Hello.
Map* *Places of interest as told by your favorite bands to the left.
Corktown Favorite thing spot in Detroit? Ben Weinman, lead guitar: I love to go gamble at the casino. Then I go to this Greek restaurant across the street. First record/album you ever owned? Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi. What is the best part of performing/being onstage? I love pushing myself physically while still expressing myself artistically.
Favorite spot in Detroit? I have played the Majestic Theatre a few times and had a blast ever y single time. The energ y level is always through the roof! First record/album you owned? It was a cassette tape of the Beastie Boys when I was super young. What is the best part of performing / being onstage? My favorite part of being on stage is playing a new tune for the first time and seeing the reaction of the crowd. When it hits like you hoped it would, there's no better feeling for a producer/DJ.

Favorite spot in Detroit? Chuck Dukowski, bass: Rippin' some jammz is far and away my favorite thing to do in Detroit. First record/album you owned? Cream's Wheels of Fire. I still have it. "White Room," "Politician," "Crossroads," etc. What is the best part of performing/being onstage: The pure, intense, unadulterated involvement in the moment. It is an amazing feeling. Looking forward to getting there and doing it in Detroit again after something like 30 years. Last time I collapsed off stage soaking wet with sweat shaking with an epic fever. I only know because a friend told me about it.

On June 8 and 9, Metallica's second annual Orion Music Festival is taking over Detroit's historic Belle Isle with 30+ bands playing over two days of pure adrenaline. "The Orion Festival is a way to show Cliff Burton respect," Metallica's Robert Trujillo says of their band's missed comrade. "Orion" was Burton's baby, a complex instrumental piece with many layers. And just like the song, the festival is multilayered, with a car show organized by James and legendary custom builder Rick Dore; Hit The Lights Films—a tent with movies handpicked by Lars; Kirk's Crypt with a whole lot of gore; and Van's Stage and Vert Ramp where you'll find Robert shredding with team riders. Because we know you can't wait until the festival to get a full dose of Metallica and their motley crew of conspirators, we're bringing them to you early, with this paper that's chock full of interviews, facts, and fans. And don't forget to get your tickets to the festival at www.orionmusicandmore.com. You don't want to miss the most insane thing Belle Isle has ever seen.
