'The Ultimate Metallica Show' – Playlist + Recap

Another weekend full of snow, another Sunday full of amazing football games.

I'll leave the snow talk to the weather people the sports commentary to Toucher and Rich, because another weekend also means another episode of The Ulitmate Metallica Show, and that's where I come in.

This past week, we celebrated the anniversary of the documentary premiere of Some Kind of Monster, we learned a lot through a pretty comprehensive interview with Jason Newsted, and we even traveled back in time to the '80s for an unforgettable concert with Metallica. So on Sunday night's show, we celebrated all of these things and more.
