The biggest heavy metal band in the world in the early years of the 21st Century is Metallica, whose profile has now grown to the extent that they are no longer simply musicians. To their legions of fans, they are nothing less than and after twenty years in the spotlight, it seems that they can do no wrong. Or can they? Justice For The Truth About Metallica is no simple biography. Although it tells the full story of this unique band to a level of detail never attempted before, it has a second to reveal and debunk the myths that have sprung up around Metallica over the years, based on false information, rumour, hyperbole and good old-fashioned showbiz hype. For example, many people believe that Metallica are solely responsible for the rise of thrash metal in the early Eighties; that their pivotal record, Metallica (the 'Black Album') is a historically important and musically unsurpassable work; and that the band were wholly right (or wholly wrong) to attack Napster in 2000, which ultimately resulted in the company's liquidation. More simply, thousands of Metallica fans believe that their music has been of unacceptably low quality since the Black Album - or alternatively, that every note they have recorded since then is the sound of genius at work. This book provides a balanced, supported analysis of these and other pressing issues and provides clear, unbiased answers to the questions which surround this equally loved and hated band. The author has not resorted either to a simple volume of hero-worship (although he loves much of Metallica's music with an almost unhealthy passion) or a book of false accusations and vented spleen - although the band have been the subject of both critical approaches in the past. This book is one of a kind. Justice For All is the first, and probably the last, biography to tell the Metallica story as it deserves to be with honesty, accuracy and courage.
