Clint dives into part 1 of A Week and a Half in the Life of Metallica from the Load boxset covering the Escape From the Studio Tour in '95. The boys play a warmup show in London, debut Load (and Reload) songs and drunkenly hang out together for what was probably one of the last times of those kinds of shenanigans. Clint also talks St. Anger as catharsis, what to say when you meet members of Metallica, why people watch entire shows through their phones, horror movies and a chilling tale of unprofessionalism at a movie theater in Nashville, TN. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas! This week Clint takes a look at the TV Appearances from '96-'97 from Disc 4 of the Load Boxset which include one of the best live versions of Until It Sleeps, a bizarre lip sync of Hero of the Day, two rare performances of Mama Said, Wasting My Hate from Jools Holland and the infamous performance of Last Caress/So What that got the boys banned from European MTV. 

Clint also reads listener e-mails and talks the greatest debut rock album of all time, how Frodo's curse of the ring is similar to his quest to promote the Load era, why the internet can poison your joy and some updates and info about TEEMU, the current guitar player for Megadeth. Enjoy!

This week Clint takes the deep dive into all things Until It Sleeps via the Load Boxset and the Overload extras to track the entire writing process of the song from a random jam on the studio floor at The Plant during the making of Load. HE also talks his St. Anger edit, why 2x4 is the spiritual successor to Battery, the "Get the Load Out" contest, listener e-mails and original music, why everyone sits at concerts these days, the Halloween franchise and more!
