Who doesn't love Chuck Norris...

Revisado: 02-08-19

I must be getting jaded. I love historical and bio/autobiographical books, but when they put them down on audio, something gets "lost" in the translation. In this case, I think it's the narrator. I get that he's the author's son, but man... definitely NOT cut out for this kind of thing. Still, it's better than some of the other books I've listened to that are akin to fifth grade film strip audio. The content is great, especially after listening to a book about Bruce Lee and his dealings with Chuck, but the choice of narrator could have been a little better. Definitely worth a listen, though.

Stopped listening just short of the half hour mark

Once again, a narrator who presents the book's content like a 1950's film strip. No emotion, barely any inflection or change in tone, and little to no understanding of what he was presenting. And Unlistenable to me, and I had high hopes for this one.

I wish...

I wish the narrator didn't read this book like it was a 1967 instructional film strip. Another listen ruined by a voice that's about as dynamic as a social studies text book.

Hmmm... Now we know

I'm not a fan of hers. But in the interest of "know thy enemy", I genuinely wanted to hear what she had to say. It was pretty much what I expected... blaming everyone for her loss BUT her. All of her disciples will say that "it was totally courageous for her to write this". For those of us living firmly on planet Earth, it won't teach us anything we didn't already know about her, and it definitely reinforced more than a few things. BTW, she definitely should have let someone else read this book.

Excellent listen!

Curtis has always been the oddball in his movies. I mean seriously, Charles Demar.... One of the strangest, and greatest, characters ever. This book reinforces the fact that in order to look THAT strange on film, your craft has to be THAT good. Curtis IS that good, and his story is very compelling.

Bruce is, to use the parlance of the military, "the pointy end of the spear" that is heavy metal. This book will confirm everything we as fans ever thought of him. He's a gentlemen, a scholar, highly intelligent, and completely workmanlike in his approach to everything he does musically and beyond. This book is amazing.

Scott Ian IS the man! I've been an Anthrax fan from day one. This book served to open my eyes to a lot of things that went on that we, the fans, had no idea of, and to dispel more than a few rumors. This book came along at exactly the right time. Huge, HUUUUUGE, respect to Scott for bearing his soul to us.

Wow...

Would you try another book from Kostya Kennedy and/or Kevin T. Collins?

Yes

Any additional comments?

This was a SLOG. WAY too long and detailed, and the epilogue is just superfluous.

What would have made ICP: Behind the Paint better?

Someone OTHER than Jay narrating this book would have made it better. That and getting rid of the idiotic sound effects in the background.

How could the performance have been better?

Jay's an interesting guy and has overcome a lot in his life to get to where he is. But it's very clear that Jay is also unsophisticated. I respect the hell out of him, but he should NEVER narrate another audio book, not even one he's written. It's just unlistenable.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else. I'd recommend READING the book, but not listening to it. The narrator seems to injecting too many "characters" into the narration, doing different voices for everybody. It's sometimes annoying and at best, unlistenable. I understand that it's supposed to be humorous, but the execution falls a little short, IMO.
