Special thanks to friends and listeners Lizzie and Hayden for submitting the Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire episode as their Fan Favorite, and sharing insights for the new introduction. In addition, Ashley also weighs in on the conspiracy theory explored in “Forbidden Fruit: Sin City's Underworld and the Supper Club Inferno,” a book mentioned in the episode.  (Originally aired 9/19/2023) It's the 3rd deadliest nightclub fire in US history and the reason you see a maximum capacity sign posted in every restaurant and bar you enter. Yet many have never heard of the horrific fire that ravaged the Beverly Hills Supper Club in May of 1977,  killing 165 people and injuring 200.  Known as the “Showplace of the Midwest,” the opulent, sprawling facility located in Southgate, Kentucky, not only offered event space, but also boasted wildly popular Vegas-style performers and acts.  The evening of May 28, 1977, approximately 1200 people crowded into the cabaret room to see the legendary performer John Davidson, never dreaming their night would end in a nightmare of flames and toxic fumes.  Join us as we revisit not only the circumstances behind the tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire, but also the impact it had on fire safety codes and the mystery that still lingers.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.  Caution: This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence.

Composer Jerry Herman (Composer and lyricist; born July 10, 1931, in New York City) It only takes a moment to realize that Broadway's Golden Age is alive and well and thriving as long as Jerry Herman's around. "When they passed out talent," the legendary Carol Channing has said, "Jerry stood in line twice." Almost single-handedly, the creator of Milk and Honey, Hello, Dolly!, Mame, La Cage aux Folles and so much more has revitalized and nourished the all-American tradition of great and unstoppable show tunes. His music and lyrics have kept audiences tapping their feet, humming along, and wiping their eyes with tears of joy for generations. Even as often he's been underrated as being too easy to like in a world of dark and foreboding musicals, too entertaining, too tuneful and much too upbeat, the genius of Herman's deceptively simple songs cuts through any shortsighted criticism. "Jerry has succeeded so well in his mission that people don't give him credit," said Michael Feinstein, "because to be simple without being cliche is nearly impossible." Herman's genius, in truth, is not so much simple as it is subtle. For all his cock-eyed optimism-and very much in the tradition of his forefathers Rodgers and Hammerstein-a Herman musical always carries a message of timeless values, of humanity's triumph over hatred and ignorance, of happiness over despair. 1983's La Cage aux Folles, a smash hit on Broadway and a Tony Award winner in all three of its Broadway productions-and counting-is not only a bona fide crowd-pleaser but also the most sweetly radical musical of its age. Here on the Broadway stage, decades before the fight for marriage equality hit the headlines, was a pair of gay dads raising a family, and here was "...a man singing a love song to another man-I don't think that's ever been done in a Broadway musical before." Herman told The Washington Post that during previews in Boston "I didn't know whether or not they'd throw stones. The audience gave it an ovation." "By the time Georges and Albin-having weathered a son's passing ingratitude and a zealot's intolerance-walked hand in hand into the St. Tropez sunset, the audience was on its feet," The Washington Post reported. "What La Cage aux Folles celebrates, after all, is loyalty and love, respect for others and respect for self and, yes, even family. The good old values." Gerald Herman was born in New York in 1931 and raised in Jersey City. His parents Harry and Ruth ran a children's summer camp in the Catskills, where young Jerry surprised everyone by teaching himself the piano. Once, he recalled years later, "my parents took me at a tender age to see Annie Get Your Gun, and I was absolutely dazzled. I have one of those retentive ears, and when I came home I sat down at the piano and played about five of the songs. My mother was amazed." Many more would be amazed. At 17, he was introduced to Frank Loesser, who encouraged him to continue composing once he heard some of Herman's songs. He went to the University of Miami, joining its adventurous theater program and himself appearing in undergraduate shows including the musical Finian's Rainbow. His alma mater since then has honored this distinguished alumnus and today boasts the Jerry Herman Ring Theatre at the heart of its drama program. After graduation from Miami, Herman headed back to New York and put together a review of his songs so far: I Feel Wonderful opened at the Theatre de Lys in Greenwich Village October 18, 1954 and ran for 48 performances. He was just getting going. While playing piano in a New York jazz club called the Showplace, Herman brought together his friends Phyllis Newman and Charles Nelson Reilly for another review called Nightcap, which opened in 1958. This one ran for two years. In 1960 came Herman's Broadway debut, alongside material by Fred Ebb and Woody Allen, in the review From A to Z. That same year came Parade, also at the Showplace, starring Reilly and Dody Goodman. A hit, Parade moved to the Players' Theatre and it was during this run that a producer asked Herman if he would be interested in writing a musical about the founding of the state of Israel. Milk and Honey, starring Molly Picon as the ultimate Hadassah lady, opened in 1961. It earned Herman his first Tony nomination for Best Musical of 1962. He had arrived. It was David Merrick who brought together Herman and the first of his vulnerable but ultimately invincible heroines, Dolly Levi. Hello, Dolly! starring Carol Channing opened in 1964, ran for 2,844 performances, became Broadway's longest-running musical and has been revived often since. It swept the Tony Awards, taking home a then unmatched 10 including Best Musical and becoming one of the happiest episodes in the history of the Broadway musical. Mame followed in 1966, starring Angela Lansbury and teaching the world that in the toughest times "We Need a Little Christmas." What has followed amounts to a life-affirming body of work rivaled by few: Dear World, the underappreciated Mack Mabel, The Grand Tour, Mrs. Santa Claus, Jerry's Girls, and of course La Cage aux Folles. The theater world knew a good thing when it heard and saw it: Tonys, Drama Desk Awards, Theatre World Awards all followed, as did a 2009 Special Tony Award for Lifetime achievement, and a 2010 Drama Desk Special Award for "enchanting and dazzling audiences with his exuberant music and heartfelt lyrics for more than half a century." Right now in the 21st Century, we can be sure that someone, somewhere is singing a Jerry Herman song. That's one happy way we know the man's been right all along: the best of times is now.

