METAL UP YOUR PODCAST - All Things Metallica

You want more Hetfield? We'll give you more Hetfield. As our favorite member of Metallica, it's hard not to add a part 2. There's so much to say about James, someone might as well start a podcast about him. In this episode we talk about Hetfield Honey, Hot Rods, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Tattoos and more . We also read your top 5 Hetfield riffs and ours. Support the show via patreon at: ht...

Ooooh! Yeah heh-ah! For current Metallica members we've saved the best for last! Episode 39 is all about James Hetfield. James is a huge inspiration to us and easily one of the best songwriters of our time. We discuss his childhood, his early influences and attempt to unpack how important this man is to the band we all love so much. Let us know your thoughts and give us your top 5 Hetfield riffs b...

Do any of you remember what a badass performance this was? Metallica played the 1991 MTV VMA's along side Mariah Carey, Van Halen, Poison (Ugh) and many more. In our opinion, they dominated the stage that night. It was only a few weeks after the release of The Black Album and they were on fire with "Enter Sandman" as their first single. You could see the excitement and feel the energy th...

It's finally here! This week we're talking about one of Clint's favorite Metallica records...RELOAD! We talk the good, the bad, the weird and so much more. Originally intended to be a double album with Load, Reload stands on it's own as one of the great Metallica records. The guys had more time in the studio with this batch of songs and we think it shows. If you wrote this record off a long time a...

Quebec Magnetic is one of Metallica's finest live releases. Filmed over the course of two nights, Metallica gives us a Death Magnetic heavy setlist with some classics and a few deep cuts mixed in. The band is tight, energetic and rarely slows down. In this episode, we burn down the setlist, discuss different guitars the guys use and give you a preview of our upcoming Metallica covers EP, which you...

Robert is no stranger to Metallica these days, especially considering that he is now their longest running (crab walking) bass player. Replacing Newsted was a tough gig but has done it so well and brought his own flavor to the band. Robert is an insanely accomplished musician with an impressive resume in his past. We love Robert in Metallica and couldn't wait to give him the time he deserves! In t...

It's finally here! You've asked for it and we couldn't wait any longer. The 'And Justice For All' episode is already one of our favorites. We knock out a bunch of facts, a track by track breakdown, our thoughts on the musicianship, the lack of Jason's bass tracks and much more.

Take a trip with us to Denmark, as we discuss all things Lars! We get into so many things about our favorite (Recently Knighted) Danish friend. Without Sir Lars, there would be no Metallica. Who knows if the metal genre would have even taken off without Lars' help and we thank him for that. Love him or hate him, he is just as important to Metallica as James' songwriting. Let us know your thoughts...

You know you've thought about it. What if Metallica recorded a follow up to S&M? Well, we have too and we've got our fantasy setlists ready for you! Each of us have made our own 21 song setlist, in hopes that this will one day happen. Either way, be sure to send us your S&M fantasy setlist to metalupyourpodcastshow@gmail.com.

Let us know your thoughts at metalupyourpodcastshow@gmail.com If you get value from Metal Up Your Podcast , th...

It's Clint's turn to give us a run through of his journey from Nashville to the Snake Pit in St. Louis. A special thanks to our friend and listener, Brad Blazek, for making Clint's Metallica dreams come true. In this episode, we get to hear how Clint ended up 5 feet from Hetfield, soaking wet and having the time of his life seeing Metallica at Busch Stadium. If you get value from Metal Up Your Pod...

We've got our very first guest! This week, Paul Moak (Producer/Musician) joins us to discuss Bob Rock. Was Bob the best thing for Metallica? Did Bob help ruin Metallica? We're a fan of (almost) all the Bob Rock era records. If it weren't for Bob, we wouldn't have the near perfect solo on The Unforgiven, as well as other Metallica songs that are now classics. Thanks to Paul for giving us his insigh...

In this episode, we remember Chris Cornell. His death was a shock to the music community and to all of us. We've all been impacted by the music Chris left us with. Soundgarden, Temple Of The dog, Audioslave and his solo albums. Write us your thoughts about Chris at metalupyourpodcastshow@gmail.com. Peace to Chris and his family.

Here we go with Part 2! The glitz, the glamour and the hammered (Looking at you, Slash). A Year & A Half Pt. 2 is the touring cycle of the black album. We get to see the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous. Lars hanging with the creepy jail chick, underwear on coat hangers, "fucking sandwiches," a ton of great live performances and much much more. If you get value from Metal U...

This is Metallica's first time at having cameras surrounding them almost full time. Sure, we had 'Cliff Em All' to watch, but this is showing us what happens behind closed doors. Of course, behind those closed doors is what would become their biggest record to date, The Black Album. In this episode we run through the documentary and give our thoughts on things like their departure from the old sou...

May 1st, 1988. Metallica finished recording one of their classic albums, 'And Justice For All.' In this episode of Revisited, we discuss a bit of the release, production and impact of AJFA. We also dive a bit into 'Load' & 'Reload,' because on the same day in 1995, Metallica began work on what would be those records.
