On Thursday, you'll hear from one of the four men who made "The Black Album." He was there for all 301 gigs... first one in the building, last one out. His thunderous bass tone rattled speakers for millions of fans around the globe, and he's the man behind the hypnotic intro to "My Friend of Misery."

That's right. Jason Newsted is checking in with as the Hero of the Day. You won't want to miss it.

Tune in Thursday, August 13 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT and 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT on SiriusXM Channel 42. Listen on demand in the SXM app after it airs.

"Metallica" was released 35 years ago in 1991!

In the summer of 1992, Guns N' Roses and Metallica shared a stadium bill for what is widely remembered as an orderly, incident-free tour where absolutely nothing went wrong whatsoever. Right??? 👀

Duff McKagan was there for all of it. And he's stopping by for the 35th Anniversary of The Black Album with his five picks as Hero of the Day.

Catch it on Wednesday, August 12 at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT and 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT on SiriusXM Channel 42. Listen on demand in the SXM app after it airs.
