Justice For All,...The Truth About Metallica
Right now I have about 100 pages left. So far it's been good though some of the author's opinions in the chapter on the Loads had me shaking my head.
The author calls some of the best songs on the Loads crap and calls some of the songs that I wish Metallica would have never made good. He also makes some rants that if he would have did some more research would have found out arnt true. When bringing up the song "Ronnie" from Load he complains about how Hetfield's singing another song about his troubled childhood when it's obvious it's about a school shooting and is actually based on a 1995 shooting in Washington.
But I did learn alot of stuff about their history that I never did know before. The book is unauthorized so everything that the author wanted in is in the book without any influence from Metallica. All the facts that are in the book are based off of interviews with people who either know/knew the band well or people who who were close to the heavy metal scene when Metallica was first starting out.
