Guest host Kevin Rapillo (Nashville touring/session drummer) joins Clint to revisit 1984’s Ride the Lightning. In 1984 Kevin was going to Berkley School of Music in Boston, MA trying to make it big with his band Kid Crash, who would go on to sign a major label record deal. Before burning down Lightning, Clint and Kevin talk about the metal scene in the early 80’s, the almost insane competitive tenacity of youth and how that’s essential for success, the Scorpions, Lars’ drumming, the massive artistic leap from KEA to RTL and which Boston accent was the worst in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed. Enjoy!
