Saying Lulu "isn't canon in the Metallica discography" is actually a great way to put it lmao

"Kiss crossing with Van Halen"
He just described Glam Metal

St Anger perfectly encapsulates the state of the band at the time. Jason quit, James was dealing with alcoholism, the band almost fell apart.

I AM THE TABLE

The Terry Glaze part is hilarious. 😂😂

Imagine if Queen’s “a night at the opera” was “a night at the glaze chamber”

7:08 MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD-

I've always loved Risk. I'm not saying it's objectively good or great, I just personally really enjoy it.

I'm going to make a soft attempt to change your mind on St. Anger. The original album is not good, HOWEVER, I re-recorded it and the reception has been very positive. I cut 20 minutes from the album, that should be intriguing enough for you. 😂
Beneath all the BS, there actually is a good album. If you like bouncy riffs and breakdowns, then St. [b]Anger is a great alternative!

I truly love Iced Honey (from Lulu) main guitar riff, it is just great

1:43 Please don’t turn me into a dictator

The Blaze album mentioned is not bad at all.  Lightning Strikes Twice, The Clansman, Futureal, all are amazing songs.

'Lulu isnt canon' 😂

Blaze Bayley is a very good singer in his own right,  but just wasn’t a good fit for Iron Maiden. More importantly he’s seems to be a decent human being caring more about his band mates than his own career (at least based on what I’ve read/heard). IMO the things that killed “Virtual XI” and “X-Factor” were lackluster song writing and the band’s refusal to acknowledge that Blaze was fundamentally different singer than Bruce and adjust their style accordingly.

3:11 this is where the obsession began

That version of Risk is a remixed and remastered version, where Dave took all the industrial  influences out of the album, put back Marty's solos and Ellefson's bass, (which were removed from various songs) and ultimately turned it more into a hard rock album.

Totally agree about st anger. The problem isnt the production, the problem is the writing.

Risk is genuinely great imo, only song I can't stand listening to on that album is Crush Em tbh

Risk was great. Believe it or not, it was THE album that got me into Megadeth, specifically the song "Time: The Beginning". I love its lyrics, and it makes me think about my age/life whenever I listen to it.
