Summary

In this episode we break down the Sabbath-heavy, lyrically mysterious closing track from Metallica’s Reload (1997). This has been one of Clint’s favorite songs since the record came out so the guitar is in his hands this time breaking down the riffs and sounds as we take a deep dive into what makes this song so damn awesome. We also discuss mental health, some interesting “what if’s,” Raymond Carver, the 40th anniversary shows and more Metallica shennigans with appearances by MegaDave, the Hulkster and our favorite carpet riding guru, The Outlaw Torben. Enjoy!

1:26.4	You as well. Yeah, there's about five and a half inches on my property right now. I did take the morning to not play
1:32.0	with my daughter in the snow so I could learn all these fucking guitar parts to fix her. But the good
