SCRIPPS MEDIA Active Rock KQXR (100.3 THE X)/BOISE, ID APD/MD JEREMI 'BIG J' SCHLADER finally got to interview METALLICA ... all four of them!!
On MARCH 1st of this year, he published a video on his FACEBOOK personality page challenging METALLICA to an interview with the entire band if he could lose 100lbs and keep the weight off by the time the band played TACO BELL ARENA in BOISE. The band responded last MAY (NET NEWS 5/2/18) and last WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 28th, 2018, BIG J got his wish.
While he didn't lose the entire 100lbs, he did knock off a considerable portion of weight and METALLICA came through with the interview. SCHLADER told ALL ACCESS, "It was an awesome experience to share my story with all four of the guys. They were able to relate to my struggle and talked about how all of us have our own demons to deal with."
