Episode 377 - Producing Metallica

Clint is once again joined by friend and guest host Brad Blazeck to talk through the modern approach to producing Metallica through the insights of Greg Fidelman’s fantastic interview with Stefan Chirazi on The Metallica Report. They talk earning the bands trust, Greg’s hands-on method vs. Rick Rubin’s laid back vibe, the challenges of Lulu and S&M2, Metallica’s two-headed monster and why James Hetfield changes any room he walks into.They also discuss the ongoing drama surrounding Pearl Jam’s high ticket prices, Metallica’s lawsuit to recoup expenses from Covid cancellations, and the band’s performance at an Elton John/Bernie Taupin tribute.
