For Whom The Bells Toll

Metallica;This Monster Lives
This is a relative rarity for our blog. A Non-fiction book! This was a book about the guy who shot the movie about the thrash metal band Metallica. It was pretty short only like 400 pages. It really gave me new respect for Metallica. They aren't as indestructible as their music says they are. Yes, the movie/Documentary is about them being spoiled rock stars. Their biggest problem wasn't moneyand none of them died. Their problem was that they just didn't like each other! Psh. Hetfield was getting drunk all the time and he was being a total control freak over lyrics and writing the all the music. Ulrich was just generally pissed off. Newstead had just exited from the band. Hammet was being a peace-keeper. There were little everyday problems for normal people. The band almost falls apart, which is like why? The biggest issue they had was Hetfield going to rehab for a year and everybody being in limbo. Check it out if your a serious Metallica fan. Otherwise do what i did. Get it in a college (used) book store for 2 bucks. Nice. 6 pretzels.
