The week of February 5, 2025 on The Metallica Report…
Legendary music critic David Fricke details his decades-long journey with Metallica, writing some of rock journalism’s most unflinching and detailed stories about the band through the pages of Rolling Stone magazine. Beginning with their first full-assignment encounter on the Damaged Justice tour, David shares observations of Metallica’s unique fan connection and growth as the Four Horsemen ascended. David also explains how he managed to tap into the heart, mind, and soul of James Hetfield for arguably the most famous Rolling Stone/Metallica cover story back in April 1993.
