Interview with Volbeat before the Metallica concert 12/8/09

Last night, December 8^th at Arco Arena in Sacramento I got to see one of the greatest shows of my lifetime. Headlining the show was Metallica, being supported by Machine Head and Volbeat. Volbeat is a band I am very familiar with, having followed them for a couple of years and interviewed them over the summer.

Before the show, I got to sit down with Michael Paulson (lead singer) and talk once again. We talked about the tour, the show, his recent illness, opening for Metallica, writing a song for a boxer's entrance, NOT playing my favorite song while I'm there to see them (soulweeper), the price of fame, family and being so far from his home in Denmark.

Listen here to the entire conversation.

This was a great conversation with a band who is opening for the biggest heavy band of all time, a couple of hours before their first show in the U.S. It is great listening. Michael Paulson is one of the most humble rock stars ever. Anders (bass) chimes in a bit also. I hope you enjoy.

Stay tuned for more updates on Volbeat, here as always, in the Continuum.
