EP144 is with special guest Michael Alago. He is the man responsible for signing Metallica to Elektra records where they released such legendary albums as Master of Puppets & And Justice for All. He wrote a book sharing stories on how that happened, working with artists like Cyndi Lauper & White Zombie, being diagnosed with HIV, recovering from alcohol & drug abuse and more called "I am Michael Alago" which is available now. We talk about the book, his documentary on Netflix, signing Metallica and my good friends Ether Coven. Cheers!
