Metal Up Your Podcast - All Things Metallica

This episode has been talked about forever and is one of our most requested "Metallica-adjacent" topics. So we got together with our lovely friend Paul?! Moak at HQ3 to turn the masterpiece of Guns N Roses' Use Your Illusion double album into a single, 15 song barn burner. We then took those 15 songs and re-sequenced the album for the ultimate experience we are dubbing Unload Your Illusion.Which songs made the final cut? How were they sequenced? Did Clint quit the entire podcast in an infantile display of frustration? You'll have to listen to find out.

We normally celebrate our podcast anniversary with a massive party at The Cobra here in Nashville with members of the MUYP family from all over the world with gifts, trivia, raffles and long conversations deep into the night and early morning before Clint steals a burrito or two. This year we were unable to throw that party so we did the next best thing and heard from several of you from across the globe about your favorite memories of 2020.  We also look back at some of our favorite bits and characters and say goodbye to one of the more challenging years of our lives. We couldn't have gotten through it without you all out there and we look forward to seeing you all again in person soon. With love and gratitude. Peace and adios. If you think Metal Up Your Podcast has value, please consider taking a brief moment to leave a positive review and subscribe here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/metal-up-your-podcast-all-things-metallica/id1187775077You can further support the show by becoming a patron.
