New York Times BestsellerFounding member; singer; and lead guitarist of Metallica and Megadeath shares the ultimate; unvarnished story behind his involvement in the rise of two of the worldrsquo;s most influential heavy metal bands in history. Dave Mustaine is the first to admit that hersquo;s bottomed out a few times in his dark and twisted speed metal version of a Dickensian life. From his soul-crushing professional and artistic setbacks to his battle with addiction; Mustaine has hit rock bottom on multiple occasions. April 1983 was his lowest point; when he was unceremoniously fired from Metallica for his hard-partying ways. But; what seemed to be the end of it all was just the beginning for the guitarist. After parting ways with Metallica; Mustaine went on to become the front man; singer; songwriter; guitarist (and de facto CEO) for Megadeathmdash;one of the most successful metal bands in the world. A pioneer of the thrash metal movement; Megadeath rose to international fame in the 1980s; and has gone on to earn seven consecutive Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance. In this outrageously candid memoir; one of heavy metalrsquo;s most iconic figures gives an insiderrsquo;s look into the loud and sordid world of thrash metalmdash;sex; drugs; and rock nrsquo; roll included.

Directs the examination to the nonspecialist playerBy Midwest Book ReviewIn Playing Bach On The Keyboard. keyboardist and Bach specialist Richard Troeger takes a new look at the Bach keyboard music available - but directs his examination to the nonspecialist player. bringing in historical background and discussions of musical applications of the styles and instruments Bach employed. From the importance of notational details in understanding the composers intentions to changes in norms between Bachs period and modern times. Playing Bach On The Keyboard provides classical musicians with a wonderful survey of issues in Bachs music10 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Dry. but helpfulBy J. ReedThis book summarizes many artistic elements of performing Bach. but in a very objective. matter-of-fact way. I found much useful content. but the delivery is very academic. and. in many cases. boring. A sense of humor or story-telling would ease reading. and this book has very little of either.
