DESCRIPTION:
Metallica is GREAT and so is this BOOK!!! The Great Guldna I started listening to Metallica in my teens shortly after the release of RTL. I even quoted Motorbreath in my high school yearbook. At the time listening to Metallica and "acting like a maniac" is what came natural to me. Who would have ever thought I was such an existentialist?I always felt a deep connection to their music, but at that time I didn't even know what philospohy really meant. Metallica's lyrics provoked my thoughts and the raw power of their music just always felt right to me. So if you were like me ,you didn't get into Metallica to be philosophical. That's not what we were about.I first. David E. Savastano said A great read. I've always considered Metallica to be a "thinking person's" band. Yes, the power of the music is a cut above, but the lyrics go deeper than do those of most other groups. This book reinforces that belief. It is intelligently written by experts in the field who are obviously Metallica fans. The entire concept of relating philosophy to popular culture is great. Plan on reading others as well, and would like to see books on Rush and Pink Floyd & Philosophy.. Excellent buy!! Very insightful. It sheds a brand new light on the lyrics and the inspirations for Metallica's songs. The book elevates the band to a truly iconic status.
