In the latest episode of the official Metallica Podcast, hosts Stephan and Renee are joined by three essential voices in American Thrash metal history. KJ Doughton, Brian Lew and Ron Quintana all feature on the latest episode, giving their unique takes on the birth of American Thrash Metal, specific to Metallica history. All of the guests have intimate knowledge of the band and their crew, comment on the early days in the Bay Area Thrash scene and shine a light on fanzines, tape traders, the early pre-San Francisco days, and the lifeblood of any scene, the fans themselves. Did you know Metallica was almost called Red Vette? We didn’t either! Listen to the pod here!
