We continue our 'A Year In the Life of Metallica' series by diving into 2001. This is arguably one of the most tumultuous and defining years the band has faced, beginning with the shocking departure of long time bass player Jason Newsted in January. Without a replacement, the band moved into the Presidio to start writing and recording what would ultimately become St. Anger. But those sessions were cut short when James Hetfield checked himself into rehab in June for alcohol and other addictions. The year ends with James finally returning home from rehab and with the future of Metallica uncertain. Other notable events this year include: - Lars as a celebrity guest on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - the release of the Playboy Interview - live collaborations with Corrosion of Conformity, Jerry Cantrell and Sammy Hagar - "The Call of Ktulu" wins a Grammy award - McFarlane releases the Justice era action figures - Metallica ad Napster settle their lawsuitIf you think Metal Up Your Podcast has value, please consider

Reclaimed Rust: The James Hetfield Collection is an exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California featuring 10 of Hetfield's custom cars as well as some unique Metallica gear and memorabilia. On January 30th, James attended the opening of the exhibit to sit for a "fireside chat" about his cars and Metallica. This was James' first public appearance since checking back into rehab in the fall of September 2019. On this episode we listen to the Hetfield interview as well as chat with friend and patron Edgar Barradas of California To Self-Destruct about the event itself, the cars, James Hetfield and the future of Metallica. Thanks to Edgar for providing the video and audio of the interview. Highlights include: - James remembering his dad working on cars - James learning to drive, his first car and the hot rod scene in Downey, CA - customizing his first car - joining the Beatniks Car Club and their influence - collaborating with builders like Rick Door and Scott Mumford - similarities between

Ray Burton, father of legendary Metallica bass player Cliff Burton, passed away on January 15th due to complications with pneumonia. He was 94 years old. Ray lived an incredibly long and fruitful life, keeping the memory and legacy of Cliff alive the entire time. Many of us got to meet Ray in our journeys to Metallica shows and he greeted every one with kindness and love. In this episode we, along with others including Metallica themselves, pay tribute to Ray Burton. We were lucky to have Ray on the podcast for our milestone 100th episode. He was as kind and generous as all the stories we heard, even sending us personalized letters after the interview. We are lucky to have called him a friend. We sure will miss him, as we're sure you all will too. We love you, Ray.

The Metallica community was saddened to hear Sunday evening that Ray Burton has passed away. As many of you know, Ray was the father of the late, great Cliff Burton, one of the most beloved and influential musicians in recent history. Since Cliff's passing in 1986, Ray Burton has been a spiritual fixture in the Metallica family. Supportive through the transitions of the two successors of Cliff's position in Metallica, Ray was often seen at shows meeting fans and cheering the band on. For our 100th episode, Ray was kind enough to grant us an interview, sharing with us details about Cliff as a child, the ascension of Metallica, Cliff's death and preserving his legacy through the years. Ray's passing is a deeply felt loss for many of us. He brought light to anyone who knew him and he will be missed. We love you Ray! Thank you for everything! Rest in peace, friend! On this episode we talk about James getting out of rehab and making his first public appearance at the Reclaimed Rust exhibit in Los Angeles later thi

In January of 2001, Jason Newsted quit Metallica. Of the many complicated reasons for the split, one of them centered around Newsted's side project, eclectic hard rock band, Echobrain. In this episode, we break down the formation of Echobrain starting all the way back to a super bowl in 1995 and on through recording at the Chophouse and old school, DIY touring. We listen to Echobrain's 2002 self titled debut with running commentary. We think you'll be surprised by our reaction.

In the fall of 2000, Playboy journalist Rob Tannenbaum sat down with each member of Metallica separately to profile the band after arguably one of their most divisive years. Coming off the heels of the Napster controversy and a nearly 6th month hiatus in which the band hardly saw one another, this would go down as one of the most raw, contentious interviews in Metallica history. By the time it was published in March of 2001, Jason Newsted had already quit the band and James was only a few short months away from checking himself into rehab. For the first time in their entire career, the future of Metallica was bleak and uncertain.In this episode we break down the notable parts of the interview, talk Echobrain and Newsted leaving Metallica, Hetfield's issues with control, alcohol and homophobia. We discuss Kirk's role as a mediator and find out why Lars became the spokesperson for what he calls "the fist major issue of the 21st century."If you think Metal Up Your Podcast has value, please consider taking a brie

In June of 1999, two college programmers launched a program that would go on to change the face of the entire music industry. Napster was the first mainstream program that allowed users to share and download mp3's on a centralized, user-friendly peer to peer network. Within months of launching, Napster had millions of users sharing and downloading tens of millions of songs all over the world.In March of 2000, Metallica learned that an unreleased and unmixed version of their forthcoming single, "I Disappear" had been leaked to radio stations all over America. The leak was traced to Napster where Metallica also learned their entire catalogue was available for free. This prompted an April lawsuit and a year of bad press for Metallica as they sought not only to shut Napster down, but also to start a public dialogue about the relationship between commerce, art, intellectual property and the delicate future of artistic control in a digital age.In 2002 Napster filed for bankruptcy and liquidated it's assets. But in
