    The Westside Tribe is Alive 

                            In order to look into the future, it is important to observe the past. So said a wise man somewhere once. Either that or I read it on a fortune cookie last week.

    To Dare Is To Do - S&M² 

                            Which is precisely what Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra did for approximately 35,000 lucky attendees over Friday, Sept 6 and Sunday, Sept 8 in San Francisco’s brand-new Chase Center, as Steffan Chirazi explains.

    Ace of Bass 

                            Admittedly that is a cheesy headline, however in the case of Rob Trujillo, it is also kinda true. Steffan Chirazi speaks with him about the tools of his trade from childhood to WorldWired. Brett Murray films the love.

  1. James Hetfield – The So What! “…And Justice for All” Interview
    July 26, 2019

    James Hetfield – The So What! “…And Justice for All” Interview 

                            Which is why looking back, ***…And Justice for All*** was so utterly vital: its life, resonance, and “new” line-up proving that Metallica was going to smash its way larger than life through all obstacles, as opposed to drift quietly into the background.

    The Lords of Summer Return in Lisbon for the Worldwired European Summer (…Vacation??? Errr, no, not really, it’s hard stuff) 

                            Yes ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it is stadium time again, which means Lars, James, Rob and Kirk are actively re-entering the very physical endeavor of the WorldWired mileage zone as they prepare to cover vast tracts of their enormous stage.

    Bye Bye America (Hello Europe!) – The Final Show of the North American WorldWired Adventures 

                            More than anything, they signed up for a journey and got back not just a ticket to ride all over, but a family and community which will last longer than any Metallica tour – even WorldWired!

  4. Kirk Hammett: The So What! …AJFA Interview
    January 4, 2019

    Kirk Hammett: The So What! …AJFA Interview 

                            Asking Kirk to cast his mind back over three decades ago could well be asking a lot. But he is always able to slip effortlessly into whatever conversational mode is required, and within minutes we find ourselves reflecting on all things Justice with the Hawaiian scenery temporarily forgotten.
