Episode 33: Producer Greg Fidelman

The Metallica Report

The week of March 13, 2024 on The Metallica Report…

When it comes to Metallica’s creative process, Greg Fidelman has become the “unofficially official” fifth member of the band.

He began his music career in the late ’80s as the lead guitarist of his own group, but Greg really hit his stride on the other side of the studio glass about a decade later. From engineer to mixer to producer, this Grammy-winner has worked with some major heavyweights, including Johnny Cash, Neil Diamond, Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Slayer.

As you may know - and as Steffan, Renée, and the whole Metallica operation are thankful for - he’s been firmly entrenched in the Metallica camp since 2008, when he joined Rick Rubin’s Death Magnetic production team.
