The week of November 6, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
On the anniversary of 2022’s tribute show honoring the lives of Jonny and Marsha Zazula, James, Lars, Kirk, and Robert remember the pair who jumpstarted Metallica’s career with Megaforce Records.
In 1983, the right man on the opposite coast got ahold of a No Life ’Til Leather cassette tape. This man and his business partner/wife became integral in the lives of the young members of Metallica. The band's gratitude for the parental-like support is still palpable decades later.

The week of October 23, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
In honor of World Mental Health Day, Steffan and Renée tackle the important issue of self-care with James and Kirk, as Metallica’s guitarists share their secrets for staying healthy both in mind and body.
James discusses meditation—how it has helped him, the many forms it takes, and why sometimes disengaging from the world is necessary.
Kirk focuses on nutrition and his strategy for taking care of his body on the road. He travels with a little kitchen, ready to be set up in any hotel room in the world, so he can enjoy homemade soup and salads, often using vegetables from his own gardens.

The week of October 9, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
Steffan and Renée are joined by Kirk Hammett to discuss one of the most revered guitars in rock and roll history: Greeny. One part Gibson Les Paul Standard and one part magic, Kirk gushes about his relationship with what he has dubbed “The People’s Guitar.” But even the best guitars and guitarists are incomplete without a kick-ass tech, so Kirk shares some insight into the final piece of his power trio, the multi-talented Justin Crew.
James Hetfield stops in to share what about M72 2023 & 2024 will be carried over to future performances and why “mistakes” are nothing to be afraid of.

The week of October 2, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
Steffan gives Renée —and all of us—the lowdown on how Metallica’s two weekends in Mexico City wrapped up, including updates on support acts, Lucha Libre, Robert’s Spanish, James’ take on Robert and Kirk’s spotlight in the set, and the way metal is deeply rooted in the region’s culture.
Episode 60 guest Karla Farrugia (Mexitallica Chapter Head) turned Steffan on to local metal band S7N, who started their career playing Metallica covers before releasing original music. The band toured five maximum-security prisons in Mexico City for their documentary, “Sin Barreras,” which just won three awards at Cannes. Steffan spoke to the film’s directors Gonzalo Figueroa and Louisa Melo to learn why music is at the heart of their film, and to S7N frontman, Mao Kanto, about why this was such a profound experience for the band.

Our two favorite guitarists stop by for a little chat with Steffan and Renée.
With Metallica getting ready to hit the stage at Lumen Field this weekend, Kirk thinks back to another visit to Seattle, 35 years ago, when the band played possibly the fastest version of “Whiplash” we’ve ever heard.
