The Rock Pod / Metallica: Ride The Lightning, Rule The World

From dingy garages to the biggest stadiums on Earth—Metallica’s story is a mix of speed, tragedy, controversy, and sheer metal glory. In this episode of The Rock Pod, Jimmy takes you through the band’s epic journey: the raw thrash of Kill ’Em All, the technical mastery of Master of Puppets, the heartbreak of losing Cliff Burton, the mainstream takeover with The Black Album, and the wild twists of haircuts, lawsuits, and therapy sessions.

Packed with backstories, studio fights, road chaos, and some of the heaviest riffs ever recorded—this is the definitive ride through the life and legacy of the band that changed heavy metal forever.

Metal up your ass—and press play.
