The Book Garden presents this weeks Friday Book Hour on Danahey “Birth. School. METALLICA. Death. - The Biography” by Ian Winwood and Paul Brannigan Listen to a conversation with author Ian Winwood from London about the worlds most successful band, Metallica. Tim Danahey admits he doesnt know a single song and could not recognize a single band member in a police lineup but admits this book is a must read. Metallicas story is a life lesson. It when Lars Ulrich has a far-reaching dream and absolutely no talent. He buys a drum kit and gives himself ten days to learn how to play. He meets James Hetfield through a newspaper ad and they have a decided lack of chemistry or respect toward each other. Ulrich finds a local heavy metal compilation is being made in Los Angeles and asks the producer to reserve a spot. The producer says, “You dont have a band.” Ulrich responds, “I will.” However, just through force of will and incredibly hard work, they fulfill their dreams. This story is actually inspiring although their lifestyles would probably kill an average person in four or five days. This is a fun conversation and it is the authors first American interview. You should buy the book. Listen to this conversation and archives starting Friday at Danahey and “Like” us at Facebook/TimDanaheyShow
