The Metal Oasis Podcast

This week, Adam and Orion are joined by TMO fans Matt and Terry. In preparation for their trek to see Metallica take over Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA the boys dive into the setlist. Since Metallica has been playing a large variety of songs on this tour, there are a lot of questions to what unique setlist will be played for the rowdy fans of Virginia Tech Football. This is a mix of a fantasy setlist but using frequency data to curate and predict the perfect setlist.  

Thanks to setlist.fm for providing all the analytical data for every song that Metallica has played on the M72 One Repeat Weekend tour.

This week the boys finally dive into the mighty Pantera with their "debut" release Cowboys From Hell! With the album coming up on its 35th anniversary, it is still held in high regard as it continued to wave the metal flag in a tumultuous period in metal history. CFH finds Pantera shedding their glam metal sound and drive head on into groovy trash metal that would ultimately define their sound. With Dimebag's shredding guitars, Rex's locked in bass tone, Vinnie's bombastic drums, and Phil's growling wails, there is no wonder why this catapulted the band into halls of infamy.  

So join us as we continue the metal journey and get back to our metal root!
