Last night (1/14/2008) around 8:15, I heard "Nothing Else Matters" from the "Black" album. I was a little surprised. Did any of you hear it? What do you think? Not exactly the song I would pick from Metallica to play on KZOK.

Metallica on KZOK
- Thread starter placebo1969
- Start date
KZOK plays tracks from the Black album (including "Enter Sandman") They don't whip out any of their TRULY AWESOME stuff (anything from Kill 'Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, ....And Justice For All). That stuff TRULY qualifies as classic rock by now.
The Black album was the beginning of the end for Metallica (maybe because "Enter Sandman" was the only Metallica song to make it on CHR radio), thus beginning their slow, PAINFUL transformation from undisputed thrash metal gods to Linkin Park wannabes....
(Well....we still have Slayer....)
Speaking of classic rock, isn't it time "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and heyday grunge finally some got well deserved classic rock radio airplay by now? How 'bout it KZOK?......

I'm pretty sure I've heard "Teen Spirit" more than once on KZOK.
Agreed about the beginning of the end regarding Metallica. I didn't realize it at the time, but can definitely hear it now.

I think most everyone will agree when the bay area boys brought in Bob Rock on the black cd it spelled the end of Metallica as we know it. I recall hearing "enter sandman" on Kube 93 ( who was CHR at the time ) not to mention 107.7 as well. having all the discs from Kill 'em All - Justice - it was shock and outrage that they crossed over. Some songs become almost an instant classic like 'teen spirit' and a host of others. Some of U2's work comes to mind as well
All be it that KZOK playing enter sandman seems a little odd, I'm sure it's a record that tests well with the listeners and falls into the demo. Granted there are much better songs that really are classics from Metallica but maybe that's just us old fans who know them and love them.
Are there any other 80's metal / rock acts that get some airplay on 102.5? If so who and what, it'd be interesting to know.
Rock on!

....or the "DAMMIT! I WARNED YA KIXI!" post:
This post has REALLY aroused my curiosity. Makes me wonder when I'm gonna hear "N.W.O." Ministry on KZOK (come to think of it, they should play it NOW.)
But I digress (or DO I?)
It would be really interesting a few years from now hearing "Nookie" Limp Bizkit, "My Own Worst Enemy" Lit, "Du Hast" Rammstein, "Firestarter" Prodigy, etc on KZOK...
But that begs another question...where will The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, The Stones or any of those guys go? The way of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Bing Crosby and Tommy Dorsey today?
Who's even gonna remember those guys, let alone PLAY them in 2020? Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith were lucky enough to have revivals in the blues communties. Outside of the brief swing revival of 1998 (Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Combustible Edison, etc) and Christina Aguilera's flirtation, I don't see much further hope commercially for '30s/'40's music.
Or will terrstrial radio even BE here in 2020? I'll be 62, but more than likely not retired (at the rate things are going with Social Security, no decent pensions, etc.) Yup, I'll just work myself into the grave.....
SIGH!

I was surprised when I starting hearing Metallica on KZOK. It was prejudice to keep them off but I was fine with that choice personally. Still I'd like to hear them play more from 80s and 90s. Real rock. A lot of classic rock is not real rock to me. It is classic rock as it originally unfolded but it is not real rock looking back, with what that word means now or at least means to me. I'd call the non- real rock, classic pop. And I am done with 70% of that.
