1:39It is finally time. That's right. It's time for the times. The Decibel Geek times. The times of our lives. The times you always want to remember. The things you never want to forget. My name is Aaron Camaro. Joined as always by my friend Chris Sinzak. Are you ready to take a walk through the annals of time with me? Yes, sir. Let's go. All right. My people. My rock and rollers out there in the world. Killing some time with your boys.

2:10Let's have some fun with it. As you know, we always started off like this. It's Rockstar Death Days. Important people that you want to remember in this entire month of March. Yeah, we're cramming the whole thing into one episode once again. So, let's talk about the people we're going to miss that celebrates the anniversaries of their passing in the month of March. Let's scroll on down here and there we go. There's a bunch of them. I'm just going to kind of jump around.

2:41On the 16th, back in 1990, at the age of 24, lead singer Mother Love Bone, Andrew Wood. Man, this guy, he was like trapped in time. You know, he's basically in a band with Pearl Jam, but he looks like he could be in a band with Ugly Kid Joe. Yeah. And kind of acted like it, too. It was a cool thing, man. I didn't know nothing about Mother Love Bone, except when Pearl Jam got popular, and people would tell me, like, before Pearl Jam,

3:14there was a band called Mother Love Bone, and they were really good. And then finally one time I found the CD and listened to it and was blown away. And I like Mother Love Bone, even for, what, one album and one EP? I'll take that over all of Pearl Jam, I think. Well, that first Pearl Jam album, I still think that's a classic, personally. But I did not follow them after that. Even the next one I wasn't that high on, other than a few songs. Pearl Jam's hit and miss with me. They got, like, on each album,

3:45there's at least like a handful of songs that are really good and then a whole bunch of art that I don't understand. That's pretty well said. That's pretty much the, because it was just like, you know, and maybe we need it dumbed down for us, because what they did, they must have, I don't know, it just seemed like they thought, like, we're more artsy than what you heard on the first record. And it was just like, well, I liked what you did on the first record. But anyway. And Mother Love Bone was kind of artsy, but in a cool, trippy, rock and roll sort of way. Kind of funky in a way, too, on some of their stuff. But, yeah, I didn't know about Mother Love Bone until, like, most people did

4:18when the Temple of the Dog thing came out. Yep. You know, and that's when everyone started talking about them.

4:25Yeah, it's a shame, too, because, I mean, they were awesome. And Andrew Wood was such a great front man for the band, but he was all messed up on drugs. Well, it's a Seattle band. You know, what do you expect back then? He overdosed on heroin, like a lot of those guys did. But it was sad. I mean, they kept him on life support for quite a long time, and then eventually they had to pull the plug on the guy. But, you know, that's a history changer right there. That's a big what if. You know, what if that guy would have lived?

4:56What kind of effect would that have had on the whole grunge scene? Yeah, you do wonder. I still think Nirvana would have hit like they did. I think it would have continued anyway. But would the scene have been as rich as it became with Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains? You know, because it was a, yeah, they were the bridge between hair, metal, and grunge. Yeah, totally. That's a real good point, because they were a little bit of both. I'm a hip-hop surgeon at a moment of sight.

5:30I said, kiss my name, baby. In between your bridge and bridge. You know, you know, you know.

5:38And the stories of an imaging up to par. I'll tell you what I did. I slid the beat, baby. Seen it better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better, better. Baby, I'm a star. Captain, I saw the love coming in. Hey, I'm Skitska, baby.

5:59I'm the ill-stopper, L.I.P. I'm talking about a captain, I'm talking about a commander. I don't want to control your sister.

6:12And all that trouble is all good. All right. What else we got?

6:44So many, so many. Oh, man. Chuck Berry. Back in 2017, on the 18th of March, at the age of 90. He died of a heart attack outside of his home in St. Louis. I mean, he's the godfather of guitar rock. Like, he's really the beginning of it. And on top of that, just the music and the attitude. Chuck Berry, forefather of rock and roll. Everything we like kind of starts with Chuck Berry. Yeah, I kind of consider it. Well, I know some people are like Howlin' Wolf.

7:14There's a lot of argument. Bill Haley, all that. But to me, he's the person that made rock and roll famous to begin with. Because he was a huge deal. And continued on for, you know, as a legend. But, you know, obviously there's plenty of stories about Chuck's private life. Which we won't dive into. But one of the weirdest trivia facts about Chuck Berry that a lot of people, even though it only happened just a few years ago, probably don't know. Do you know who gave the eulogy at his funeral?

