DONT GET THIS BOOK! IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE VERY BEGINING TO THE 4 HORSEMEN. IT DOESNT HAVE THE SOLOS AND IS VERY BAD QUALITY. ITS MISSING ABOUT HALF THE SONG OF ALL THE SONGS! DONT GET THIS BOOK.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crap, December 27, 2003

This review is from: Metallica - Kill 'Em All* (Play it Like it is) (Paperback)

I must say, This is by far the worst tab book I have ever purchased. On top of NOT including the solos, it is very unclear how to play the songs. I have even found a one mistake in the book, and I have only had it one day. I am the biggest Metallica fan you'll ever find, and I am a decent guitarist. This is a horrible book. I have found that all Cherry Lane Music books are disgusting quality. I would definitely recomend you pitch in the extra 3 or 4 dollars and get the other Kill Em All tab book. I can surely say that the other tab book can not remotely be as sh*ty as this. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.

As soon as you learn a couple of bars you realize this is mostly James' rhythm parts without any Kirk leads. I'm not quite sure why they would label this book "Play it like it is". That title makes one think this is a note for note transcription which it is far from. It's not a terrible book. I'm sure a beginning guitarist could really benefit from it, but I just feel like the marketers at this company are bold faced liers for the title. I would give it more stars if it had a more honest title like "Easy Metallica" "Beginner's Metallica" or, more aptly, "Wound 'em All".
