Not quite as shit and a bit shorter than the first volume. Features more actual interview content due to both authors beginning their rock journo careers in 1992. Still a bit of padding and the odd tone of writing. All to get round not being official I suppose. Gave a slightly deeper insight into Metallica’s later years than Mick Wall, and also included LuLu and Through The Never, which happened after Wall's book. Still too much editorialising, although I agree with more of their opinions… It seems surprising Metallica are still going with the number of internal problems and financial fuck-ups made. Still, might be interesting to see what comes out next.

Will probably avoid any more biographies written by these two cos the style is just too damn grating.
