The week of January 22, 2025 on The Metallica Report…
We continue our techs-behind-the-band series with Justin Crew, Kirk Hammett’s right-hand guitar-man of 29 years. Justin recounts the genesis of his own career from Go West to AC/DC, how he landed the Metallica/Hammett gig, the terror of flatbed trucks, being on the Poor Touring Me tour, and what his work on M72 requires. Justin also discusses Greeny, the guitar famous in its own right, and his working relationship with last week’s guest and guitar tech to James Hetfield, Chad Zaemisch.
