Hi, everybody, So a little behind the 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: scenes is you know? Sometimes you know, I get excited 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 2: about what song we're going to do, and I get 9 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: the part where Kevin doesn't know and I tell him 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: what it is.

Oh god, okay, and I think it's 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: a fun one for us. And it's a meaty topic. 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 3: Oh wow, meaty topic. 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: Okay, some kind of mons? 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: Dude? 21 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: Wait, is that what it is? 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, you guess it's some kind of Monster by Metallica. 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: It's Saint Anger. Oh is that not even the Actually 24 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: I haven't heard it in a while, so is this 25 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: not even. 26 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: The There is a song called some kind of Monster 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: The Monster Lives. I feel like he says that at 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 3: some point, and then there's a song called Saint Anger, which, 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: if I remember correctly, before we even get into it. 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: But this is all around the documentary some kind of monster, 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 3: which should be required viewing any chances out there who 32 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: haven't seen it, even if you don't care at all, 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 3: even if you don't even like music. I don't know 34 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 3: why you listen, how you'd get to us if you don't, 35 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: but it is really really really special and crazy, and 36 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: if if if it is Saint Anger, I think that 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: the before we listen. I'll just say my favorite thing 38 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: in the entire documentary is when Lars's dad do you 39 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: know what I'm about say? Lars plays his dad I 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 3: think it's this song. Well, we'll see what song we're 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 3: about to hear. He plays in one of the songs 42 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: from this record, and Lars's father, who was like a 43 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: Danish tennis player or something, he was like, so, what 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 3: would you do? You know, what do you think we 45 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: should do to make it? Is there something missing? And 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: his dad's like, what I would do is drag it 47 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 3: to the trash bin and press delete. 48 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: Wow, And Lars is like, oh fuck, thanks dad. Yeah, 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: so funny, Yeah. 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: You got a real window into what Lars is about. 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 3: From that interaction. You were like, Oh, this is why 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: you tried to shut down Napster so hard. 53 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: He's the real villain of that documentary and he doesn't 54 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: know it, which is so incredible. 55 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: I know he was a real villain, like turn of 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: the century music culture villain, for sure. There's so much 57 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: meat on the bone. We have it with three minutes in. 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: Chance or something like that. But the thing that got 59 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: me on this one and why I threw it on 60 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: my list is it's really I'm so excited to hear it. 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: But I'm madly in anger with you. 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: Oh it is Saint Anger. I'm madly in anger. 63 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: Oh I ca here we go with open minds. 64 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: Here we go, open minds. All right, here we go. 65 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 3: Oh my god. 66 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: Exhausting. 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: So what I would just say quickly, first thing. 68 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: Is wait, hold on, I accidentally replayed mine. Okay, sorry, 69 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: go on. 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: Before I get into anything else, what I would just 71 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: say is the first thing I sent Casey in the 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: chat when we press play was are we doing all 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: seven minutes and twenty seconds? And we did? 74 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: I did not. For the record, I played the music 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: video version, which was only five minutes and forty seconds, 76 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: which was too long. 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: They had the sense for the I love that the 78 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: radio edit is nearly six minutes long, five minutes forty 79 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: seconds long. Wow, that is a workout. 80 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: I want to I want to start with what we've 81 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: already been saying that it's it's exhausting, but I'm impressed 82 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: because these guys are not at the top of their game. 83 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: I mean, they might be financially, but like they're not 84 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: Spring Chickens at this point. When was this two. 85 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 3: Thousand, two thousand and one, two, something like that. 86 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: I'm guessing a little later. Let's see, I'm going to 87 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: say a two thousand and three three, So yeah, yeah, yeah, 88 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 2: you're right, You're right there. 89 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,239 Speaker 3: They've been a band for twenty years at this point, 90 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 3: and they're twelve years removed from their commercial apex at 91 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 3: this point, ten or twelve. 