Summary

On this very special episode we chat with our pal Dan Kanter about all things Metallica. Dan is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, song-writer and music directer for some of the biggest acts in the world including Justin Bieber, Julia Michaels, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Logic and many more. Dan is a die-hard Metallica fan and tells us his story starting with discovering the Black Album all the way through standing in the Snake Pit at the Copenhagen show, hanging with Lars and meeting the boys several times along the road. We also get to hear about his journey through the music industry and his unique insight into Metallica from the perspective of someone who has played many of the same stadiums, the Grammy's, SNL and more. We also take questions from patrons and get into a super fun Metal Madness pitting Dan's two favorite Metallica records, Ride the Lightning and ...And Justice For All. Enjoy!
