About this episode

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.