92 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: Years removed, but I think still very mainstream. Like this 93 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: album was platinum or diamond, I don't know, like it 94 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: would did very well. 95 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: By this point. They're an institution, Like I mean, I 96 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: think even poorly received and poorly commercially performing Metallica record 97 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 3: would still have a sold out arena tour attached to it. 98 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 3: They're like as big as a band playing guitar could be. 99 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 2: This point, So my point is like, this is an 100 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: impressive tune to pull off in just like from a 101 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: cardio level, especially for Lars, who I think between us 102 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: is probably he probably did a lot of takes to 103 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: get this performance. But it's like, I don't know how 104 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: often he does these like blast beats on their tunes, 105 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: Like he's not really known for it, and it's exhausting, 106 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: and it's a lot, and it's through the whole song, 107 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 2: and and so that would be that's both a chancey 108 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 2: and an anti chancy, and that it's I think this 109 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: song really drags, even though it's constant, Yeah, you know 110 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: this force of like, but it really in some ways 111 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: I feel like it's almost sluggish, even though I definitely 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: think it's all quantized, which is like. 113 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: Within an inch of its life. I think what's interesting 114 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: about it is if it was a third of the 115 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: length the song basically repeats itself three times in the 116 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: version I just listened to you, and if it was 117 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 3: like a third as long with all of the parts, 118 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 3: because there's like eleven parts, yeah, which I like. 119 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: I give that. I give that some some pause. 120 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: If it was a third as long, it would be 121 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 3: ten times more effective. The the baseline chancey is this 122 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: Metallica is in some ways like one of the most 123 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 3: punk rock I don't mean that in their metal in 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: their name, but they're one of the most punk rock 125 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: success stories sort of that that that exists, particularly in 126 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: the time they came to popularity. Like Metallica came out 127 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 3: and they were like an underground I think they came 128 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 3: from the Bay Area. I think that was where they 129 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 3: started playing, but like they were a hard touring no MTV, 130 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: no radio, and like for the first eight years of 131 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: the band, through all those records like Kill Them All, 132 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: Ride the Lightning and Justice for All Master Puppets, all 133 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: that stuff, it's like they really didn't move their sound 134 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: towards what was happening in like the Sunset Strip or 135 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: like they they definitely didn't like towards Motley Crue and Poison. 136 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 3: They actually went like the opposite direction and in cut 137 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: and in some ways like they defined what we even 138 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: think classic metal is. And so to me it's like 139 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: they're sort of regardless there are which is not the 140 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: point of this song that the actually it sort of 141 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: will become the point of the song. As our conversation evolves, 142 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: they do have some ridiculous moments in their history. Now 143 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: the arc of any band that's around the song probably will, 144 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: but they have some moments like the whole Reload thing 145 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: where they basically like try to become like a Lallapalooza 146 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: band and they cut their hair and they're wearing eyeliner. 147 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 3: There was like Load and Reload was like and now 148 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: is in like the mid nineties, bridging like grunge to 149 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: what becomes new metal. What's interesting to me, I don't 150 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: want to start in like six different directions. I'll come 151 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: back to this, but what I think all that stuff 152 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: when I was growing up, Like I remember seeing the 153 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 3: video for one their first music video, black and white, 154 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: like that them plane and like an airplane hangar in 155 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: the footage of Johnny gets Your Gun the guy who's 156 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: lost all his limbs and an explosion in a war, 157 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: and I was like, I remember, I don't I hope 158 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: he's not embarrassed that I share this. But my younger 159 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: brother Dan, we were kids, we would watch MTV and 160 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: we would also be allowed to like order one video 161 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: each sometimes from the box, which was this service you 162 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 3: could like order it was like three dollars for three videos, 163 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 3: and you could like request whatever videos you wanted to watch. 