About this episode

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!
