You might have heard that the Talica boys were going to play some heavy shit tonight. Welcome to Metal Up Your Podcast, I'm Ethan Luck, and this is another episode of Metal

Tales from the Road.

And on the phone from Canada, we have our good friend,

a long-time listener, Alan Faddle. How are you doing, buddy? I am doing great. How are you doing?

Dude, I'm doing very well. It's just me here at HQ1 by myself, by my lonesome. But yeah,

man, we are very appreciative of you taking the time out of your day up in Canada to talk about some Metallica, talk about Saskatoon, and a little bit of your story.

Yeah, no, thank you for having me on. I appreciate it.

Thank you, yeah, man. And, of course, we can't thank you enough for supporting the show, listening every week.

Man, it's pretty awesome. So you've pretty much enough for supporting the show, listening every week. Man, it's

pretty awesome. So you've, you've pretty much been listening to the show since the first month.

Yeah, yeah, I actually, I was doing renovations of my wife's business, and I'd been listening

to the albums, like, straight from, like, I'm like, I'm just going to listen to each album straight through.

I haven't done that in a while. And then I blasted through all the albums. And, and then I'm like, oh, you know, I need to find something else to listen to. I listen to some podcasts. I'm like, wonder if there's any Metallica stuff. And boom, I fell on your podcast. And it was awesome. It just,

there was, yeah, the first three or four episodes were out, I think you dropped. Yeah.

And just listened to them straight through. And I've been listening ever since. It's such a,

a great show. It's so nice to, you know, just have the community and feel like there's other

people out there that

are as crazy as me about Metallica.

I know.

It's weird, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's one of those things like, you know, we've talked about it on the show a bunch
