  • Jeremy Willman
    The definitive Metallica podcast
    This is the only podcast you need for all your Metallica needs! I look forward to this every week. Especially right now as they boys are on the second leg of the M72 tour. Love hearing from the guys each week!
  • Rock Cullen
    Simply the best
    This is the best podcast out there. The host are great. The stories are great. And the band interviews are the best!
  • Reckapotamus
    Studio Tour Episode!
    Great episode by the way! I just wanted to ask is there any YouTube or video of this podcast? It would be amazing to see parts of the studio you guys visited. Especially at the beginning where you talk about the big Ulrich shield. I was the contest winner of the So What magazine, and I created that shield for Lars and the band! I’m so happy it’s at the headquarters!
  • Derek Damager
    Clint Wells!!
    I love this podcast and it was great to hear Clint Wells on this episode! His eloquent delivery is fun and easy to listen to. Hopefully, he will have more appearances on The Metallica Report!

  • Henrysdream
    Up Close and Personal
    Fantastic pod. Takes you right inside the goings on of the band, the tour, the Metallica life. Love everything about it.
  • zekerfreaker
    My favorite podcast!
    I look forward to each new episode!
  • Pskirt
    Love it!
    Best source of modern Metallica news, period.
  • Plane Inferno
    This podcast rules all
    I love hearing from the Metallica family. I’ve been a huge fan since the beginning and I am stoked to learn more stuff and hear from my favorite band ever. Thank you!
  • williamcapps88
    Awesome!
    I love this podcast! Look forward to it every week!

    Rad
    Super stoked to see Metallica in Phoenix! This podcast gets me pumped and ready for the show!
  • Uncommon.55
    Awesome!!!
    Podcasts for me have to be exciting to keep my interest and ‘The Metallica Review’ did just that. Everything Metallica does is 1st Class and this Podcast is a nice addition. Steffan and Renee work very well together and looking forward to many more episodes.
  • EmMetfanil
    The pod cast we always needed
    This is absolutely amazing podcast for Metallica fans new and old
  • mabobbie606
    Amazing podcast
    This Metallica report helps me connect more with the cast and band members plus crew members ( without the crew we don’t have the most incredible albums and shows). This is a great way to keep up and get the best information from the horses mouth. Have fun!❤️🤘
  • DAMEKADA
    Good hosting
    Steffan and Renee bring the super cred and passion you cannot fake or hire a temp mouth piece for. If they say the shows or scenes are this way or that, we know it’s from first hand deep experience, not just some joker with a velvet voice reading a script. Good decision by the band to have them host this short, sweet, well composed podcast.
  • tinnafarid
    GREAT
    Cant wait for the next week's episode
  • drdiabetez
    Metallica all day!
    This is great! Needed this for a long time!!!!!
  • brandilukas
    Cool insight!!!
    I enjoyed this bite-sized podcast so much. I’m heading to the NJ show this Friday, and I learned so much about other happenings before/after/between the shows, in addition to other neat stats. Highly recommend listening. Worthwhile for a die-hard fan, and also for a casual fan 🤘
  • DouGfromdetroit
    Love this!
    Love this, can’t wait to listen next week!
  • MetalFan9189
    Been Waiting!…
    I’ve been excited for a new Metallica Podcast. A World Tour deserves pod coverage. Really love the creative direction of the new album and hope to hear more about its production. It’s great that we get to have more interaction with the Metallica family and get streamlined information about News, events and occurrences at each show. Metallica concerts are legendary events and deserve to be documented! W Metallica team
  • Mannerbat
    Awesome!
    Great start to the podcast, really looking forward to this. Excited to hear more as the tour starts in the U.S.
  • biglittle123
    Episode 1 Review
    This is an exciting new series of media to come from the legendary Metallica. Hearing Lar’s voice confirms that this will be a great behind-the-scenes media source for die hard Metallica fans. Loved how the hosts were hyping the listeners up with plenty of content for the US leg of the M72 tour, and it was interesting to hear from a serious fan trying to attend every show in the US leg. This is a great introductory episode to the podcast.
  • Statma
    Love it!
    Love how they actually got the real band members to co-sign this! Also was very shocked at how many things they were able to cover (tour, movie screenings, the massive stage size) despite how concise this was. Loved the “heavy metal” pun too, very clever.
  • Mr.BH
    🤘🤘
    This rules! Can’t wait for more episodes
  • devil zilla
    Mega Dopes.
    Finally, a podcast willing to report on what makes this the worst, most boring, metal band of all time with the most transparently stupid members.
  • The TinMan#1
    New Metallica Pod?
    Is this official? Sounds like the band will actually be involved. I’m sure that was Lars’ voice in the trailer. This would be awesome! Can’t wait. I’m going to Detroit and want to know about this tour. Well, anything Metallica is great for me.
  • RocketRide69
    That’s what I’m talking about….
    Finally a REAL Metallica podcast!!!!!
  • Wanbli Gleska
    Straight from the band!
    Love me some Metallica! I listen to a few metal pods and now that Metallica is bringing the news weekly to us - I am all in!
