Glede na to, da se je v Kranju ravnokar končal Teden mladih, bo naslednji Metal Up Your Ass!!!, ki bo v četrtek 25.05.2006, malo bolj umirjen, da si naberemo novih moči. Kraj dogajanja še vedno Rock Bar DownTown od 21^h dalje.
Ogledali si bomo dokumentarec o nastajanju projekta “Roadrunner United” pri katerem so poleg glavnih protagonistov, kot so Robert Flynn (Machine Head), Dino Cazares (ex-Fear Factory, Asesino, Brujeria), Matthew K. Heafy (Trivium) in Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Murderdolls), sodelovali tudi Dani Filth (Cradle Of Filth), Peter Steele (Type O Negative), Max Cavalera (Soulfly), Keith Caputo (Life Of Agony), King Diamond (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate), Howard Jones (Killswitch Engage), Glen Benton (Deicide), Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), Dez Fafara (Devildriver, ex-Coal Chamber) in mnogi drugi.
Za vse glasbene okuse bo tudi tokrat poskrbel DJ HellFucker, ki bo ta četrtek posvetil malo več pozornost skupinam iz začetka oziroma sredine 90-ih let. Glasbene želje pa so seveda tudi dobrodošle.

Frediablo se je odločil, da zapusti vse projekte, v katerih sodeluje – Necrophagia, Gorelord, Wurdulak, Chamber Of Strength, razen Grimfist, s katerimi bo igral tudi v prihodnje. Pravi, da bi zaradi preobširnega udejstvovanja lahko le tako ohranil ljubezen do metal glasbe. /M.P./