164 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 3: It was kind of a cool user interface thing, pre 165 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: internet thing on a local cable in Brooklyn. And I 166 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: remember watching the video for one and we were like scared, 167 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: Like we were both authentically scared. It was like watching 168 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: like a Freddy Krueger movie or something. We were like 169 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: really scared, Like he was like upset, you know. So 170 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: that the reason I bring those things up is to say, like, 171 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: Dan's a fucking coward. No, the reason we stuff is 172 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 3: to say they were like kind of in the context 173 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: of popular culture and you know, multinational record industry and 174 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: the rest of it, pretty punk. Pretty punk. They were 175 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: like dudes wearing like black jeans, black T shirts just 176 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: getting up and like playing this blistering music that was 177 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 3: about like death and nightmares and whatever else. 178 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: They crossed that over. That was probably a movement, and 179 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 2: they they are the face that crossed that into mainstream 180 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: without question. 181 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: And they also managed to be like the they are 182 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 3: also a lot of that music is pretty fucking great, 183 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: Like it's pretty bracing. I'm not like the most scholarly 184 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 3: or I wouldn't they claim to being the biggest Metallica fan. 185 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: There are definitely people in my life that are way, 186 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: way way more with that, but I definitely know like 187 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: it's kind of undeniable. And then even with the Black album, 188 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 3: when they do do the MTV thing more robustly and 189 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 3: it becomes a diamond selling giant stadium, even that, it's 190 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: just like they took the formula and like. 191 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: Slowed it down. 192 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: It's still like heavy, brooding, intense, and it just they 193 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: kind of like managed to turn into their own weird 194 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: version of pop music. And that's all of that is 195 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 3: the baseline for which Metallica always gets a chancey because 196 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: they sort of like they kind of semi invented a thing, 197 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: and at worst they crossed over a thing sort of 198 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: on their own terms that was in the context in 199 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 3: which it existed profoundly not mainstream. That being said, and 200 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: I'll connect that to the song and then I'll turn 201 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: it over because I've been talking too long. This was 202 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: beautiful about cook Chef cook about this song. Actually, why 203 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: did just briefly say something? We opened about Lingo and generations. 204 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: I'm forty four. We opened for the front Bottoms on 205 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: tour last year, most recently a short tour out to 206 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: the West Coast, and after one of the shows, I 207 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: would go to the merch table and sell merchant and 208 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: hang out. And there was these kids at these shows, 209 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: like fifteen year old kids. And this kid came up 210 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 3: to me in Kansas City and was like when you 211 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 3: came out, I was like, who's this old dad? But 212 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: then you played and I was like, damn, he's eating 213 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: right now. That dude just ate and I was like, 214 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: I didn't really eat like I was like usually after 215 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: the show because I don't want to get like sick 216 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 3: er stitches in my tomue tum anyway. So the the 217 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: But that's just to say nothing about the song. The 218 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: thing about the song that's kind of cool is when 219 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: it starts, you're reminded of everything we just talked about. 220 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: There's like different there's parts of this song where you're like, 221 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 3: all right, Metallic of rules, this is just like blistering 222 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 3: stampede of like crazy, you know, muted, like he's like 223 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: choking the symbol, and yeah, riff riff after riff after 224 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: riff after riff, You're like, oh yeah, right, like nuclear assault. 225 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: Metallica is all about like just like the best ship 226 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 3: by them is like scorched Earth. 227 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 2: I agree, And in fact Headfeel's voice is like the 228 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: same as it was in a lot of ways. It's 229 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: just in the past. They soaked all of this in 230 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: reverb and this is dry, Like his vocal is super dry, 231 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 2: and I think they're going for that and. 232 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: We'll get to this, We'll get to the fish its 233 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: own section. 234 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, but finish your ear yet. That's it. 235 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: That's it. It's just it is. It has all the 236 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: hallmarks of that. Maybe we could transition into we can 237 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 3: waffle back and forth. There's no rules between chance and 238 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: anti chance. You are also aware from the very beginning, 239 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 3: whether you are even in touch with this awareness or not. 240 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: I bet somebody who knows nothing about anything we're talking 241 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: about would hear this and there would be a moment 242 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 3: where the beg kind of sounds crazy, and not just 243 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: like the riffage, I mean like the sound you're like, 244 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: it kind of sounds crazy, and the snare drum sound is, 245 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 3: let's get into it, canonically catastrophically terrible. It's like something 246 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 3: that if you were in like a Reddit forum about Metallica, 247 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: I promise you there is a seven hundred page thread 248 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: about the snare drum sound on this record and this song. 249 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 3: It's the thing people talk about who are like aware 250 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: of their band. What the fuck the choice was to 251 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: make that the snare drum sound for this whole record 252 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: is so crazy to me. It sounds like it's so 253 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: abrasive and such a like distancing agent from the music. 