Fue fundada en 1981 en Los Ángeles por Lars Ulrich y James Hetfield, a los que se les unirían Dave Mustaine y Ron McGovney. Estos dos músicos fueron después sustituidos por el guitarrista Kirk Hammett y el bajista Cliff Burton respectivamente, Dave Mustaine fue despedido un año después de ingresar en la banda debido a su excesiva adicción al alcohol y su actitud violenta, siendo sustituido por Kirk Hammett (exguitarrista de Exodus). Ron renuncia a la banda debido al mal comportamiento de Dave Mustaine, el cual era violento y problemático cuando estaba bajo el efecto del alcohol. El colmo fue cuando Mustaine mojó el bajo de Ron con cerveza, él sin saberlo lo conectó, recibiendo una descarga eléctrica. Es entonces, tras contactar con Cliff Burton que la banda se traslada a San Francisco. (Cabe resaltar que Ron sabía que lo iban a despedir y sustituir por Cliff Burton). Por otra parte, el 27 de septiembre de 1986, fue la muerte de Cliff Burton en un accidente de autobús en Suecia, durante una de sus giras, esto provocó la entrada al grupo de Jason Newsted,​ quien, tras su abandono quince años más tarde, sería sustituido por el bajista actual, Robert Trujillo. Hasta la fecha, la banda ha editado 10 álbumes de estudio, siendo el último de estos Hardwired to Self Destruct el cual fue lanzado mundialmente el 18 de noviembre del 2016. Las ventas totales de Metallica superan los 120 millones,​ y se les considera parte de los cuatro grandes del thrash metal, junto con Megadeth, Slayer y Anthrax.​ Además, el grupo ha conseguido numerosos premios musicales, entre los que destacan nueve Grammys, dos premios otorgados por la cadena musical MTV, dos galardones de la Academia de Música Americana (American Music Awards) y dos premios de la revista Billboard, además de pertenecer desde el año 2009 al Salón de la fama del Rock​ y poseer una estrella en el Paseo de la Fama de la revista Kerrang! Se considera que la historia de Metallica comenzó en 1980 cuando el joven Lars Ulrich, originario de Gentofte, Dinamarca, se trasladó con su familia a Los Ángeles. Hijo del tenista profesional Torben Ulrich,​ Ulrich había desarrollado una enorme afición por el heavy metal durante los años 70, cuando la NWOBHM (Nueva Ola de Heavy Metal Británico) tenía gran auge en la escena underground europea. Con su traslado a Estados Unidos, planeado por su padre con el objetivo original de preparar una carrera dentro del tenis profesional, dicha afición de Ulrich se convertiría prácticamente en una obsesión, que se concentraba especialmente en grupos desconocidos de la nueva corriente inglesa. Su prioridad al llegar a Los Ángeles fue la de explotar su capacidad musical junto con otros jóvenes, lo que le llevó en 1981 a publicar un anuncio en la revista Recycler, en el que solicitaba un guitarrista para formar una banda con influencias de las bandas de la NWOBHM,​ concretamente sus bandas preferidas: Diamond Head, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden y Tygers of Pan Tang. El joven James Hetfield, hijo de un propietario de una compañía de camiones y de una cantante de ópera que educaron a sus hijos en la Ciencia Cristiana,​ respondió a su anuncio. Comenzaron a ensayar juntos y, aunque al principio a Hetfield no le convencía la forma de tocar de Ulrich,​ finalmente formaron una banda. La clave de esta unión fue el tema que tenía reservado por parte de su amigo Brian Slagel, fundador de la compañía discográfica, entonces recién creada, Metal Blade Records, en el primer recopilatorio que editaría el sello, titulado Metal Massacre.​ El nombre del grupo fue idea de un amigo de Lars llamado Ron Quintana,​ quien tenía "Metalmania" y "Metallica" como posibles nombres para un nuevo fanzine musical, aunque se inclinaba más por el segundo. A Ulrich le gustó tanto "Metallica" que rápidamente le recomendó (a Quintana) que llamara "Metalmania" al fanzine. Así, la banda de Ulrich y Hetfield tomó el nombre Metallica.​ Ulrich se trasladó al local que Hetfield poseía junto a su amigo Ron McGovney, el cual provenía de una familia acomodada que poseía numerosas propiedades. Hetfield le pidió a McGovney que tocara el bajo en la banda y se ofreció a enseñarle. Al contrario de lo que se rumoreaba, Ron no fue el diseñador del logotipo de la Metallica. En una entrevista de la banda concedida a la cadena ABC, el propio James Hetfiled, afirmó haberlo dibujado el a partir de un simple boceto.​ Tras incesantes intentos de conseguir un guitarrista solista influido por Motörhead y Iron Maiden, encontraron a Lloyd Grant, un joven guitarrista afroamericano con quien tocaron la primera demo de Metallica, titulada Hit the Lights (1981). Lloyd, que pensaba quedarse poco tiempo más en la banda, fue al poco tiempo sustituido por Dave Mustaine en la guitarra líder, completando así la primera formación de Metallica, ya que en Mustaine encontraron a la persona ideal para cerrar la formación. El primer paso fue la grabación del tema para la primera entrega de Metal Massacre. El elegido sería "Hit the Lights", tema que provenía de la anterior banda de Hetfield, Leather Charm, considerado uno de los primeros temas del thrash metal. El debut de Metallica en directo tendría lugar el 14 de marzo de 1982 en el club Radio City de Anaheim, en una actuación en la que la falta de experiencia sobre el escenario ocasionó serios problemas a la banda.​ Dos semanas más tarde tendrían la oportunidad de enmendar su error abriendo dos noches seguidas para los ingleses Saxon en el local Whiskey-A-Go-Go de Los Ángeles. Cabe decir que dentro del libreto del álbum de versiones que la banda realizó en 1998 titulado Garage Inc pueden encontrarse reproducidas las notas que el propio Ulrich tomó en aquel momento sobre la marcha de estos dos conciertos, incluyendo los setlists de ambas noches y las impresiones del batería sobre la marcha de las mismas. La decepción que ocasionó a la banda estos dos malos conciertos hizo que se replanteasen la contratación de un vocalista mientras Hetfield y Mustaine fuesen los dos guitarristas de la banda. Para ello se contrató a Sammy Dijon, exvocalista de la banda Ruthless, quien realizó algunas pruebas pero que no fue finalmente admitido en el seno del grupo, por lo que fue despedido. En abril de 1982 se contrató a otro guitarrista, Damien Phillips (de nombre real Brad Parker), para actuar como tal mientras Hetfield se concentraba delante del micrófono, pero también fue despedido después de su primera actuación con la banda debido a la negativa de Mustaine a que hubiese un tercer guitarrista. Posteriormente se barajaron varios cantantes, entre los cuales estaban John Bush, futuro vocalista de Armored Saint, y Jesse Cox de Tygers of Pan Tang. Ninguno fue admitido, motivo por el que Hetfield pasó a encargarse tanto de la segunda guitarra como de la voz desde aquel momento. En un ensayo realizado en la antigua escuela de Lars Ulrich, el vocalista fue Jeff Warner, del que se cuenta que no fue aceptado porque desafinaba demasiado. Con la edición de Metal Massacre en el mes de julio de 1982, el grupo, tras renegar de la versión de "Hit the Lights" aparecida en el mismo por encontrarse completamente desfasada de lo que constituía su nuevo sonido, decidió grabar su primer demo, titulado No Life 'til Leather, primera estrofa de la canción Hit the Lights. Siete temas formarían parte de este demo, entre los que se encuentra una versión mucho más potente y acelerada de "Hit the Lights". Con una agenda de conciertos cada vez más ajustada, Hetfield y Ulrich comenzaron a plantearse la sustitución de McGovney. Años después, este dijo en una entrevista que el resto de la banda le dejaba que se encargara de todo. Es en ese momento cuando empiezan a aparecer los problemas con Dave Mustaine, derivados de un carácter extremadamente violento unido al consumo extremo de alcohol y drogas.​ Conocedor de la necesidad de Metallica de reclutar un nuevo bajista, Brian Slagel recomienda a Lars y James la banda Trauma, que acababa de editar uno de sus temas en la segunda entrega de Metal Massacre. Hetfield y Ulrich quedarían totalmente impresionados con la destreza y presencia en el escenario de su bajista, Cliff Burton, ofreciéndole inmediatamente el entrar a formar parte de Metallica, lo cual sería inicialmente rechazado por Burton.​ Aún con McGovney en sus filas, grabarían el 29 de noviembre del mismo año (1982) un demo en directo en el The Waldorf de San Francisco, que recibiría el nombre de Live Metal Up Your Ass y en la que estrenarían el tema "Whiplash", inédito hasta entonces. El concierto tendría como teloneros a Exodus, cuyo guitarrista líder, un joven Kirk Hammett, causaría una gran impresión en James y Lars Ulrich, que ante los crecientes problemas con Mustaine comenzaron a considerarlo como un reemplazo perfecto. Poco tiempo después McGovney decidió dejar Metallica al oír que habían estado estableciendo contactos con Cliff Burton,​ para incorporarse a Phantasm, al contrario de la creencia popular de que fue despedido. Posteriormente declaró: "Nunca escuché 'Estás despedido' o algo así de parte de ellos. Yo renuncié, aunque es obvio que, aunque no hubiera renunciado, me iban a despedir de todas maneras". Al mismo tiempo, Cliff Burton, quien estaba teniendo problemas con Trauma debido a la dirección que el resto de los integrantes querían tomar con respecto a su música, decidió pasarse a las filas de Metallica. La única condición no negociable que puso el bajista fue que la banda se trasladase a San Francisco, donde los nuevos sonidos relacionados con el thrash comenzaban a generar una legión de seguidores que recibió el nombre de "Bay Area Bangers". En cualquier caso, Hetfield, Ulrich y Mustaine ya estaban pensando en mudarse a San Francisco, puesto que habían observado la energía y el entusiasmo de la escena thrash de esa ciudad, además de porque la escena de Los Ángeles estaba dominada por el cada vez más famoso glam metal, con bandas como Mötley Crüe, Dokken, Quiet Riot, Cinderella y Ratt. A principios de 1983, el mánager y promotor de conciertos Johnny Zazula (con la ayuda de su mujer) se puso en contacto con el grupo para ofrecerles un traslado a Nueva York, con la idea de organizar varios conciertos en la Costa Este y, si todo marchaba bien, grabar un álbum.​ Tras aceptar la oferta, Metallica inició el viaje el 1 de abril, y tras atravesar todo el país, fijaron su nuevo lugar de residencia en el Music Building de Nueva York, un edificio en el que cohabitaban con varias bandas de rock, entre las que se encontraba Anthrax, iniciando amistad y camaradería entre los dos grupos. A los diez días de su llegada a Nueva York, la situación con Mustaine se hizo insostenible, con lo que Hetfield y Ulrich sorprendieron a un Mustaine recién despierto para anunciarle que estaba fuera del grupo y que en un breve plazo salía el autobús que habían reservado para su vuelta a casa (posteriormente Dave fundaría Megadeth).​ Los integrantes ya estaban preparados para esto. Le pidieron a Zazula que se pusiese en contacto con el guitarrista de Exodus, Kirk Hammett, para unirse a la banda. Al principio, Kirk creía que la llamada de Zazula era una broma, pero finalmente aceptó.​ De forma simultánea a la expulsión de Dave, Kirk Hammett dejaba Exodus y se disponía a salir hacia Nueva York, llegando esa misma noche a altas horas de la madrugada. Alumno de Joe Satriani, Hammett introduciría un sonido más melódico, técnico y estilizado en Metallica, que se haría patente a partir del segundo álbum del grupo, puesto que el primero estaba compuesto en su totalidad en el momento de su entrada. El debut del nuevo guitarrista tendría lugar en el neoyorquino "Showplace" abriendo para The Rods. Tras un mes de ensayos, Metallica entraría finalmente el 10 de mayo en los "Music America Studios" para grabar su primer álbum.​ El tracklisting sería prácticamente igual que el de No Life 'til Leather, incluyendo como novedades el tema "Whiplash", ya aparecido en Live Metal Up Your Ass, y el solo de bajo que Burton solía ejecutar en los conciertos,​ bajo el nombre de "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth". Además, también se incluiría una versión remozada del tema "The Mechanix", añadiendo nuevos riffs y rebautizándola como "The Four Horsemen".​ La producción correría a cargo de Paul Curcio, propietario de los estudios e ingeniero residente. Su trabajo levantó suspicacias por parte del grupo debido a la diferencia de criterios con respecto al sonido del álbum que quería imprimirle la banda. Tras seis semanas, el primer trabajo de Metallica sería lanzado en el mes de julio bajo el nombre Kill 'em All. Dicho nombre (Mátalos a Todos) provenía de una frase de Cliff Burton a causa del enfado que produjo en el grupo la negativa de diversas distribuidoras de discos a comercializar el álbum con el título que el grupo quería darle, Metal Up Your Ass (Metal por el culo).​ Zazula, incapaz de encontrar una compañía discográfica interesada en publicar el disco, optó finalmente por la fundación de un sello propio, Megaforce Records. Se consiguió la cifra de 17.000 copias vendidas en las dos primeras semanas,​ y sobre todo, Kill 'em All contribuyó notablemente a extender la buena reputación de Metallica, recibiendo una avalancha de críticas favorables por parte de la prensa, que ya comenzaba a verlos como los iniciadores de una nueva corriente en el metal.​ Posteriormente, la cifra de copias vendidas del disco llegaría hasta las 300.000.​ Como forma de promoción, Zazula organizaría un tour conjunto con Raven, Quiet Riot y Y&T que los llevaría por todo Estados Unidos, constando de 35 fechas y bautizado como Kill 'em All For One Tour (el álbum que Raven se encontraba promocionando se llamaba All For One). Posteriormente, y tras varios conciertos en San Francisco, Nueva York y Boston, y prácticamente coincidiendo con la edición en Europa del sencillo "Jump in the Fire" por parte del sello Music for Nations, el 3 de febrero de 1984 se inició la gira europea Seven Dates of Hell, en la que se encargan de abrir para los ingleses Venom, teniendo como momento cumbre la participación en el Aardshock Festival en Países Bajos, tocando ante más de 5000 personas, la audiencia más grande que habían tenido hasta el momento.​ Terminada la gira, Metallica entraría el 20 de febrero en los Sweet Silence Studios de Copenhague para la grabación de su segundo álbum, recayendo todo el peso de la producción en el ingeniero residente Flemming Rasmussen,​ quien ya había trabajado anteriormente con bandas como Mercyful Fate y Rainbow y posteriormente con Sepultura, Danger Danger y Blind Guardian. El ajustado presupuesto del que Zazula disponía se convirtió en el principal problema durante la grabación del álbum, que transcurrió a un ritmo frenético durante menos de un mes, quedando finalizada el 14 de marzo, y viéndose solo interrumpida por el fallido tour Hell On Earth junto a The Rods y Exciter, finalmente cancelado por la escasa venta de entradas. A la considerable evolución mostrada en estos temas se unía el rumor latente de que el grupo estaba trabajando en una balada, lo que provocó cierta agitación dentro del sector más extremo de los fanáticos de la banda. Ride the Lightning, nombre que recibiría finalmente el álbum, supondría un gran cambio en el sonido de la banda, que se adentraba en terrenos mucho más melódicos. Las labores de composición contaron con la colaboración de Burton y Mustaine. También se confirmó el rumor la inclusión de una balada, que recibiría el título de "Fade to Black". Fue escrita por Hetfield inspirándose en el robo de equipo que la banda sufrió el 14 de enero de aquel mismo año (1984),.​ La primera aparición de la banda en los escenarios tras la grabación tendría lugar en dos sold-out en el londinense Marquee, tras lo cual se harían diversos conciertos en Alemania, Países Bajos y Bélgica. El momento más importante de este tour llegaría el 3 de agosto en el "Roseland" de Nueva York, donde tendrían un primer contacto con el sello Elektra Records, y en el que, tras el concierto, iniciarían las negociaciones con Peter Mensch y Cliff Burnstein de la agencia Q-Prime, la cual finalmente acabaría comprando el contrato de Metallica a Johnny Zazula. Probablemente es este hecho el que fomentaría las conversaciones de la banda con Elektra, que acabaría fichándolos el 12 de septiembre tras firmar un contrato en el que se otorgaba al grupo el control artístico absoluto sobre su carrera. El primer movimiento de Elektra tras reclutar a Metallica sería reeditar Ride the Lightning bajo su sello el 19 de noviembre, a la vez que Music for Nations, con la que Zazula tenía un acuerdo aún vigente tras el fichaje por Elektra, edita en Europa el sencillo "Creeping Death", que contendría la suite The Garage Days Re-visited, formada por las versiones "Am I Evil?" de Diamond Head y "Blitzkrieg" de la banda con el mismo nombre. A su vez, se inicia un nuevo tour europeo, esta vez coordinado por Q-Prime con Robert Allen como mánager de la gira, que dio comienzo en la francesa ciudad de Rusen el 16 de noviembre y finalizó en el London Lyceum de Londres el 20 de diciembre tras haber visitado Francia, Alemania, Dinamarca, Suecia, Suiza, Italia, Finlandia e Inglaterra con un enorme éxito de público. Finalizada la gira europea, y tras un descanso por Navidad, Metallica inició el 11 de enero de 1985 un tour por Estados Unidos y Canadá junto a Armored Saint, Helix y los W.A.S.P. de Blackie Lawless, con quienes la banda tuvo varios roces debido al supuesto ego de dicho frontman. Sería durante esta gira cuando la banda comienza a ser conocida como "Alcohólica" por sus excesos con el alcohol. A esto se uniría el cartel que colocaron en dicho autobús, "No se ría, señor. Su hija probablemente esté dentro", que daba una idea de la actitud desenfadada del grupo. Tras más de tres meses en la carretera, la gira tendría su final en el Starry Night Club de Portland. Pasados dos años de gira, volvieron a los Sweet Silence Studios. De allí surgió Master of Puppets, uno de los discos más alabados dentro del heavy metal,​ la canción principal homónima está considerada por muchos seguidores de la banda como la mejor de Metallica. El disco ha vendido hasta la fecha más de 7 millones de copias en todo el mundo, a pesar de que solo llegó en su día al puesto 29 del Billboard.