About this episode

The week of August 14, 2014 on The Metallica Report…

 

Renée checks in from Chicago, bringing along a chat with Kirk Hammett about the Minneapolis music scene and, who else, Prince. Kirk discusses his appreciation for Prince’s immeasurable contribution to the world of music and recounts his personal brush with The Purple One’s greatness late one night in the ’90s. 


While in the Windy City, Renée stopped by the official Metallica Pop Up Shop and struck up a conversation with super fan and collector, Matthew. 


Steffan brings things home with an in-depth conversation with Dan Nykolayko, Metallica’s Director of Digital Content. A major force behind what you see in The Metallica Black Box, Dan shares his unique perspective about the online museum’s latest exhibit, Orion: A Tribute To Cliff Burton. Dan explains the curation process for this newest installment and shares some clips of a couple of other bass players we in the Metallica world are pretty fond of.
