When I think of the most expensive albums ever made, Metallica's self-titled 'Black Album' comes to mind. There are legendary stories of the million dollar drum sounds.
I saw a list in Kerrang! today of the most expensive rock albums ever made and the Black Album barely makes the list!
- Metallica - The Black Album - $1,000,000
- AC/DC - For Those About To Rock - around $1,000,000
- Foo Fighters - One By One - over $1,000,000
- The Darkness - A One-Way Ticket To Hell... And Back - £1,000,000
- Korn - Untouchables - $4,000,000
- Def Leppard - Hysteria - $4,500,000
- Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy - $13,000,000 (and over a decade to make)
Some of these records share the same producer (Mutt Lange).