7:44It was Gene Simmons, wasn't it? And he happened to be in town, and they asked him to do it, and he did it. That's wild. Who would ever thought that? When Chuck Berry dies, Gene Simmons is going to give his eulogy. I wonder if he sent him a bill afterwards.

8:01To the Chuck Berry estate. We've got to charge him for that meet and greet. Do you want us to stop? Do you want us to play? Do you want us to go? Do you want us to stay? Just stay here and boogie All night and all day Well, hold your hand up high So the drama won't tire Hold it up a little higher

8:32Set the pedal on fire My throat is getting drier So you gotta get higher Get on down and I get it All right, from there we go back to 2015 On the 20th At the age of 55 Twisted Sister And Adrenaline Mob

9:03He's the guy A.J. Perro He rocked and rolled until the very end He was actually out on tour when he passed away He had a heart attack on the tour bus Man, Adrenaline Mob was like a cursed band They really were Yeah Yeah, because then they Somebody else from that band also died I don't know too much about Adrenaline Mob I know I've listened to him before and kind of dug it But, I don't know I guess not enough to really dig into him I didn't It didn't do a whole lot for me It felt kind of sterile

9:34And kind of robotic And that's part of the reason I have a problem with that Mike Orlando guy Because he plays with John Bush and Jack Gibson in that Was it Category? Category 7? Category 7 band And it just Something about him just rose me the wrong way about his playing Because also you've got Phil Demmel who plays with actual soul Mike Orlando just sounds like a machine He's a talented player There's just not a lot of personality to his playing And that's why I couldn't get into Adrenaline Mob either

10:05Hmm The Adrenaline Mob army is going to come with pitchfork You don't know shit about music Take a shot What you can't stop Reaching for the sky And hit the wall Get in the ring Take a swing Stop acting like a bitch And croak some balls This is the bed you've made You've got one foot in the grave And you're slowly dying

10:35Now here's where you make your stand Cause your life is in your hands And there's no denying Now quit your fires So you took one in the face Come on Get up Come on Get up In your face Come on Get up Come on Stand up Let's go Thank you.

11:30All right, then we go back to the 23rd of 2014 at the age of 50. Man, this one sucked, man. This one hurt me bad. Found dead in his Richmond, Virginia home of an apparent heroin overdose, Dave Brockie, a.k.a. Odorous Yerungus of GWAR. Oh, man. I freaking love GWAR, and I love Dave Brockie. He was like the ultimate front man.

12:02You know, people talk about great front men in bands. You've got to include him in that conversation. GWAR concerts are crazy anyway. But with him up there leading everything, boy, that's, I mean, I look back at some of the greatest concerts I've ever been to, and right up at the top has always been GWAR. Well, you know, like I've always said, D. Snyder would bully an audience. Dave Brockie would dismember the audience.

12:31Very powerful presence on stage. Yeah, yeah. Cool stuff, man. He had side projects like the ex-cops that I really like. Like, I'm a big Dave Brockie fan, and I'm bummed out. Still to this day that he passed away. But it's cool GWAR carries on. It's never going to be the same. But it's still pretty cool. But it's never going to be the same. All hail Odorous Yerungus. Too damn young. I was surprised by that one. Didn't know he messed around with heroin either. Yeah.

13:02That's too bad. Your face is gross, you eat white toast, you don't know what to do. And just your luck, you really suck, and so I'm sick of you. Sick! Sick! Of you! I'm so sick, so sick of you. Sick! Sick! Of you!

13:26I'm so sick, so sick of you. Bring it down. I said bring it down!

13:38Thank you.

13:44Don't you know? So sick of you. The things you say. The things you do. Don't you know? So sick of you. The things you say. The things you do. I said don't you know? I am so sick of you. The things you say. And all the things you do. I said don't you know? I am so sick of you. The things you say. And all the things you do. Don't you know?

