OwensAwesome book for any metal fan Im 48 and grew up with Sabbath and Kiss and then went through the thrash era and saw the big four start and also overkill and exodus it should be the big 6. Great book highly recommended for anyone who loves metal or music in general . Write a second edition go more into metals roots ( Blue cheer . vanilla fudge. etc) and also power metal ( how do you do a book on metal on not mention Manowar? Fantastic book packed full of great information and inside stories I loved it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Easy read about Hard Music!By ShpeeenHaving worked in the music bidness for almost 40 years and having actually worked with a number of folks profiled in this book. I found this afascinating read and consistent with my experiences. The overview given by the book tended to confirm a number of my opinions of these folksand the their music. This music has never been "fashionable" and yet the artists/players in this book are some of the most influential musicians in rock music. In some parts of the book. it tended to focus a bit too much on the things we all know. ie: that these guys got laid a lot. but given theexcessive nature of this lifestyle and music. I guess it was a needed "device" for the purposes of the book. If you have ever "banged your head" or given the Dio "horns". you should read this book. you will enjoy it...2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. ... research paper and I can honestly say that I loved it.

The vast majority of the book is a compilation of interview answers from big names in the Metal music industry so the information is coming directly from the source. Its a great read for research papers or just casual reading. id highly recommend it.
