Bøger om Heavy metal

Enhver, der har oplevet Rammstein live, kender den overvældende følelse, som deres professionelle iscenesættelse af sangene skaber. Det er voldsomt og velplanlagt. Wicke går tæt på Rammsteins fascinerende koncerter og undersøger, hvordan forsangeren Lindemann og resten af bandet skaber en totaloplevelse af lyd, lys, billeder og performance.Men bogen er meget mere end det. Bandmedlemmernes østtyske oprindelse spiller en stor rolle i deres musik, og vi får en flot skildring af deres debut i det østtyske punkmiljø og de efterfølgende mange kontroverser med de tyske myndigheder og medier. Vi kommer også med Rammstein i lydstudierne, hvor det bliver klart, hvor topprofessionelt bandet arbejder - intet er overladt til tilfældighederne. En anmelder kaldte bogen for det klogeste og mest seriøse, der indtil nu er skrevet om Rammstein.

Featuring exclusive interviews with key figures, from Napalm Death vocalist Barney Greenway to guitarist Bill Steer of Gentlemans Pistols, Carcass, and Napalm Death, this is your guide through the history of death metal.Guitars playing abrasive, discordant riffs, the thunderous double-kick of the drums acting like an accelerated heartbeat, and porcine, guttural vocals pummeling twisted lyrics. Courting controversy from inception to its modern day iteration, death metal presents a number of contradictions: Driven and adventurous musicians compete to make uncomfortable noises; it is crude and far beyond parody and yet consistently popular; and the music is pig-headedly uncommercial despite making a few labels, albeit briefly, wealthy. This book explores the history and methodology of the genre, charting its aims and intentions, its crossovers to the mainstream, successes and failures, and tracks how it developed from the bedrooms of Birmingham and Florida to the near-mainstream, to the murky cult status it enjoys today.

Alice in Chains was the first of grunge's big four - ahead of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden - to get a gold record and achieve national recognition. With the charismatic Layne Staley behind the microphone, they became one of the most influential and successful bands to come out of the Seattle music scene. But as the band got bigger, so did its problems.Acclaimed journalist David de Sola follows the members from their inauspicious beginnings at a warehouse under the Ballard Bridge through the history of the band, charting:- The local hair metal scene in Seattle during the 1980s.- How drugs nearly destroyed the band and claimed the lives of Staley and founding bassist Mike Starr.- Jerry Cantrell's solo career and Mike Starr's life after being fired from the band.- The band's resurrection with William DuVall, the Atlanta singer/guitarist who stepped into Layne Staley's shoes. Based on a wealth of interviews with people with direct knowledge of the band and its history, many of whom are speaking on the record for the first time, Alice in Chains will stand as the definitive Alice in Chains biography for years to come.

A rollicking, effusive, and candid memoir by the heavy metal musician and founding member of Black Sabbath, covering his years as the band's bassist and main lyricist through his later-career projects, and detailing how one of rock's most influential bands formed and prevailed. With over 70 million records sold, Black Sabbath, dubbed by Rolling Stone ?the Beatles of heavy metal,? helped create the genre itself, with their distinctive heavy riffs, tuned down guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler played a gigantic part in the band's renown, from suggesting the band name to using his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult to compose the lyrics and build the foundation of heavy metal as we know it.In Into the Void, Butler tells his side of the story, from the band's beginnings as a scrappy blues quartet in Birmingham through the struggles leading to the many well-documented lineup changes while touring around London's gritty clubs (Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and The Who makes notable appearances!), and the band's important later years. He writes honestly of his childhood in a working-class family of seven in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant, and how his disillusionment with organized religion and class systems would spawn the lyrics and artistic themes that would resonate so powerfully with fans around the world.Into the Void reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend and the formation of one of rock's most exciting bands, while holding nothing back. Like Geezer's bass lines, it is both original, dramatic, and forever surprising.

In Van Halen at 50, prolific rock journalist Martin Popoff pays tribute to the band on the occasion of their 50th anniversary by curating 50 significant milestones, from their formation in 1974 to the passing of Eddie Van Valen in 2020.

