This week, we're scratching The Itch to talk about a ton of Metallica! The biggest metal band in the world came to St. Louis for a pair of packed house, no-repeat sets alongside Mammoth WVH, Pantera, Ice Nine Kills, and Five Finger Death Punch. And on their day off, the next generation took over, with Bastardane and Fury in Few tearing down a smaller house of their own. Join us for tales of traffic jams, parallel setlist structures, and a band that came out of nowhere to be the unlikely hero of the entire weekend. Enjoy!

If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox!

And if you have the itch to hear brand new rock tracks every Friday, follow our New Rock Roundup playlist!
