Metallica’s longtime poster artist, Squindo, sat down with Nikki Blakk to talk about his decades-long relationship with the band, from creating art for the 72 Seasons tour to unforgettable moments with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from shows at the Fillmore, S&M2, and even a metal double date with James at a Baroness concert.
The interview also previews his upcoming San Francisco gallery show, 104 Seasons of Metallica, taking place at Manny’s on 16th & Valencia before Damage Inc. hits the stage at Bimbo’s.
Whether it’s getting creative direction from Lars or soaking in surreal moments backstage, his stories offer a unique glimpse into the world of Metallica through an artist’s eyes.
Fans are encouraged to grab tickets early—Manny’s is a small venue, and this exclusive look at Metallica-inspired art is one night only.
