Description
The week of November 29, 2023 on The Metallica Report…
Coming off the holiday, Steffan and Renee dip into their M72 interview archives to give you a more in-depth look at the tour.
First, James thinks back to the first time he saw the massive circular stage mapped out with cones in the middle of an empty MetLife Stadium. He also touches on the logistics of a simple guitar swap and the importance of creating a “presence” on stage for both the band and the fans.
Then, our hosts are joined by a couple of M72 special guests, Zoltan Bathory and Chris Kael of Five Finger Death Punch. Zoltan explains that, despite misconceptions behind the band’s accelerated rise to success, they come from extremely humble beginnings and a militant devotion to hard work.
