Summary

On this episode Clint and Ethan sat down together (after some grueling touring) to talk in depth about the recent news that James Hetfield has once again entered rehab, postponing the highly anticipated Australian/New Zealand stadium tour. The news shocked the Metallica family and left us all wondering and worried about the frontman of our favorite band. After receiving a ton of e-mails about the issue MUYP decided to take an entire episode to respond to some of the questions some of you had concerning the future of the band and James himself. It's important to note that nothing more is known beyond the initial statement made by the other three members of Metallica. This conversation exists as a forum for those of us concerned and unsure about the future. We send all of our love and respect to James, the band, and the entire Metallica family and look forward to getting Papa Het back happy and healthy and ready to continue to lead us all in this journey together called Metallica. Other fun tangents in this episode include: - Clint gives Ethan a a gift - Ethan gives Clint a gift - independent record stores as spiritual journeys - Strange Maine - The Spin Doctors, Counting Crows, and the wonderful dorkiness of the 90's - Tales From the Crpyt and old EC comics from the 50's - personal experience with addiction and sobriety - how the music industry interfaces with addiction - Clint's new version of "Turn the Page" from the forthcoming COWB, Vol. 4 **Cover Our World Blackened, Volume III is out now!** Elusively for patrons, this covers EP contains songs by Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Nirvana.
