No Maisy, I haven't seen Metallica live either :( I watched some live performances on Youtube and described them, I hope that's not lame :P

Chapter 208

Dave opened up his laptop and logged on. He was at his hotel in Sydney, Australia for a show the following night.

He felt disappointed when Catriona wasn't online, then remembered the time difference. Dumbass, it's one in the morning there. Of course she's not going to be online, he reminded himself.

Dave found the homepage of Seattle Post-Intelligeer, looking for a review of the concert. He smiled in satisfaction when he read the review. It was very positive, the band in good form and Catriona singing beautifully. The article was accompanied by a picture of her onstage. She looked beautiful in a black velvet gown, the bodice laced tight and the top of her bosom exposed. Her auburn hair was pulled back into a knot at the nape of her neck, the diamond and sapphire necklace glittering around her slender throat.

I miss her already, she looks so beautiful, he mused, a dreamy smile on his lips.

"Hey, you alive in there?", asked someone with a heavy Brooklyn accent, pounding on the door.

Dave closed the laptop and opened the door. James Lomenzo stood on the other side, a smirk on his face. He was several inches shorter than Dave, his blond hair falling to his shoulders and wearing black jeans and a Black Sabbath t-shirt.

"How's it going, dude? You wanna go out for dinner? Shawn and Chris got other plans", he said.

"Sure, I need to get outta here. I'll be down in a bit", he said, closing the door.

Dave quickly put on jeans and an Iron Maiden shirt, brushing his hair. The gleaming coppery waves fell to his shoulders, shining under the light.

"Yeah, I can't mope in my room all night, that's a great idea, James", he chuckled to himself, as he put the key in his pocket and left the room.

James was waiting for him downstairs in the lobby. "It's not good to be mooning all by yourself in the room, Dave. You can't just teleport to Seattle", he joked.

"I wish. I miss her already, James. Don't you miss your wife?", he asked, as they went to the hotel restaurant.

"Yeah, of course. But I don't spend my time brooding, I'd go nuts", he cracked.

The restaurant looked like an Australian-themed pub. It was spacious, with a long bar on one side, a wall of liquor bottles behind it. Several men sat on chairs and nursed their drinks, the jukebox playing country music.

The waiter led them to a table and handed them their menus before discreetly leaving. "James, you aren't freaked out by me and Kitty?", he asked.

"Hell no. I've seen all kids of crazy shit, trust me. You and Kitty are so in love, it makes me wanna puke. Of course Pam is being a bitch about it, but who cares?", he shrugged.

"I'm just concerned about her being on tour with Andrew, he's acting really weird", said Dave.

"I know, I think he's on drugs. Somebody gets like that, they're abusing something, but I trust Kitty", said James, as the waiter arrived with their drinks.

I don't know if I trust Andrew or not. I hope he doesn't try to mess with Kitty or anything.

And there's nothing lame about not seeing Metallica live. Concert tickets are expensive, and where we live we often have to travel a distance to see concerts. Well, except for Metallica since they are doing a New Orleans show in November, but usually we have to go to Houston or Dallas to see shows. When I saw Iron Maiden this past June, we drove all the way up to fucking Chicago just to see them, a 14 hour drive. :lol: Of course I had another work related reason to be in Chicago so I got to write it off, but it still was a long fucking way to go for a concert. I could have seen Metallica in Dallas this past August at Ozz Fest but it was on a Saturday and I always work on Saturdays. :angry :angry

I'm shocked you haven't seen them Vanessa, cause you write the concert scenes so well!

I hope Andrew doesn't hurt Kitty- now I'm worried. But I know Dave will be there in a shot if ANYTHING happens.

Yay! These latest chapers rocked! Loved, loved, loved reading about the gigs. (and, as always, about what everybody's wearing. That part is so much fun!)

Metallica have insane energy on stage. And then when you consider their ages... damn! Very impressive, those guys. I think you did a great job of capturing what their shows are like. This, in particular, was awesome:

Chapter 209

"I hope Shane's not going to be lonely", said Avery worriedly.

"Don't worry, he's a Burton. He's probably on MSN with his little girlfriend", joked Lars, holding out the chair for her before sitting down himself.

After the show, Lars had suggested they go to out for dinner at one of their favorite restaurants, Le Pantere Negri. It was an elegant Continental European restaurant, the decor formal. It was a large room done in muted earth tones, resembling a high-end huntsman's club with the stuffed animals heads mounted on the walls.

"It's been a while since we've been here, I hope the venison is still good", said Avery.

"I hope so too, the show was great, right? I hope we weren't rusty, but the crowd seemed really into it. I'm glad no one threw anything at HIM, I like them. I saw them play in Copenhagen several years ago, they're an awesome band", said Lars.

The waiter set down a bottle of wine and poured them each a glass. Lars drank his, observing her from out of the corner of his eye. Avery looked stunning in a simple, elegant black velvet dress. It was one long piece with a halter top, tiny black beads shimmering under the light. Her hair gleamed like polished copper, arranged in a knot on top of her head with a few loose curls framing her face. Blue eyes gleamed with amusement, her face still lovely with only a few wrinkled about her eyes.

She still looks great, and she's going to be a grandmother. But we're nothing more than friends, he reminded himself.

"I read the review of Kitty's show, it looks like it went very well. You should see her perform, Lars. She has such a beautiful voice and stage presence. I never she had it in her", said Avery.

