Michael Alago on signing Metallica and more - a podcast by Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon

Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon presents Michael Alago (recorded April 2020)


Michael is best known for his role in bringing Metallica to the masses. We discuss his book I Am Michael Alago: Breathing Music. Signing Metallica. Beating Death. as well as where does the industry go from here, how Alice Cooper changed everything, The Ritz in New York, Metallica, his career, how did he spot talent, why Metallica wouldn't do videos and much more. Quotes:
"It is few and far between that there's greatness out there.""There is no one like James Hetfield. This guy is a ringleader on stage. He is filled with rough charm and a lot of piss&vinegar and charismatic. He knew how to hold an audience in the palm of his hand and whip the entire crowd into a frenzy."

"We were all 'that' confident that once you saw Metallica live you became a fan, a believer, a supporter..."Subscribe to Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon for exclusive content and interviews.
