Episode 35: ‘Use Your Illusion’ vs ‘The Black Album’ / Vitamins

Today, in honour of the 30th anniversary of the release of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Use Your Illusion 1 and 2’ and Metallica’s ‘Black Album’, the guys debate which album is better (and yes, we know UYI is 2 albums -- we’re counting them as one…) (1:41).   Ali starts off by recounting the story of how he attended the infamous Metallica/Guns N’ Roses concert in the summer of 1992, which resulted in a massive riot in downtown Montreal. The guys discuss how big GNR were in the early nineties and recount how anticipated the double album release was. Then the guys talk about Metallica’s 1991 album, which has come to be called ‘The Black Album’. They discuss how the album was considered a major sonic departure from their previous albums and the influence of Canadian producer Bob Rock. Then Ali asks Asif about whether we need to take vitamins (33:59). In short, Asif says in general “no” we don’t, but he does talk about some specific medical situations where we may need to take vitamins. He then talks about examples of toxicities associated with taking too many vitamins. Finally Asif shout outs the true experts in the field, nutritionists and dieticians. The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.
