Mead(le) Notebook

James Hetfield's personal notebook containing lyrics, conceptual brainstorms, and musical notations to support the writing of The Black Album, circa 1990. The simple Mead design is decorated with a misspelled band logo and a "Scary Guy." The following Black Box artifact entries detail pages from this notebook that show James' process of creating visual references to explore lyrical themes.