​ La gira de presentación del disco comenzó en verano de 1986 con el guitarrista rítmico John Marshall, ya que Hetfield se había quebrado la muñeca en un accidente de skateboard.​​ En dicha gira, esta vez en Europa y con Hetfield recuperado, el autobús de la gira circulaba por las carreteras suecas a las 6:15 horas de la mañana del 27 de septiembre;​ Cliff se encontraba durmiendo en la litera asignada a Kirk Hammett (debido a que este último había perdido en una apuesta), y repentinamente el autobús volcó cerca del pueblo de Ljungby, mientras que Hammett, Ulrich y Hetfield no sufrieron daños físicos preocupantes, el autobús cayó sobre el cuerpo del bajista, tras salir despedido por la ventana, causándole la muerte de forma instantánea. Según el conductor, el autobús derrapó debido a las placas de hielo que había en la carretera, lo que ocasionó el vuelco; Hetfield, furioso por lo sucedido, intentó golpear al conductor, siendo detenido por sus compañeros. Posteriormente recorrió una distancia considerable de la carretera buscando las placas, pero no encontró nada. En el funeral de Burton, se escuchó el tema «Orion». Su muerte provocó la suspensión de la gira de la banda​ y la retirada de los tres miembros restantes para pensar al respecto de su futuro. Finalmente, y después de consultar a los familiares del fallecido bajista,​ decidieron continuar con la carrera musical de la banda, y reclutaron al bajista Jason Newsted de la banda Flotsam and Jetsam, en lugar de Cliff, puesto para el cual también optó Jeff Pilson entre más de 40 músicos.​ Al año siguiente la banda volvería a Europa para completar la gira con su nuevo bajista. En su primera actuación con Metallica, Newsted tocó un solo de bajo, lo que provocó un descontento entre los seguidores de la banda, quienes consideraron esto como una falta de respeto hacia Burton. En 1987 lanzarían un gran álbum de versiones de las bandas que les influyeron titulado Garage Days Re-Revisited para introducir a Newsted a los seguidores de la banda.​ El nombre proviene de las sesiones de grabación de dicho álbum en el garaje de Ulrich.​ Un año después lanzarían un nuevo disco, titulado ...And Justice for All. Es su álbum más oscuro, con un sonido dominado por ritmos de batería densos y muy acelerados, de gran complejidad. Pese a lo que podría parecer, es un trabajo menos melódico que sus predecesores, con un ambiente negativo, y unas letras más cercanas a la crítica social, política e incluso ecológica ("Blackened"). Destacan los temas "One" (canción con el primer videoclip grabado por la banda, recogiendo escenas de la película Johnny cogió su fusil;​ con este videoclip, la banda comenzó a ganar fama en el ámbito mainstream, "To Live Is to Die" (dedicado a Cliff Burton basándose en los bocetos de una canción que se encontraba componiendo en la que se oye un poema compuesto por el desaparecido bajista a pesar de ser un tema instrumental), "...And Justice for All" y "Blackened". Esta producción marcó un hito en el equipamiento de las guitarras de Metallica, ya que dejan sus full stacks valvulares Marshall, pasando a utilizar la Mesa Boogie, obteniendo un sonido mucho más agresivo.​ Algunas de las escasas críticas que recibió al disco se basan en, a pesar de la evolución, la poca calidad en la producción, señalando el "fino zumbido" de las guitarras, el "clickeo" de la batería, y el escaso volumen que tiene el bajo, el cual casi no se percibe siendo imposible de atisbar en muchos momentos. A pesar de estas características, el álbum ha vendido hasta la fecha más de 8 millones de copias,​ a pesar de tener una promoción casi nula sin ningún tipo de repercusión en canales de televisión como MTV.​ Gracias a este trabajo, Metallica recibe su primera nominación a los premios Grammy en 1989, en la categoría de Mejor Interpretación Vocal o Instrumental de Hard Rock/Metal. Contra todo pronóstico, el ganador del premio fue el álbum Crest of a Knave de Jethro Tull, quienes no acudieron a la gala. Lars Ulrich se referiría a ellos después de ganar el Grammy en 1992 en la misma categoría por el álbum homónimo de la formación: "Queremos dar las gracias a Jethro Tull por no haber sacado ningún disco este año".​ Su siguiente trabajo, llamado Metallica pero mejor conocido como The Black Album se publicó en 1991 y contó con la producción de Bob Rock, mejor conocido por su trabajo con Bon Jovi, Tankard y Mötley Crüe, entre otros. Con canciones como "Enter Sandman", "Holier Than Thou", "Sad But True", "The Unforgiven", "Don't Tread On Me", "Through the Never", "My Friend Of Misery", "The God That Failed", "The Struggle Within", "Of Wolf and Man", "Wherever I May Roam" y "Nothing Else Matters", vendió más de 500.000 copias en su primera semana en Estados Unidos, llegando al primer puesto en la lista del Billboard,​ en parte gracias a su carácter más comercial. Solo en aquel país, la Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certificó catorce millones de copias vendidas desde su lanzamiento. El nombre popular del disco The Black Album (El álbum negro) proviene de la portada, que solo contiene el logo de Metallica en la esquina superior izquierda y el dibujo de una serpiente en la esquina inferior derecha, todo ello sobre un fondo negro. Hetfield explicó posteriormente esta composición y dijo que la banda quería que la gente se fijase en la música que contenía el álbum, y no en el simbolismo ni en el diseño artístico. La canción "Enter Sandman" ocupa el puesto #408 entre las 500 mejores canciones de todos los tiempos en la lista de Rolling Stone .​ Posteriormente, la banda realizó la gira Wherever We May Roam Tour, que duró dos años.​ Luego inició otra junto a Guns N' Roses. El 8 de agosto de 1992 en Montreal, Canadá, durante este tour, la actuación de Metallica terminó abruptamente debido a que, durante la canción "Fade To Black", un fuego artificial explotó debajo de James Hetfield provocándole graves quemaduras.​ Asimismo, una afección de garganta del vocalista Axl Rose no le permitió tocar a Guns N' Roses. La breve actuación de Metallica y la cancelación del show de Guns N' Roses provocaron la ira de los fanes, que causaron múltiples destrozos y en los incidentes hubo algunos heridos.​ En 1993, la banda editó el box set Live Shit: Binge and Purge, que contiene tres CD y dos conciertos en vídeo grabados en la Ciudad de México, en Seattle y en San Diego. Originalmente fue lanzado como una caja de cartulina como si fuera equipo de un tour. Aparte de los CD y los DVD, la caja contiene material adicional como un libro a color de setenta y cinco páginas. Su disco homónimo, conocido popularmente como The Black Album marcaría un punto de inflexión en la carrera musical de Metallica, y sus dos discos consecutivos titulados Load (1996) y ReLoad (1997), de estilos idénticos entre sí ya que estaban pensados para formar un mismo álbum doble,​ están totalmente dominados por un sonido que muchos antiguos seguidores consideraron como más comercial y muy suavizado con letras menos duras, más cercano al metal alternativo que triunfaba en aquella época.​ Quizás el cambio más llamativo para sus seguidores fue el cambio de imagen: se cortaron las melenas y cambiaron el fácilmente reconocible logotipo que identificaba a Metallica.​ Esto se vio también reflejado en el cambio de sello discográfico, ya que las relaciones entre Elektra Records y la banda finalizaron después de casi diez años cobrando solo un 14% de los beneficios netos de Metallica, aunque acabarían reanudando su contrato poco después.​ El éxito de ambos álbumes no fue tan contundente como el del álbum negro. Muchos adolescentes se convirtieron en seguidores de Metallica, al mismo tiempo que muchos de sus antiguos seguidores se veían en gran medida "traicionados" por la nueva dirección tomada por el grupo,​ lo que desde entonces lleva alimentando una gran polémica.​En los premios Grammy entraron por primera vez en la categoría Heavy Rock en vez de Heavy Metal, como ocurría antes del mencionado Load. Ese mismo año la banda finlandesa Apocalyptica debutó con su homenaje a Metallica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos, que era básicamente un álbum con covers de Metallica tocados únicamente con violonchelos. En 1998, realizarían un nuevo trabajo similar a Garage Days Re-Visited titulado Garage Inc., aunque esta vez sería un álbum doble de versiones de temas de estilos bastante diversos que influyeron a la banda en su ya dilatada carrera. Mientras que el primer disco incluía versiones grabadas para el lanzamiento del álbum, el disco dos contenía íntegros el Garage Days Revisited proveniente del sencillo de "Creeping Death", y el Garage Days Re-revisited, además de varias versiones provenientes de caras B y un extracto del concierto de versiones de Motörhead que Metallica dio en el 50 cumpleaños de Lemmy Kilmister el 4 de diciembre de 1995 en el Whiskey-A-Go-Go. La versión "Holy Roller" de Nazareth y "Round and Round" de Ratt resultó ganador de un premio Grammy en la categoría de Mejor Interpretación de Heavy Metal en 2000. Al año siguiente (1999) grabarían en un concierto en directo, titulado S&M, en colaboración con la Orquesta Sinfónica de San Francisco, dirigida por Michael Kamen, quien había hecho los arreglos de orquesta para "Nothing Else Matters" en The Black Album. En este álbum doble se experimenta la mezcla entre música de canciones de Metallica con arreglos orquestales. Además, se presentarían dos nuevos temas especialmente compuestos para la ocasión, "No Leaf Clover" y "- Human", extrayéndose el primero de ellos como segundo sencillo del disco. En abril de 2000, Metallica demandó a Napster, la compañía creadora del programa homónimo que permitía el intercambio de música en formato MP3, por violación de los derechos de autor,​ pues una versión de la canción todavía en proceso para la película Misión imposible 2, "I Disappear", se escuchaba en la radio estadounidense. Dos semanas después, Dr. Dre también demandaba a la empresa. Napster ya había sido acusada por la RIAA en 1999 de violar leyes de propiedad intelectual y servir de asilo para la piratería musical en internet, además de que algunas universidades habían pedido prohibir el programa, pues disminuía la velocidad de sus redes. Para mayo de 2000, Napster bloqueó las contraseñas de más de 35 mil usuarios proporcionada por Ulrich y que habían obtenido canciones de Metallica.​ Chuck D., Helix, Motley Crue, Exumer y Courtney Love hablaron a favor de Napster y proclamaron la oportunidad que significaba para consumidores y artistas. Para Chuck D., Napster era una reacción, "el fenómeno musical más grande desde los Beatles", "la industria se ha ufanado en guiar a las audiencias; por primera vez los seguidores de la banda han tenido la tecnología antes que la industria". En su defensa, Napster alegó que servía solo como conducto de la información. En junio de ese año, la RIAA pidió eliminar de Napster todo el contenido perteneciente a las discográficas más importantes. En septiembre del mismo año, Metallica y Dr. Dre enviaron cartas a Harvard, Columbia y otras universidades para que restringieran el acceso al programa. En octubre, Dave Matthews Band se convirtió en el primer grupo en permitir la distribución de una canción vía Napster, con la venia de su compañía. La polémica cesaría en julio de 2001, al aplazar la banda todas las denuncias contra Napster alegando que estaba haciendo más mal que bien a la imagen del grupo.​ En 2001, el bajista Jason Newsted, quien anteriormente había tenido serias discusiones con los demás integrantes sobre sus proyectos fuera del grupo, abandonaría Metallica alegando desgaste físico y motivos personales.​ Poco tiempo después, en la controvertida entrevista realizada por Playboy​ por separado a todos los miembros de la banda varios meses antes, se descubriría que uno de los principales motivos de la marcha del bajista era la rotunda negativa de Hetfield a la publicación del disco de Echobrain, la banda alternativa de Newsted.​ Tras un largo proceso de selección en busca de sustituto, y en el que se barajaron músicos como Twiggy Ramirez, se contrataría a Robert Trujillo, quien había sido bajista de Suicidal Tendencies, Black Label Society y Ozzy Osbourne en sus actuaciones en directo. Cabe resaltar que Jason Newsted, tras dejar Metallica, perteneció durante un tiempo a la banda de Osbourne, en la que militaba Mike Inez, miembro de Alice in Chains y que también se rumoreó como sustituto.​ Este mismo año se crea la banda homenaje satírica, Beatallica, la cual fusiona la música de The Beatles y Metallica. Tuvieron un problema legal con Sony, poseedora de los derechos sobre el material de los Beatles, pero fueron ayudados por Lars Ulrich.​ Antes de la entrada de Trujillo, la banda había grabado el álbum St. Anger, con Bob Rock nuevamente en el puesto de productor. Este último toca el bajo debido a las dificultades para encontrar un nuevo bajista.​ Como peculiaridades del disco destaca la ausencia absoluta de solos de guitarra, y un sonido de la batería totalmente novedoso e igualmente polémico que radicaba en la caja, la cual tenía un armónico metálico en vez del de madera seca usado hasta entonces. El vídeo de la canción homónima del álbum fue grabado en la prisión de San Quintin.​Hubo otras muchas dificultades en la producción del álbum, debidos a motivos como el proceso de rehabilitación de Hetfield, que había comenzado a tener problemas con el alcohol después de un viaje a Siberia donde, según él, su única bebida era el vodka. En el 2004, se lanzaría el documental Some Kind of Monster, que narra la producción del St. Anger en medio de discusiones y problemas luego de la salida de Jason y de la rehabilitación de James Hetfield, de quien ya se conocía su pasión por el alcohol.​ En el documental hacen aparición Jason Newsted y su banda Echobrain (Lars y Kirk acuden a una de sus presentaciones, se dirigen hacia los camerinos y cuando llegan, Jason ya se había ido) y uno de sus primeros guitarristas del grupo, Dave Mustaine, quien charla con Lars acerca de temas como su estancia en Metallica y su carrera en Megadeth. Dentro del documental, el grupo se apoya de un terapeuta para resolver los problemas previamente mencionados. También se muestran los primeros momentos de Robert Trujillo como bajista de Metallica, incluyendo su audición para entrar al grupo.​ En el 2006, la banda realizó el tour Escape from the studio 06, en el que tocaron el disco Master of Puppets entero en conmemoración de su vigésimo aniversario. Durante este tour, la banda tocó dos nuevas canciones: "New Song (Death is not the End)" y "The Other New Song (Vultorous)".​Estas 2 canciones mencionadas fueron editadas y lanzadas en el álbum Death Magnetic (2008), siendo Death is not the End "The end of the line" y Vultorous "All Nightmare Long". El 4 de diciembre del 2006 fue lanzada una compilación de todos sus vídeos desde 1989 hasta 2004, titulada The Videos. Esta incluye todos sus vídeos desde "One" hasta "Some Kind of Monster" y, como bonus, las dos versiones del vídeo de "One", la versión teatral de "The Unforgiven" de once minutos, el tráiler del documental Some Kind of Monster y además, por primera vez en DVD, la introducción de 2 of One. También Kirk y James aparecieron en el programa Metalocalypse y la banda entera en Los Simpson, quienes además aparecerían en la película Get Thrashed. Un año más tarde, el grupo grabó la versión de Ennio Morricone "The Ecstacy of Gold", el cual apareció en el disco homenaje We All Love Ennio Morricone. Luego, en los meses de junio y julio realizaron la gira Sick Of The Studio 07. La banda comenzó a grabar el álbum Death Magnetic el 14 de marzo de 2007. Este cuenta con Rick Rubin como productor, reemplazando a Bob Rock, que había ocupado dicho puesto desde hace más de 15 años. El álbum es finalmente lanzado el 12 de septiembre de 2008. Se han establecido algunas citas para su gira en 2008, y anteriormente, participaron en el Electric Weekend de Getafe, siendo cabezas de cartel junto con Rage Against the Machine. Además, la banda participó en el álbum homenaje a Iron Maiden Maiden Heaven,​ interpretando la canción "Remember Tomorrow" junto a bandas como Avenged Sevenfold y Dokken. Metallica en la actualidad, ha vendido más de 100 millones de álbumes y posee una estrella en el paseo de la fama en Hollywood.