From quasi-Motorhead tribute act to one of the biggest rock ’n’ roll bands on the planet, the Metallica story has been crying out for a proper telling which it finally gets courtesy of this meticulously researched biog. While sometimes a bit too anoraky for its own good – do we really need to know the line-up of Jason Newsted’s school band? - it doesn’t shy away from contentious issues like James Hetfield’s boorish redneckery or their bullying of fan websites.