"I saw a clip on Youtube. You're right, Kitty has a marvelous voice and some charisma. Our little Kitty's grow up", he chuckled, taking a sip of wine.

"Lars, what do you think of her dating Dave Mustaine?", she asked suddenly.

"I wanted to kick his ass at first, but I've gotten used to the idea. I can't believe Andrew cheated on her with some groupies, I did the same thing and I regret it to this day. But he's an idiot, he didn't even try to hide it. If Dave doesn't kick his ass, we all will", he growled.

"Thank you, Lars. You're a good friend", she said, kissing his cheek.

Lars felt his heart sink. I'm just a friend. Of course, she's Cliff's widow, dumbass, he thought, hastily grabbing the menu.

I bet that Lars feels stupid for cheating on Elinor. He should feel stupid, because Lars and Elinor used to rock.
I'm glad that he admitted that he cheated on her while he was talking about Andrew, or else he would have been the pot calling the kettle black. I'm so glad that Kitty got out of the relationship with Andrew. I think that Andrew is a turd.

Oh my God, Lars! Just go for it!!

Poor little Danish, he's all conflicted. I hope he sorts himself out soon. I bet Avery would quite enjoy a real date with him. They can still be friends... I'm sure Cliff would approve!

Her dress sounds gorgeous. Halter necks are so flattering... and black is always a classy choice.

I'm feeling better today, so here's another chapter :)

Chapter 210

Their tour made it's way across California. Both Apocalyptica and Beren's Dream got along great, the audiences enthusiastic. Catriona and Perttu had become good friends, spending a lot of their free time discussing Lord of the Rings and going to comic book stores.

However, Andrew stayed aloof from the group. He spent his time either with the numerous groupies he attracted or doing drugs. When he had them, he was almost agreeable and cheerful. When he didn't get them, however, he was touchy and angry, the slightest thing setting him off.

Ron frowned when he saw Andrew's dressing room closed, the tell-tale sniffling sound coming from inside. He'd better not fuck up the show tonight, I don't need for anyone to get hurt, he thought.

Several days ago at their show in San Diego, Andrew's drugs hadn't shown up on time for the show. He didn't want to go on, and only the band's pleading convinced him otherwise. However, the show was a disaster. Andrew had been so craving for drugs that he kept forgetting the words to his own songs, his guitar playing sloppy. Catriona had tried her best to keep calm, but she was clearly frustrated at his behavior, the crowd hissing and booing. Afterwards, Andrew had locked himself in his dressing room with two sexy but skanky Mexican girls and they didn't emerge for over an hour.

"I hope he doesn't fuck things up", grumbled Catriona.

"I got you, Kitty. I managed Megadeth for a few years back in the eighties, no matter how fucked up Dave was, he never screwed up the shows that bad or canceled. And Dave was doing a helluva lot of drugs. Andrew's being an asshole", he muttered.

The door swung open, as Andrew got out. By his side was a teenage girl in a miniskirt and bikini top, her bleached blond hair tied back in a bun. His eyes were bloodshot and his nose twitched, while the girl's top was crooked and traces of cum covered her face, the miniskirt revealing that she wore no underwear.

"Andrew, you have better not end up in jail. The show last night was terrible", said Ron, giving him a look.

"Da, I know. Why cannot I enjoy a bit of fun, we are a metal band, are we not?", he hissed.

"Yeah, but we can't fuck up the shows, Andrew. Miss, I would recommend you make sure no one sees you here, someone will call the cops. We don't want you to miss the show", she said kindly.

"Okay, see ya later, Andrew", she said cheerfully, leaving the backstage area.

A security guard came over to them, an apologetic look on his face. "Excuse me, Miss Burton, but there's a guy who says he knows you, he says he wants to see you", he said.

"I'll go with you", said Ron, as they followed the guard.

Catriona had to smile when she saw David and Julie waiting for them. "That's okay, I know them", she told the guard.

"Hiya, Miss Kitty. We got tickets for your show and wanted to say hi", said David.

"Awesome. Where's the kids, though?", she asked.

"Roman and Athena are staying with my mother tonight. I don't think this is an appropriate concert for kids", replied Julie.

"I know", she chuckled.

"You wanna go out for dinner later, Kitty?", asked David.

"Sure, we don't leave until tomorrow. And Perttu and Antsa are going out later anyway, I was just going to chill in my room tonight", she replied.

"Who's that?", asked Julie.

"Perttu and Antsa are friends, they're in Apocalyptica. Don't worry, they're a gay couple. Dave knows and he's cool with it", she chuckled.

"Cool. Can't wait to see the show tonight", said David.

I'm glad that you're back and feeling better Vanessa. :)

It's awesome seeing David and Julie pop up again. IMO, Andrew is a fucking chode and if I were the head of Beren's Dream he'd have already been booted out. Sloppiness and poor shows is unforgivable on a night after night basis. His drug problem not only makes him look bad if he plays like crap, but it makes Kitty and the entire band look bad, not to mention it's not fair to the fans to have to see a crappy show. Andrew=UGH. :ugh:


But everyone else in the story rocks. :) Except for Pam and her Anna Nicole laywer dude.

I agree, Andrew needs to be shown the door, pronto! And eww, the girl with cum on her face. So nasty, that girl has no dignity. Andrew needs someone to straighten him out.
