## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent account of the MOP era.
*by C***S on January 29, 2017*

This book is very well laid out and edited. They pay homage to Cliff in the most respective and honest way. I appreciate the way the book first focuses on the countdown to the tragedy and then takes you through the bands beginning post KEA, to creation of RTL and MOP. So many great pictures that will for anyone who was a teenager in the 1980’s, and was into metal, will relate to. I was one of those guys in the leather jacket and denim jeans. I had one of those “fan made bootleg” tapes that just blew you away and got you excited to see these guys, who looked like us, come to our town and play live. Loads of first-hand accounts of life on and off the tour from the band members, personal friends, professional associates and fans. Great forward by James and a heartfelt closing account from Lars. Also, an uplifting message from Cliff’s father that’s really great. You may know the band and its history pretty well but I guarantee you will discover something new and will take you back to those exciting days hanging out with friends in the school parking lot, trading tapes and going to concerts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book!!!
*by O***A on June 4, 2024*

Excellent visual history of the best metal album!Metallica in their best creative moments, youth and passion.Best book for Metallica fans

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Feels like actual time travel to 1986!?
*by S***E on September 18, 2016*

I haven't listened to Metallica in ages, but during this book's timeframe, I listened to them all day, every day, so I've been waiting with bated breath for this, & it DOES NOT disappoint! Lots of commentary & photos from actual fans included, that perfectly describe the whole mania surrounding this band, as they came into their own. Enjoyed all the insight on our beloved Cliff Burton as well. Plan to check out the book's creator's JAWS book soon too, if this is any indication of his attention to detail, and I thank all involved for these priceless photos of our memories, (I was scared to take my camera on front row at the May 3/Aug 3, '86 shows)! Going to get a new MOP now..still only had it on vinyl!? Rekindling my interest...!?
