So What! The Good, the Mad, and the Ugly

In the fall of 1993, Metallica had just finished a 302-date world tour, and sold 15 million copies of the "Black" album worldwide. It was time, Metallica decided, to speak directly to fans through their own publication devoted entirely to an uncensored, inside look at the band. In early 1994 they launched So What! magazine, exclusively for fan club members. A decade later, it remains the only place in print to meet and mingle intimately with Metallica. So What!: The Good, the Mad, and the Ugly, the first-ever official illustrated chronicle of Metallica, draws on the magazine's colossal resources to create the ultimate book for all Metallica fans.Metallica is the author of 'So What! The Good, the Mad, and the Ugly', published 2004 under ISBN 9780767918817 and ISBN 0767918819.