14:14That I'm sick of you. The other things you say. And the things you do. I said don't you know? I'm so sick of you. The other things you say. And everything that you do say. here's another one jeez back in 2022 not all that long ago i guess wow it's been two years already

14:48at the age of 50 also this one on tour in south america complains of chest pains later on is found unresponsive and when it's all said and done they find 10 different drugs in his system talking about taylor hawkins of the foo fighters that was a drag man everybody was upset about that yeah it was that well that one i guess was it was shocking but at the same time i understood it because he did have a history uh kind of a very public history with drugs but it was so sad just

15:21just and you know at the peak of their of their fame you know the foo fighters couldn't get any bigger when that than when that happened and then you hear reports about dave working him too hard and him complaining and wanting to get out of the band i don't know if any of that's true but it's got to be a tough band to play with because i mean it's a it's a lot of gigs you're doing sure especially when you're depending on 10 different drugs yeah he was he was pretty pretty bad off apparently at the end of his life which is real sad

15:51i'm the kind of guy who likes feeling high feeling high and dry and i really like to fly i'm your kind of guy girl i'm not too shy and i want you to fly so i think you ought to try yeah

16:22so you guitar solo

17:11talk about another amazing drummer back in 2002 at the age of 51 man all these guys young longtime Aussie drummer Randy Castillo he had health problems that started in the year 2000 lots of ups and downs you know it would look like things are going to get better and then they don't and then he thinks it's gone and it comes back and in the end it gets him stinking cancer Randy Castillo was awesome I always kind of pair him with um Ricky Parent because they then

17:48they died close together both great drummers you know saw saw Randy play with Motley Crue opening for Scorpions in like 99 that's right he played on the new tattoo album when Tommy Lee wasn't in the band and and he was great I'm not putting him down but it's the same as Motley Crue just sounds like a very different band without Tommy Lee back there but uh it didn't really matter because Mick Morris was 30 times louder than everything else on stage so I couldn't hear really hear Randy that night yeah yeah man if you got to replace Tommy Lee with anybody Randy Castillo be your guy well his his

18:22playing with Ozzy band that shit is awesome stuff California sun but you're still in bed and the California rain is turning red no sign of the night all the keepers of doom in Charlie and the keepers star that groom yeah

18:53can you hear them in the darkness help us get them smile on madness yeah love that in paradise but there's no way he could run to baby love that in paradise for his dream in paradise paradise

19:33I'll see you next time.

20:03Let's see. I mean, other than that, there's just some odds and ends ones. Brad Delp from Boston passed away on the 9th in 2007. You know, their latest singer just died, too. That's right. I saw that, too. I gotta add him to the list.

20:33Tommy DeCarlo, I think, is his name. Yeah. By all accounts, he was an awesome dude. Yeah. Jerry Miller, the editor of Metal Edge magazine for all them years. She passed away on the 14th in 2021. Daniel McMaster, he was the lead singer of Bonham. He got a staph infection that he thought it was a cold back in 2008. It wasn't no cold. Dick Dale, the king of surf guitar rock. That guy lived up to 81 years old. Bernie Torme from the Gillen Band.

21:04He was the guy that Jet Records hired to replace Randy Rhodes. Didn't tell nobody. He just shows up, and they're like, Ozzy's like, well, who are you?

21:13Send him home. Fuzzy Haskins, the founding member of Parliament and Funkadelic. He lived to be 81 years old. Yeah. Wayne Swinney, just back in 2023 from Saliva, the guitar player and founder of the band. Passed away at the age of 59. He had a sudden brain hemorrhage while on tour.

21:35Yeah. And Brett Bradshaw, the drummer from Blackboard Jungle and for Faster Pussycat for a little bit. I don't think the cause of death has ever been revealed on that. I just know he died unexpectedly back in 2021 at the age of 50. Wow. Too damn young. Yeah. Those are your rock star death days. Oh, yeah. Gary Rossington, the longest surviving member of Skinner. 2023 at the age of 71. He was an old rock and roller. Been through a lot. Probably lucky to make it to 71. He's definitely one I wish we had the chance to interview.

22:07Because any interview I saw with him, he was always really entertaining. Yeah, yeah. Awesome guitar player, too, man. And then, of course, I mean, you got to say it because it just happened and is now part of Rockstar Death Days.

22:21Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell just passed away. That one caught me off guard. I didn't even know he had been ill. Me neither. And that man, the last couple of the albums he's put out, man, great stuff. You know what's cool? The last time that you and I got together, we met up at the McKay's Music Store, and it just so happened to have all three of those albums were there on CD. And I was like, hell yeah, because I didn't have any of them. I was like, I'm finally going to get to check out some of this stuff other than one song here or there.

22:55I got into that first album. I didn't even make it to the second one yet. I've been listening to that quite a bit. It's great stuff. It definitely got swept under the rug as far as attention when they came out because they stack up against everything that was released around it. Yeah, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. Good stuff. So, again, you know, we made it this far. We got a few added to the list already in 2026, but not doing too bad. That's a big one right there, and it sucks. But hopefully not too many more for the rest of the year.

