This is a great book to have on hand. I immediately delved in to answer some little niggling questions that had been in the back of my mind for the quarter of a century that I've been following these guys… Well, at least since the Load and ReLoad days lol, when they didn't bother with printing the full lyrics. (Some fans might not care, but I've been an avid follower of all things 'Tallica related :) ).
The author has understandably omitted the entire Garage Inc. Album lyrics, considering that they are, after all, covers. I had hoped for the lyrics to their medley ‘Mercyful Fate’ (named after said band), considering that it was their own creation, to an extent, but never mind. The Internet can easily answer those questions. The album S&M is also left out, but importantly, No Leaf Clover and – Human's lyrics are included. :)
Each track is given its own page/s, and each album its own chapter. Metallica's work has been treated with respect.
What you WON'T find in this book are the lyrics to:
When a Blind Man Cries Rebel of Babylon Hell and Back Just A Bullet Away Hate Train Temptation We Did It Again Hell Isn't Good For Whom the Bell Tolls (The Irony of it All)
