In the season 10 premiere of That Metal Show, hosts Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson welcome two legendary figures in heavy metal: Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich and Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn. The episode starts with the hosts catching up with what they've been doing since the last season of That Metal Show aired, before diving into the topics of the day.

One of the first topics discussed is Metallica's controversial collaboration with Lou Reed on their album "Lulu." Ulrich explains how he and Reed built a friendship over the years, and how their collaboration was born out of a desire to create something completely different from anything Metallica had done before. Flynn, who is a huge Lou Reed fan, also shares his thoughts on the album and the criticisms that it received upon its release.

Next, the hosts ask Ulrich and Flynn about their respective bands' upcoming projects. Ulrich talks about Metallica's work on their long-awaited follow-up to 2008's "Death Magnetic," while Flynn discusses the making of Machine Head's latest album, "Bloodstone & Diamonds." The conversation also turns to the current state of the music industry and the challenges facing bands in the digital age.

Throughout the episode, the hosts ask Ulrich and Flynn about some of their favorite metal bands and albums, as well as their experiences playing live. Ulrich talks about Metallica's early days, when they were regularly playing small clubs and struggling to find their footing, while Flynn reminisces about some of his favorite shows and the moments that make playing in a band so special.

The episode also features one of That Metal Show's most popular segments, "Stump the Trunk," in which audience members ask Eddie Trunk metal trivia questions. Ulrich and Flynn join in on the fun, offering up their own questions and competing against Trunk to see who knows more about metal.

As always, the episode ends with the hosts and guests sharing their picks for the "Top 5" anything related to metal. This week's category is "Top 5 Metallica Songs," with Ulrich and Flynn sharing their favorite tracks from the band's extensive catalog.

Overall, the season 10 premiere of That Metal Show is a must-watch for any metal fan, with two iconic figures in heavy music offering their insights and perspectives on the genre. With its mix of in-depth interviews, insightful commentary, and fun segments, That Metal Show continues to be one of the best shows on television for metalheads everywhere.
