Episode 83: Treasures from James Hetfield’s Archives - Further Exploration of Metallica’s Vault

The week of February 26, 2025 on The Metallica Report… We pick back up with Steff and Renée, who are still immersed in Metallica’s archival vault. In this episode, they travel down a James Hetfield rabbit hole filled with original notebooks, lyrics, doodles, and more. Reveling in the energy emanating from the pages, our hosts seize the opportunity to get an intimate read on the frontman from a much younger season, noting how intentional his creative force has always been. And to his delight, Steff stumbles upon another blast from his own past, though he seems to remember it differently.
