5.0 out of 5 stars Masters of Metal, January 6, 2000

This review is from: Metallica Unbound (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Metallica Unbound (Paperback)

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 Full of facts (both widely known and others not known at all) and unpublished pictures of the band from their garage days to their glory days, the only thing that K.J. Doughton's book lacks is in terms of depth about Cliff Burton's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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Metallica Unboud : The Unofficial Biography, September 23, 2001

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.
