SHOCKWAVES/HARDRADIO PODCAST #31: Host Bob Nalbandian discusses metal music and the state of the music business from an A&R perspective with one of the most respected and knowledgeable record company executives when it comes to metal music: Roadrunner Records A&R chief Monte Conner. In this 45-minute discussion Monte talks about the history of Roadrunner Records, gives advice to young metal bands in search of a record deal, and talks about the future of the recording business as well as the future for heavy metal and extreme metal. Also on this episode Bob Nalbandian lays out yet another 10 classic metal riffs/leads for the biggest contest in Shockwaves/HardRadio history!

The Good, The Mad, and the Ugly, Steffan Chirazi, as well as Lars's earliest metal comrade and NWOBHM connoisseur John Kornarens for an extraordinary 3-way conversation exploring the earliest years of Metallica's unbelievable journey into becoming the world's biggest heavy metal band. In this profound conversation, the three share their very earliest experiences with this monumental band as well as discuss such compelling topics as Metallica's early LA club performances, the impact of the No Life Till Leather demo and the contributions from the original/former band members, as well as the controversial "selling-out" issue.
