The week of July 17, 2024 on The Metallica Report…

M72 Europe is officially a wrap, and Steffan checks in with Robert following the final show in an absolutely buzzing Madrid as Spanish fans celebrate their Euro Cup victory!

Then, inspired by gazing at the stable of guitars just offstage, Steffan unearths a chat with James about his first guitar and how his brother introduced him to rock and roll. James also reveals his earliest aspirations; it turns out he didn’t always dream of becoming a musician. 

Finally, Renée is joined by Michał Labocha, the Local Fan Club Chapter Head of Poland’s Overkill.PL, who shares some incredible stories about his time following the band. Michał’s history with the band runs deep, and at the time of recording, he was preparing to celebrate his 100th Metallica show. As luck would have it, the gig was on his home turf!
