Metallica: Back to the Front; a Fully Authorized Visual History of the Master of Puppets Album and Tour | Matt Taylor
10 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Metallica: Back to the Front tells the amazing, fully authorized story of the band's seminal Master of Puppets album and tour. Released on March 3, 1986, Metallica's Master of Puppets album became an instant classic and announced the band as the most electrifying new voice in rock. Thirty years later, this six-time platinum album is considered to be the high-water mark of Metallica's incredible career, with songs like "Battery," "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," and the title track, "Master of Puppets," still a staple of their sell-out live shows. Sadly, this hugely successful period for Metallica was marred by a tragedy that shook the band to its foundation: the death of bassist Cliff Burton in a tour bus accident on September 27, 1986. For the first time, Metallica: Back to the Front tells the fully authorized story of the creation of the Master of Puppets album and the subsequent tour. Featuring new and exclusive interviews with band members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, this is the definitive account of the most venerated period of Metallica's history, from the incredible highs of touring in support of Ozzy Osbourne to the lows of losing a key member of the band and crucial part of the Metallica sound. Metallica: Back to the Front will also feature interviews with other important figures in the band's history, including managers Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch, Faith No More guitarist Jim Martin, Anthrax band members Scott Ian and Charlie Benante, and many, many more. Filled with hundreds of never-before-seen images from the band's personal archives, this deluxe volume will combine an in-depth narrative with stunning visuals, taking fans further into this defining period of the band's career than ever before. Released to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the Master of Puppets album and tour, Metallica: Back to the Front is created with the full cooperation and support of the band. The result is a treasure trove of stories, anecdotes, and never-before-seen photographs that legions of Metallica fans will cherish for generations to come.

Fun non-bookish fact. Any time this song comes on I am reminded of my 4yr old nephew and the fact that during a church camp concert he said that he wanted to sing Enter Sandman. He knows all the words and can drum his sticks along to the beat.

Preppin' for the concert here in Singapore on Sunday with this fantastic history of Metallica's origins and the making of and tour of its epic "Master of Puppets" album. Reads like a round-table interview with the band and others in their close circle. ????

LauraKath My favorite baaaand! So jealous! I'm hoping they come to NYC this summer! So far, nothing on the tour list. 😭 8y
kristinshafel @LauraKath My husband's favorite band too! I'm super excited, never seen 'em before either. I bet they'll add a North American tour after this Asia tour! 8y
LauraKath Yes! I hope too! They always start down in South America and that's when the wait begins. I hope you enjoy the show! I saw them last summer, it was amazing. 8y