254 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 3: Every time he hits it, I'm like, ugh. 255 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: My speculation is that I think Lars is maybe King Herb, 256 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 2: and he's a King Herb, and I think he really 257 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 2: needs to stand out and like hear his voice, like 258 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: even in that documentary, he's always like sitting on a 259 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 2: table with like crossed legs, like he's always doing something extra, 260 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: as the kids say, And this is that this is 261 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 2: his embodiment of like how can I stay? How can 262 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: I like put myself into this? And it's always to 263 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: the detriment in my opinion of like the music, like 264 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: or or to the environment or in the documentary you 265 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: see like in the environment, or even like the napster thing. 266 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: The napster thing is crazy because he's like it's the 267 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: thing that gets brought up. He says, like he's like 268 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 2: every time that my name comes up. It's the Napster 269 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: thing even to this day, which is insane amazing, but 270 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: it's it's that's the same thing. It's like he went 271 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: all in. He made a big swing on the snare 272 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: or on Napster or in these arguments he made. 273 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: Hating James Hetfield apparently, like seemingly in that documentary, you're 274 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: just like you really, yeah, it's he's he's rough. He 275 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: seems rough. 276 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: He's a barnacle. That's like on this band. That's like, 277 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: you know, it's like is it part of the ship 278 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: if it's been there forever? But it's but yeah, the 279 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 2: Napster thing was great. Remember how Sean Parker wore that 280 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: Metallica hat when he like came out at the VMA's. 281 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: I do that's like critical? Uh you know gen X 282 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: millennial CUSP content was like, yeah, I was.

I think I was 285 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: closer videos was watching it going getting idea. 286 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: Let me descrate this. 287 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: Head spinning around when you're talking about music videos. I 288 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: was definitely thinking that one. That one was scary, Like I. 289 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: Whole thing was. I was a little older by then. 290 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: I actually feel like if I was to watch some 291 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 3: of there's apparently like unedited or different edits of that 292 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: nine inch nowl stuff that's intentionally way more like stuff 293 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 3: that would have never been showed on TV as like 294 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 3: flirting with like kind of like approximating like snuff films 295 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: like esque things, and you're like there's something about that 296 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: that's so funny that I'm like, I'm all, I'm like, wow, 297 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: that's you know, I really get it, like pushing and 298 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: the outer limits of a particular kind of psychology.

That was racing 334 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 3: and like now it's the famous thing where they lose 335 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 3: the Metal Grammy to Jethrow Toll. 336 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't even remember this. 337 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 3: It's a big, like funny thing because it was like 338 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: Jethrow Toll's like they have a flute, you know. It's 339 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: like not a metal band at all. And they were 340 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 3: like a band from twenty years whatever. It was a 341 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 3: classic Grammys thing where they rewards something from twenty years earlier, 342 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: where it's like Denzel gets it for training day because 343 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: he should have gotten it from Malcolm X, but they 344 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: gave it to somebody else, you know whatever. Anyway, gotcha. 345 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: But like there's this they really were like they weren't 346 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: Axel Rose, they weren't Michael Jackson, they weren't like, you know, 347 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: Cindy Lauper. They weren't Debbie gibbson whatever was like happening. 348 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: But they weren't like also like these sons of strip 349 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: bands with the teased hair and whatever. They were something 350 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: very different to that. They also couldn't really call them 351 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: a punk band because no punk bands were operating at 352 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 3: that level of commercialism, and because a punk band would 353 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 3: have made the same to anger one third as long. 354 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: They would have thrashed through all of those parts and 355 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: they would have been like songs over after two minutes. 356 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: Right. 