Two weeks ago I told you about a new book called "Metallica and Philosophy". I have read the first chapters and must say that it is really different from all books I have seen on the big M. It is 50% Metallica and 50% philosophy, so I felt a bit nervous at first, but after some reading I felt that it answered some questions about myself, heavy metal and Metallica that I could not even think of.

I short it told me why I like Metallica and similar music and I am now proud of playing Idiot Rock! It also takes the lyrics under new light so everything makes sense. This should not be the first book you read about the band, and if you have only been fan for a year or two, look elsewhere.

Instead of giving you a "buy" or "don't buy" I've been able to publish a full chapter for you. Download chapter 8, "Metallica's existential freedom" for free and make up your own mind. You can also buy the book from amazon.com.
