Summary
Joining Lars, James, and Kirk is bassist Robert Trujillo, who climbed aboard Team Ugly full force. They step back to look at why and how The Black Album became one of the best-selling albums of all time – and how the remastered deluxe edition and the breadth of The Metallica Blacklist make it even more powerful today. What comes next? Suffice to say, the band is not looking back. The red carpet guest list includes: Bob Rock, Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, Jon Pardi, Ross Halfin, David Fricke, Laina Dawes, Ann Powers, Gregg Steele Heppner, plus many more.
