info_outlineIn this episode, Joe Pacella talks about his love for Metallica as well as working on the cult movie "The Room".
Joe loves Metallica. He loves Metallica enough to have seen them 91 times (and counting). Joe owns 700+ wearable Metallica items; 450 of those being concert tshirts. In 2013, Joe won a contest called The Ultimate Metallica Giveaway. He submitted a photo of himself in the middle of an auditorium surrounded by all his tshirts and he won. He was flown to Detroit, given a guitar from the band, and attended a meet and greet.
Joe first started listening to Metallica in 1985 in Germany where he grew up and his first concert was in 1987. Joe often travels to international shows with two Norwegian friends whom he calls The Vikings. Joe also is the only person I've ever met who has worked on the cult film "The Room" directed by oddly famed Tommy Wiseau. Joe loves "The Room". Or should I say he loves to hate "The Room" since three times he tried to quit but the film wouldn't quit him. Joe works in the film industry and has worked on shows like The Closer, Nip/Tuck, 24, Glee, and Code Black.
