Aftershow party in Germany Wednesday, November 17th 1999 - 08:51:50 PM

GERMAN POWER WOLVES have organized an after-show party on the night from Friday, November 19th to Saturday, November 20th 1999 and they're pleased to finally announce the details: The METALLICA FAN PARTY aka. "WHISKEY IN THE JAR FOR BREADFANS IN BERLIN" will take place at the MUSIC HALL, Storkower Str. 135, Berlin - Prenzlauer Berg. This rock club with a capacity of approx. 900 will be open from 9 pm, but most guests are expected to show up about half an hour after METALLICA finished their symphonic set at the Velodrom. We will try to set up signs at the Velodrom that you can follow right through to the Music Hall - it shouldn't be more than a 10 minute walk. The price for a ticket will be 15 DM (approx. 8 U.S. $), but you'll get to see the popular German Metallica Cover-Band NUTELLICA playing live and even after they've finished their set, you can drink, dance and rock out to some good music until the early morning. Rumours are that Ingo Knollmann, the former designer of the comic Holiday Issue covers of SO WHAT!, who's also the former singer of NUTELLICA (now fronting the DONOTS) might show up to sing a few songs with his old bandmates. And if this wouldn't be good enough, we can offer you a "buy ten, get one free" ticket deal if you reserve your tickets ASAP by calling +49-(0)173-3553978. Once again, this is not an official MetClub party, but all Metallica fans (including Club members) are welcome to attend! And if you're planning to spend the whole weekend in Berlin, you're welcome to show up (again) in front of the Velodrom on Saturday, November 20th at 5 pm and hang out with a few members of the German Power Wolves who are going to howl around until they find a nice place to get a bite to eat, have a chat and just have a spontaneous, relaxed, but fun evening together. If you have any questions regarding this meeting, you're welcome to call Chapter Head Robert at +49-(0)173-3553978.

If any of you live in Minnesota, you'll know there's only one station that knows how to rock: 93X! I though I'd share with all of you that I'm an avid listener of 93X. Obviously, Metallica is a large part of their playlist throughout the day (and evening). 93X has recently started a "Metallica Petition" that will *hopefully* bring the band here to Minneapolis before the end of the year. I thought I'd bring this up since it may have something to do with the piece of news I posted previous to this one. Perhaps their will be another tour at year end?? Only time will tell. If you don't have a cool station to listen to, check out 93X on the web!!!

Our Sincere Condolences... Thursday, July 29th 1999 - 05:54:14 PM

A dedication at a live Metallica show is something that is extremely rare. They're quite far and few between, actually. However, I failed to mention in my personal review of the Metallica set at Woodstock '99, that a dedication took place that evening. Just before Metallica began "Turn the Page", Jaymz dedicated that song/performance to Amanda, who recently passed away. Tony Smith, who is the President of The Metallica Club, was also father to Amanda. The Metallica Club posted a message from Tony Smith at the official Metallica Club website, www.metallica.com Donations, for those who wish to contribute, can be sent to: The Amanda Smith Memorial Fund C/O St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital 501 St. Judes Place Memphis, TN 38105 USA All of us at the University of Metallica would like to take this time to express our sincere condolences to the Smith family. May the Lord be with you during this difficult time and always... God Bless.

Symphonica Release Confirmed Wednesday, July 28th 1999 - 05:24:52 PM

While being interviewed at Woodstock '99, Metallica confirmed that they will hit the studio shortly to begin work on the Symphonica album. Just in case you recently crawled out of a cave, Metallica joined forces with the San Francisco Orchestra in April 1999. This performance was recorded live... You'll be able to listen to Metallica jam with the orchestra just like they did a few months ago! Rumor has it with the release of Symphonica, there will also be a VHS/DVD performance of the show as well. Symphonica is slated for a November 1999 release.

Jaymz & Kirk with Primus Wednesday, July 28th 1999 - 05:08:54 PM

You can check out a brief sample of the new Primus album "Anti-Pop" at www.primussucks.com Why am I mentioning Primus on a Metallica website?? Our friends, Jaymz and Kirk make special guest appearances on separate tracks on the new album. Whether or not Jaymz or Kirk appear on this brief MP3 Primus sample is unknown. You can listen to Jaymz on the track "Eclectic Electric" when you go buy the new album, however, the name of the title that Kirk appears on is yet unknown.

Metallica at Woodstock '99 Monday, July 26th 1999 - 06:02:42 PM

The crowd at Woodstock '99 anxiously waited for The Four Horsemen to hit the stage on Saturday, July 24, 1999. Metallica were the last band to perform that evening, while following such acts as Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, and The Chemical Brothers. They took the stage at approximately 11:00 p.m. (EST) and plunged into "So What!" They followed with "Master of Puppets" but Metallica opted to not play the full length album version. "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Fuel", "King Nothing", and the entire rendition of "Bleeding Me" came immediately afterwards. Jaymz didn't do his usual fuckin' around with the audience, probably do to time constraints. This may explain why they went from one song right into the next with hardly any break. "Sad But True", "Turn the Page", "Wherever I May Roam", and "One" followed. After they had a chance to catch their breath after "One", the boys launched into everybody's all time, moshing favorite "Fight Fire with Fire". "Nothing Else Matters", and the crowd participation title "Seek & Destroy" helped everyone get into that famous Metalli-attitude. "Creeping Death", "Die, Die My Darling", and "Enter Sandman" rounded off that segment of the show. After Sandman, the boys took another much needed break, and relaxed for a few minutes. Kid Rock joined them on stage for a brief moment before they closed the evening with "Battery". Zoku.
