Publisher's Summary

"Of all the heavy metal bands, Metallica are the ones with intelligence. They don't just sing about death; they sing about intelligent things in your life," says an ardent fan.

Metallica, who are unparalleled in the hard rock market, have sold well over 30 million albums. They are a band that refused to compromise. They have stuck to what they know, and they have abided by their own rules. Lars says, "As time goes by, Metallica are appealing to more and more people – it’s great when people get something positive out of our music, because it's not all dark and gloomy."

This is a fantastically revealing audiobiog, during which the band explains how they connect with the fans, discuss their relationship with each other, and share those personal moments. This is not a music release by the artist or record company, and sound quality may vary. We get a personal insight into the motivation and inspiration for Metallica songs and how and why they have always set themselves apart from other bands. "We don't want to be limited - people are welcome to come along for the ride but that ride will cover a lot of ground, musically, lyrically and everyway - we want to make people less narrow minded."

Metallica's Story is revealing and unique and must not be missed by fans, collectors and music historians.
