Publisher's Synopsis
Metallica is the biggest metal band of all time. The California quartet has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, won nine Grammys, and had five consecutive albums hit number one on the US Billboard chart. But theirs is a tale about much more than sales figures and critical acclaim, and their journey from scuzzy Los Angeles garages to the worlds most storied stadiums has been dramatic and painful. This is the definitive story of the most significant rock band since Led Zeppelin. Its a story about family, community, self-belief, and the pursuit of dreams, which unfolds through firsthand interviews with the band and those closest to it.
