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.

James Hetfield talks Copenhagen; Robert Trujillo talks Hellfest
The week of June 26, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
While in Denmark, Steffan jumps at the chance to talk to a certain band member about his history with the country… it just might not be the band member you’d expect. James has been visiting Denmark for 40 years and has developed a relationship of his own with the area. He reflects on what’s changed and what’s stayed the same over time, for himself, for Metallica, and for Copenhagen.
And Steffan keeps the European theme going with Robert, who explains why Hellfest is so special in the rock world and why each year is something you have to experience for yourself. Plus, why this year is particularly meaningful to the Trujillo family.

Kirk Hammett; Francesco Polsinelli, Iveco
The week of June 5, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
It’s Kirk Hammett’s turn to share his back-on-tour thoughts with Steffan. (ICYMI, Steff chatted with Robert and James during the last couple of episodes.) Kirk shares his love for being on the road and how he’s constantly striving to remain musically in the moment. It’s safe to say it… this man thrives on stage!
Renée introduces us to Francesco Polsinelli, the Chief Communications Officer for M72 European Tour Sponsor Iveco Group. The electric and alternative fuel vehicle manufacturer is also behind the buses and trucks transporting the tour from city to city. On top of all that, the company also matches the All Within My Hands donations to local organizations at each European tour stop!

Robert Trujillo; M72 Tour from Munich
The week of May 29, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
Steffan and Renée travel to Munich for the kick-off of year two of the M72 World Tour!
We get a rare front seat for Robert Trujillo’s “back on tour” process as he chats about what it’s like to get back out on the road after a break and takes Steffan along as he walks the stage for the first time in 2024.
Speaking of rare… Steff and Renée go very behind-the-scenes as they pop in and out of the various backstage rooms, each of which as unique as the respective band members who inhabit them.
Finally, our hosts crash St. Germany’s Weekend Bash, where they get show #1 reactions from a few super fans. Spoiler alert: The Metallica Family had an incredible reunion!
