Metallica, here they come, the kings of metal.

Oh, not burn!

This is Joan from Bucasa.

You're listening to a metal of your podcast.

You're listening to a metal of your podcast, I'm Ethan Luck.

And I'm Clint Wells.

This is episode 224, and we're going to go right back to a year-in-the-life series of Metallica.

Let's do two years.

Well, I think we've done this a few times.

I didn't check.

Maybe some of you met up your podcast students out there who've been doing your homework can tell us.

But in the more inactive years, we've just combined years. I think we combined 81 and 82 because they got the band started in October of 81.

So we did that this time, 2005, 2006, as predicted as we were going through the last year,

they were wrapping up this sort of normal, insanely busy record touring cycle and then you know it's pretty

normal after that to take a little bit of a break they started writing we're going to get into

all the things that happen uh they're going to start writing debuting some new songs 2005 was super

light 2006 starts to pick up a little bit and then i was kind of getting excited and jumping ahead

when we start jumping into uh death type stuff, it all fires back up again.

And that's a much more exciting record.

I think you and I will agree to camp out around.

And then right after that, Lulu?

I mean, and then Lulu.
