The greatest metal band around deserves the greatest tribute volume around. Thrillingly, in Metallica: The Stories Behind The Biggest Songs, that's exactly what hungry fans have been given.
When a band has won nine Grammys, seen five consecutive albums debut at #1 and sold over 100 million records, it doesn't just rank as one of the best of all time – it also qualifies as one of the most influential. That's why this superbly researched book is jam-packed with all the colour photos, fact boxes, discographical details and historical titbits that an act of such stature demands. Inside are the stories behind such classics as Ride the Lightning, The Shortest Straw and The God that Failed.
