I have been a fan of Metallica's music for a number of years now. Never have I seen such dedication to their fans, that other bands don't seem to have.
I just purchased this book, not too long ago, and I read about every single verse of the book. James Hetfield, the writer of the lyrics, is a very deep and honest man, when it comes to the way he feels, about the world. I have to give him credit for being so straight forward, and honest about how he sees life. I sometimes wish I could go that deep with my own writing.
I enjoyed reading the words from the previous three album releases, as they had no lyric sheet with the albums. Metallica isn't shameful of who they are, or what they accomplished, and this book reflects it. They, mainly James Hetfield, let us in to their world, and what they're about.

If you are truly a Metallica fan, this book is a must. In response to another review, of course there are no pictures, it's a LYRICS book! Overall it's a great book, it includes all the official releases except for the album "St. Anger." It is true that most albums (except "Load" and "Reload") have the lyrics in the booklet, but if you are actually interested in reading the lyrics, you can't spend all your time switching all the various booklets, then you wouldn't get to listen to the song! Using this book is very convenient seeing as how all the songs are put in chronologaical order, and it only costs 15 dollars!!! If you are a REAL Metallica fan, you should have this book by your stereo, ready to be opened and read!

Good Book of Lyrics up till the Re-Load Album. Clear and easy to read. Nicley presented. Song cedits listed as well.

being a fan of a major band like metaliica is like being in a marriage you stick by them through thick and thin, they have matured in life and musically ...being big and selling millions of records over the period of 2 decades ,dix. this book deserves to be looked at and read over to fully understand their songs...

Well the book title sums this up altogether. All the bands lyrics in a 112 page book with just that...lyrics. Not 1 picture of the band, just lyrics.

These lyrics you probably already own if you have the bands albums. The only lyrics that you won't already have in the album booklets is the Load and ReLoad lyrics which are published officially for the first time right here in this book along with the lyrics to the bands last single "I Disappear" which featured in the film "Mission Impossible 2".

So out of the 74 songs on the albums you only really buy this album for 28 songs.

Only get this if you are a die hard Metallica completist or desperate for the lyrics to the Load and Reload albums and I can't see many people shelling out the money for lyrics to those.

why waste money on this?? get the lyrics for FREE of the internet. If it becomes a collectors item it'll be solely because no-one bought the darn thing!!
