Metallica's Lars Ulrich has managed to book an exclusive and elite trio of guests for the next three episodes of It's Electric, his Apple Music radio show: James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo. "I listened to Kirk's episode yesterday, and it's definitely unlike anything that Metallica fans have ever heard," he tells Rolling Stone. "Each of them put together a playlist that reflects certain elements of their past – stuff from back in the day and stuff that helped shape who they are musically – and I learned a lot. As the world's biggest Metallica fan, I got the chance to interview these guys and learn more about their musical DNA."



The drummer recorded each of the shows when the band was in Toronto on their ongoing WorldWired tour, and he will be airing the episodes – with one full hour dedicated to each member – on Sundays at 6 p.m. EST on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio with encore airings running at 6 a.m. EST on Mondays. Hammett's episode will air first on July 30th, with Trujillo (August 6th) and Hetfield (August 13th) to follow.
