    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 10: Power Trip preview; Lars discusses Desert Trip and GNR Oct 04, 2023
    Show notes

    The week of October 4, 2023 on The Metallica Report…


    It’s all about Power Trip, this weekend’s massive hard rock festival cranking up at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. Gracing the bill of the three-day fest are Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Tool, and, of course, Metallica.


    It’s hard to imagine now, but Metallica wasn’t always on the poster, let alone at the top! James reflects on the band’s festival journey and what it’s felt like to “move up the ladder.”


    Lars recounts 2016’s Desert Trip, the festival featuring legends like Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan that inspired this weekend’s hard rock event. He addresses his admiration for his Power Trip co-headliners and his excitement to get this group of bands in one place. And finally, he touches on his relationship with Guns N’ Roses over the decades and how, yes… he would like to hang out with Axl over a cup of tea!

    Show notes

    The week of September 27, 2023 on The Metallica Report…


    Steffan and Renée explore the Metallica Family: the next generation. Proud dads James and Robert pop in to discuss their sons’ journeys as musicians and their bands, Bastardane and OTTTO.


    James gives us insight into what it’s like watching Castor become his own man, from art school to choosing the drums, and how he’s learned to set aside his dad instincts and stay “the hell out of the way.”


    Robert reflects on Tye’s first gig with Suicidal Tendencies, his love of music, and his authentic style; “we look like each other, but I think stylistically, he's definitely his own player.”


    Finally, fans Yvonne and Jennifer Hernandez, a mother-daughter-duo, share what a mutual love for Metallica has meant for their family.

    Episode 8: The skater episode: "Too Far Gone Video" and Tony Hawk Sep 20, 2023
    Show notes

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


    We’re talking all things “Too Far Gone?” - specifically, the phenomenal new music video and its mind-blowing star. He’s a pro skateboarder you’ll need to see to believe named Felipe Nunes, and he also happens to be a double-amputee.


    We’ve got a few very special guests joining us to dive into the details. Director Buddy Nichols fills us in on how the project came about and the long days that went into creating the video. Our own James and Robert discuss what skateboarding means to them and the inspiration they draw from watching Felipe not only pursue his passion but kick ass doing it. And finally, Renée catches up with the one and only Tony Hawk, who offers up his advice for aspiring skaters and reveals that being in a Metallica video allowed him to cross an item off his bucket list!

First, a passionate All Within My Hands supporter named Yuji Moore, who also happens to be an intelligence analyst in the United States Space Force. Then, Renee shares some clips she got while on the road, where a few enthusiastic Metallica Family members explain how Metallica music fuels them in their day-to-day lives.

    Episode 6: Kirk on "Shadows Follow"; band chef Simon Mitchell on prepping food on tour Sep 06, 2023
    Show notes

    The week of September 6, 2023 on The Metallica Report…


    Kirk “The Ripper” Hammett discusses his solos on 72 Seasons and the M72 World Tour, specifically his approach to the song “Shadows Follow.” He also geeks out while recounting hanging out with Pete Townshend, the legendary guitarist of The Who, at the Hollywood Bowl and the Peter Green tribute show at the London Palladium.


    Band chef Simon Mitchell checks in from Dallas with the low-down on the Metalli-menu and how he preps fresh, healthy meals to help keep the guys in top-performing shape out on the road. And Renée brings a sweet little update from night one in Phoenix and how the hunger-fighting, guitar-shaped Enlightened ice cream bars were received.


    And ICYMI, we tie up loose ends and put any worries to rest about Storm, the four-legged-media-sensation who ventured from her house to SoFi Stadium to join the crowd for night one in LA. We’re happy to report that she’s back home safely and no worse for the wear, aside from maybe a little bit of “wag-lash.”


    Finally, we’re wishing James a speedy recovery from COVID-19, which caused the postponement of Phoenix’s night two appearance, which has been rescheduled for this Saturday, September 9.

    Show notes

    The week of August 30, 2023 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!

    Show notes

    The week of August 23, 2023 on The Metallica Report...


    Steffan and Renee check in with Robert for his thoughts on night one in Texas, just moments after he left the incredibly energetic AT&T Stadium! And with LA on the M72 horizon, the West Side native talks about his upbringing steeped in beach and skate culture and his later-found appreciation for the East Side.


    Next, we stay in LA but flash back to Metallica’s early days with Metal Blade Records president, Brian Slagel, for a first-hand account of the excitement (and errors!) surrounding the band’s first break. And finally, we hear the first installment of our newest feature, Crew Tips, kicking off with Foster, the woman who transforms backstage at each venue into the band’s home away from home.

    Show notes

    The week of August 16, 2023 on The Metallica Report...


    Steffan and Renée are back to talk more M72 World Tour, recapping their time in New Jersey and getting pumped for this weekend in Arlington, Texas, where both No Repeat Weekend shows will be broadcast live to movie theaters around the globe!


    This week’s first guest is Papa Het, and he’s here to give us a glimpse into the chaos of having 72 beach balls rain down upon the stage and crowd each night! He also shares his feelings about the upcoming global theatrical event, M72 World Tour Live in Cinemas. Also weighing in is M72’s Creative Director, Dan Braun, who explains what it takes to bring the stadium experience - from the barricade to the upper deck - into the movie theater.


    But it’s not all life on the road and tour talk. “Lux Æterna” is nominated for the MTV VMA for “Best Rock Video,” and our hosts will let you know how YOU, the fans, can vote to make it a winner. And speaking of fans, this week’s fan submission comes from Kevin, checking in with us from Liverpool with a question about Rob’s band before Suicidal Tendencies: the New Wave (!) LA sensation Perfect Stranger.
