I got a lot done &#8211; I know I say this but I did, particularly of James. I gave him the new cover of Burrn! which I like (shot in LA) and Kirk was over the moon with Classic Rock&#8217;s photos of him and THE SCORPIONS. He&#8217;s talking to the band about doing a co-headline tour. Did some more of them warming up then shot the show. Hated the set list, found it boring &#8211; no &#8216;Four Horsemen&#8217;, &#8216;Creeping Death&#8217;, &#8216;Damage Inc.&#8217; You get the new songs (fair enough with a new CD) but the rest of it I found a yawnfest &#8211; &#8216;Wolf To Man&#8217;, &#8216;One&#8217; (never liked the song), &#8216;Frantic&#8217;, plus playing in the round there were so many monitors and veri-lights along the front of the stage you were looking up their noses. Walked onstage at the end and got them kicking huge black Metallica balls. I didn&#8217;t get into it as I hadn&#8217;t seen the show with new lights etc.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/www.metalunderground.com\/news\/details.cfm?newsid=39043 Legendary photographer Ross Halfin has posted the following message at his website:&#8220;It&#8217;s been a Metallica weekend &#8211; kind of.
