Historia
The history of heavy metal brings us extraordinary stories of larger-than-life characters living to excess, from the household names of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Iron Maiden and Metallica to the brutal notoriety of the underground Norwegian black metal scene and the New Wave of British heavy metal. It is the story of a worldwide network of rabid fans escaping everyday mundanity through music, of cutthroat corporate arseholes ripping off those fans and the bands they worship to line their pockets.

If you're a fan of 80's Hair or Glam Metal stay away from this poser of a book. This wanker slams every band that filled arenas with mind blowing guitar solos and stage presence. Next!

Heavy Tales is the detailed, never-before-told story as lived by Jonny Zazula of how he founded Megaforce Records out of a flea market in New Jersey with his wife, Marsha, and built a dynasty unmatched by others, forever changing the scope of heavy metal. The bands they worked with would go on to release some of the most prolific and important albums in heavy metal history, giving it its Golden Era.

Since I was a teen I've known of John and Marsha's names on so many metal releases. It's fantastic to get the back story on these two incredibly important people. We can only wish they recorded another book or two worth of amazing memories. R.I.P. Zazula's Thank you both so much!

Historia
In honor of the 10-year anniversary of The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx’s definitive and bestselling memoir on drug addiction is now available on audio for the first time, read by Nikki Sixx! This shocking, gripping, and at times darkly hilarious memoir explores Nikki’s yearlong war with a vicious heroin addiction. Now more than ever, with opioid addiction ravaging our country and rising by 20 percent in the past year alone, Nikki’s story is now more relevant than ever.

A Great Listen
Revisado: 05-15-21
As an 80's teenage rocker I can't begin to count how many times we jammed the Crue. This is a fantastic journey far beyond the music. I'm truly enjoying the memoirs so many of our favorite artists have been sharing these days. Back then they were larger than life, now we know they struggled just as much as the rest of us in their own imperfect worlds.

Historia
After years of gigging everywhere from suburban backyards to dive bars, Van Halen - led by frontman extraordinaire David Lee Roth and guitar virtuoso Edward Van Halen - had the songs, the swagger, and the talent to turn the rock world on its ear. The quartet's classic 1978 debut, Van Halen, sold more than a million copies within months of release and rocketed the band to the stratosphere of rock success.

A great listen from the beginnings of VH
Revisado: 04-17-21
This was an enjoyable listen from the roots of VH from family life to their rise to stardom. It doesn't venture past their debut album much,, but it's enjoyable, and has a lot of between the lines goodies.

Historia
Paul McGowan tells all (and then some) in this riotous tale of misbegotten success that’s 99 percent true in all the best ways. From his not-so-innocent youth growing up in the shadow of Disneyland and summer evenings in the innocent 1950s, to his dope-smoking, snake-eating, draft-dodging, loony-bin misadventure through Europe, to his struggles to build a thriving enterprise from a stack of dusty albums - see how the CEO of a worldwide company took 50 years to become an overnight success.

Well spoken life journey
Revisado: 01-16-21
I've been an audiophile since my Vietnam Veteran father gave me my first stereo system bought overseas. I was always the envy of my peers with those beautiful Sanusi SP-X9700 speakers blasting tunes with the help of a Pioneer SX-850. I recently discovered Paul's YouTube videos amd enjoy them. I'm unsure if I'll purchase any PS products, but I did enjoy his story and colorful narration. This is one I can listen to again, just for pure enjoyment. Thanks Paul !

Historia
When Rust in Peace was released in 1990, the future of Megadeth was uncertain. Fresh off their performance at the record-breaking Monsters of Rock festival, and with knockout new albums from Slayer, Anthrax, and Metallica dominating the charts, the pressure to produce a standout statement record was higher than ever.

Revisado: 10-21-20
As an 80's teenage Metalhead Megadeth weren't my favorite band, but their style and sound were up there with the best. This album is raw from start to finished. We need more books like this one, with input from more sources. It's a great listen!

Historia
Van Halen's rise in the 1980s was one of the most thrilling the music world had ever seen - their mythos an epic party, a sweaty, sexy, never-ending rock extravaganza. During this unparalleled run of success, debauchery, and drama, no one was closer to the band than Noel Monk. Throughout Van Halen's meteoric rise and abrupt halt, this confidant, fixer, friend, and promoter saw it all and lived to tell. Now, for the first time, he shares the most outrageous escapades.

Taken with a grain of salt
Revisado: 10-17-20
This guy doesn't just pat himself on the back, he belts out a full on applause! Having said that, I'm always up to a good book that tells so many between the lines stories none of us even fathomed as child/teenage fans between roughly 77 -85 ..ish. A huge stand-out is the often repeated way Michael Anthony was treated.. right or wrong it was sad. Something tells me if he ever writes a book, we'll hear the actual facts, nothing more, nothing less. All in all, this is a good book and I did enjoy and recommend it along with the recently completed "Confess" written and narrated by Rob Halford.

Historia
Most priests hear confessions. This one is making his. Rob Halford, front man of global iconic metal band Judas Priest, is a true "Metal God." Raised in Britain's hard-working, heavy industrial heartland, he and his music were forged in the Black Country. Confess, his full autobiography, is an unforgettable rock 'n' roll story—a journey from a Walsall council estate to musical fame via alcoholism, addiction, police cells, ill-fated sexual trysts, and bleak personal tragedy, through to rehab, coming out, redemption...and finding love.

The Metal God
Revisado: 10-11-20
Another great book from one of our Metal Hero's. As a teen you're clueless to the lives being lived behind the scenes. As an adult you can appreciate the struggle and emotion of these stories. This is a raw story, maybe too raw for some. Who would have known there was so much drama amongst the twin guitar gods. Who would have known the emptiness Halford felt in a world that was his for the taking. I truly enjoy these memoirs from our favorite music hero's. 5 stars!

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

Revisado: 10-05-20
50 plus years of Ozzy's "memories ". The Black Sabbath years were funny and laughable. Not much detail on the solo years, especially after the Randy era. Still , this listen is enjoyable and definitely worth it's price. Another good book by one of my teenage Heavy Metal idols.

Historia
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Mental strength at it’s finest
Revisado: 01-01-20
DG is a rare human. Turning misfortune into opportunity. In a world that blames all others, minus the reflection in the accountability mirror, his honesty is respected. We have no excuse for underachieving in life. We may not care to break records or accomplish physical feats, but we can create a world where we flourish, and create a life to be proud of, no matter what cards we’ve been dealt. Life is a risk, just go for it. Whatever it is, go for it!
