The week of March 13, 2024 on The Metallica Report\u2026\n\nWhen it comes to Metallica\u2019s creative process, Greg Fidelman has become the \u201cunofficially official\u201d fifth member of the band.\nHe began his music career\xa0in the late \u201980s 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.\xa0\nAs you may know - and as Steffan, Ren\xe9e, and the whole Metallica operation are thankful for - he\u2019s been firmly entrenched in the Metallica camp since 2008, when he joined Rick Rubin\u2019s\xa0Death Magnetic\xa0production team.\xa0\nThe Metallica Report - your official, weekly guide for all things Metallica, straight from the source.
