Metallica: Some Kind of Monster Retrospective - Renegade Jukebox #46

July 08, 2024 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

Another Why We Love This Band episode? You know Nick and Mike wouldn't put something like this together for no reason. No, today, July 8th is the 20th anniversary of Metallica's documentary Some Kind Of Monster. And since they're talking about the biggest metal band of all time, they figured why not talk about their back catalog, the subject of this notorious documentary, St. Anger, and what happened afterwards.

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my co-host, the Super Saiyan Death Metal God! There are going to be a lot of important 20th anniversary milestones worth celebrating in 2024, in film, television, and music. This was one that Nick and I, two huge Metallica fans, couldn’t ignore! So without further ado, please tune into the podcast to hear the full discussion.



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us!

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.

Uh oh, Nick & Mike are entering controversial territory on this Jukebox episode. This time on The Trivium Retrospective, we look at the first Trivium album worth defending. The Crusade is a widely debated album. Is it just copying Metallica or is there legitimate merit to these songs? Or is it just people making shit up to hate on a band that got popular off a landmark classic album? Listen and find out.
