The week of August 16, 2023 on The Metallica Report...

Steffan and Renée are back to talk more M72 World Tour, recapping their time in New Jersey and getting pumped for this weekend in Arlington, Texas, where both No Repeat Weekend shows will be broadcast live to movie theaters around the globe!

This week’s first guest is Papa Het, and he’s here to give us a glimpse into the chaos of having 72 beach balls rain down upon the stage and crowd each night! He also shares his feelings about the upcoming global theatrical event, M72 World Tour Live in Cinemas. Also weighing in is M72’s Creative Director, Dan Braun, who explains what it takes to bring the stadium experience - from the barricade to the upper deck - into the movie theater.

But it’s not all life on the road and tour talk. “Lux Æterna” is nominated for the MTV VMA for “Best Rock Video,” and our hosts will let you know how YOU, the fans, can vote to make it a winner. And speaking of fans, this week’s fan submission comes from Kevin, checking in with us from Liverpool with a question about Rob’s band before Suicidal Tendencies: the New Wave (!) LA sensation Perfect Stranger.
