This is really good guys - part 5, about Metallica, is a good place to jump in.
i like the idea of this series
big bands who are actually good never really get proper coverage from 'into music' types (beyond like Classic Rock magazine obviously)
Read 3,5,6 and 7 so far
They are really good - thanks for linking.
bookmarked
