I like it good
The host has referred to himself as very interesting a few times, which seems arrogant until you realize that he’s right. Talented musician. His load box set episodes are excellent.
Just discovered the podcast so I’m working my way through the episodes and loving every minute! Thanks!
This guy is unbearable. I don’t even think he likes Metal at all. He goes on about Dave Matthews, Pearl Jam, and other lame bands on a show that’s support be about Metallica.
72,seconds in and you know that one of these bozos loves the sound of his voice so much he cannot stop talking. Talking about KissPsycho circus and not knowing that Ace and Peter had virtually nothing to do with that album. Lot of talk and zero knowledge.
The absolute self important bollox they call being astute is breathtaking in its lack of anything actually making sense.