23:27That's enough right there. That's it. No more 2026 deaths to add to the list. Yeah, no kidding. Had enough. Those are your rock star death days. Man, like I always say, these people live forever as long as we keep them in our hearts and keep listening to their music. Now's the perfect time to pull out albums by all these bands and give them a spin. And in that way, they live forever. They're still there. Just click play.

23:58And when the lights go down, we're gonna shake the ground. Cause we're the Bastards.

24:28And you're a Bastard too. Cause we're the Bastards. And we're coming for you.

24:43And we're coming for you. We're the Bastards. from there something a little more cheerful some good celebrations of anniversaries talking about

25:27important albums that came out over the years celebrating the big ones we don't have to go back too far back to 2021 to one of chris sinzak's favorite albums paul stanley's soul station now and then celebrating a five-year anniversary i still don't own it and i still haven't heard more than like two songs really i never even bothered to listen to the whole thing maybe three songs i saw it at a good price and i was like yeah you know it's paul stanley saying it's

25:59my favorite album you actually bought it well here's the thing about paul stanley's soul station it's not a band it's an ensemble okay made up of musicians that worked with the likes of christina aguilera whitney houston new kids on the block john mayer nick jonas the backstreet boys everyone you would expect that impressive list goes on and on yeah oh and eric singer oh god yeah i remember

26:34well you know the obvious thing uh our friend sink and stanley retitled them stool station and still calls them that to this day that nickname really stuck oh see what you did there uh there's talk that there's going to be a second stool i mean soul station album no more covers by the temptations the spinners smoking robinson it's the number two number two oh great just great stool station number two there's the title it's already

27:05hey this goes up to 140 in the u.s really in 2021 i mean i still i can't believe that even charted yeah i don't know how many records you got to sell to get to 140 in 2021 i can't believe that when you see me smile you know that the things have just gotten worse and you smile you might see this whole been rehearsed

27:53darling i can't go on without you this emptiness won't let me live without you this all right from there we go back 20 years to 2006 where we're getting the third full-length

28:29studio album from rob zombie it's educated horses it's the follow-up to 2001 sinister urge and the album cover features rob looking like a normal dude on it which is weird it's like i didn't know what to expect i thought it was going to be like a acoustic folk album when i first saw the album cover but no because it's the first album with john five after he leaves marilyn manson probably best known for the songs foxy foxy and the american witch boy the difference between 89

29:01and 2006 when it comes to like how albums chart and what it takes to get there hellbilly deluxe goes to number five in 98 right in 2006 educated horses also peaks out at number five on the u.s charts the difference is in 98 it takes almost three million albums to get you to number five in 2006 500 000 will get you there wow yeah that's weird it's weird when those things pop up and

29:36you go wow look at the difference how many rock albums now will sell 500 000 right yeah shit if paul stanley's stool station would have sold 500k it would have been up to number one number two number two yeah sorry you're right sorry i'm just talking shit two stone eyes up and down your skin assassinate the mind frame

30:10nothing left to win well i see the sun burning in your eyes i see the sun call the suicide let's go the sun what's up what's up you you you you

30:43you you you you you from there we're gonna go back to 2001 oh here's another fan favorite right here it's the 13th full-length studio album from Aerosmith it's just push play or

31:17don't just push eject yeah right I had to work hard for that joke man this is Aerosmith at their laziest did you know that in 2001 you could use AI to write songs for you back then it was called Marty Fredrickson yeah he wrote a lot of songs for them yeah he pretty much wrote this whole album him and that weird old Mark Hudson dude yeah Mark Hudson's a funny guy yeah there was at least seven extra songs written that didn't make the album but

31:52you know I guess that's easy when you got a team doing all the work for you yeah it's I don't know when's the last time you think Aerosmith was like really recording as a band uh somewhere before 2001 yeah maybe that maybe honking on Bobo maybe yeah probably the band records everything separately and it's all pieced together later on Joe Perry says it's the main reason the album sucks so bad even he says it but damn it still goes to number two back in 2001 when that still kind of meant

32:24something did you ever get to listen to all the stuff they did with uh Youngblood this past year I bought the CD I've never cracked it open and listened to it because everything I heard online was just kind of not great yeah the the back in the saddle covers okay yeah because it's a cover of an old Aerosmith song and it's just Youngblood singing along with an old tape that's true it's not like Steven Tyler's busting out the vocals now I guess the bar is pretty low yeah

32:56has been for a long time since honking on Bobo the last great Aerosmith album that's crazy well as we discussed in that episode it's the last real honest Aerosmith album that's true that is true it's so not fair completely inside my head imagine pretending

33:29she's a book that I've read and a beautiful ending it really drives me mad I can't leave her alone cause I won't let me forget rose-colored glasses you know what that says

33:59she's naturally dropped and gorgeous her sweet molasses on my pasta bed she's naturally dropped and gorgeous yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

34:29all right from there we're gonna stay in 2001 for a minute you're gonna you're about to know that it's 2001 when I'm done with this you're gonna say that's so 2001 let's start with this one the second studio album from the band Saliva that's so 2001 every six seconds this band was formed in Memphis in 96 huge breakthrough album this one's based on the singles Your Disease and of course the song Click Click Boom Saliva's original drummer has several co-writes on this album

35:02that drummer Todd Poole from Roxy Blue who would have thought that but it's true he was in this band he was the drummer right here man this is peak saliva they're never gonna be bigger than this that Click Click Boom song was everywhere in 2001 this one goes up to number 56 on the charts I love the riff in Click Click Boom that's a great fucking riff and Saliva's got some good stuff well and also that other song Ladies and Gentlemen I think it's off the next record after this one

35:33I think some wrestler used that song but these guys have been tied with WWE for a long time they use a lot of their stuff on Click Click Boom the only thing I didn't like about it was I had a friend that was just notoriously bad at understanding lyrics that kept swearing up and down that he was saying pull it pull it boom he's like I like that pull it pull it boom song I was like what and then he played it I was like that's Click Click Boom dipshit and he would not believe me he swore up and down it was pull it pull it boom

36:04the joy of growing up in Tennessee okay what the hell is wrong with me my mom and dad work perfect but still you don't hear no crying ass bitching from me like there seems to be on everybody's CD so just sit back and relax and let me have your hand for a minute I can show you something in it

36:34that has yet to be presented oh yeah Click Click Boom I'm coming down on the stereo hit me on the radio Click Click Boom I'm coming down with a new style and you know it's bum wild Click Click Boom I'm on the radio station torn rumination living the scene in devastation you needed a little more 2001? I don't get much more than this it's also a second album

37:05the second album from Buck Cherry it's Time Bomb and these guys owned the early 2000s they were probably the most popular non-new metal type rock band out there at the time they were the next great hope for a lot of people yeah I mean they're California throwbacks to the sleazy Sunset Strip style I saw them at the Cannery here it was a 1029 concert it actually was them Josie from Saliva this is after he had left the band and Blackstone Cherry

37:36in a club yeah see those are three bands that kind of fit together and it was around like probably 2004 maybe and Buck Cherry was fucking great live and I later saw them open for Kiss on like the 2010 tour and it was like how many F-bombs is this guy going to drop between songs because I had my kid with me I was like dude come on oh Uncle Gene's going to have to have a talk with him not that I wasn't dropping F-bombs around the house but that's another story yeah this band started to fall apart

38:07shortly after the release of this album and Josh Todd starts working with Slash and Duff for an upcoming project that they're working on but things don't work out for Josh Scott Weiland would eventually get that job but he was considered at one time to be the singer for Velvet Revolver that could have worked after that Josh is going to rebuild Buck Cherry with new musicians and their next album is going to be even more popular than this one Time Bomb is kind of looked at like a hiccup between the debut album

38:37and the album 15 which would be their most successful album this one's best known for the song Raiden which is pretty popular on rock radio at the time I can tell you I was there the album goes to number 64 although it's the highest charting Buck Cherry album in Japan Felt like a phenol abated The crazy days are taking me down And if you think the road's a ball Well you know

39:08You're thinking it Come on Your soul's never complacent I know a place that you ought to go Go that's in the back You're facing my life And let's run We're going right in We're gonna find a way We're going right in And when the fear has left

39:40You put one down And go on Yeah All right From there we jump back 30 years to an album that commemorates one of the most important moments in Kisstory In 1996 it's KISS Unplugged Oh man Some of the greatest times of my life happened in 1996 This was the total

40:11relaunch of real KISS The KISS that I never got to see The KISS that I only read about in books and magazines and listen to old records that came out before I was old enough to even understand you know and all the years of thinking you know it's never gonna happen Ace and Peter and Gene and Paul are never gonna get back together These guys hate each other They're always talking smack about each other They compete with each other It's never gonna happen And then in 1996 Oh man

40:43What a feeling It finally happened Yeah that whole year I mean I think we did do a 1996 year in review but like we could do an entire episode just on KISS fandom from 96 to 98 because that two year period and then Psycho Circus came out and we were like what but before that that two year period was fucking magical Yeah all the people that used to give me shit for liking KISS are all of a sudden huge KISS fans Yeah It's like

41:13what happened this is amazing It's like yeah man I knew a KISS all along But what great times and what a great night That was back when you know if you wanted to see something like this your ass better be in front of the TV at the right time Yeah Because once it's gone it's gone Halloween night 1995 I remember me and my friend Jason he had cable and it happened it was like I almost I don't remember if I cried

41:43I probably might have a little bit shed a tear maybe at least because like I said you know I got into KISS when I was young and so like I didn't know no different the only KISS I knew was Kiss and Makeup and had all the old records and listened to them all the time and would look at the photos of the bands inside the records and stare at the album covers while I'm listening to the stuff and then all them years later to find out oh well all these things

42:14have changed you know and now KISS don't wear makeup no more and Ace Fraley's gone and Peter Criss is gone and they've had a couple of different guitar players and it's like okay well I still want to keep up with this band and so then you know Crazy Nights comes out and that's really kind of the first one that like comes out new when I'm reintroduced to what KISS is now and you know it's never quite the same because I like the old album so much more and

42:44it's kind of like a mythology thing you know it's this thing that existed at one time and you know your ancient ancestors from five to ten years before you got to see it but to you all you got is the photos you know you got nothing else you got the band what it is now but you look at the way they used to be and you're like man that was so cool you know why can't why can't I have that KISS why can't that KISS still be here

43:14and then to find out like unplug's happening you got to be in front of the TV to see it it's amazing the other cool thing about it is people that would down KISS for being shitty musicians kind of started coming around after that and going wow you know these songs are actually pretty damn good because it was a big deal a lot of people listen to Unplugged man what a great time to be a KISS fan for me it was I watched it live and videotaped and recorded it on my

43:46TV VHS combo do you remember those you're damn right we all recorded it and I was in my first college dorm room so I'll never forget that yeah and thankfully my roommate left for the night and I did fucking tear up when when they got when they all came out together I was like holy shit and also I would use Unplugged and I still to this day if it's somebody that's like oh they don't know how to fucking play their instruments I'll send them like a link to Unplugged and be like watch that yeah no like that was the

44:17only thing that was the only bittersweet part about the reunion for me was I was really gonna miss Bruce and Eric because I loved both of them and I love that musicianship that that lineup of four was next to the originals that was my favorite lineup yeah they should have just gave them makeup and brought them on tour with them that almost kind of happened well that thing on the end where they all jam together is amazing oh yeah that was cool so now

44:49I got a baby and we try a good way you know she wants to do it and she does it away and she can watch out

45:28for me You got, got, nothing to lose Don't you know, baby? You got, got, nothing to lose You got, you got, you got, you got nothing to lose

45:58All right, from there, let's jump back 40 years to 1986 Oh yeah, this is a great one right here It's the third full-length studio album from Metallica It's Master of Puppets Man, Metallica was an unstoppable boulder Rolling downhill towards a small village Since before they even released their first album

46:30They become more and more powerful as they go Master of Puppets is another huge step towards becoming metal's biggest band Easily the band's most iconic album cover It matches an equally iconic album This is Metallica getting serious Lars is taking drumming lessons Kirk's working out with Joe Satriani They knew they'd conquered the world of metal with Ride the Lightning But I think they wanted to conquer the world with this album

47:00Did you know that Geddy Lee was even considered to be the producer of this album? I did not know that Yeah, didn't work out timing-wise They planned on mixing the album themselves with the help of the producer, Fleming Rasmussen But they ran out of time So that ended up being a blessing Because the final mix ends up getting handled by Michael Wagner Who kills him? Is this Metallica's best album? It's kind of hard to argue against that It's their masterpiece The pun intended Yeah, it is their masterpiece

47:31Master of Puppets And I wish Michael had worked with them much more Because I love what he got out of them production-wise And Now, I don't know Some people would say the Black Album Those two albums are 1A and 1B to me As far as complete, perfectly produced, performed, written album I wouldn't change anything about either of those records Eh, I prefer Master of Puppets I go to it more But I have to forget about the burnout of the Black Album

48:04And just think of it objectively Like, it's fucking amazing too Yeah, it's true People always say the Black Album is like Eh, that's their pop album You know, that's where they They really started to change But then
