All the way from Nashville's Snowmageddon! Clint straps on his Gibson SG and talks through every detail of Wasting My Hate via the Load Deluxe Boxset. He also listens to and critique's Megadeth's ill-advised cover of Ride the Lightning and talks about why nothing that comes from the Pet Semetery will ever replace the real thing.

Patrons receive all stems and decide on the next Load deep dive. Stay warm out there!

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!