357 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: But you know metal's thing, one of its things is 358 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: it's like excesses arrangement wise or whatever, epic long yeah, yeah, 359 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: and it starts with what you started with. It's also 360 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: meant to be Maybe this is another way in which 361 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 3: they're meant to stand out, or he's meant to stand out. 362 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: It's supposed to be something you're like, Wow, you marvel 363 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 3: at the dexterity of how Lars can be playing blast beats. 364 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: For the other thing is every drummer I know, for 365 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 3: what it's worth is like Lars sucks. 366 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: Yes, it's really crazy. Like I watch sometimes like these 367 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: like memes online of things, and there's a guy that 368 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: I really do like. He adds Lars esque drums to 369 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: like other songs, and I've seen that he's so good 370 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 2: at it, and it really feels like Lars and he 371 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 2: makes faces like Lars. Yes, it's like of like TikTok 372 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: e Instagram videos. It's a section I really like. 373 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: It's really so clearly done. The research that's what's great 374 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: about it? 375 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: He must be a fan actually even though he's making 376 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 2: fun of it, but like he to listen to it 377 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 2: so much, or actually they're a really interesting band that 378 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 2: I think people who love Metallica can hate Lars and 379 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 2: still love Metallica. 380 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: I think there's people who, in fact, you're right, and 381 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 3: I think that there's people who it's like Neil Young 382 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 3: or something. There are people who like Neil Young's their guy, 383 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 3: but one of the baseline things is that they're like, 384 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm saying bassline a lot in this episode. 385 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 3: One of the fundamental of being a serious Neil Young 386 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 3: fan is that you have to concede that there is 387 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 3: just a bunch of absolute garbage in there as well. 388 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 3: The heights are arguably unmatched in some way in in 389 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 3: his genre. And you hear a Neil Young song and 390 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 3: inside of three seconds you know it's a Neil Young song. 391 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 3: The way he plays the guitar, the way he sings it. 392 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: It's But also there's like whole records that you're like, 393 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: I can't fuck with that at all. And I think 394 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: there are Metallica fans who feel that way about various 395 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 3: segments of Metallica's recorded output. But I think is also 396 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: interesting about this song though, is that it reflects. It's 397 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: one of those moments, which I think we've talked about 398 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 3: at some point before. I feel like we have one 399 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 3: of those moments where a genre defining band, in the 400 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 3: fitful exercise of trying to maintain its relevance and stature, 401 00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: starts to reflect the things it influenced to some degree. 402 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: Oooh okay, oh yeah, let me get that straight. Yeah, 403 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: So you're saying that, like, this band that influence all 404 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 2: these bands is now referencing bands that it influenced. 405 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: Exactly and what so specifically for me in this song 406 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: the choices you talked about about the snare sound and 407 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: the totally dry vocal thing that's actually I think meant 408 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: to be a kind of There's two things that are 409 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: happening at the same time. One is, and I'll finish 410 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 3: the thing about what I just said, it's it's related though. 411 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 3: One is they're mistaking I think this one subjective what 412 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: they're making. A mistake that is built around this is 413 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 3: going to be a return to form. We're going back 414 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 3: to like our roots. It's like they make this mistake 415 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 3: and assumption that like in making these certain sonic choices, 416 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 3: they're like going back to their roots. Like it's like 417 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 3: we're gonna go and it's gonna be no reverb on anything. 418 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 3: It's just going to be like super serrated and nasty, 419 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 3: and we're in fact we're going to use this like 420 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 3: crazy pinging snare sound. It's just gonna be so abrasive 421 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 3: and and then so doing. Actually it's just like doesn't 422 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: really sound like them or like anything you really want 423 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: to hear. Actually, and for all of James Hetfield's strengths 424 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 3: as a vocalist, I don't know that you really need 425 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 3: his voice laid that there. It's not like it's like, 426 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: I don't know, such a pure instrument that you're like, oh, 427 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: it's like hearing Sam Cook without any anything, any adornment, 428 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: or Marvin Gay or something. But I think that what 429 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 3: the moments where you hear the influence of the things 430 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:40,119 Speaker 3: they helped influence the verses that sane, anger, reck whatever. 431 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 3: It's like clean tone, arpeggiation, halftime that's straight up like 432 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: heart shaped box lithium that kind of like that kind 433 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 3: of like grunge, alternative rock, slow it down, clean it up. 434 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 3: Even the vocal melody and the way it's like repeat. 