Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Metallica were a well-established touring act when they went into the studio to record their 5th album, but they wanted more. The boys welcome a special guest and discuss rhythm guitar mic'ing techniques, memorable drum fills, and bringing the blues back into heavy metal.
