{"product_id":"9781906191047-secondhand-james-hetfield-the-wolf-at-metallicas-door","title":"James Hetfield: The Wolf at Metallica's Door","description":"Metallica's seat at the top-table of rock is already assured. A huge part of their stunning\ntransition from obscure thrash metal pioneers into globe-crushing rock megastars is\nsinger, guitarist and co-songwriter James Hetfield, whose instantly recognisable and\noverwhelming presence has guided their every dramatic step.\nBrought up in a household aligned to Christian Science, his early life was inevitably\novertly religious, yet by his early teens he was a keen fan of rock acts such as Black\nSabbath and Motorhead.\nWorking through the visceral thrash metal underground scene with Metallica, Hetfield\nexploded onto the global scene with their seminal eponymous album and his place in\nthe rock pantheon was assured. However, behind the scenes was a complex band\nfronted by a genius who had his own personal battles to fight - internal friction, tragedy\nand the demands of global fame lacerated the band and in 2001 Hetfield headed into\nrehab to address 'undisclosed dependencies', throwing the future of Metallica into\nconsiderable doubt.\nHis subsequent blistering re-emergence as a re-invented rock legend is a personal and\nprofessional triumph; Hetfield's often misunderstood intellectual and warm personality\nallied to his stunning ability certainly deserves honest recognition - The Wolf At\nMetallica's Door is the first book to chronicle this remarkable man's life.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48777224487131,"sku":"9781906191047-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/fff8d57a-53f6-4520-8533-ff7735bf6d2e.jpg?v=1778863103","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781906191047-secondhand-james-hetfield-the-wolf-at-metallicas-door","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
