Description

Alongside competitors Slayer, Megadeath and Anthrax, Metallica found prominence in the eighties as you of the 'big four' of thrash metal. Metallica were to thrash, however, exactly what the Sex Pistols were to punk. Almost thirty years on, their story is among rule-breaking, booze and tragically early death. But allied to that are huge revenue numbers due to their documents -- they're the sixth-highest-selling recording artists ever -- and people with skills that contact on traditional music and jazz.
