“Downey explores all the little trails and overgrown pathways that Metallica lifers will LOVE. Interviews with the dudes who you’ll recognize from 80’s liner notes and songwriting credits. Just a rad knowledgeable trip through all the nooks and crannies that others wouldn’t even consider.”

“Such an entertaining show and not just for Metallica geeks! The in depth interviews and behind the scenes stores by some of hard rocks heaviest hitters are a real treat to listen to. I’d have given my left arm to have access to something like this in my 90’s era high school days.”