435 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 3: It's this kind of very repetitive and then when they 436 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 3: step on the pedal, things get loud. Hallmark of all 437 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: that loud soft loud thing. They go new metal with 438 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 3: it with the person. 439 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: You push it. 440 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 3: Out, you push it out. It's like some system of 441 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 3: a down limb biscuit thing. That to me is maybe 442 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 3: my biggest issue with it. It doesn't feel like motel. 443 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: No chance there, no yeah, perfect, no chance. 444 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: There t shirts made, no chance there, no chance there. 445 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 4: Smush it out. 446 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: You smush it out, it says on the back. Also 447 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 2: you to smush it out. Yeah, blush it out. 448 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: But I rush it out and slush it out. 449 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: But no, that is so true. That is so new metal, 450 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 2: and it doesn't fit them at all. But it's interesting. 451 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 2: I watched the video. They have the new bassist who 452 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 2: feels very new metal. That guy I forget his. 453 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 3: Robert Trujillo or something. Yeah, yeah, he came from suicidal tendencies. 454 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 3: I think, yes, that's right, that's right. 455 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, But he feels the most new metal of the band, 456 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 2: and they do that. 457 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: Weird crab walk thing. Yeah, he like plays the bass 458 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 3: at his feet and he's like doing it. 459 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: Yay, especially to go from Jason Newstead right from him. 460 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 3: For Jason Newst, I do seem like a nice guy. Basically, 461 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: they told they like mixed the bass out of Injustice 462 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 3: for All, the first album he plays bass on after 463 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 3: Cliff Burton dies, and it's to this day it's still 464 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 3: this thing where he's like, I can't really hear anything 465 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 3: I'm doing on that record. And that record also sounds 466 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 3: crazy because it's all metal riffs, thrash, you drumming, and 467 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 3: you're like, is there bass guitar on any of this? 468 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 3: Like what is this anyway? Yeah? 469 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: Wild? So yeah, that's so that You're right, that is 470 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: so new metal. I think there's all There's like some 471 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: other moments too that I think that that tone that 472 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: you're mentioning that is also sort of Nirvana is also 473 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 2: like I kept thinking, like pod or like these other 474 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 2: bands really like have this, like I have this sort 475 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 2: of dryness to the even even I even wrote down 476 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,719 Speaker 2: Rage against the Machine, especially like their later stuff like 477 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: their their their records that came out early two thousands, 478 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 2: like I think that, and I actually I think that's 479 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: more of an engineer and producer choice. I think it's 480 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 2: more of his choice than you know, to keep it 481 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 2: so that w and I get it, because when you're 482 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: listening to the radio and it's corn and it's limp 483 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: biscuit to drop in the quintessential old school metallica sound 484 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 2: will feel like a throwback, whereas you want people to 485 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: know this is new and we wanted to it, want 486 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 2: it should feel. I can understand him thinking it should feel, 487 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: you know, contemporary, and I can understand why you would 488 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: make that choice. But within that I think you tweak. 489 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: I think you put a little bit of reverb on 490 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,239 Speaker 2: the vocals something. Yeah, I think the whole thing that 491 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 2: you're you're touching on there is actually like a really 492 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: fertile subject in general about entertainment industry period, and. 493 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: You see it. Maybe you see it in music most clearly. 494 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: It's slightly different than like maybe the arc for certain 495 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 3: actors or like people who make things in other very 496 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 3: highly visible entertainment mediums and music. The zeitgeist moves so 497 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: fast that when someone is perceptibly moving after it, like 498 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 3: trying to stay in relevance, and they're like, you know, 499 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: kind of aging out of that, it's really like you're like, oh, 500 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: I see you, I see you. You're trying to like 501 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 3: it's like the Steve b Shemy meme, like of the 502 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 3: Hello fellow kids, and he's like, you know, Steve BUCHEMI 503 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 3: and like backwards hat and whatever.

Because with that, with 508 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: you know, without like what the radio was, especially at 509 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: this time and throughout the radio on to turn the 510 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: radio up, that's my favorite Metallica song. When this was 511 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 2: the the main thing was to get on the radio 512 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: and to fit in with the radio. People were trying 513 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: to fit in with the radio.

