We’re in San Jose and it’s unfortunately the last show on the Metallica tour. Prio to the show we remind ourselves that this is the last show and we really want to put an extra effort into this. We actually play a really good show, and the response is great. It’s a great finale and probably our best on this tour, even though every show has meant a lot to us. After the show we get presents from Metallica. James and Lars come into our dressing room and give us all a black bathrobe saying:”VOLBEAT learning to speak english the METALLICA style, one show at a time”. A joke from James who didn’t understand what we said speaking danish with Lars. We also get a signed band photo with a personal greeting and most important a big thank you from the band and crew who have enjoyed our music and company. We experienced a lot and it feels great to know that the hard work put into this VOLBEAT band has paid off. We’d like to thank Metallica and their crew for this fantastic experience, and also their respect for us as persons. And last but not least the great support we had from the audience at every single show. A lot of fans have travelled to see us perform in the USA. You’re the real deal and we know we can trust in you. We’re looking forward to return and play more shows in 2010, and before you know it we’ll see you again! Thanks everyone!

Cheers
Michael, Jon, Anders and Thomas
