The week of December 25, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
With the holiday season in full swing, we hear from Metallica’s confirmed cinephile, Lars Ulrich. Having seen 18 films at the Mill Valley Film Festival alone, he speaks about some of his favorite movies over the last few months. And for good measure, Steff has him throw in his current musical flavors, as well.
Meanwhile, Robert Trujillo shares his modest New Year’s Resolution: expanding his powers of communication with the world. Happy Holidays from Metallica HQ!

Episode 73: Lars Ulrich, Robert Trujillo, Jason Momoa, LA Rams’ Rob Havenstein
The week of December 18, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
Steff and Renée bring all the details from last week’s Helping Hands Concert & Auction at YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. Coverage starts during rehearsals when Lars and Robert share the band’s approach to the unique nature of this traditionally acoustic/electric show.
Metallica superfan Jason Momoa takes us back to his entrée into music, his love of bass, and his admiration for All Within My Hands. Then, LA Rams Offensive Tackle Rob Havenstein–who used NFL’s My Cause My Cleats initiative to spotlight AWMH–shares how he discovered the mighty Metallica.
We also get a review of the show itself, where our hosts discuss SistaStrings, Sammy Hagar and his “The Best Of All Worlds” band, and the very special Metallica sets.

Episode 72: Helping Hands Honorees Jeff Ament, Maggie Baird
The week of December 11, 2024 on The Metallica Report…
Steff and Renée are getting ready for the fourth biennial Helping Hands Concert & Auction on Friday, December 13, by speaking with two of this year’s honorees.
First, Renée catches up with actress Maggie Baird (aka the mother of Billie Eilish and Finneas) from Support + Feed. If that organization sounds familiar, it’s because Support + Feed joined us on the 2024 North American M72 run of shows, spreading the word about their work changing the food equity system through education around a plant-based diet.
Next, Renée and Steff enjoy an in-depth chat with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament, who discusses his non-profit organization, Montana Pool Service. MPS works to build world-class skate parks and connect youth communities in Montana, Washington, and South Dakota.
Though unavailable to join the podcast this week, we still get to hear from Father Greg Boyle, the founder of our third honoree this year, Homeboy Industries. By providing hope, training, and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people, Homeboy Industries has evolved into the largest gang intervention, rehab, and re-entry program in the world.

Metallica’s long-time tech, Zach Harmon, sits down to offer an overview of how the humble yet venerated guitar pick has developed over the years for this band. Zach explains the importance of shapes, colors, sizes, and styles of these tiny tools of the trade and reveals his own fervent attention to detail and creativity when it comes to such things as the now infamous “city picks.”
