Stage was set up last night, and the gear is being loaded in right now. (pics are up) Video from the Athens show will be up later today. But first, we have a special guest reporter! That Guy Butch will be checking in from the lighting desk. Stay tuned!

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the States! We went from the warm, sunny temperatures of Greece to the cold, rainy weather here in Vienna. Pics from last night's show are up, as well as two videos from Bilbao and Werchter. Be sure to click the link that reads "click for more tour dates" under the short list on the main page to see all the tour dates, and the videos and photos for each show.

Greece, you guys are sure some loud mother fuckers! At some times you were louder than James singing. Metallica was not allowed to display any pyro this evening but you guys in the crowd brought your own. As you can see Internet still sucks here. By tomorrow night I will have pictures from tonights show and two videos for you to watch. That is all from Greece. See you in Vienna on Thursday.

Internet here is not working so I'm phoning in the setlist. So far we have heard Creep, Fuel, Roam, Bellz, Sanitarium, Justice, Memory, Disposable, Orion, Fade, Puppetz, Battery, and right now Sad is rocking the park. Another update via phone when the show is over.

Some of the crew went into downtown Athens to see the sights and have some local cuisine. It may be the last "free time" the crew has the rest of the tour. We are here at the venue for Rockwave. It is in a park, and it feels like we are in a campground, with a huge mountian overlooking the stage. On the bill today we have Dirt Spawn Disease, My Dying Bride, and Mastodon. Pics are up.

Rock Werchter was defiantly rocking last night. The band were very much on the whole night, with the crowd giving them all that energy right back. It was also the night of "How many camera men can you have on the stage at one time?" Answer = 6. Three video, and three photographers. (well, 2 photographers and your MetOnTour!) Metallica will play the big Rockwave festival here in Greece tomorrow. See you then! MOT

After Disposable, we got Justice, Memory, Horse, and Orion. The boys sound REALLY good tonight, besides James' throat not feeling too well. More to come!

The crowd is very loud and energetic tonight!! So far, the band have played Creep, Bellz, Ride, Disposable and Sanitarium!

Here is a video from the first show in Lisbon! Three words: Justice is done.

This will be Metallica's 5th time playing the Werchter festival. Crew has been here since early this morning setting things up (pics posted). Currently working on a video from the Lisbon show... stay tuned!
