Albums I blind-bought that way: Consolidated's Friendly Fa$cism and
Cradle of Filth's Cruelty and the Beast. Ah, the 90s.

I found NOFX songs were good 'end of the cassette' fillers for the most part.

Wow, it just clicked for me that the song on BloodSugarSexMagik is a Robert Johnson song. Of course it is!

That must be a very hard thing to reconcile.

His first album (before that one) is actually really good. The second one he got Timbaland on board and…yecchh.

Come on, I like the other guys in Soundgarden too, but there's no way that anyone who likes Soundgarden doesn't like Cornell. He's all over everything.

But Season 4 is the most heartbreaking of them all!

So you quit the show with one more episode to go?

How did this not manage to stick to them?

Thank you for this. Love how the CNN anchor doesn't even engage him.

Don't forget being bonded by heavy metal (blood).

Metallica are one of those bands that metalheads love but, member by member, they hate every single element except James' rhythm playing.

No, you're right. In the doco, Jason says James told him he couldn't be in another band (Echobelly?). That, plus a lot of shit built up over all the years and the presence of Phil Towle, directly precipitated him leaving the band.

I think after what happened with Jason they probably relaxed that stance.

I'm not really sure how Foo Fighters isn't already 'Dave Grohl's solo work' for the most part anyway.

Martin Lopez is incredible and doesn't get enough credit. For a band as technical as Opeth could be, he was able to give things a groove and swing as well as being brutal at the same time. Case in point: the outro to Deliverance.

If James Hetfield riding around on that little bike thing with the flames on it in Some Kind of Monster isn't a sign of perpetual adolescence and arrested development, I don't know what is.

Yeah, but not every band can be or wants to be Slayer, who very consistently released basically the same album year after year (yes, there are major differences between Slayer albums but I'm talking about in comparison to Metallica). Metallica released two or three of the greatest thrash metal albums ever and then…

And those other players have been allowed — and inclined — to expand their range and influences by playing with other projects. James and Lars are/were like the 'He-Man Side-Projects Hatin' Club'.

Jason was such an evangelist for Metallica too; he always stood up for the band ("You're damn right we sold out — every night!") and they treated him like he was still a rookie. In the film, I think it's Bob Rock who says "I think this is a band that will never have a permanent bass player". Jason was in the band for…
