We were honored and a little nervous about this interview with to the most popular metal band ever, but James and Kirk gave us a great interview and talked freely about rehab, "St. Anger" and Jason's departure. The audio version.

"We were ready to sit down and work out our differences but Jason wouldn't have any of it. He came to the meeting with the purpose of telling us he didn't want to be a part of the band anymore."
