Ive not seen the Metallica film but didnt they take the piss out of DS for being on a private jet. Or something like that.

No, in A Year and a half in the life of Metallica" they are in their private jet on the runway and they see another band in a private jet and Lars says "Is that Dire Straits?" But they don't take the piss. Great doc.

Some kind of monster is very bizarre. Rock group going through therapy on film

Difficult to believe but no harm intended and all tongue in cheek. Guy and Richard don't need to do what they do and everything they do do for fans is appreciated I'm sure. I do tend to find the diary posts less interesting as the tour goes by however. They can be pretty samey.

A great, legendary deejay/presenter passed away yesterday here in the UK called Sir Jimmy Saville.  In a documentary he said that when he was away from home he only took one pair of underpants with him and washed them in the hotel wash hand basin before he went to bed so they were dry and clean for him in the morning.  That way he only needed to take one pair of underpants with him!  Needless to say he was just a little eccentric! ;D

Pottel will ask Guy.  I guess Guy has been used to answering Pottel's questions.  ;)

Actually that's what I do when i'm travelling (well I take two pair just in case of the first pair isn't dry in the morning) :lol
