In this episode of The David Ellefson Show, comedian and metalhead Jim Florentine joins David to share wild stories from his youth growing up in New Jersey near Johnny Z and the legendary Megaforce Records. Jim recalls unforgettable moments like taking Dave Mustaine and Metallica to the mall in the early days, and doing stand-up comedy between sets on the 2010 Megadeth and Slayer tour. He talks about blending metal and humor, including one gig where he got fined for cussing—because the venue was attached to a zoo! It’s a hilarious and nostalgic ride through metal history with one of its most unique voices.
