This week, Jim Logrando sits in to discuss the spaced-out swagger of Monster Magnet’s 1998 hit “Space Lord.” As a loyal listener since discovering the band in the late '90s, Jim brings his passion for these groove metal pioneers to the table as we dig into their unlikely brush with mainstream success. With its psychedelic riffs, tongue-in-cheek bravado, and a hook that crashed into the mainstream rock charts, “Space Lord” became the very first video ever played on MTV’s Total Request Live. But despite that moment in the spotlight, we’re left wondering—does this even count? Join us as we examine whether Monster Magnet’s cosmic trip qualifies as a true one-hit wonder.