​ La página oficial ha confirmado que el grupo ha ocupado un lugar en el Salón de la Fama del Rock,​ y que fue nominado en dos categorías (Rock Out y Headliner) en los MTV Europe Music Awards así como invitado para tocar en vivo dentro de Los Premios a la Música de Latinoamérica de MTV, los cuales se llevaron a cabo dentro del Auditorio de la Universidad de Guadalajara en Guadalajara, Jalisco, México.​ En septiembre del 2008 comienzan la gira mundial World Magnetic Tour, visitando países de Europa, América del Norte, América Central, América del Sur, Asia y Oceanía. Esta gira se extendió hasta noviembre del 2010, recaudando millones de dólares y congregando a millones de fanáticos alrededor de todo el mundo, no sin antes prometer James Hetfield que volverían. El 31 de octubre de 2011 lanzan el álbum conceptual Lulu con el cantante de Art Rock y rock alternativo Lou Reed, siendo percibido de mal gusto para muchos de los fanáticos de la banda.​ El 5 de diciembre de 2011 Metallica realizó 4 conciertos en San Francisco celebrando su trigésimo aniversario como grupo, invitando a artistas como Dave Mustaine, Jason Newsted, entre otros. Metallica anunció para finales del año 2011 que sacarían cuatro canciones inéditas pertenecientes a las grabaciones del disco Death Magnetic. En enero del 2012, después de haber anunciado las cuatro canciones inéditas de las grabaciones de Death Magnetic, se edita un EP titulado "Beyond Magnetic" el cual contiene las cuatro canciones inéditas anunciadas. Este EP en su salida recibió principalmente críticas favorables. El 7 de febrero de 2012, Metallica anunció que comenzaría un nuevo festival de música llamado Orion Music + More , que tuvo lugar los días 23 y 24 de junio de 2012 en Atlantic City. Metallica también confirmó que encabezaría el festival en ambos días y presentaría dos de sus álbumes más aclamados por la crítica en su totalidad: The Black Album en una noche y Ride the Lightning en la otra. En una entrevista de julio de 2012 con la estación de radio canadiense 99.3 The Fox , Ulrich dijo que Metallica no lanzaría su nuevo álbum hasta al menos principios de 2014. En noviembre de 2012, Metallica dejó Warner Bros. Records y lanzó un sello discográfico independiente, Blackened Recordings, que producirá los futuros lanzamientos de la banda. La banda ha adquirido los derechos de todos sus álbumes de estudio, que serán reeditados a través del nuevo sello. Los lanzamientos ennegrecidos se licenciarán a través de la subsidiaria de Warner, Rhino Entertainment en Norteamérica e internacionalmente a través de Universal Music. El 20 de septiembre de 2012, Metallica anunció a través de su sitio web oficial que en diciembre se lanzará un nuevo DVD que contiene imágenes de espectáculos que realizó en Quebec en 2009; los fanáticos tendrían la oportunidad de votar por dos setlists que aparecerían en el DVD. La película, titulada Quebec Magnetic , se estrenó en los Estados Unidos el 10 de diciembre de 2012. En agosto de 2013 se estrenó la película 3D Metallica: Through the Never​ que contó con la actuación de Dane DeHaan mientras que Nimród Antal la escribió y la dirigió. Fue publicada bajo el sello de Blackened Records. El 8 de diciembre de 2013 la banda realizó un concierto en la base argentina Carlini, para «concienciar sobre la importancia de la Antártida para el planeta». Hubo aproximadamente un centenar de asistentes, incluyendo personal de otras bases cercanas como Uruguay, Chile, Polonia, Corea del Sur, Rusia, Brasil y Alemania. Se siguió un riguroso protocolo sobre impacto ambiental y no se usaron amplificadores durante el recital, el público pudo escuchar a través de auriculares.​​​ Lars Ulrich en una entrevista hecha por Metal Hammer reveló que la banda planea lanzar un nuevo álbum para finales de 2016 o comienzos del 2017, sin especificar detalles, tan sólo diciendo que el nuevo material «...se siente pesado, enérgico, ruidoso, es veloz, es rock, una locura...».​ El álbum será vendido bajo el sello discográfico de la banda.​ El 20 de junio de 2014 Metallica lanzó su nuevo sencillo «Lords of Summer», el cual estrenaron el 16 de marzo durante una gira por Sudamérica en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia​ llamada "Metallica By Request", basada en la idea de que los mismos asistentes a los conciertos, meses antes del recital, reciben un código para votar en línea por las canciones que deseaban escuchar. La idea tuvo una gran acogida entre los seguidores de la banda, y la misma gira se extendió hacia América del Sur, Europa y Canadá, visitando por primera vez países como Ecuador y Paraguay, y presentándose dos veces en Buenos Aires, Argentina. El 18 de agosto de 2016, se dio a conocer el nombre del álbum de estudio llamado Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, el cual fue publicado el 18 de noviembre de 2016.​ Metallica anunció que viajarían a Estados Unidos en el verano de 2017 para el WorldWired Tour . La gira del estadio también incluye Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat y Gojira como actos de apoyo. El 7 de agosto de 2017, Metallica fue invitada nuevamente por los Gigantes de San Francisco para la quinta "Noche de Metallica" anual con Hammett y Hetfield interpretando el himno nacional. En enero de 2018, la banda anunció que volverían a emitir el EP $ 5.98: Garage Days Re-Revisited el 13 de abril para el Record Store Day , y la sexta "Noche Metallica" anual también se anunció unas semanas más tarde, esta vez en abril, con todos los ingresos destinados a la Fundación All Within My Hands, que la banda creó a fines de 2017. En febrero de 2018, la banda anunció un segundo conjunto de fechas de gira por América del Norte, la mayoría de las cuales no habían visitado en treinta años. En marzo de 2019, Metallica anunció que su WorldWired Tour continuaría en Australia y Nueva Zelanda en octubre con Slipknot y Ratt en apoyo. Más tarde ese mes, la banda anunció que actuaría en la gran inauguración del nuevo Chase Center de San Francisco con la Orquesta Sinfónica de San Francisco en septiembre para celebrar el vigésimo aniversario del álbum S&M. Los espectáculos conmemorativos, titulados S&M2, contarán con arreglos de los conciertos originales del S&M, así como nuevos arreglos para canciones grabadas desde entonces, y serán conducidos por el director Edwin Outwatery el director musical de la Sinfónica de San Francisco, Michael Tilson Thomas. En julio, la banda anunció que los espectáculos se proyectarían en más de 3000 teatros en todo el mundo el 9 de octubre, y las entradas saldrán a la venta en agosto. Más tarde ese mes, Metallica anunció un conjunto de fechas de gira sudamericana para abril de 2020 con Greta Van Fleet en apoyo. En una entrevista con la revista australiana The Music en de marzo de 2019, Robert Trujillo dijo que Metallica había comenzado a trabajar en nuevo material para su próximo álbum de estudio. "Estoy entusiasmado con el próximo disco porque creo que también será la culminación de los dos discos [anteriores] y otro viaje. No faltan ideas originales, esa es la belleza de estar en esta banda". Estimó que el álbum se lanzaría "mucho antes de lo que hicieron los dos anteriores. Esta vez creo que podremos saltar más rápido y saltar al estudio y comenzar a trabajar. Todos hemos prometido poner esto en marcha más temprano que tarde". En una entrevista con la revista australiana Mixdown al mes siguiente, Kirk Hammett dijo que la banda tenía planes tentativos para ingresar al estudio después de la conclusión de la WorldWired Tour. Dijo: "Estamos en nuestro tercer año desde Hardwired. Tal vez podamos enfocarnos un poco más e ir al estudio un poco antes". Después de no escribir nada en Hardwired ... to Self-Destruct, Hammett dijo sobre sus ideas para el nuevo álbum: "Tengo un montón de material. He compensado en exceso, así que estoy listo para ir en cualquier momento". A pesar de que en un principio Metallica tocaba thrash metal o a veces speed metal, especialmente en Kill'em All, a lo largo de los años se ha ido modificando su sonido, en especial en Metallica (The Black Album), en el que tomaron un sonido más mainstream.​ Sin embargo, el cambio más importante se da a partir de 1996, con la publicación de Load, en el que se puede oír un sonido mucho más arreglado y cercano al hard rock y al metal alternativo, además de poder apreciarse el claro cambio estético de la banda, mucho más pulcramente vestidos abandonando sus melenas y sus vaqueros rotos y desgastados.​Las influencias musicales del grupo se pueden apreciar en el disco de versiones Garage Days Re-Visited, donde versionan canciones de bandas como Diamond Head, posiblemente su mayor influencia, o The Misfits, aunque también hay que incluir dentro de sus influencias bandas como , Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Venom, Quiet Riot, Kix, Ratt, Nazareth, UFO, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Praying Mantis, Exodus, Accept, Kiss, Motörhead, Van Halen, Saxon , AC/DC, Mercyful Fate, entre otras.​​ Además Metallica ha influenciado a bandas como Apocalyptica,​ Vain​ Pantera,​Kreator, Ratt​ Machine Head,​ Death,​ Cannibal Corpse,​ Sepultura, Winger, ​ The Darkness,​ Slipknot,​ Korn,​ System of a Down,​ Dream Theater,​ As I Lay Dying,​ Avenged Sevenfold,​ Steelheart,​​ Trivium,​ Pretty Boy Floyd,​ Mastodon y Tesla​ Con la publicación del álbum Ride the Lightning, muchos seguidores de la banda quedaron desencantados por la balada "Fade to Black", ya que para los más extremos seguidores del género, las bandas de thrash metal no deberían componer canciones orientadas hacia el "mainstream" como es el caso de dicho tema; sin embargo, con la publicación del álbum homónimo de la banda, dicha polémica se recrudece debido al sonido más cercano al Heavy Metal que al Thrash Metal presente en el álbum, ya hasta entonces en los trabajos anteriores de la banda abundaba un sonido más rápido y frenético en la gran mayoría de los temas. El cambio de sonido del grupo vino de la mano de Bob Rock, el productor del disco, quien había trabajado anteriormente con bandas como Bon Jovi, Tankard o Mötley Crüe, todos ellos con una gran cantidad de discos vendidos a sus espaldas. A pesar de dicha polémica, este fue el trabajo más exitoso en ventas de la banda, con más de 7 millones de copias vendidas solo en EE. UU.,​ a pesar de que éstos seguidores los calificasen como "vendidos" por este hecho.​ Aún con Bob Rock en sus filas, el grupo graba Load y ReLoad, dos discos que presentan un sonido mucho más accesible al público en general, lo que acabó por romper las relaciones de los seguidores más intransigentes de la formación dado el carácter cercano al hard rock de ambos trabajos.​ Además, el hecho de que la banda encabezase festivales alternativos como Lollapalooza ayudó a que ganasen detractores.​ St. Anger proporcionaba un sonido mucho más duro bajo la producción nuevamente de Bob Rock, quien además toca el bajo debido a la dificultad de la banda por encontrar un bajista que supliese la marcha de Jason Newsted. Este álbum tampoco convenció a la mayoría de los seguidores de la banda debido a su orientación hacia el nu metal, a la escasez del virtuosismo de Kirk Hammett, quien no realiza ningún solo en todo el disco, y al sonido de la batería. Sin embargo, el álbum de 2008, Death Magnetic fue, en su mayoría, criticado positivamente debido a que este contiene una mayor influencia al Thrash Metal que cualquier otro álbum desde The Black Album. Dicha recepción volvió a repetirse con álbum de estudio llamado Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, el cual fue publicado el 18 de noviembre de 2016 y recibió elogios por parte de la crítica y fanes. Jason Newsted se introdujo en la banda como sustituto del fallecido Cliff Burton, idolatrado por los fanes, por lo que muchos de estos seguidores no vieron con buenos ojos la llegada de otro bajista al seno del grupo. Además, su manera de tocar fue criticada al ser comparada con el virtuosismo de Burton, ya que este último tocaba el bajo con los dedos en lugar de con una púa, como hacía Newsted. Después de su llegada, el grupo publicó ...And Justice for All, en el cual el sonido del bajo de Newsted resulta casi inaudible. En una ocasión, durante la gira de presentación de dicho trabajo, los restantes miembros del grupo arrojaron todos sus objetos personales por la ventana del hotel en el que se alojaban.​ Según sus propias declaraciones, Newsted explicó: "Era mi sueño hecho realidad. Si vas a llenar los zapatos de Cliff Burton, tienes que ser resistente".​ Este recibió numerosas críticas por ello, que recibió con paciencia hasta el año 2001, en el que decide abandonar la banda para ingresar en Voivod y, posteriormente, fundar su propio proyecto, que llamó Echobrain. Su sustituto fue Robert Trujillo, que añadió al grupo un sonido más duro al haber pertenecido a bandas de hardcore punk como Suicidal Tendencies o Infectious Grooves, aunque quizá el factor principal para la contratación de Trujillo fuese su estilo y capacidad de tocar el bajo, con los dedos al igual que Burton. James Hetfield diría en una entrevista que "sus dedos parecían púas, eran como los de Burton".​ En unas declaraciones posteriores a su salida de la banda, Newsted expuso: "Metallica tiene dos monstruos que controlan, y es muy difícil conseguir algo bueno en ese monopolio".​ La más famosa controversia en la carrera de la banda vino dada por el despido de Dave Mustaine, primer guitarrista del grupo y luego fundador de Megadeth, después de conductas violentas e irresponsables en el seno de la banda.​ En 1983, en Nueva York, Mustaine tiene una discusión con Hetfield y Ulrich cuando la banda iba a reunirse con el productor Jon Zazula. La banda ya harta de las adicciones de Mustaine lo sorprendieron recién levantado en la mañana diciendo que estaba fuera de la banda, siendo despedido y embarcado en un viaje de dos días hasta Los Ángeles, durante el cual decide fundar una nueva banda para vengarse de su despido. Declaró: "Después de ser despedido de Metallica, todo lo que recuerdo es que quería sangre, la suya. Quería ser más rápido que ellos".​ Poco antes de este, Mustaine tuvo varios problemas con Ron McGovney, primer bajista de Metallica, que acabaron con la marcha de este antes de la salida del guitarrista. En aquel momento, Mustaine provocaba todo tipo de contratiempos a los restantes miembros del grupo debido a su adicción al alcohol y a las drogas, con lo que fue despedido de Metallica, introduciendo ésta a Kirk Hammett. Las hostilidades entre Megadeth y Metallica duraron varios años. En una entrevista realizada a James Hetfield en 1999, este dijo: "No somos enemigos y no somos amigos, y creo que es mejor dejarlo así. Durante aquellos años todos estábamos borrachos y pasándolo bien, pero él lo llevó todo demasiado lejos. Era una persona realmente excesiva que tenía que llevarlo todo al límite, lo que incluía el alcohol y las drogas".​ Cuando la banda le pidió a Mustaine que apareciese una entrevista entre él y Lars Ulrich en el documental Some Kind of Monster de 2004, el guitarrista se negó a ello, pero Metallica incluyó dicha entrevista. Mustaine dijo que eso fue "la traición final", y ha abandonado la esperanza de grabar algo con los miembros de la banda. Sin embargo, en el festival de Sonisphere en 2010, Dave Mustaine se presentó en el escenario junto a Metallica, los músicos de Megadeth, Slayer y Anthrax para tocar una versión del tema de Diamond Head "Am I Evil?". Megadeth ha empezado a girar por el mundo con estas 3 bandas bajo el nombre "The Big 4". Pero hay que aclarar que Dave Mustaine dijo que en ese tiempo tenía una terapia por los problemas que sufría en el cuello y tenía que estar en reposo, Dave había rechazado la oportunidad de tocar junto a las demás bandas solo por los problemas, pero el mánager de Metallica lo llamó "m*ricón" lo cual le molestó y dijo que las terapias podían esperar, entonces le dijo al mánager que tocaría en ese festival. Y en 2011, Mustaine hizo varias apariciones especiales en los actos de Metallica cuando celebraban su 30 aniversario, donde Mustaine se abrazaba con los otros miembros y tocó temas como Phantom Lord, Jump in the Fire, Metal Militia y Seek & Destroy.​ Desde 2009 Metallica contribuye activamente en la investigación para el esclarecimiento del crimen de Morgan Harrington, una adolescente de 19 años, fan de la banda, que desapareció ese año durante el concierto que dieron en Charlottesville, Virginia. Su cuerpo fue encontrado meses después y su asesino aún no ha sido identificado. Dos días luego de la desaparición de Harrington, James Hetfield se puso en contacto con los padres de ella y ofreció su ayuda. Desde entonces, ha encabezado anuncios públicos y videos pidiendo testigos para el caso, y colaborado con el FBI en la búsqueda. Asimismo la banda en conjunto sumó US$50.000 a la recompensa, cifra que ascendió a $150.000, creó un fondo estudiantil de $50.000 en memoria de la fallecida, y donó $40.000 al fondo estudiantil del ala de medicina del Instituto Politécnico y Universidad Estatal de Virginia creado en honor a Morgan Harrington. Esta última suma provino de la venta especial de camisetas con la leyenda «Enter Sandman».​ En 2017, crearon la Fundación "All Within My Hands", la cual se dedica a crear comunidades sostenibles mediante el apoyo a la educación para habilitación laboral, la lucha contra el hambre, entre otros aspectos críticos.

