Heavy Metal News & Interviews: The Loaded Radio Podcast

Show Notes

Knocked Loose have quietly become the single biggest donor to Jamie Ulshoffer, the woman left paralysed when a man fell from a tree onto her during the band's Louder Than Life set. No statement, no press release — just $8,000. Scott Penfold on who actually ends up carrying this. Also: Jamey Jasta on the one sentence James Hetfield gave him backstage in 2008 that got him sober. And Ill Niño's Dave Chavarri and Laz Pina have filed against former guitarist Marc Rizzo in a Dallas court — allegations at this stage, unruled on, and Rizzo has not publicly responded. Here's that GoFundMe link for Jamie Ulshoffer - https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-jamies-medical-bills-after-ltl-accident?attribution_id=sl:77ffeb13-4432-4798-9a47-0a765313cc3e&utm_campaign=unknown&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=widget Metal Breakdown Daily is Loaded Radio's weekday rock and metal news show, hosted by Scott Penfold.

Sharon Osbourne says Ozzy's doctors warned that Back To The Beginning "would kill him," that Ozzy answered "I know I'm dying...

Nirvana's Nevermind has passed AC/DC's Back In Black to become the sixth best-selling album of all time, by one thousand copies: 66,832,000 equivalent album sales to 66,831,000, per Chartmasters. AC/DC still lead on physical copies, 37 million to 30 million.

Sleep Token have broken a year of silence with a rare statement saying they have "no affiliation with any outside musical project that invokes this name" and that such claims "are not made with our blessing."

Dave Lombardo joins Scott Penfold six days after The Pulse Of Atoms, his first album with dark-ambient pioneer Lustmord, and one day after Reign In Blood turned forty.
