Welcome to Litsy!

Yaaaasss Metallica!
Interesting look on the history of the band.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Metallica was formed the year I was born (1981) and I became a fan by default because of my older brother. He and I saw them live recently and, in a burst of nostalgia, I picked up this biography. Central to their story is bassist Cliff Burton‘s wholly devastating death in 1986; something they never really recovered from even with their massive success. Mick Wall gets bogged down in the minutiae, but it‘s a fascinating history.

I‘m certainly glad they didn‘t go with “Thunderfuck.”

🤘🏻Metallica!! ⚡️Saw them last night with my brother who has been a MASSIVE fan since the 80s. I can remember him constantly blaring them from his bedroom. I became a fan by default (no complaints). They put on a fantastic show!

❓- Has anyone read the tagged Metallica biography? I‘m thinking about reading it soon.

I learned a bit about the history of Metallica but the author could have cut this book by a third.

It was very wordy and didn't have as much information from the band as I would have liked, he does go into detail about the inspirations for each band member.

I look forward to reading more about the band, this book just falls flat.

I'd like one where the band are completely involved.

That being said, I love Metallica! 🤘

#biography

Love rocking out to one of the first rock albums that I bought in middle school. My tastes have become a lot heavier and eclectic over time, but still love this music 🎶

3/5⭐️ A good biography about a good band! It could have been a little shorter, but it's still a book worth reading if you like Metallica. Read in February 2017.