This episode of Scandal Water contains adult themes and descriptions of violence. It is not intended for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised. It's the 3rd deadliest nightclub fire in US history and the reason you see a maximum capacity sign posted in every restaurant and bar you enter. Yet many have never heard of the horrific fire that ravaged the Beverly Hills Supper Club in May of 1977, killing 165 people and injuring 200.  Known as the “Showplace of the Midwest,” the opulent, sprawling facility located in Southgate, Kentucky, not only offered event space, but also boasted wildly popular Vegas-style performers and acts.  The evening of May 28, 1977, approximately 1200 people crowded into the cabaret room to see the legendary performer John Davidson, never dreaming their night would end in a nightmare of flames and toxic fumes.  Join us as we revisit not only the circumstances behind the tragic Beverly Hills Supper Club Fire, but also the impact it had on fire safety codes and the mystery that still lingers. #BeverlyHillsSupperClub #SupperClub #Nightclub #USHistory #Deadly #ShowplaceoftheMidwest #1970s #Vegas #Kentucky #TrueCrime #JohnDavidson #ScandalWaterPodcast #Podcast #TuesdayTea #History

In this episode, we had a conversation with ANDMORE Chairman & CEO Bob Maricich, who was recently named as the 2023 Industry Icon Honoree by TSNN. He shared insight into the company he founded in 2011, built over the last 13 years and rebranded with a new name in 2023. Maricich talked about the transition of ownership from Bain Capital and Oaktree Capital Management to Blackstone, which has supported the company's expansion and acquisitions since 2017. Find out how and where the company is investing to transform ANDMORE into an omnichannel wholesale marketmaker for the gift, home furnishings and apparel industries. Podcast host Danica Tormohlen also shared the top five new stories from Trade Show News Network, Exhibit News Now and Corporate Event News that were published in the second half of July 2023. Our guest Bob Maricich is the Chairman and CEO of ANDMORE – formerly International Market Centers (IMC) – the premier omnichannel wholesale marketmaker for the gift, home furnishings and apparel industries.  Maricich was instrumental in envisioning and developing the strategy for the creation of International Market Centers, L.P. In 2011, he founded IMC with sponsors Bain Capital and Oaktree Capital Management raising more than $1B to fund the purchase of the International Home Furnishings Center, the ShowPlace properties, and the Market Square properties in High Point, NC, and merging them with the World Market Center in Las Vegas to form the world's largest operator of premier permanent showroom and tradeshow space for the furnishings, home décor, and gift industries. During the next five years IMC built or purchased five additional buildings in High Point, NC, bringing their total to 17 buildings.  In 2017, Maricich led IMC's transition to new ownership by Blackstone, one of the world's leading investment firms, and Fireside Investments. In 2018 he directed IMC's acquisitions of AmericasMart in Atlanta, GA, and the subsequent acquisition of the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC), creating a compelling portfolio spanning the east and west coasts of the United States that now encompasses more than 22 million square feet of world-class B2B exhibition space.  With the AmericasMart aquisition, IMC also became the managing partner of LightFair, North America's largest architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference as well as owner and operator of the Atlanta Convention Center at AmericasMart which hosts dozens of outside events, meetings and conferences each year. In 2020, despite the Covid shutdown, IMC constructed the 315,000 sf Expo at World Market Center Las Vegas, addressing the lack of downtown Las Vegas exhibit space. In 2022, IMC acquired luxury tradeshow Shoppe Object and has since expanded it dramatically. In 2023, IMC rebranded to ANDMORE repositioning the company as a fully omnichannel marketmaker utilizing digital tools to extend the value of physical markets and fuel year-round opportunities for buyers and sellers to connect and grow. Under Maricich's leadership, ANDMORE serves more than 350,000 global wholesale buyers through its physical markets, design centers and digital channels. It presents some 34 apparel, furniture, gift, home décor and lifestyle markets and buying events – in permanent showroom space and trade show exhibits – in Atlanta; High Point, NC; Las Vegas; and New York. Some 2,200+ exhibitors showcase their products in permanent showroom spaces. It brings in an additional 7,000+ temporary exhibitors in 2 million sf of trade show exhibit space each year. It serves the design trade year-round through showroom offerings and programming at ADAC, AmericasMart and the Las Vegas Design Center. Additionally, it offers digital innovations that optimize the physical market experience.  Maricich joined World Market Center as CEO in January 2008. Prior to that, he spent 11 years as CEO of Century Furniture Industries, a leading luxury furniture manufacturer. From 1989-1996 Maricich was President and CEO of American Drew Furniture and American of Martinsville, at the time the largest manufacturer of furniture for the hospitality industry. Additionally, he was an executive with Flexsteel Industries, R.S Bacon Veneer Company and Texaco.  In 2015, the Anti Defamation League honored Maricich with the American Heritage Award. In 2016 he was honored as Man of the Year by the Tri-State Home Furnishings Association. In 2017, Maricich received the American Heritage Distinguished Service Award from the American Home Furnishings Alliance. In 2019, he was named a Furniture Industry Icon by the International Home Furnishings Representatives Association. Marcich was listed among The Atlantan Magazine's 25 Most Influential People in Atlanta, and also was included in Atlanta Magazine's 500 Most Powerful Leaders in Georgia. In 2021, Maricich was inducted into the American Home Furnishings Hall of Fame, the industry's highest honor.  Maricich has been an active board member for numerous charitable organizations including City of Hope, Opportunity Village, and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Maricich is a graduate of Montana State University with a degree in Civil Engineering. He and his wife, Ande, have been married for 50 years and have three grown sons. He especially enjoys his lifelong passion for fly-fishing.  The Maricich's reside in Key Largo, FL, and Kennebunkport, ME. Connect with Bob on LinkedIn here.  

