Customer Reviews

This is how to do a band bio

Spanning Metallica's entire history up until 1993; this slickly put together unofficial biography is an absolute must have for Metallica fans young and old. Full of facts (both widely known and others not known at all) and unpublished pictures of the band from their garage days to their glory days, the only thing that K.J. Doughton's book lacks is in terms of depth about Cliff Burton's untimely death and more of what Jason Newsted went through in joining the band. All that aside however, out of all the "unauthorized" and "unofficial" biographies of Metallica that have been out there for years, this is undoubtadly the most well put together one, and is surely the best.

Metallica Unboud : The Unofficial Biography

I first got this book when I was just starting to get into 'Tallica, and I was so glad I did after reading this. It tells you everything, from Lars' moving to California from Denmark to James' mom to Kirk's entering the band to Cliff's death to Jason's entrance to James' unfortunate fire accident. The pictures are also really good. A must for true Met fans.

Masters of Metal

This book is amazing. It's got everything you would need to know about Metallica. My only problem is that it was written in just after the Black Album, so if you're looking for recent info, you may want a different book. However, if this doesnt matter or you are a collector of anything by Metallica or about Metallica, you need this book. It covers all of the history of the band, from when they played the Whiskey in San Francisco to the release of the Black Album. It also covers the tours Metallica has appeared on or headlined. The book has around 50 pictures as well. I strongly reccomend this book to anyone looking for information on the greatest band of all time.

Wonderful book

This book is great. The author tells the story of Metallica from the very beginning, how the band members got together, etc. In addition to that, it contains a very interesting (and a little funny) interview with James from the early 1990s. The photos are also great! There are a few cool pictures of the band back from 1981-1982 with Dave. I could not put the book down once I started reading.:)

The most info for the beginning of the greatest band of all.

K.J. really knows Metallica pretty well. This book is filled with the most and the best info on the bands any fan would want. Most of this info you wouldn't even hear from the band that much. This boook is for the littlest Metallica fan to the Die Hard long time Metallica fan. After reading this book I have found out a lot of stuff about Metallica and thier roots. Coming from the town where the first Fan club had come from and where somewhat the beginning of Metallica's history had begun this is the book for all people Metallica fan or not.
