Metallica is now in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and their autographs are more in demand than ever. How did the Four Horsemen sign at each stage of their 27 year history? What are the rarest Metallica autographs known? What do the autographs of each member of the band look like, past and present? You’ll find out in this 10 page feature packed with 28 striking full-color photos of Metallica autographs from 1982 to today.

It’s our biggest feature ever! Metallica fan and autograph authenticator, Steve Grad, shows you how to identify REAL Metallica signatures as he chronicles the band’s history through their autographs. One of the world’s top experts on Metallica autographs, he’s met the band more than 50 times and from his first encounter, he was hooked. Over the years he’s built one of the largest, most comprehensive Metallica collections in the world—over 140 autographed pieces! Whether you collect Metallica or not, you’ll want to keep this magazine as long as you love Metallica.