Tonight's Jazz Feature is one of Charles Mingus' most intense and incendiary recordings. It was done with his core band that worked a long gig with him at a New York club called "The Showplace". The gig was coming to an end and his two horn players were about to leave. As Mingus had just signed a contract with a new independent label called Candid Records, it gave him the opportunity to record the band and so it came to be: "Mingus Presents Mingus". Mingus introduces the tunes as he would in a club and the band is ready to deliver. The core band is just a quartet but what a quartet! Mingus drives the band on bass and drummer Dannie Richmond kicks everyone along with some hard swing. The two horns are Ted Curson on trumpet and Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass clarinet. Many consider this album one of Mingus' most important recordings....listen and you might agree. Tonight's Jazz Feature continues to honor Black History Month with the music of Charles Mingus.

Drummer Lars Ulrich was born into an upper-middle-class family in Gentofte, Denmark, on December 26, 1963. The son of Lone and tennis player Torben Ulrich. In February of 1973, Lars' father obtained passes for five of his friends to check out a Deep Purple (Smoke On the Water) concert held in the same stadium in Copenhagen as one of his tennis tournaments. When one of the dad's friends couldn't go, they gave their ticket to the nine-year-old Lars, who fell in love with the band and ran out and bought their album Fireball the next day. The concert and album greatly impacted Lars, inspiring the start of his music career. He received his first drum kit, a Ludwig, from his grandmother around 12 or 13. Lars initially intended to follow in his father's footsteps and become a badass tennis player, so he moved to Newport Beach, California, in the summer of 1980. Despite being ranked in the top ten tennis players of his age group in Denmark, Lars failed to make it into the seven-man Corona del Mar High School tennis team, solidifying his decision to focus on music.    So, while living in Los Angeles in late 1981, Lars placed an ad in the L.A. newspaper, The Recycler, which read, "Drummer looking for other metal musicians to jam with. Tygers of Pan Tang, Diamond Head and Iron Maiden."    Guitarists James Hetfield and Hugh Tanner of Leather Charm answered the advertisement.    James Alan Hetfield was born on August 3, 1963, in Downey, California, the son of Cynthia Bassett, a light opera singer, and Virgil Lee Hetfield, a truck driver. James was nine years old when he first began piano lessons. He then started jamming on his half-brother David's drums, and finally, at 14, he began to play guitar with Robert Okner. He was also in a few bands as a teenager – one was "Leather Charm" with Hugh Tanner, and another was "Obsession." James said that Aerosmith was his primary musical influence as a child and that they were why he wanted to play guitar. His parents divorced in 1976 when he was 13. They were devout Christian Scientists, and following their beliefs, they strongly disapproved of medicine or any other medical treatment and remained loyal to their faith, even as James' mother, Cynthia, was dying from cancer. This lifestyle inspired many of his lyrics during his career with Metallica. For example, the songs "Dyers Eve" and "The God That Failed" from the albums "...And Justice for All" and "Metallica" touch on those topics. His mother, Cynthia, died of cancer in 1979 when Hetfield was 16 years old. After her death, James went to live with his older half-brother David.   Although he had not formed a band, Lars asked Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel if he could record a song for the label's upcoming compilation album, Metal Massacre. Slagel accepted, and Ulrich recruited Hetfield to sing and play rhythm guitar. Lars and James officially formed the band known as "Metallica" on October 28, 1981, five months after they first met.   A funny story; James' and Lars' first encounter was anything but promising. As Mick Wall wrote in his biography of the band "Enter Night", "neither James nor Hugh had anything good to say about [Lars]. The kid was 'weird' and 'smelled funny' [and] he couldn't even really play drums." Deeming the entire encounter something of a waste, James later recalled (in Wall's bio) that "we ate McDonald's, he ate herring. [Lars'] father was famous. He was very well off. Spoiled – that's why he's got his mouth. He know what he wants, he goes for it and he's gotten it his whole life."   When asked what Lars remembers about their first meet up, in a Blabbemouth.com interview, he said:   "I remember connecting with him," Lars responded. "I could see that, even though he was painfully shy or whatever, that there were some distinctive similarities. I spent six months talking to people about heavy metal, and they'd mention STYX, JOURNEY, KISS or whatever. I'd talk about ANGEL WITCH, DIAMOND HEAD or TYGERS OF PAN TANG. He had a connection to the music and the things I was throwing out there that seemed a little more authentic or trustworthy. Not much happened during that first meeting because he was kind of the wing man, or the plus one, for a guy named Hugh. If James was sitting here, he'd tell you that the drum kit I showed up with was in such bad shape that every time I hit the cymbal, it kept falling over — which is accurate. Hetfield and I ended up staying in touch, and when I came back from travelling in Europe a few months later, I called him up and said, 'Hey, do you want to play and see what happens?' And he was up for it."   The band name, "Metallica," came from Lars' friend Ron Quintana, who was brainstorming names for a fanzine and was considering MetalMania or Metallica. After hearing the two monikers, Lars wanted Metallica for his band, so he suggested Quintana use MetalMania instead. That magazine wound up being a U.S. monthly magazine focusing on heavy metal music, which was published between 1985 and 1991   Guitarist Dave Mustaine replied to an advertisement for a lead guitarist where Lars and James asked him to join after seeing his expensive guitar equipment. In early 1982, Metallica recorded its first original song, "Hit the Lights," for the Metal Massacre I compilation. James Hetfield played bass, and rhythm guitar and sang, while Lloyd Grant was credited with a guitar solo and Lars Ulrich played drums. Lloyd was a Jamaican guitarist who was never officially in the band. Lloyd has said:   "Me and Lars was jammin' down there in Orange County, California and we jam with a few people and we lookin' other people to jam with..." they met through The Recycler. "We were playing for a long time and he came down to my place my apartment once and he says and he keep asking me to come jam with the band, but I was really busy doing other stuff and I went down and play with them-me and him and James. That's three of us. James was playing bass, I was playing guitar and Lars was playing drums and we rehearse that "Hit The Lights" song, but way before that Lars had let me hear that song. We were hanging out watching soccer and he says "hey I met this guy blah blah blah and he's exactly what we want to jam with and he played this one song and it was great and that's how I was first was introduced to "Hit The Lights." After that I went over and jam a few times and he called me and say they gonna be in this compilation album and he brought over a tape of "Hit The Lights" recording on a four track asked me to play some solo for that and they were going to bring the four track down and they were going to bring it down and dump it on the compilation album."   Metal Massacre I was released on June 14, 1982. The early pressings listed the band incorrectly as "Mettallica," pissing the band off. However, the song "Hit The Lights," generated a buzz, and Metallica played their first live performance on March 14, 1982, at Radio City in Anaheim, California. The lineup consisted of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Dave Mustaine, and newly recruited bassist Ron McGovney, who had been in James' previous band, "Leather Charm." Their first live success happened as they were chosen to open for British heavy metal band Saxon at one gig of their 1982 U.S. tour. This show was Metallica's second gig. In addition, Metallica recorded its first demo, Power Metal, whose name was inspired by Quintana's early business cards in early 1982.   In late 1982, Ulrich and Hetfield attended a show at the West Hollywood nightclub Whisky a Go Go, which featured bassist Cliff Burton in the band Trauma.  Clifford Lee Burton was born on February 10, 1962, in Castro Valley, California, to Ray and Jan Burton. Cliff's interest in music began when his father introduced him to classical music, and he began taking piano lessons. In his teenage years, he developed an interest in Rock, classical, country, and heavy metal. He began playing the bass at 13, after the death of his brother. His parents quoted him as saying, "I'm going to be the best bassist for my brother." He practiced up to six hours daily (even after joining Metallica). Besides classical and jazz, Burton's other early influences varied from Southern Rock and country to the blues. Cliff has cited Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Stanley Clarke, Lemmy Kilmister, and Phil Lynott as significant influences on his style of bass playing.   James and Lars were "blown away" by Cliff's use of a wah-wah pedal and asked him to join Metallica. The two leaders wanted Ron McGovney to leave because they thought he "didn't contribute anything, he just followed."  According to McGovney, his time in Metallica was reportedly tumultuous, as he often clashed with Ulrich and Mustaine. In addition, he felt that, aside from using the connections he made as an amateur photographer, his role was that of a money man and transportation provider rather than a respected band member. He ultimately quit on December 10, 1982, due to growing tensions. After leaving Metallica, McGovney became uninterested in playing music and sold most of his equipment.   Although Cliff Burton initially declined the offer to join Metallica, by the end of the year, he had accepted on the condition that the band moves to El Cerrito in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. Metallica's first live performance with Cliff was at the nightclub "The Stone" in March 1983, and the first recording to feature Burton was the Megaforce demo (1983).   Metallica was ready to record their debut album, but they began looking for other options when Metal Blade could not cover the cost. Concert promoter Jonathan "Jonny Z" Zazula, who had heard the demo No Life 'til Leather (1982), offered to broker a record deal between Metallica and New York City-based record labels. After those record labels showed no interest, Zazula borrowed enough money to cover the recording budget and signed Metallica to his label, Megaforce Records.   In May 1983, Metallica traveled to Rochester, New York, to record its debut album, Metal Up Your Ass, which Paul Curcio produced. Unfortunately, the other members of Metallica decided to eject Mustaine from the band because of his drug and alcohol abuse and violent behavior just before the recording sessions on April 11, 1983. About this time, Mustaine told Loudwire magazine:   "When you're around a lot of people that like to drink and get silly, they just want to have fun," Mustaine explains. "I would drink and have fun until someone would refute something I had said. And then that was war, baby. I'd be aggressive and confrontational because I was a violent drunk. I lost all inhibitions when I was drinking, and that didn't go over to well in the end." The end came on April 11, 1983, and it came without warning for Mustaine. Metallica had already hired Kirk Hammett as their new lead guitarist.  At around 9AM that morning, James, Lars, and Cliff woke up Mustaine, suffering from a tremendous hangover, and told him he was out of the band. "The thing that really upset me was that they never gave me a warning and I never got a second chance," Mustaine says. "It was just, 'Hey man. You're out. See ya later."   When Mustaine asked when his flight back to California was, he was told he wasn't flying. He was taking a four-day bus ride. Even worse, the bus was scheduled to leave one hour after he was fired. Mustaine scrambled to pack a travel bag, and James drove him from the Music Building in Queens to 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue in Manhattan.   During the seemingly endless bus ride, according to Livewire.com, he was rightfully pissed for a while and then decided to write some new lyrics. Since he didn't have any paper, he wrote on the back of a handbill from Senator Alan Cranston. A message on the front of the card referred to the stockpiling of nuclear weapons that read, "The arsenal of megadeath can't be rid." After considerable thought, Mustaine decided the term megadeath would make a cool name for a metal band, especially if it were misspelled as Megadeth.   Kirk Lee Hammett was born on November 18, 1962, in San Francisco, California, and raised in the town of El Sobrante. He is the son of Teofila "Chefela" and Dennis L. Hammett, a Merchant Mariner. While attending De Anza High School, he met Les Claypool of Primus, and they remain close friends. Kirk began showing an interest in music after listening to his brother Rick's extensive record collection (which included Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and UFO). In addition, he was a huge horror movie fan but began selling his horror magazines to buy albums. This infatuation led him to pick up the guitar at fifteen. His first guitar was (in his own words) a "wholly unglamorous" Montgomery Ward catalog special that came with a shoebox with a 4-inch speaker for an amp. After purchasing a 1978 Fender Strat copy, Kirk attempted to customize his sound with various guitar parts before eventually buying a 1974 Gibson Flying V.   Guitarist Kirk Hammett replaced Dave Mustaine the same afternoon. Metallica's first live performance with Kirk was on April 16, 1983, at a nightclub in Dover, New Jersey, called "The Showplace."    Mustaine has expressed his dislike for Kirk in interviews, saying he "stole" his job. Mustaine was "pissed off" because he believed Hammett became popular by playing guitar leads that Mustaine had written. In a 1985 interview with Metal Forces, Mustaine said, "it's real funny how Kirk Hammett ripped off every lead break I'd played on that No Life 'til Leather tape and got voted No. 1 guitarist in your magazine".    Because of conflicts with its record label and the distributors' refusal to release an album titled Metal Up Your Ass, the album was renamed "Kill' Em All." It was released on Megaforce Records in the U.S. and on Music for Nations in Europe and peaked at number 155 on the Billboard 200 in 1986. Pretty cool, considering their top ten that year was: 1. That's What Friends Are For - Dionne Warwick, Elton John, and Gladys Knight 2. Say You, Say Me - Lionel Richie 3. I Miss You - Klymaxx 4. On My Own - Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald 5. Broken Wings - Mr. Mister 6. How Will I Know - Whitney Houston 7. Party All the Time - Eddie Murphy 8. Burning Heart - Survivor 9. Kyrie - Mr. Mister 10. Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer Although the album was not initially a financial success, it earned Metallica a growing fan base in the underground metal scene. The band embarked on the "Kill' Em All for One" tour with Raven to support the release. In February 1984, Metallica supported Venom on the "Seven Dates of Hell" tour, during which the bands performed in front of 7,000 people at the Aardschok Festival in Zwolle, Netherlands.    Metallica recorded the album in only two weeks on a shoestring budget. Initially, the band printed 1,500 copies. Since its release, "Kill 'Em All" has been certified 3x platinum. Metallica then recorded their second studio album, Ride the Lightning, at Sweet Silence Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark, from February to March 1984. It was released in August 1984 and reached number 100 on the Billboard 200. Unfortunately, a French printing press mistakenly printed green covers for the album, which are now considered collectors' items. Mustaine received writing credit for "Ride the Lightning" and "The Call of Ktulu."   Elektra Records A&R director Michael Alago, and co-founder of Q-Prime Management Cliff Burnstein, attended a Metallica concert in September 1984. They were impressed with their performance and signed Metallica to Elektra. They also made them a Q-Prime Management artist. Metallica's growing success was such that the band's British label Music for Nations released "Creeping Death" as a limited-edition single, which sold 40,000 copies as an import in the U.S.  Two of the three songs on the record—cover versions of Diamond Head's "Am I Evil?" and Blitzkrieg's "Blitzkrieg"—appeared on the 1988 Elektra reissue of "Kill' Em All."  With unforgettable songs like "For Whom The Bell Tolls," "Creeping Death," and "Fade To Black", "Ride The Lightning" has sold over 5 million copies in the U.S. and has been certified 5x Platinum by the RIAA.   That bell in the beginning of "For Whom The Bell Tolls", isn't really a bell at all. As producer Flemming Rasmussen recalled: “We had an anvil in the studio, and Lars had to bang that; it could've been that or from a record of sound effects. But there was a really heavy, cast-iron anvil and a metal hammer, and we stuck them in an all-concrete room. He'd just go wang.”  If you've ever tried to play along with the studio album version of "For Whom, The Bell Tolls, " you've probably had some guitar tuning issues. That's because the song is a quarter step above standard tuning. Why? As the Metallica Wiki says, there are two theories. The first is that the band intentionally sped up the recording, pitch shifting it in the process. The second is that the guitars are tuned up a quarter step to match the pitch of the "tolling bells." I mean anvil... now that's "metal AF". Metallica embarked on its first major European tour with Tank to an average crowd of 1,300. Returning to the U.S., it embarked upon a tour co-headlining with W.A.S.P. and supported by Armored Saint, featuring John Bush on vocals, who later went on to front Anthrax. Metallica played its largest show at the Monsters of Rock fest at Donington Park, England, on August 17, 1985, with Bon Jovi and Ratt, playing to 70,000 people. Then, at the "Day on the Green" festival in Oakland, California, the band played to a crowd of 60,000. Metallica's third studio album, Master of Puppets, was recorded at Sweet Silence Studios in Denmark from September to December 1985 and was released in March 1986. The album reached number 29 on the Billboard 200 and spent 72 weeks on the chart. It was the band's first album to be certified gold on November 4, 1986 and has sold over 6 million copies.    In 2015, Master of Puppets became the first ever metal album in history to be selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.   Following the album's release, Metallica supported Ozzy Osbourne on a U.S. tour. During this time, James Hetfield broke his wrist while skateboarding; he continued with the tour, performing vocals, with guitar technician John Marshall playing rhythm guitar.   On the night of Sept. 26, 1986, Metallica was traveling between tour dates in Sweden when Burton and guitarist Kirk Hammett drew cards to decide who would get to choose a bunk. The bassist drew the Ace of Spades and chose the bunk Hammett had been occupying. "I said fine, take my bunk," the guitarist recalled in VH1's Behind the Music. "I'll sleep up front; it's probably better anyway." In the early morning of Sept. 27, 1986, shortly before 7 AM, the band members were awakened abruptly when the bus began to sway from side to side. The driver later told authorities that he lost control of the bus after hitting a patch of black ice. The bus left the road and flipped over on its side, and Cliff Burton – asleep in the top bunk – was thrown through the window. As the bus came down, it landed on top of him. He was only 24 years old. Reportedly, attempts were made to rescue him from underneath the bus by lifting it with a crane, but the crane slipped, and the bus crashed down on top of Burton a second time. Band members and onlookers have given different accounts of whether Burton died upon the first impact or when the bus came down again. Whichever way it happened, Cliff Burton died at the scene.   Hetfield said: "I saw the bus lying right on him. I saw his legs sticking out. I freaked. The bus driver, I recall, was trying to yank the blanket out from under him to use for other people. I just went, 'Don't fucking do that!' I already wanted to kill the bus driver. I don't know if he was drunk or if he hit some ice. All I knew was, he was driving and Cliff wasn't alive anymore."   James has said he walked up and down the road in his socks and underwear looking for black ice and found none. The band has speculated over the years if drinking or drugs could have played a role in the accident or if the driver fell asleep at the wheel. An investigation cleared the driver of any wrongdoing. Burton was cremated, and his ashes were scattered at the Maxwell Ranch in California. Metallica's "Orion" was played at the ceremony, and lyrics from "To Live Is to Die" are engraved upon his memorial stone: "Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation take me home."   In an interview with Gibson TV, Kirk Hammet, who could have been the one in that unlucky bunk said: "The last show that we played with Cliff was a spectacular show," Kirk recalls in the interview. "It was the first show after maybe six or seven weeks when James was back on guitar because he had broken his arm during the Ozzy tour. His arms was healed enough so he was able to play guitar and it was the first show where we had James back… and it was the night that Cliff died. "Everyone was just so happy James was back and to have James's guitar fuelling everything again, rather than me and John Marshall [tech and stand-in guitarist] sharing that duty. We played really, really well and felt like we were back 100%… so that last show was one of the best shows we'd played all fucking year and in retrospect I'm glad Cliff's last show was special in that regard. It really was, in all respects, one of the best shows we'd played and Cliff was very, very happy. So knowing that is a good thing." "It' didn't really, truly sink in until about three weeks or so [afterwards]," Hammett remembers. "As a tribute to Cliff's memory it was important for us to go on [but for] those first two weeks it was up and down, we had no idea what we were going to do. I was taking guitar lessons, the old standby for musicians who can't find any gigs or band. That's what I was actually thinking."

Episode 12

Our GPS coordinates take us back to the "City of Brotherly Love" this week for a fond, first-person reminiscence of Philadelphia's legendary Spectrum - with one of its chief managerial architects, Lou Scheinfeld ("Blades, Bands and Ballers: How 'Flash and Cash' Rescued the Flyers and Created Philadelphia's Greatest Showplace"). A state-of-the-art indoor sports and events mecca upon its opening in September of 1967, the facility dubbed "America's Showplace" was Philly's first ​true ​modern indoor arena - built ​quickly (in roughly a year) and specifically for the city's new NHL expansion franchise (the Flyers) - one that Scheinfeld and NFL Eagles co-owners Ed Snider, Jerry Wolman and Earl Foreman helped originally secure.   The Spectrum was an instant hit for the freshman Flyers - and for the defending NBA champion 76ers, who also joined the tenant roster that first year - as well as the darling of top rock artists and concert promoters, immediately enamored with the facility's surprisingly top-notch acoustics.   And of course, a bevy of forgotten sports events and franchises that we love to obsess about, including some of our all-time favorites: the NASL's Philadelphia Atoms 1974 indoor exhibitions with the Soviet Red Army team that eventually launched the MISL and its Philadelphia Fever in 1978; the multi-league indoor lacrosse Wings; Billie Jean King's WTT Philadelphia Freedoms; the Bulldogs of the mid-90s' Roller hockey International; and much more.

Welcome to episode 32 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. This week my guest is Steve Steiner, Producing Artistic Director for the Surflight Theatre.The same day this podcast goes LIVE, the Surflight Theatre is also being featured on Good Morning America. Steve was born in Chicago, but left at a young age and grew up in St. Louis. He actually thought he would wind up in the family business, which was a paint manufacturing company. He did work for the paint manufacturing company for a short time in college. However, during his college years Six Flags Park was hiring and he auditioned. That became a life changer for Steve as he never truly has stopped performing. His career either on the stage performing or being behind the stage making the magic happen has spanned now over 50 years. Recently, Steve was Daddy Warbucks in Surflight Theatre's production of 'Annie'.  Following several years as a professional musician, playing 11 instruments at the height of his career,  Steve headed to NY at age 30 to give Broadway a try. Over the next 16 years he was working non-stop, including making it to Broadway in shows like Anything Goes, The Buddy Holly Story, and State Fair. Steve made his way from on the stage to making the magic happen on the stage at the Surflight Theatre. Last summer due to COVID and a storm, there were many challenges to overcome in order to keep the Surflight Theatre running. However, due to the resiliency of Steve, his team, and some incredible volunteers performers were able to take the stage and audiences were able to escape through the stories they told under a big top tent. At the Surflight Theatre you not only experience Broadway quality shows, but also shows specifically made for children, comedy and musical acts. Listen in to hear about the incredible apprenticeship program that Surflight has created for kids to learn about all the aspects of bringing shows to life. The Surflight Theatre is also connected to the Showplace Ice Cream Parlour. Showplace is an icon in Beach Haven, NJ. The ice cream sundaes are named after Broadway shows or song titles. The patrons become part of the act, and then the waitresses and waiters, also known at Showplace as waitri, put on an amazing show for the audience as they indulge in their decadent ice cream masterpieces. Listen in to hear more about Steve's journey and his answer to, 'if I knew then what I know now'. Please go to Surflight Theatre for information on their current performance line-up. My next guest is Victoria Magliacane. Victoria is Senior Vice President, Investors Bank & Integrative Health Coach, Lavendar Lifestyle. Victoria shares about a very personal experience that was  life changing. Many of us get tied to our success through our titles and the roles we play professionally. Sometimes it take something unexpected to make us see things a bit differently.

This is Stephan Galfas' FIRST interview! Stephan Galfas has worked with hundreds of artists, spanning over 5 decades, including Meat Loaf, The Allman Brothers, John Waite, and Kool and The Gang, to name only a few. He was also the owner of the House of Music in West Orange, NJ, a recording studio where dozens of classic albums were made. One such album Stephan produced at the House of Music was Tasty by the Good Rats. I first saw the Good Rats in the late 70's at the Asbury Park Convention Center. They were the opening act and on a bill with Dicky Betts and Eddie Money. At first glance, they were an odd band with a caveman look. The lead singer sported gym shorts and wore knee high tube socks.  Most of the set he swung a baseball bat and sometimes smashed a metal garbage can with the bat. The rest of the band looked like they'd surely be on a modern-day no fly list. They played their asses off and were beyond entertaining. They exuded humor and irony. Their songs were a twisted mix of different genres, and reminiscent of KISS or Black Sabbath, with a touch of George Gershwin thrown in. Their set was tight, well polished. Background vocals were impeccable, in tune, well- rehearsed, with intricate arrangements and harmonies.  These guys were nothing short of total pros and played a 30 minute set with intent to slay the audience. And that they did. Soon after, I discovered that, although heralding from Long Island, NY, they were popular staples in the bars in northern New Jersey, near my hometown of Randolph. I would go on to see them live many times, mostly at The Showplace, in Dover, NJ where they were regulars. They never disappointed and I've been a serious fan ever since. From the very first moment that Stephan and I spoke together, it was all Good Rats. It seemed that after many years, he needed an outlet and to be heard about the Good Rats. The faucet opened on how they worked together, and how they produced a body of such unique albums of songs. From my end, my head was swimming with questions that my mouth couldn't speak fast enough. I simply had too many. The conversation you're about to hear is a bit long, yet I couldn't justify editing it into 2 separate parts, as the interview flowed naturally from one point to the next. I hope you enjoy it. Let's listen in. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brian-doherty8/support

Radio City Music Hall is an entertainment venue at 1260 Avenue of the Americas, within Rockefeller Center, in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Nicknamed the Showplace of the Nation, it is the headquarters for the Rockettes, the precision dance company. It opened on December 27, 1932, as part of the construction of Rockefeller Center. The 5,960-seat Music Hall was the larger of two venues built for Rockefeller Center's "Radio City" section, the other being Center Theatre. It was largely successful until the 1970s, when declining patronage nearly drove the Music Hall to bankruptcy. Join us when Rosemary Novellino-Mearns, former member of the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Company and Dance Captain, and author of "Saving Radio City Music Hall: A Dancer's True Story," shares her delightful, informative, and true story of saving Radio City Music Hall. Rosie headed the group that took on the money interests that had decided to demolish the classic Art Deco masterpiece and one of New York City's premiere tourist attractions. https://www.amazon.com/SAVING-RADIO-CITY-MUSIC-HALL-ebook/dp/B016CMON7K https://www.facebook.com/rosie.novellinomearns https://craighill.net/2012/12/27/december-27-1932-radio-city-music-hall-opens https://www.facebook.com/SavingRadioCityMusicHall/

Cleveland's Millionaires' Row was the place where the elite built their grand mansions in the early 1900s. Industry was booming and men like Marcus Hanna, Amasa Stone, Samuel Andrews, Charles F. Brush and John D. Rockefeller picked this sixth largest city in America as their home. These were some of the most powerful men in the country and their street would be known as the "Showplace of America." All but four of these mansions would eventually be demolished. They are a testament to the past and hold on to their spirits. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of Cleveland's Millionaires' Row.

Run by six, partner organizations – the U.S. Forest Service, the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Wisconsin Historical Society, the University of Wisconsin Extension and the Friends of the Center Alliance, the NGLVC is hosting a day-long event on Sept. 29 packed with activities for everyone.   Starting at 8:30 a.m., you can sign up to participate in a native grass planting on the property.  There will be book signings by area authors and a visit by the artist who painted the huge mural on the back wall of the center. In addition, a ribbon cutting ceremony is planned for the new exhibit documenting the Center’s $2 million Energy Renovation Project. U.S. Fish & Wildlife staff will lead guided hikes on the boardwalk trails. Plus, there will be Junior Ranger activities hosted by the National Park Service and appearances by Smokey the Bear. There will also be face painting and prizes for scavenger hunts. Throughout the day, visitors will have a chance to participate in voting for the winner of an art contest where artists submit photos of artwork that has been inspired in some way by the Visitor Center. The artwork can be anything from paintings and drawings to pottery or woodcarvings or whatever medium the artists choose. Artists who want to enter can find out more on the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the NGLVC Facebook Events page. The artist with the most votes will win a cash prize. Visitors won’t want to miss “Who Goes Bump in the Night,” an evening hike on the NGLVC’s boardwalk to listen to the owls and other night critters. The NGLVC is open 7 days a week, except holidays. Many of the exhibits are interactive with local personalities featured in interviews portraying commercial fishermen, loggers, Native Americans and others, and sharing stories of the past.  For those who have an interest in Lake Superior, shipwrecks or lighthouses, there is a great collection of books, some with rare titles, in the Gift Shop. And you don’t want to miss the breathtaking views from the NGLVC’s five-story Observation Tower with spotting scopes.   Apostle Islands Lighthouse Celebration From now through Sept. 15, the community is celebrating the largest collection of lighthouses located in a national park in the United States. The celebration includes guided cruises to all six lighthouses. Every lighthouse is different, so every cruise, conducted by Apostle Islands Cruises, is a different experience. Mary Grant coordinates all of the cruises from her Keeper of the Light Gift Shop in Bayfield. She says her favorite lighthouse is on Sand Island. After the cruise over to Sand Island, you’ll take a two-mile hike through beautiful, old-growth forest to get to the lighthouse, which built with Brownstone that was quarried from the island. The “Showplace of the Apostle Islands,” according to Mary, is the Raspberry Island Lighthouse. It’s the easiest lighthouse to get to (although there are quite a few steps once you arrive) and is a duplex with furnishings from the early 1900s. This is a living history exhibit, where your guide dresses up as the Keeper and gives you a tour of the lighthouse from his perspective.   There are very few Lighthouse Keepers left. New technology has made it no longer necessary to have working lighthouses, which for many years served as beacons to safely guide mariners through the waterways surrounding the Apostle Islands and into the protected waters of the bay. Mary says there are lots of great stories about the lighthouses the guides love to talk about. One haunted tale involved a cruise to Raspberry Island, where during the tour, the group heard cries from a young girl coming from the Assistant Keeper’s quarters. When they asked their tour guide who was crying next door, the guide assured them there was no one there. When the group returned from their cruise, they learned there was an Assistant Keeper who lived on the island with his family, and one of his children was a girl about the same age. Needless to say, they were all quite spooked. Mary tells another story from Michigan Island, where the head keeper and his assistant went on a fishing trip. They left behind the Keeper’s wife and three children. Gone for several days, the wife, who was raised in the city, had to figure out how to milk the cow. You’ll laugh at how she made it work. The lighthouse tours run daily through September 15. If you love lighthouses, you will want to stop in at Mary’s Keeper of the Light Gift Shop, which is a lighthouse specialty store. As part of the celebration, there is a photography presentation by Mark Weller and a live musical performance called “Lake Songs & Lighthouses” by Warren Nelson, performed at the Harbor View Event Center in Washburn.

In this week's episode we feature Walter Cole, you might know him by his stage name, Darcelle. Walter was born and raised in Portland, and in the 60's bought a tavern that became the Darcelle XV Showplace. He started dressing in drag shortly after he bought the tavern and in 2016 Darcelle was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the World's Oldest Drag Queen.

Jim O’Donnell - Libraries as Showcase, Showplace and Showroom On today’s episode we talk with Jim O’Donnell about the ongoing renovations of the Hayden Library on the campus of Arizona State University, and their goal to make the library a showcase, showplace and showroom for ASU students. Jim also shares his thoughts on taking inspiration from the world of retail to shape the future of academic libraries. We had several challenges to deal with in the production of this week’s show. The first of which was carving time out of Jim O’Donnell’s busy schedule. Jim had just returned from the 19th Annual Fiesole Collection Development Retreat in Lille, France the day before. This was the same conference that Leah Hinds attended as representative for Against The Grain. Due to the time difference between us on the east coast and Arizona State University, Jim started what was to become a very busy week for him by speaking with us at 7:30 in the morning his time. The other challenge involved the ever-present complexities of conducting remote interviews using the Internet. Each participant in today’s discussion was in a different location as usual, and between intermittent Internet connection dropouts and some occasional noise coming from Jim O’Donnell’s headset, our audio quality suffered a bit at times. Sound issues aside however, Dr. O’Donnell provided us with excellent insights we’ve come to expect from him. Our interviewer’s today are Tom Gilson, Associate Editor of Against The Grain; and Katina Strauch, Editor in Chief of Against the Grain and founder of the Charleston Conference. Dr. O’Donnell received his bachelor of arts degree at Princeton and doctorate from Yale. He served as provost and professor of classics at Georgetown University for a decade, after a career at Bryn Mawr, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania where he served as Vice Provost for Information Systems and Computing. He is a fellow of the Medieval Academy of America and served as president of the American Philological Association. He now chairs the board of directors of the American Council of Learned Societies. Dr. O’Donnell was a pioneer in the scholarly study of late antiquity. His edition of Augustine's *Confessions* is a standard, while his most recent books, Augustine: A New Biography, The Ruin of the Roman Empire, and Pagans bring cutting-edge scholarship to a wide audience. Dr. O’Donnell is also recognized as an innovator in the application of networked information technology in higher education having authored the book Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace. In 1990, he co-founded the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students which deserves to be called the first MOOC. Currently, he is leading Arizona State University library through a reorganization process that includes a multimillion dollar renovation of the main Hayden library. As one of his colleagues has so aptly put it “Jim O'Donnell is both a brilliant scholar and a visionary about the future of information. He knows how to put together leadership teams, even as he thinks creatively about the nature of knowledge for students, researchers and the community.”  

This set was recorded in October 1960 for the new Candid label. Writer and close Mingus friend Nat Hentoff was the producer and Mingus brought his core band in a reunited effort to capture the music that Mingus had played on a long gig at a Greenwich Village club called "The Showplace". There were no recordings from there and this date was set up to capture the excitement and creativity of that gig. It worked! Mingus did the announcements as if they were in the club and the band played for their lives. Just four musicians in this edition of The Jazz Workshop. Multi-instrumentalist and innovator Eric Dolphy is heard in bass clarinet and alto saxophone. Trumpeter Ted Curson has never sounded better than here and he and Dolphy are a perfect match. Mingus is of course a powerhouse on bass and drummer Dannie Richmond achieves maturity right here with some of his best playing. "Mingus Presents Mingus" stands as one of Charles Mingus' finest ststements and one of his best recordings and captures what this band really sounded like.
