SNEAK PEEK OF THE MASTER OF PUPPETS BOOK COVER



Over a year ago we told you that we had teamed up with acclaimed award winning author Matt Taylor to tell the definitive story of Master of Puppets and the subsequent tour that followed its release. You all jumped in to assist us in putting the pieces together by sending your photos, videos, stories and mementos... we could not have done it without you! Here’s your first glance at the cover of Metallica: Back to the Front, which will see the light of day Fall of 2016.

We’re pretty sure it will be worth the wait as the book is chock full of exclusive intensive interviews with all of us as we spent countless hours with Matt digging deep in our memory banks for stories, anecdotes, tidbits and tales from the studio, the road and beyond. Matt spoke to all the major players at that time in our history, including those who were with us during the making of the record including producer Flemming Rasmussen and the man who mixed it, Michael Wagener. He tracked down the entire MOP road crew including John Marshall and members of the bands who toured with us, Anthrax and Armored Saint. Our booking agent, tour promoters and managers Cliff Burnstein and Peter Mensch all were overly generous with their time and recollections. Faith No More guitarist Jim Martin and drummer Mike Bordin and Diamond Head’s Brian Tatler spoke with Matt about their memories of those crazy times and of course you, the fans who were at those shows gave us an amazing view of your memories and experiences. Finally, we’re honored that Cliff Burton’s dad Ray sat down for an extensive interview.

We all hit the storage lockers, attics and basements to fill the book with hundreds of never-before-seen images pulled from our personal archives and have been involved every step of the way to bring you the complete story. No stone was left un-turned as we gear up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the album’s release.

Keep watching here as we’ll be back from time to time with more sneak peeks of pages from the book and of course details on the release.

nice. only took them 35 years to get their discography to double digits.

VHS?

That was like watching a clip from 'How it's Made'

SatoshiNak

Damn. I had no idea the band released an album after ...And Justice For All. I jest, although I have tried to repress everything from the band post-89, I'll have to check this out.

VHS?

It's 2016. Time to stop using that lame, old complaint about Metallica now.

islandclaws

Nothing about that Instagram post tells me they're done with the album. This could be a pressing of anything in their catalog - and that's A LOT of shit.

VHS?

TONIGHT

On February 6th, the eve of the nation's most anticipated sporting event, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees and Grammy Award winners Metallica will headline CBS Radio's The Night Before, a one-of-a-kind concert experience the evening prior to Super Bowl 50 at AT&T Park in the band's hometown of San Francisco, CA. The concert marks the band's first performance of 2016.

300 Metallica Fan Club members and friends of the band were invited down to AT&T Park last night (Friday, February 5th) for a special "The Night Before" Sound Check Party.

new album played tonight!!!!!

The Cow

The webstream looks pretty good, at least from the audience pan-and-scans so far.

Hope it sounds good.

Edit: wow, it sounds really good.

Love the opening graphic: "Too Heavy for Halftime"

JZ1276

Sometimes I like it better when bands release fewer albums. I listen to DM every few months & if Metallica had released a couple albums since then I wouldn't listen to it (or appreciate it) nearly as much.

VHS?

That was a hell of a show. Had no stream issues other than the occasional sync issue here and there. I just stopped and restarted the stream and all was good.
I wasn't aware there was a petition to have them play the SB. Too bad. It would have been better than what they have lined up for tomorrow by a mile. Oh well, like James said, it was for the better as they got to play a full show.

new revised cover

Josh-da-man

Actually looks pretty cool.

I wonder how the book will handle Cliff's death.

Hard to believe it's been thirty years. And he was only twenty-four.

mndtrp

That cover makes more sense than the first one, unless I'm missing something major.

Josh-da-man

Maybe one of them is a slipcase?
