud Rock Im Park crowd. Setlist is up, woking on some pictures right now. They will be up soon.

Wow, I don't think I have ever heard a more powerfull rendition of Orion. Fucking amazing. Band are now playing Damage. What's next?

We are 8 songs into the set. So far, we have heard Creep, Fuel, Roam, God, Unforgiven Battery, Master, and now Thingy. The crowd is very into it!! INSANITY!!!

Band had another great meet and greet with the fan club members. They are now getting ready for the tuning room, and then on stage! What will they break out next? Stay tuned!

The Darkness are currently on stage. Just before that, we had Bullet for my Valentine with the lead singer wearing a Metal Up Your Ass shirt! (see pic)

Crew left the Ring early this morning, and arrived at the Park a we hours later. It's looking to be a great day! Trivium just finished their set. Pics to come!
