[@meggyhuynh5053]

Young Y2J with the long blond hair always gave me '85-86' James Hetfield vibes 🤘

[@jason.h.zager88]

@@cliffsenac2825 Yea but Chris was better looking he looked much cooler!

[@mshafer2006]

Much love for Bob Rock, as a Metallica fan for the last 30 years his influence on Metallica throughout the years shows he had a big part in what they did

[@seekthevisceral]

Bob looks like one of my favorite college professors. And Chris always looks like a rockstar. Not just a wizard.

[@leonidaspapanikolaou3165]

Fantastic producer. A true legend.

[@michiganjack1337]

I'm listening to the full episode right now. Great to see Bob doing well.

Bob Rock was the 5th member of Metallica.

[@georgen5882]

I think Bob was the best thing to happen to them from a musical standpoint in some ways. He taught them to try new things, to think differently, not just do what they do because that's how they do it. And for better and worse they did try new things, some were good and some were bad, and not all were received well of course. After Justice they really needed guidance. Justice is a great album, probably their best overall, but they needed help musically to bring out the best performances for all the members. It was kind of sad things went the way they did, I don't think Bob has any bad feelings but I felt like they just kind of dropped him after St. Anger. He seems like a really good dude, though.

[@kylehoulihan3875]

Composition wise and musically their best work is the 3 before Bob?

[@lancemanyon7645]

@@kylehoulihan3875 Ride the Lightning, Master and And Justice are 3 of the greatest albums of all time in any genre of music and they were from the same band and in a row, even after the death of Cliff. I have been a Metallica fan since those early days and love many styles of music but the appreciation for those absolute prime years is there forever

[@fatimapalacios2292]

They improved from the point of not getting stuck and dying, just adapting.

[@tommyb8374]

Wanna see bob rock do 1 more album with Metallica

[@fatimapalacios2292]

With their current mentality, it would be a second black album, and that could only go two ways: best album of the band, or worst album ever. And you know Metallica obsessed fans will start complaining because they want them to release And Justice For All over and over.

[@tommyb8374]

@@fatimapalacios2292 fair point

[@heybuddywazup]

​​@@fatimapalacios2292with is a second black album? Load and Reload weren't second Black albums, Rock produced those two.

[@jaizarulrohayu44]

Legendary bob rock🎉🎉🎉

[@JPX64Channel]

wow a great wrestler and producer !

[@LuisRdzG10]

Holy shit I haven’t seen Bob Rock in 20+ years… yeah… he got the grandpa look now.

[@kylebell6955]

You mean grandma look 😂 but seriously, much respect to BR

[@JosueGarcia-lt9gb]

The other guy's name is Mr Flemming Ramussen. 3 of the best metallica's albums, is because of him. Black album is so comercial with a great sound

[@tun-tunninc.6492]

Jericho is such a busy, busy guy for his age...

[@chrisjericholegend]

❤Chris love u

[@michaelcaywood6070]

Chris Jericho can never beat “The Ring General.”

[@ВикторВаленитнов]

Bob Rock respect 🤘🇷🇺

[@Louis275]

I've always wondered if Metallica made the Black album or any of their previous albums today using today's technology would it have sounded better or taken as long to do?? Or on the reverse side suppose 72 Seasons were recorded 30 years ago would it have sounded as good as it does today??

[@victor-ed4rp]

Hi 👋🙏

[@hellionsentinel]

I thought Jericho didn’t like the Black album (as mentioned in his book)

[@fatimapalacios2292]

he doesn't but he understands the change of direction and respects that musically. Did you thought he would interview Bob saying "That album was shit, ya hear?!"

[@Nichwar19]

He maybe didnt at first but he likes loads so

[@BTBAM310]

From the thumbnail I thought that was Joe Elliott 😂

[@zackvanhalen]

I think James' first ballads were Fade to Black, Sanitarium, and One. I don't think his vocals on Black Album were any more refined or commercial sounding then those songs. The big difference is that Nothing Else Matters had no heavy parts to balance out the more pop sounding vocals.

[@BobCob-ug3el]

It actually did have heavy parts - high gain distortion stabs towards the ends of each chorus, and there's the high gain distorted rhythm guitars in the background playing big ringing chords during the solo. But yeah it is different to their other songs in terms of heavy parts.

[@grantfurr580]

Peace brother can i try this dress on.....James Hetfield to Bob Rock

[@adamgreenwood888]

Ahem "Enemy" is better, so putting Austin over cool man, Sabu and you I don't think I've ever seen it fans will dig nice

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

Bob Rock was a blessing in the beginning but he almost broke Metallica by the time they released St. Anger.

[@searchand_destroy666]

Imo, it was the band's firm decision to head into that direction which of course was a lot of misses than hits when they released it. Lars had made it clear to always challenge the fans over the years. St. Anger has a few songs that I like, be it Frantic, Dirty Window, St Anger and Shoot Me Again. Honestly, watching the St.Anger video as a kid is what got me into Metallica, lol. Bob was there acting as the producer and advisor for the most part.

[@theyesman]

First?

[@theyesman]

What a tough guy I am 😂

[@mooch514]

Tom werman and bob rock both said sixx sucks and didnt play on the records. I guess $$$ and or a lawsuit got to them. Hypocrites. Nikki sixx is the worst bass player in rock history

[@jaslunamalfoy]

Fozzy is the vanilla ice of metal just one good song that’s it an that’s what fozzy is known for 1 hit wonder as a metal fan it’s a disrespect to call themselves a metal band the big 4 is metal sabbath metal Motörhead an so on fozzy is a pro wrestling band only people that listen is aew fans Jericho sucks

[@GHelton]

I'm sorry, but Fozzy is a much better band than Metallica!

[@MurderMonsta]

I Still Burn is awesome!
