Enter night. La storia dei Metallica

If you've been a fan of Metallica for years, you'll most likely not find anything in this that's not been spoken about numerous times. It was also very wordy and didn't have as much information from the band as I would have liked, he does go into detail about the inspirations for each band member. I Leggi tutto

چند روزه که این کتاب رو تموم کردم، ولی خب، راستش نمیدونستم دقیقا باید برای ریویو چی بنویسیم. متالیکا واقع گرایانه ترین موسیقی که تا الان دیدم. و اینکه صددرصد، روی زندگیم تاثیر زیادی گذاشت. فکر کنم اولین باری که از گروه متالیکا آهنگ شنیدم، ده-یازده سالم بود. یکی از دوستام که خیلی سنش بالاتر بود برام آ Leggi tutto

“No party music, no girl magnet ballads. Just brutal, attack-oriented, audio death”. ..and with that quote, it becomes impossible to really sum up Metallica better. I’ve been a big fan of these guys since I was 15 years old and finally welcomed the chance to read an official biography on the band. Al Leggi tutto

Metallica was formed the year I was born (1981) so I couldn’t recall their New Wave British Metal influence or anything about the birth of Thrash in the US.

Does the author even like Metallica? I wouldn't know, because he seems to take every opportunity to discuss literally any band instead of the one band he's supposed to be writing about. I get it, Metallica is influenced by many of their predecessors, contemporaries, even challengers, but I don't nee Leggi tutto

I learned a lot about the history of Metallica but the author could have cut this book by a third. It was very wordy, particularly in the first section, and didn't have as much information from the band as I would have liked. The author is a music writer by trade so he goes into extreme detail about Leggi tutto

For a band that has just celebrated their 30th anniversary, the book seems to skip over a lot that has happened since 1986. Almost half of the book covers these first five years, and the rest of the book seems rushed to cram in the subsequent albums. The worst point to me was the amount of personal

Had to try this bio of Metallica - I listened to them in high school and they're fascinating. It was, on the whole, interesting and informative, but I couldn't stand the writing. It was awful. Beyond the typo-every-page editing, he was just a whiny narrative voice with something to prove to the worl Leggi tutto

Enter Night is one of the best band biographies I've ever read. It touched upon many important points in Metallica history, answered numerous things I'd only known as rumors or unbelievable, and dug into dirt and a dark side I'd never know about one of my biggest musical influences--things never kno Leggi tutto
