"He just gets right the fuck in there. . . . Every drop of sweat, every molecule of saliva, every out-of-place nose hair, it all gets captured cuz he's just fucking there."--Lars Ulrich Legendary music photographer Ross Halfin has documented Metallica for nearly 25 years, from their beginnings as a scrappy, furious garage band to their current status as the heaviest and most popular metal band in the world. The Ultimate Metallica collects the best of Halfin's amazing images, taken over the years with access granted exclusively to him as the band's main lensman. His candid photographs--taken on stage, backstage, on and off tour--are supplemented by text from many people close to the band, including managers and music writers, plus some colorful personal observations from Halfin himself.… (more)

I've been a Metallica fan for the better part of 10 years. While NOTHING could ever compare to the disappointment I felt after my first listen of 2003's St. Anger, I've enjoyed everything else they've ever recorded. I've purchased all of their albums, several t-shirts and live recordings. Hell, I even owned the action figures!

I'd never even heard of this book until I opened it as a Christmas present from a friend of mine. I was both surprised and excited.

That being said, not a whole lot to write about this one.

Ross Halfin followed the boys in Metallica for the majority of their 30 year career and took some fine pictures along the way. Contained within this book are photos from their early days through to their recent release, "Death Magnetic" and the 2 year tour that followed. While I've never been to Metallica show, I've seen a few on home video. It's amazing how Halfin can capture the energy in a Metallica show in just a few photos. (
