Metallica, here they come, the kings of metal! On I burn

You are listening to Mell Up

Your podcast

With your host, Clint Well

All things in top.

You reach the end of the line.

All right. Well, we're here with my good friend, Thomas Quay. Is Tom short for Thomas? You got a Thomas? I believe it is. I believe it is. I prefer Tom, but yeah, it's great to be back here on Metal at your podcast, man. Yeah, it's good to see you. Last time I saw you, it would have been, what two a year ago in Manchester was it in

Manchester yeah it was actually because I've met you a few times when you've been

over with Morgan I think it was like the third time actually because it was there were

Albert Hall and then yeah and then it's it's crazy how far you've come so I remember

it was like 2022 when you over here you you play like Manchester Academy, which, you know, is your classic like uni guild sort of vibe. So yeah, yeah, yeah, man, it's been, it's been, it's been a little while and I've got to be honest, you know, I still listen to Manalika. I became a bit of a runner in the last few years and they're on the podcast a lot. And Luxetana has a recent place in my heart, that song in particular, I think, is a masterpiece. But I've been a little out of the loop. I'm not going to lie. People will have remembered that you did the only other Metallica podcast that I ever really listened to was yours, where you went through each song, Alpha-Batalically, and you had a get, I mean, amazing, it's amazing to me that you had the guest on for every show, because sometimes it's hard to wrangle a guest, and then you don't know if they're going to be good at talking, and then you just never know. So you did that for every song. And then you did other, like, little series.

So I think everyone remembers off of Battalica. And I think everyone, a lot of metal

up your pockets, people loved it. Yeah, no. And there was the cross-pollination between us,

you know, there was a lot of guests that were on both. And I was definitely inspired by you

guys. And yeah, as you say, it was, it was before 72 seasons actually came out.

So I did come back and mostly cover that as well.

But yeah, it was up to hardwired.

So it was essentially the podcast started in early 2017.

It made that it's like April 2017.

It was a fun time.

I think there was like 15 countries were covered on there. It was just a very fun project, you know.

Had you done any podcasting before that?
