Remembering Marianne Faithfull: From 60s Icon to Metallica's "Memory Remains" & The Mars Bar Scandal

Remember Marianne Faithfull? Yeah, probably not. But Neeley and Chris from "The Classic Metal Show" are talking about her anyway because she died. Journey with us as we dissect the career of a woman who went from a 60s "icon" (their words, not ours) with hits like "As Tears Go By" to, let's be honest, screeching on a Metallica record. We'll explore her early "success," her mid-career disappearance, and her, shall we say, "interesting" later work like the "Broken English" album—which apparently sold a million copies despite sounding like "diarrhea". And of course, we can't forget the infamous Mars Bar incident with the Rolling Stones. Was she a talented musician? A groupie? Or just someone who made questionable choices? Listen as we try to figure out what exactly her "claim to fame" was. Was it her association with the Rolling Stones? Her "horrendous shit" music? Or perhaps the melted chocolate? You be the judge.

As the hosts of "The Classic Metal Show," Neeley and Chris express their unfamiliarity with Marianne Faithfull and her work. They describe the ending of Metallica's "The Memory Remains," which featured Faithfull, as "awful". They review some of her songs from the 60s, including "As Tears Go By," "This Little Bird," and "Come and Stay with Me," with one host questioning if she was afraid to move in her performances. They also review her later work, including "Why Did You Do It?" and other songs from her Broken English album, which they didn't enjoy. Neeley even joked about the rumor involving Mick Jagger and a Mars bar.

Is Marianne Faithfull's story truly bizarre or just rock 'n' roll?
