Robert Trujillo offers a detailed breakdown of how he dealt with all matters of world and creativity in a pandemic, and how he saw the journey into ***72 Seasons*** being created.
Tony Esposito sits down with Steffan Chirazi to discuss what early influences drew him into music and how White Reaper approached their cover of "Sad But True" for The Metallica Blacklist.
One of the Blacklist’s greatest joys is its international flavor. Steffan Chirazi had never heard of YB before their excellent take on “Sad But True,” but once he scratched the surface, he found a massive South Korean band with an enormous, dedicated following. YB’s founder and core – Yoon Do Hyun – talks with Chirazi through his translator Albert Park about the band, the cover, and playing in North Korea.
Adventure is everything when it comes to whiskeys, and Rob Dietrich has made sure that BLACKENED® American Whiskey dares to be bold by initiating the Masters of Whiskey Series. Kicking things off is BLACKENED x Willett Straight Kentucky Rye Finished in Madeira Casks. Steffan Chirazi gets a full measure of the story.
Having started playing piano at the age of three, Igor Levit has spent the last 31 years becoming one of the masters of his trade. Steffan Chirazi finds out that while he deftly interpreted “Nothing Else Matters,” plenty actually does matter to him personally.
One of the most influential and important singers/frontmen in modern music, Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode might not seem as though he’d have much in common with Metallica or James Hetfield, but you’d do well to think again.
Ken Taylor might come across as a rather quiet, unassuming fellow, but by the end of their conversation, Steffan Chirazi became convinced he might well be some sort of lupine-human hybrid.
For fans, it is time to dive into The Black Album Deluxe Box Set, which has been arriving on doorsteps for a few days now. Dan Nykolayko, however, has lived with the box set and its content – as well as its delays, triumphs, and “pivots” – since roughly two weeks after the …And Justice For All package was released in November 2018.
Rodrigo y Gabriela chat with Steffan Chirazi about their history with Metallica’s music and their approach to translating “The Struggle Within” to an acoustic, instrumental track.
The zoom flickers to life, and there he is, Jason Newsted, as ebullient, energetic, and friendly as ever.
Cody Melick, aka Pitchgrim, enjoys an enigmatic approach to life and art. Florida-born, Melick’s mom worked for Disney, giving young Cody an early appetite for creative magic. But he didn’t quite find himself deeply in love with illustration until he drew the character for an ad for the video game Bubsy.
