Episode 10: Lars Ulrich



Special Guest Guitarist: Alex Skolnick

Out of all the guest spots on guitar this season, I'd have to say that Alex here just absolutely tore it up. That was some of the best playing this season. Sick!!!!!!! More Skolnick!!

What a great season finale with Lars and a host of suprises. They sure went all out to make this episode a very memorable one. This is one that I won't soon forget. Lars was fantastic on the panel with plenty of great stories to tell. I was curious if they would address the whole Napster thing, which they did.

Moving on to the Stump The Trunk segment, we got not 1, not 2, but 3 walk-ons from Chris Jerico, Sammy Hager and Alex Winter. They were all clearly having fun that night. Alex's walk-on was a bit out of left field and one I would NEVER have seen coming, but as soon as I saw him I knew exactly who it was.
