SO WHAT! Dobrzy, wściekli i brzydcy. Oficjalna ilustrowana kronika zespołu Metallica - Pod redakcją STEFFANA CHIRAZI - OSTATNIE EGZEMPLARZE

OUT OF PRINT FOR A LONG TIME! "So What! Dobrzy, wściekli i brzydcy", the first official illustrated chronicle of Metallica, drawing on the magazine's huge archival resources, becomes almost an encyclopedia for all Metallica fans. From the very beginning in the 80s as young, fascinating, unpolished, loud and unknown to anyone, up to the latest album, selling in millions of copies, "St. Anger" (containing the title track, the 2004 Grammy winner), Metallica earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed and hardest-playing bands of all time. Based on material created for their official fan club magazine of the same title, ''So What!: Dobrzy, wciekli i brzydcy'' is a unique Metallica commemorative album. It contains transcripts of unpublished round-table discussions, extracts from diaries, and personal comments scribbled here and there by the band members - as well as festival reports, the band's answers to fans' questions, and about a thousand rare photos - "So What!" uncovers many milestones and memories of the longest-lasting and best-known metal band in the world. The book also candidly shows Metallica's darker days: the search for a new bassist, details of the rehab treatment of vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield, notes taken during their protracted hiatus from 1999 to 2002. As the only complete and fully authorised book of its kind, "So What!" offers the legions of Metallica fans a universal pass to the band, onto the stage, backstage and even more. Founded in 1981 in the suburbs of Los Angeles by James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, today METALLICA consists of Hetfield, Ulrich, guitarist Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. STEFFAN CHIRAZI first met Metallica in 1984 as a seventeen-year-old rock journalist. Now, twenty years later, he is the editor-in-chief of the magazine "So What!". Metallica and Chirazi live in San Francisco. In autumn 1993, Metallica had just finished a tour consisting of 302 concerts, and had sold 15 million copies of the 'Black' album worldwide. It was then time, as Metallica decided, to speak directly to the fans through their own publications devoted to a completely uncensored look inside the band. At the beginning of 1994 they began to publish the magazine "So What!", intended exclusively for members of their fan club. Ten years later, that magazine remains the only printed medium where you can meet and get to know Metallica closely. 286 pages, format 28 x 22 cm, hardback. (Kagra, 2005)
