Episode 503-Metallica, Flemming Rasmussen, and Pure Mayhem!

This Week on America’s Podcast: Metallica, Flemming Rasmussen, and Pure Mayhem!

Buckle up, metalheads, because this week we welcome the mighty Favio Vegas to the show as we dive headfirst into the sonic chaos of Flemming Rasmussen’s legendary trilogy—the three Metallica albums that melted faces, shattered speakers, and arguably set a bar so high even Metallica themselves never quite climbed back over it. Yep, we’re talking about Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and …And Justice for All! Are these truly the best Metallica albums ever? Did the band peak in '88? And is Flemming Rasmussen the most underrated producer in metal history? We’ve got a lot to say, and we’re bringing the riffs to back it up! No more spoilers, you’ll just have to listen.

Tracks of the Week:

🎸 Jerry: Tangerine – Led Zeppelin (A mellow pick, but hey, even Vikings need to rest.)
⚡ Marc: High Speed Dirt – Megadeth (Skydiving at 120 mph? Sounds about right.)
🤘 Favio: Out of Sight, Out of Mind – Anthrax (For when you need a thrash therapy session.)
🔥 Mooger: Pick a Window – Flotsam and Jetsam (Or just smash through the wall instead!)

Until next time, keep it loud, keep it heavy, and whatever you do—don’t blast Metallica while driving alone… unless you enjoy explaining your speeding ticket to the judge.
