Metallica refused to divert from their European tour schedule in light of the ash cloud caused by Eyjafjallajökull.
Instead, the band went back to old-school transportation Instead, they spent extra-long hours traveling by bus and boat (28 hours travel time compared to a two-hour plane ride) from Oslo to the Latvian capital of Riga to continue their European Tour.
The band is scheduled to leave Lithuania for Moscow tomorrow and will likely be making the 13-hour journey by train. How they’ll all return to the U.S. after that remains a mystery.
