Metalli-chat...well this deteriorated

Hey guys! Welcome to Metalli-cast part 2. J & I are still all aboard the Metalli-train express! So hop on board and join the madness. 'Fuel' (ed) by alcohol(ica), we take a trip back into our own Metallica origin stories, the masculine sphere of Metal and how perhaps Metallica have always challenged that, whether it be through James Hetfield's songwriting or Lars Ulrich/Kirk Hammett's eye make-up in the 'Until It Sleeps' MV. We then discuss how Metallica managed to transition after the tragic death of forever bell-bottomed bassist, Cliff Burton, from pure thrash to perhaps being Metal's first pop girlies with the genre-redefining Black album? Our love for their more experimental albums Load/ReLoad/S&M era literally lasts to the ends of the earth, so if you're a Load hater, don't even bother hopping on board this particular Metalli-train. We then move on to move on and discuss the perfect push and pull dynamic of the reserved and emotionally complex James Hetfield and that always iconic diva, Lars Ulrich. In an absolute moment of 'Frayed Edges of Sanity ', I then compare Metallica to The Spice Girls. And in a final flourish, J & I discuss our Metallica Top of the Pops. If you've managed to stay with us this long without further ado, throw up those horns, fellow metalheads because 'Nothing Else Matters' besides the way Metallica makes you feel. Period. Exclamation point. Metal. Up. Your. Ass. Forever and ever. J & N x
