Producer Bob Rock named two rockstars that actually liked Metallica’s album ”St. Anger”.
During a chat with “Talk is Jericho” podcast, Bob Rock said:
“Jimmy Page, not to drop names, but he’s kind of a friend, he was at the Sunset Marquis [in Los Angeles]. He was sitting, eating breakfast on the other side of the pool. And somebody walked by and said, ‘I’m here seeing Bob Rock.’ Jimmy said, ‘Oh, Bob’s here?’
”He came over and talked to me, which blew my mind, coming from Winnipeg, that Jimmy Page even knows my name, you know? And he said, ‘By the way, I love ‘St. Anger’. It’s a great album.’ […]
“I happened to be in Toronto (at the premiere of the film and Jack (White of White Stripes) came up to me from across the room, and he says, ‘By the way, I love ‘St. Anger’. It’s an amazing album.’ And [then] he left.”