And I think it does still exist, 567 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: and it does still but I think the what's it 568 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: called the platforms and the oh there's a word I'm 569 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 3: looking for for like what they're programming, what style, what 570 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: genre or whatever, what each of these stations represents. I 571 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: do think terrestrial radio is like in a lot of 572 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: ways diminished. I think for people like me, even for 573 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 3: people like the National Right who sell out like Madison 574 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 3: Square Garden, they don't think they're going to get on 575 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: the radio, you know what I mean, Like they're not 576 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 3: even thinking about that. They would get on WFUV and 577 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: k XP and all of that, k w K, KCRW, 578 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 3: that whole triple A thing. But like the radio that 579 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: we're talking about, that's not a place like almost anybody, 580 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 3: most anybody that's not like an upper upper percent pop artist. 581 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: Really it's really interesting because but it has I don't know, 582 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: it's it has helped like talk like like the personalities 583 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: on the radio. Yes, I mean they have always been, 584 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: but you know even more so now like you see 585 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: these these kind of like each one has their own crew. 586 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: Obviously we have, you know, we're under the Elvis Duran 587 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: umbrella and that's that's our crew that's our that's our 588 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: Z Morning crew. 589 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 3: That's right, and that's what we grew up with.

I like 690 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 2: lots of pulp, yes with metal, and this song gives 691 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 2: me a lot of that. 692 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 3: A lot of pulp in it, no doubt. 693 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 2: It's there's a lot of moments that remind me of 694 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 2: like what I like about metal. It's heavy, and it's 695 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 2: like it really does sometimes push you, like I bet 696 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 2: you it's a great song to like work out to 697 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 2: or like totally you know, but like as like a 698 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 2: person who likes how songs are written and like likes 699 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 2: to not you know, tip my hat to that. I 700 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 2: I can't. It's hard from it aside from the fact 701 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 2: that there are all these different parts. But the problem 702 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 2: with is it is that they do those parts so 703 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,479 Speaker 2: much it all feels like the same part they do. 704 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 3: They literally just repeat the song in full three times 705 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 3: and then there's some other stuff that happens too. That's 706 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 3: too much. And I will say it's great to have 707 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of interesting parts. They are capable of that. 708 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 3: They're compelling. They know how to construct their world very compellingly. 709 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 3: But when the change happened from the thrashiness of the 710 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 3: first two minutes to the first sung verse where we're 711 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 3: in that like heart shaped box slash aerials or whatever place, 712 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 3: I laughed out loud. I'd forgotten that. That's I was like, 713 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: the transition is so abrupt and so crazy, and then 714 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 3: his voice comes in and it's like he's like right here. 715 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 3: It was just like I actually thought it was legitimately funny. 716 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,760 Speaker 3: So look, I think we have appropriately excavated Saint Anger, 717 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 3: and I think we've both we've given it plenty of chance, 718 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 3: and also we've called it like we see it. There's 719 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 3: a lot of bullshit going on here too, doggy, I know, arf. 720 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 2: I just I remembered that part in Give Me a Few, 721 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 2: will Give Me Fire get made, which is I think 722 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 2: they I like that song. I actually like that song, 723 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: and it does the same thing where it's like you 724 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 2: is pumped it engine. It's that same breakdown, but that 725 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 2: I think they they I think they stomped the landing 726 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 2: on that. Re Listen to that because I think that's 727 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 2: I know that that was a departure for them. They 728 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,479 Speaker 2: lost a lot of fans from the heavy metal era 729 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,399 Speaker 2: to the alternative. But I think I want to listen 730 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 2: to Fuel after this. I'm you know, you kind of 731 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 2: you you lit the Metallica candle for me again by 732 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: like kind of talking about their their backstory and how 733 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 2: that they sort of are a punk rock story. 734 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 3: They certainly were. They certainly were, and I think it. 735 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 2: Just made me give them a chance. 736 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 3: I think Metallica there's a lot to be said for it. 737 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 3: Lars is a tough sell. Lars seems to be a 738 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 3: god tear herb and you know, that's tough price of entry. 739 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 3: But Ah and James kind of look, there's herbaceousness abounds 740 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:05,720 Speaker 3: in the band. 741 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,839 Speaker 2: But I think he's actually really charismatic too. 742 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 3: She was like and he seems like she's also very 743 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 3: sent There's like a lot of sensitivity going on in 744 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 3: there actually, which kind of sometimes I get why Lars 745 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 3: is like, oh my god, but also Lars is kind 746 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 3: of like that just seems kind of like I would 747 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 3: take it to the garbage, kind of delete it. You know. 748 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 2: That's regardless, that's what that's his past. 749 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's Lars's past. 750 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 2: That's his influence.
