"It's going to be mind-blowing," Tee told KERRANG! "Currently, we're looking at something like 400m2 (400 square meters) of LED onstage-at least 100% more than any other act-so it's a phenomenal visual sight."
The guys are bringing out lasers and pyrotechnics, to boot. "Within that they've got stage risers for the band to run up and down on, play on, and to accommodate some special guests you'll find out about," Tee said.
Tee added he's preparing for 18 trucks of equipment for Metallica. "I spent 20 years as Head of Production at Glastonbury and worked most of the major festivals, and without a doubt this is probably the largest individual artist production I've ever dealt with," he said. Read more here.

The video for the track "Everyday" finds Rocky looking into a crystal ball at a potential future, with the opening scene seeing him having gained weight, older, and nearly drowning in a swimming pool.
In the clip, Rocky is filthy rich, he can get young women to come over for sexual encounters on demand, and has a habit of taking handfulls of pills. Rod Stewart calls Rocky in concern but he never picks up.
The clip goes on to reveal that this is the no too distant future when Rocky appears dead on television, with further flashbacks showing a happier potential route for his life. It's all pretty heavy and reflective, coinciding with the tones of his recent video output. Check it out here.
Tiesto, who has always ranked high on the list comes in third with his earning at around $36 million. Tied for fourth place is Steve Aoki and Sonny Moore (Skrillex), who earned the most in his career, which can be attributed to his overwhelming number of live shows.

While recently speaking with the Sunday Times, the 23-year-old "Good For You" singer addressed a few topics that seem to constantly come up in her interviews, including her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and the purity ring she once wore.
However, she also made it clear that she's more than happy to leave the past behind. "I'm not embarrassed to say [I wore the ring]," she said. "I'm also not embarrassed to say that the ring has come off. I got it when I was 13 and I respect so much what it represented, but it isn't for everyone." Read more including her comments about Bieber here.
I was sitting around my 1 Bedroom Apartment in Texas with Mary Jane back in July 2014. I heard this Riff in my head like I always do so I picked up my Acoustic Guitar and started transposing the "Verse Riff". It came together really quick and before I knew it I had an entire Intro and Verse written. I kept on grooving to the verse riff trying to come up with a Chorus.
That Chorus did not come to me til I went to Matt McDonoughs house for a Weekend of writing sessions. We haven't played together since 2009. That is where the Chorus Riff was first written. Matt and I put the Structure of the Song together that weekend.
The Vocals came together in the Studio at On The Porch Studios in Orlando the following August. We had a tough time trying to come up with a Hooky Chorus until we left for a Beer run and I hummed this Melody "Slow,Burning,Flame" to Billy on the way out the Door. We got back from the Store and Billy went in and Tracked the Chorus Vocals. The rest is History!
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album right here!
