Episode 49: Rob Trujillo; Kirk Hammett

The week of July 2, 2024 on The Metallica Report…

Robert Trujillo joins Steffan for a quick chat about - what else - lemons and coffee. Ok, they also got into how Rob feels on stage these days, what the vibe is like at each of these European stops, and the dedication with which he and Kirk craft their original doodles and covers that have become staples of Metallica concerts.And Steff finally tracks Kirk down to talk about less current matters - specifically the origins of Ride the Lightning. They start by touching on the album itself, then veer into a brief history of the banner once displayed on stage that still hangs in HQ, in all its musty glory, to this day.Stay tuned until the end of the episode to find out how you could win a VIP trip to Mexico City for eight to enjoy two nights of Metallica from the most exciting seats in the house!The Metallica Report - your official, weekly guide for all things Metallica, straight from the source.
