During a fan Q+A on The Metallica Reportpodcast, James Hetfield named the two deep cuts that Metallica discuss adding to their setlist the most often, but don’t. The frontman joined the podcast’s host Steffan Chirazi for the latest episode, where he answered fan-submitted questions. One fan specifically asked which of the band’s “rarely played or deep cut songs” come up in discussion to play live the most often, yet fail to make it onto the setlist. “‘The Frayed Ends of Sanity,’ most of the time, or ‘Dyers Eve.’ Those are the two,” Hetfield responded. “We have played them in the past, and they...

Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen has revealed that his favorite rock/metal song of all time is actually a ballad — Metallica‘s “One.” “[It’s] such a brilliant composition and lyric and music video. And that was around the time that I found metal music altogether, so it brings back a lot of memories,” the keyboardist and composer told Germany’s Rock Antenne (the video has since been set to private, transcription via Blabbermouth). The …And Justice For All hit was a massive breakthrough for Metallica, who were rising to the ranks of superstardom. The band had previously refused to shoot mu...

Who are the real “architects” of heavy metal? It’s a question that has routinely come up over decades and Metallica‘s Kirk Hammett has his answer — not Black Sabbath. Although Black Sabbath are largely credited with pioneering heavy metal for having driven it further away from the hard rock standard of the time and into new territory. However, that notion has been challenged a bit in recent years as more have come to look back at metal’s origins in terms of the style that was later popularized. Hammett and Robert Trujillo took part in a recent Q&A session in Germany at a book signing event for...

Flemming Rasmussen, the producer who worked on a few of Metallica‘s albums in the 1980s, has a theory on why the bass was turned down on …And Justice for All. Rasmussen first worked with Metallica on their sophomore album Ride the Lightning, and the band worked with him again on Master of Puppets and …And Justice for All. The latter is known for having an infamously low bass volume to the point where it’s hardly audible at all. Metallica brought Jason Newsted in as their new bassist in October of 1986, just a month after the death of Cliff Burton. Newsted has admitted in interviews that he “wa...

Metallica frontman James Hetfield has admonished the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for not having inducted Lemmy Kilmister yet, calling it a “travesty” that the Motorhead legend has never been honored. During an appearance on The Metallica Report podcast, Hetfield discussed his new tattoo which pays tribute to Lemmy and was made with ink mixed with the Motorhead frontman’s ashes. “I had been given some ashes of Lemmy and a little silver bullet that was like a necklace,” Hetfield explained before describing the artwork. “The Iron Cross and the ace of spades. So Lemmy is able to still fly the bird to...

Metallica kicked off their 2024 tour with an emphatic performance in Munich, Germany on May 24. The concert officially launched the latest leg of Metallica’s M72 World tour. The trek, which began in April 2023, sees the metal giants playing two nights at each stop, with completely different set lists from one performance to the next. In Munich, Metallica came out of the gates firing with “Whiplash,” the powerful lead single from their 1983 debut album Kill ‘Em All (see a clip of the opening song in the tweet below). The band followed with one of their best-loved tunes, “For Whom the Bell Tolls...

In the latest episode of the weekly Metallica Report podcast, James Hetfield confirmed he’s been writing new music during downtime between tours. Metallica‘s last concert took place last December and the band is gearing up for another series of dates this spring and summer. Over the last few months, Hetfield has kept busy.

Apple Music has completed its 10-day rollout of their 100 Best Albums list and it only features one metal album. Fortunately, there’s quite a lot of rock on the list to help ease the pain. As much as we all may be dismayed by the results, heavy metal being snubbed is something we’ve all grown accustomed to. It’s just something we must accept, whether it’s from our own institutions (the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) or mainstream music organizations ranging from the Grammys to tech companies. The One Metal AlbumOne silver lining is that Apple Music’s lone metal pick is an irrefutable classic — Me...

Former Megadeth bassist David Ellefson recalled the first time he heard Metallica and named his favorite release by them. As two pillars of thrash metal with a complicated history, Megadeth and Metallica had a longstanding feud through much of the ’80s and ’90s. And though Ellefson has praised Metallica in the past, he’s seemingly been more vocal about his Metallica fandom since he was fired from Megadeth in 2021. In a new interview with Ultimate Guitar, the bassist discussed the first time he ever heard Metallica’s music, and named which of their many releases is his favorite to this day. “Me...
