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!

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.

  • Episode 76: James Hetfield on Words & Lyrics
    Jan 8 2025
    The week of January 8, 2025 on The Metallica Report… We speak with James Hetfield about his perennial and peerless lyrics.

Then, we take a trip back through the So What! archives to revisit his approach to songs such as “Harvester Of Sorrow,” “Moth Into Flame,” and “ManUNkind.” Finally, he discusses the soul searching behind 72 Seasons and explains—what he has determined to be—the three phases of “Fuck it!” Become a Fifth Member: https://www.metallica.com/fans The Metallica Black Box: https://www.metallica.com/museum Music from The Metallica Report: https://metallica.lnk.to/TMR-music Wanna be featured on a future episode?
