Description

This week on The Metallica Report…

During the wee hours after rehearsals in LA, straight from the dressing room, Lars shares which drummer he can’t get enough of lately, which happens to be the answer to a Metallica Report Listener question! We also spend some quality time with Southern California native & Mammoth WVH frontman Wolfgang Van Halen, who shares his M72 experiences and gets into his band’s new album, Mammoth II.

Steffan gives his first-hand account of what it’s like to be in the Snake Pit when the people around you happen to be pretty high-profile guests, and he shares a touching pre-show moment with James. And Renée has exciting news to report about a new All Within My Hands partnership with Enlightened, the ice cream company helping us produce guitar-shaped treats just in time to cool us down in Phoenix!

Finally, we get into some Family Matters with Metallica Fan Club chapter head Lance Martin from Magnolia Militia, who tells us a story about connecting with other fans traveling around the country to M72 shows and the kind of good luck that can follow!  

The Metallica Report - your official, weekly guide for all things Metallica, straight from the source. New episode every Wednesday.

Keep up with all things Metallica by going straight to the source. Now you can get your news directly from those entrenched in the band’s own Northern California headquarters. This weekly report is hosted by Steffan Chirazi and Renée Richardson, two members of the Metallica Camp. Steffan is a long-time rock scribe and editor of the band’s online mag, So What!, whose days covering Metallica began in the 1980s with the British music magazines Sounds and Kerrang! Renée is the Director of Philanthropy for the band’s foundation, All Within My Hands, and also has a storied background in music as a well-known Bay Area radio personality. Each week will sound a little different, but you’ll always remain in the loop. Steffan and Renée will keep you posted with the latest news and updates from Metallica HQ and the road as the M72 Tour makes its way around the world. They’ll bring you mini-features for a little peek behind the curtain, and you’ll learn bits of info you won’t find anywhere else through chats with everyone from members of the road crew to poster artists, from fans to band members themselves!  They won’t just tell you what you need to know; they’ll also get to the bottom of what you want to find out! Listeners can submit questions, and Steffan and Renée will get to work finding answers. You’ll enjoy all of this and more with The Metallica Report, your quick, weekly fix covering our most relevant topics of the day.