"Growing up in the Boston suburbs, Tom Werman was deeply affected by pop music from a young age. He long dreamed of a career in music--first as Elvis, then as the next George Harrison--but it almost didn't turn out that way. Dutifully following the path his parents had laid out for him, he obtained an MBA from an Ivy League university and took a plum job in an industry he came to despise. Then, in 1970, a chance letter sent to CBS Records boss Clive Davis led to a new opportunity . . . and a place in rock'n'roll history." --

"This massive 528 page document of the 1980s Brazilian metal uprising includes over 1,000 images, photos, and flyers in ten narrative chapters, plus reprints and translations of the entire United Forces zine run, with an exhaustive 'United Forces' Summit w/ Max and Iggor Cavalera, and also forewords by Rodrigo Magalhäaes (Holocausto), Zhema Rodero (Vulcano), Cristiano dos Passos (Necrobutcher), Renato da Costa Souza (Armmagedon, Megathrash, Holocausto), Paulo Gepeto (Aðcäao Direta), Jan Frederickx (Agathocles), Georges Kormikiaris (Low Life Records, Radical Livros), and Borivoj Krgin (Blabbermouth.net). In 1986, Säao Paulo teenager Marcelo R. Batista channeled his love of pure, wild heavy metal into the self-produced fanzine United Forces. Over the next five years, his homemade publication captured the explosion happening before his eyes thanks to riotous Brazilian metal upstarts including Sepultura, Sarcofago, Vulcano, Holocausto, Mystifier, Sextrash, Ratos de Poräao, Skullkrusher, Necrobutcher, and hundreds of others. Simultaneously, he exposed readers to future legends from abroad, including Napalm Death, Carcass, Morbid Angel, and Darkthrone. United Forces presents the story in vivid color, along with Batista's own headbanger tale-from humble origins collecting scrap metal to buy Motèorhead albums to DIY operator funneling his country's metal passion to receptive listeners in Europe and North America. The changes in Brazil during the 1980s and early 1990s serve as background for a full-bore metal revolution, as Batista's story brings to life the crucial South-of-the-equator 1980s scene that inspired all the forthcoming underground extremes to come"--Provided by publisher.

From their formation in Sydney, Australia in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, AC/DC have made the most visceral and single-minded rock, and it has served them well, with more than 200 million records sold. The basic blueprint that AC/DC laid down on their early albums with Bon Scott-hard, no-nonsense, riff-driven rock'n'roll-has sustained them all the way through to their latest album, 2014's Rock Or Bust. Angus and Malcolm held AC/DC together after the deathof singer Bon Scott in 1980. And now, so many years later, even without Malcolm around, Angus doesn't look like he's about to give up on the band. Illustrated with rare and unseen photographs, this handsome biography from an acclaimed rock biographer is a fitting salute to rock's royal family.

¿We¿re not ashamed of a little hairspray and makeup. We¿ve always said it takes a real man to wear makeup.¿¿Bret Michaels, PoisonThere was a time¿not so long agöwhen pomp and spandex dominated MTV and pop radio playlists. Nearly 20 years after the first edition, people can't get enough hair metal!  The new expanded edition of American Hair Metal visually celebrates this orgy of flamboyance, androgyny, and animal magnetism, of big-haired alpha males and the beautiful women who surrounded them. Interest in hair metal is currently exploding¿witness arena-level revival tours, reissue compilations, and documentaries and docudramas that revisit the excesses of the eighties and nineties.Hundreds of striking photographs are complimented by hedonistic ephemera from bands like Poison, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, and Stryper. Wild quotes from major players such as David Lee Roth, Jon Bon Jovi, Sebastian Bach, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Bret Michaels, Don Dokken, and many unsung heroes. The expanded edition includes more photos, more quotes, and a new introduction by Chip Z¿Nuff (Enuff Z¿Nuff) and an interview with Rik Rox (WASP, Steeler).

While Southern California punk bands were saying, "Our band could be your life," Los Angeles's hair metal acts were insisting, "Our band could be your fantasy." They weren't out to change the world as much as conquer it, and no one embodied that more than its breakout stars, Motley Crue. On their sophomore record Shout at the Devil, they invited listeners to let their ids run wild, propping the door open for gender play, sexual abandon, and a healthy distrust of authority. As more women entered the workforce - not only because upper-middle class white women had made this a central demand of their feminism but also because industrial job opportunities for men were declining. This book demonstrates how Shout at the Devil showed men rejecting manual labor in favor of being beautiful, entertaining, and sexually available. What followed were era-defining culture wars about gender roles, sexual expression, and freedom of speech.
