About this episode

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!


The Metallica Report - your official, weekly guide for all things Metallica, straight from the source. New episode every Wednesday.
