Summary: SECOND-HAND INFORMATION
Review: All you've got in this book is second-hand information, taken from magazines. The writer has a good writing style, it is a good reading, his job was good-intentioned, but the result was very generic, no great insights into Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett and Newsted. Only for fans beginning to know Metallica and who wants to know the very basic stuff.

Summary: More Information than METALLICA UNBOUND
Review: I first read METALLICA UNBOUND, but that book did not give out enough information...But THIS book does. It goes into legnth about the death of Cliff Burton, hiring Jason to play bass, and life on the road. It also discusses life in the studio in great depths. If your a DIE-HARD Metallica fan and own the UNBOUND book, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.. Not as nicely put together as UNBOUND, but the facts and knowledge that went into writing this book is top-notch ! HIGHLY recommended !

Summary: This is the book on the background of Metallica.
Review: I have always been a fan of Metallica, ever since I heard "Nothing Else Matters" when I was 9. I was flipping through the tv, when I stopped at MTV. It was playing on that channel. Now I don't know why I was attracted to this song, this type of music, but I just knew that I liked it. My first Metallica cd was "The Black Album", released in 1991 (aka "Metallica"). Then "Load" followed, and then their best cd, "Reload". Which why now, a heavy Metallica fan, I recently bought this book. I was curious as to how Metallica got started, and why they're so damn good. This book answered all my questions. Its neat how they start out in a garage, now, they are the monsters of heavy metal. Details, this book has loads of details. From how James Hetfield, the lead singer playing rhythm guitar, can't read sheet music (but still rocks), to the band only being alloted five dollars a week from their contracters, this book tells all. As Lars Ulrich (drummer) says, "Metallica is it. When that ceases, thats it.". And he's right.

Summary: THERE IS NO GREAT DEPTH HERE !
Review: I'm a huge Metallica fan, so I bought this book hoping to read a great unauthorized biography. But all you'll get are parts of interviews conceded by the band to MTV or magazines around the world! THe iniative to write the book was honest, but the result totally disappointing.
