Lord of the Rings author J. R. R Tolkien *is* the godfather of metal, and on this week's episode of B-Sides we dive into all of the different ways his work has bled into the world of metal, from band names to stage names to metal musicians perspectives on how the Dwarves actually represent greedy capitalist pigs. Stay tuned for a surprise guest who unexpectedly drops in halfway through. Almost like an...unexpected journey! Oh damn droppin' Hobbit references!
