This morning buskers were playing Metallica songs at tube stations across London to celebrate the publication of Birth School Metallica Death: Volume 1 by Paul Brannigan and Ian Winwood. They'll be playing again from 5pm - 7.30pm!

 

 

Birth School Metallica Death is the definitive story of the band by two journalists who have had unprecedented access to them over the years. They have ridden in the band’s limos, flown on their private jet, joined them in the studio, been invited to the quartet’s ‘HQ’ outside San Francisco and shared beers and stories with them in venues across the globe. There are countless memorable stories about the band never before seen in print, tales of bed-hopping and drug-taking and car-crashes and fist-fights and back-stabbing that occur when you mix testosterone and adrenaline, alcohol and egomania, talent and raw ambition.

Sounds like fun, huh?

Never forget:
