Welcome to Hel ...sinki!!
July 15, 2007
Currently there is a light drizzle here at the Olympic Stadium. Hopefully it will go away by show time. On the bill today are Diablo and HIM. Currently working on the video from Stockholm and Aarhus. Hope to have one of them up today. Stay tuned!
Metallica / Aarhus July 13
July 13, 2007
Woohoo! Another great show from the guys. Lars returned home to more than 50,000 fans at some obscure field outside of Aarhus - the second largest city in Denmark. Everyone was more than happy to welcome him and the rest of Metallica back to a triumphant show!<p>Opening with the classic Creeping Death, the band teared into an amazing set which included pretty much the best songs from Kill Em All, Lightning and Puppetz. We were also treated to a full performance of the title track from ...And Justice For All.<p>One of the hightlights of the show would have to be an absolutely amazing, goose bump raisin' performance of the instrumental Orion - a very fitting tribute to the late Cliff Burton, and played masterfully by Robert Trujillo.<p>Another highlight is always Master of Puppets - an instant hit with the crowd.<p>The band finished with a razor sharp version of oldies Whiplash and Seek and Destroy. After saying their thanks to a great audience, Lars gave everyone some amazing news for everyone to go home with: the band will return in 08 with a new album and a new tour. Fuck yeah! We will be waiting for you.<p>Rasmus Holmen
Interesting Start
July 13, 2007
The band roared onto the stage with Creeping Death. Then, halfway thru Bellz, there was some sort of power spike, and the PA system died. Nice little 20 minute intermission. Power was restored, and the Roam tape came on. After the song, James said Lars needed to touch up his make-up so he can look good for all his friends and family here tonight. (ha ha) After Roam, came Disposable, then Sanitarium, and now Justice is flowing thru the Aarhus air!
Meet and Greet
July 13, 2007
Just finished a long and enthusastic meet and greet. Lars spent the most time talking with his countrymen. Tuning room is next, and then the big rock show from Aarhus!
Homeland

Lars returns with his bandmates to his homeland tonight for the first time since 2004. And between you and me, the VIP list is quite large tonight. (Hmmm, I wonder why!)
