Episode 57: Kirk Hammett; James Hetfield; Metallica’s Tour Manager, Eric Johnson
The week of August 28, 2014 on The Metallica Report… Our two favorite guitarists stop by for a little chat with Steffan and Renée.  With Metallica getting ready to hit the stage at Lumen Field this weekend, Kirk thinks back to another visit to Seattle, 35 years ago, when the band played possibly the fastest version of “Whiplash” we’ve ever heard.  Then, James talks Westerns and what it was like on the set of The Thicket, the new film starring Peter Dinklage and Juliette Lewis. The film also features none other than Papa Het in his element out in the wilderness. Finally, Eric Johnson, Metallica’s Tour Manager, shares his version of life on the road and how he stays busy during the downtime with his own artistic expression.  The Metallica Report - your official, weekly guide for all things Metallica, straight from the source.
