MTV Icon: Metallica is almost 15 years old! This ill-fated series features the first television performance with Rob Trujillo, artists paying tribute to Metallica with some cool (and not so cool) covers, bizarre guest appearances, and a badass, unique medley from the boys ending with the debut of "Frantic." In this episode Clint and Ethan run through each performance, the presenters and...

In this episode we discuss Metallica news over the last month, The World Wired tour picking back up and we have our friend and patron of the show Blaketallica on for a segment called, "Metal Madness." Blake is the head of the Metclub chapter The Frayed Ends of Tennessee and has the distinguished honor of being the fan with the most Metallica tattoos (31)! We hear Blake's Metallica story...

Garage, Inc. is possibly the finest covers album to grace our ears! We love that the boys not only included covers they had done in the past, but also went into the studio with Bob Rock to record an entirely new collection of songs. Completed in only two weeks after the Poor Retouring Me tour, this is Metallica at one of their undisputed peaks. From classics like Die, Die My Darling and It's Elect...

If you own any Metallica merchandise chances are you own a Pushead design. From shirts like Harvester Of "Sorrow," "Damage Inc.," "Sad But True," and "Fixxxer," to home video releases like Cliff Em All and A Year And A Half all the way to the album artwork and logo for St. Anger, Pushead has designed more for Metallica than any other. The list is enormous an...

Thank you to everyone who has supported this podcast through our first year! To celebrate, we threw a "Metallica Night" at The Cobra, a local bar here in Nashville. We packed out the place with friends, new listeners, OG listeners and even had some folks play Metallica trivia and name that riff on stage. This episode is a run down of a lot of stuff that happened that night. For those tha...

It's been just over a year since 'Hardwired' was released. We thought it was time to give this album another episode and bring back everyone's favorite guest co-host, Paul Moak! We've had a year to absorb 'Hardwired' and our thoughts have evolved since last January when we released Part 1. What are your feelings about this album one year later?

We hope you enjoy this episode as much as the last. ZONE IT! Support the show via patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/metalupyourpodcast Leave us an iTunes review at: http...

It's Metallica's masterpiece film. Upon first viewing you're thinking..."what happened to my band?!" Over the years of us watching 'Some Kind Of Monster,' we realized that this was an era of the band that needed to happen and we're thankful that they let the cameras in on it. It's the lowest point in their career but it's what ultimately led them to get healthier, make great records and...

In this episode we tackle one of the greatest EP's ever made. Between Puppets and Justice Metallica decided to go into the studio and record five of the songs that most influenced them. Recorded in only six days, it's the first time we see the band as a loose rock n' roll garage band. Clint & Ethan review the EP, read fan mail and even introduce a new segment featuring our beloved Paw Paw. Ema...

If you wrote off Metallica in the mid to late 90's, 'Cunning Stunts' is a must watch. Not only do they make sure the old school fans are happy, they absolutely destroy the songs off of 'Load.' We both agree that Metallica was in their musical prime in this era. In this episode we burn through some facts and run through every track on this concert film/rom com...wait for it. Let us know your though...

It's finally here! Since day one people have emailed us asking for a St. Anger episode. Well, you got it.

What can we say about Tom Petty that hasn't already been said? Well, we don't know but we had to sit down and discuss this man's life. We have both been impacted by his music as writers, musicians and performers. Tom was easily one of the top songwriters of all time and we're forever thankful he shared his music with us for so long. Thank you, Tom. Support the show via patreon at: https://www.patr...

You want more Kirk Hammett? You got it! In this episode we cover a few more things we didn't get a chance to talk about last time. Mostly, Kirk's love of all things horror. From the Orion "crypt," to his book, to his current exhibit in Massachusetts. You know we love us some Kirk and had to record a part 2! Oh, there just might be a brand new segment in this one as well... Support the sh...

This was a nice surprise from Metallica in 2011. After playing each of these songs at the 30th anniversary shows, they gave us 'Beyond Magnetic.' Even though they were what was leftover from 'Death Magnetic,' these four songs could've easily been added to the album and we would've been happy about it. There's everything from classic Metallica, tempo changes, bold ideas, huge riffs to great lyrics....

We get on the phone with our new friend Michael Alago to discuss his incredible career in the music industry, from booking at the Ritz, to A&R at Elektra, his photography but most importantly, his life long love of music. Michael worked with such artists as White Zombie, Cyndi Lauper, Nina Simone, Tracy Chapman and of course, METALLICA! He signed Metallica to Elektra in 1984 and worked with th...
