Episode 366 - Metallica Plays Saudi Arabia

Clint talks with Thamer Altassan, a native of Saudi Arabia, all about the first ever Metallica gig in Riyadh. They discuss cultural differences, the changing social landscape of Saudi Arabia, why S&M is the best Metallica record, the music scene in that part of the world and of course the festival style setlist of Black Album heavy greatest hits.

Clint also talks about the passing of Torben Ulrich, what songs he'd like to see Metallica cover in the future, the significance of the Load/Reload era and gets a visit from the DMB police! Enjoy!
