    The Metallica Report

    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.

    Episode 30: All Things HQ - Part 2: Tour Of Metallica’s Headquarters With Jeff Yeager Feb 21, 2024
    Show notes

    The week of February 21, 2024 on The Metallica Report…


    The second installment of two episodes recorded at the band’s creative ground zero for over 20 years: Metallica HQ. Steffan and Renée tour the building with one of its longest inhabitants, Jeff Yeager - webmaster, touring photographer/videographer, and network manager.


    Sprinkled with fun facts and historical context, the group makes its way through the artifact-filled workshop, the infamous Some Kind of Monster kitchen, the former pick-and-pack space (yes, all your merch orders used to ship right out of HQ), the office space, into the corridor that houses four separate rooms for you-know-who.


    Things wrap up in Studio A, a room that certainly has been transformed many times, but most significantly for the 2020 streaming All Within My Hands benefit concert. As Steff, Renée, and Jeff conclude, something is always happening at Metallica HQ.

    Episode 29: All Things HQ - Part 1: Robert Trujillo, Staffers Jeff Yeager, Jack Ketcham, Kent Matcke Feb 14, 2024
    Show notes

    This week of February 14, 2024 on The Metallica Report…


    The first of two episodes recorded at the band’s creative ground zero for over 20 years: Metallica HQ. Steffan and Renée set up shop in the Jam Room with three people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the Metallica Machine moving.


    Jeff Yeager - webmaster, touring photographer/videographer, and all-around “do whatever it takes” guy - brings us back to the first event held at HQ and shares what elements of the building hold particular meaning for him.


    Jack Ketcham - one of the unsung heroes of the operation - details a day in the life of a runner, starting with being first in the door and ending as the last to go home.


    Kent Matcke - HQ veteran, audio specialist, and glue guy of the team - gives us just a glimpse of how “there is always something” in the life of the HQ recording engineer.


    And a man you’re more familiar with, Robert Trujillo, joins the conversation and offers his connection to HQ as not just a rehearsal and recording space but a true home away from home!

    Episode 26: Part 2 - Old School Deep Dive with KJ Doughton, Brian Lew, and Ron Quintana Jan 24, 2024
    Show notes

    The week of January 24, 2024 on The Metallica Report…


    A fortuitous call from Kirk sets the stage, framing the metal scene in the early days and the roles Ron, Brian, and KJ played.


    Brian recalls the enthusiasm surrounding Metallica’s first album by the band members and, if you will, the founding Metallica Family members - many of whom would be acknowledged decades later. KJ traces Lars’ passion for supporting his peers back to the early ’80s, with one album in particular. Ron further taps into Metallica’s appreciation for music, discussing Lars’ and Cliff’s eclectic tastes.

    Episode 25: Old School Memories with KJ Doughton, Brian Lew, and Ron Quintana Jan 17, 2024
    Show notes

    The week of January 17, 2024 on The Metallica Report…


    Steffan and Renée are joined by old friends KJ Doughton, Brian Lew, and Ron Quintana for a trip back to the humble beginnings of Metallica. From fanzines to tape trading to shows at the legendary Stone in San Francisco, these guys have seen it all and are bonded for life to each other and the band through their undying love of music.


    Ron, the man behind the name Metallica, flashes back to meeting that “strange new kid” at Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park. KJ recalls being enlisted to run the first Metallica Fan Club. And Brian recounts a sidewalk introduction with the guys before their first-ever San Francisco show.


    Catch all that and more in this week’s episode, and tune in next week for more tales from the past when we finish our conversation with the guys.

    Episode 24: Catching up with Jason Newsted Jan 10, 2024
    Show notes

    The week of January 10, 2024 on The Metallica Report…


    We have a visit from an old friend as Steffan and Renée check in with bassist Jason Newsted.


    Amid an unusually quiet time in his creative world, Jason talks about plans, projects, and how he’s allowing himself to enjoy the simplicity of his day-to-day life.


    Of course, we still have to touch on his artistic side, from keeping his visual art skills active to his love of the live show, including his contributions to Metallica and one of his most memorable nights on stage with the Four Horsemen at Red Rocks in Morrison, CO.

    Episode 23: Gimme Fuel, Gimme Fire Jan 03, 2024
    Show notes

    The week of January 3, 2024 on the The Metallica Report…


    For better or worse, few people know the absolute power pyrotechnics can bring to a performance like our own James Hetfield does. He joins Steffan and Renée to get into the history of pyro within Metallica and the energy it brings to a live show.


    And, of course, James touches on safety, which brings us to our second guest: M72 Pyrotechnic Project Manager Reid Derne. Reid talks about taking over the pyro duties after James’ infamous accident and how fearless James is around flames despite his bad luck. And for all you aspiring pyrotechnicians out there, Reid gets into the technical aspects of bringing fire into a Metallica production.

    Episode 21: The Best of the First 20 Episodes; Lars on his current favorite tunes, Kirk on surfing, James on Power Trip, Robert on creating new music for each show, plus more! Dec 20, 2023
    Show notes

    The week of December 20, 2023 on The Metallica Report…


    We’re going to sit back, relax, and enjoy some of the highlights of the first 20 episodes of The Metallica Report. Remember Lars and that iPod? (think Blue Oyster Cult!) What about Kirk catching waves or James’ love of a good music festival? And who could forget Robert’s night on stage in Dallas?


    First, Steffan gives us his review of a night out in the East Bay watching two bands featuring HQ staffers: Dana Lindstrom’s Milk For The Angry and previous pod interviewee Avi Vinocur’s Badnight, Texas (the hard core version of Goodnight, Texas).


    Next we’ll revisit interviews from the first 20 episodes as all four guys gave us some great stories about their hobbies, music, being on stage (beachball chaos! guitar solos!) and creating new material for every show. We close out with Robert chiming in to share his Christmas plans with us.


    Happy Holidays to all . . . we’ll be back next week to celebrate the New Year!
