Thunder-Stuff A Sound of Thunder

For all you listeners who ever wondered how to join a band, Slipknot's Sid Wilson has the answer...and it's violent! We discuss whether metal should stay "underground" and what that even means. And we pay tribute to Mick Mars for making it out of Motley Crue with his dignity intact and his wang unseen by the public!
