Update From The Road

After being home for a few days we flew to Zurich, Switzerland, to kick off our own, tight European tour. Originally the tour was planned to last for 6 weeks, but when Metallica asked us to join the US tour, we had to minimize the amount of dates. So we put together a tight schedule through Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Holland. We’ll continue the European tour in early 2010 going to Austria, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia by the way. But it was good to be back on common grounds and with all you European fans. Unfortunately the last show in Holland ended with Michael collapsing on stage due to exhaustion from a serious flu.

When the chock from that was over, we had a couple of nights at home. We flew from Copenhagen again, via London to Las Vegas. We landed the night before the show and even though we were pretty jetlagged, we went out for dinner and some Las Vegas nightlife. We were invited to a local metal bar, owned by Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Vinnie Paul (Pantera), where the Metallica fan club held a party, but we politely passed on that one, as it was getting past midday Danish time and we had to get some sleep.

We woke up early Saturday and spent the morning in downtown Las Vegas before going to the venue for sound check. This time we were a lot more used to the stage in comparison to the tour start in Toronto a month earlier. We played a good show and some fans had brought Volbeat banners and the response from the crowd was great.

After the show, some of us stayed at the venue to watch Machine Head (who had taken over the main support slot from Lamb of God) and Metallica. Others went to see the Pinball Hall Of Fame. Anders and I squeezed a Willie Nelson show before the bus headed off to Salt Lake City.

Right now we’re in Boise Idaho, its freezing and we hide inside the bus all day, figuring out how to get back at James Hetfield and win our ongoing dressing room fight…
