Masthead
The main title on the double page is saying
“LIFE IS CRAZIER THAN EVER FOR
METALLICA”.
This is written in two different colours

yellow of the bad name helps to establish
this and also the M and the A are written in
a different way to the rest of the name
which shows a more rock way of putting
this.
