METALLICA: THE CLUB DAYZ

Quote :

Just wanted to let you all know that BILL HALE's book METALLICA: THE CLUB DAYZ will be officially released next week! (April 1st - and that no fool's day!). For those not familiar with this book, it features AMAZING never before released photographs that chronicles the band's early Bay Area club shows. A full description of the book is below. I also attached a short Quicktime preview of the book. It was an honor to work on this book with Bill Hale, many years in the making but we feel the book truly portrays what the Young Metal Attack was all about! I assisted Bill with assembling the photos and writing the text. The book is published by ECW press and will be available worldwide at all the major bookstores. It is currently available for pre-order at Amazon.com and currently holds the #2 position for hard rock affiliated book orders. For more information on the book or for review copies please contact me at the email above.


On a separate note, the latest Shockwaves/HardRadio podcast is now posted on HardRadio.com featuring great interviews I did w/ Angel vocalist Frank DiMino and Pat Travers (links below). The next Shockwaves Skull Sessions will be posted early next week featuring a killer NWOBHM discussion w/ Brian Slagel, Ron Quintana, and John Kornarens.

Thanks for your continued support!

All the best,
Bob Nalbandian

Metallica: The Club Dayz is
a collection of photographs of the legendary rock band Metallica that were shot by renown metal photographer Bill Hale during the band’s formative years in the Bay Area club circuit between 1982 and 1984.

This book contains rare and exclusive photographs from six of the band’s earliest performances including their first shows in San Francisco at The Stone and The Old Waldorf which featured the original lineup with Dave Mustaine (guitar) and Ron McGovney (bass), Cliff Burton's introductory gig with the band at The Stone, the last Metallica show with Dave Mustaine in San Francisco, and Kirk Hammett’s Metallica debut in the Bay area.

As chief photographer of Metal Rendezvous International, a groundbreaking heavy rock magazine that was published throughout the
’80s, Bill Hale was given unlimited access to hang out with and photograph this then-fledgling metal band. His job at the time was to capture the band onstage and offstage and provide the magazine with unique photographs of the band showcasing their brazen live energy in concert to unveiling some of their crazy and unpredictable backstage antics.

Bill Hale was right there from the very beginning, capturing the band before, during and after their performances. He was at every one of their early Bay Area shows, without the safety of a photo pit, crushed among the savage crowd as they head-banged fearlessly to the music of their local heroes. Here, for the first time Bill Hale opens up his photo vault. Witness one of the greatest rock bands of all time uring
their embryonic stage.

Influenced musically by the new breed of British metal yet epitomizing the punk rock attitude, Metallica’s loud, snotty and don’t five a f**k attitude is very evident in these photographs. Most of the photos in this book have never been published and many of the images have never before been revealed to the public. Metallica: The Club Dayz is a long lost chapter of this band’s visual history.

I'm sure I will get it, since it is something related to Metallica, and the fact that it focuses on the early days of the band. The only thing I was disappointed to see is that this book is just being presented as a paperback. I would've paid the little extra for a hard cover had their been one.

Thanks for the info ULT.

Who's Bob Nalbandian? I know a few Nalbandian's, wonder if there is any relations?

I don't know. It's a pretty common name.

David Nalbandian...the tennis player. That's the only one I know of.

I'll get it when it goes on sale.

Who-hoo! We have 3 Metallica threads again!

Hmm, I'll just go to Barnes And Noble and look at it there, and never need to check it out again.
