Real Men Feel: Andy Grant's Metallica Journey

1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,520
Holy fucking shit if there's
something in your life that you

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:08,760
love as much as I love
Metalligan.

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,520
I just walked out of the third
show I've seen this week all

4
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,200
free from the pit.
I said there was be no real Men

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,320
Field show this week by him.
Oh my God, that's our ball.

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,120
I thought.
I thought it was all out of my

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,120
emotion.
Every time I think about

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:31,080
recording this and trying to
tell you how much this band,

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,120
this music, his fans fucking
mean to me, I got choked up and

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,040
it's still happening.
I got to meet Lars and Rob

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,080
today.
This.

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,760
This tour for me started last
Saturday in Syracuse, NY and I

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,640
won Snake Pit Passes on the way
to the show.

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,880
And for these two shows in
Toronto that just ended, I had

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,080
purchased Snake Pit Passes.
Actually, I purchased the top of

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,280
the line psychotic package that
gets me autographed, set lists

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,640
from each night, poster from
each night.

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,120
I had a tour of the stage on
Thursday.

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,720
I got to meet Lars and Rob today
and Metallica has a new

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,720
documentary coming out called
Metallica Saved My Life.

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,960
So in the Q and AI told Lars and
Rob about real men feel and that

22
00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:21,160
it's focused on men's mental
health and preventing suicide.

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,000
And I say, with Metallica Saved
My Life coming out, what would

24
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,840
it take to get somewhere from
the band to give me 20 minutes

25
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,720
on the show?
And Lars like, Oh, well, we

26
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,760
don't know.
We're doing day-to-day.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,760
I said, I made a firm commitment
now just will you help me make

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840
it happen?
And he's like, yes, I we when we

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,920
start doing the press for this
movie, I'm sure that a member of

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Metallica can give you 20
minutes or more.

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,680
And so if you say this important
work that you're doing and we

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,280
appreciate it and I will start
balling fucking there.

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,600
This this fucking week has been
full of so many peak

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,600
experiences.
Each show had just gotten

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920
better.
The people of Canada are

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,360
freaking amazing.
Thank you Canada for knowing

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,680
that they just become American.
Doesn't mean I am fucking love

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,479
tariffs and hate immigrants and
I'm not some fucking redheaded

39
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:11,039
asshole.
This city is so freaking

40
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,520
welcoming.
Toronto has been amazing.

41
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,320
I've come here often for the
Modern Mystery School, but I've

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,200
never had time to come and
explore the city.

43
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,560
I want to go on a food tour.
This like every nation has like

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,440
5 restaurants here.
It's amazing.

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,360
It's so walkable and again,
everybody's been so cool and

46
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,200
open.
I love just walking around the

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,200
town for the last five days and
just having people yell

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Metallica have me.
I'm out of my fucking head.

49
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,360
I hope this show makes some sort
of sense.

50
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,240
And again why I'm sharing this,
it's because I hope there's

51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,000
something in your life that
means this fucking much to you.

52
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,400
As I walk in the traffic and you
get run over.

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,400
It will be worth it.
That's how amazing this week has

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:36,360
been.
All right, so beginning in

55
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Syracuse when snake could passes
on the way up there, big

56
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
surprise.
The place was tiny and the pit

57
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,920
was at moment a pit than in in
most seats I've had.

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:54,920
And let's see, I got a pic there
Thursday night show backstage

59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
tour.
And I got to be on Metallica's

60
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,120
stage before they started and I
got a fist bump from Zack Wilde.

61
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,240
Then Titillate got a high 5 from
the lead singer of Ice 9 Kills.

62
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,320
And I got a fist bump from the
bassist for Limp Bizkit and Limp

63
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,400
Bizkit.
Surprisingly fun.

64
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,079
I'd seen them back on Oz Fest in
the mid 90s when they first came

65
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:22,880
out and they got the crowd
going.

66
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,200
It was freaking sick.
And then the meet and greet,

67
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,440
usually it's been Robin Kirk's.
That's what I was prepared for.

68
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,120
So Lars and Rob came through
like, and because if you don't

69
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,040
know, Laws likes to talk.
So I knew we'd have a long time

70
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,720
with him and we had like 40
minutes and he loved my

71
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,800
metaphysical shirt and said his
dad would have loved it.

72
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,400
So I really thought if I saw him
out in the show, that would get

73
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,120
me a stick.
But it didn't work for me.

74
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,920
But it did work for my buddy
Sipka, who's from Holland.

75
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,800
I saw it from across the stage
that Laws go.

76
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,440
Holland points to him and hands
him a drumstick.

77
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,920
So the Q&A, the meet and greet
did help some of us, but Kirk

78
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,920
who I didn't meet, they're
hearing the meet and greet last

79
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,440
saw Sandman on stage.
He stops in front of me staring

80
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,640
at me.
Then I realize he's reading my

81
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,720
shirt and he goes great shirt.
So let's that's even better than

82
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,480
a pic.
But then did get lots of pics.

83
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,880
I got a handful of pics because
at the meet and greet I had been

84
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,760
to the most shows with 46.
Luckily Jessica, the woman I met

85
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,840
yesterday who has been to 241
was not with me.

86
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,920
I would have won nothing but
what a good time.

87
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Loved hanging out with Sipka,
with ROM, with Paul, with Mike,

88
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,200
Michael and Mike.
So many cool people.

89
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,680
People from all over the
freaking world.

90
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,240
Metallica travel is the best
travel.

91
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,120
All right, they'll be more
later.

92
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,880
Take care of yourselves.
Be good.

93
00:06:44,040 --> 00:08:37,360
Bye.
None.

94
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:12,840
The.
