Interview with Scott Ian Of Anthrax/I'm The Man book review I'm The Man The Story Of That Guy from Anthrax Scott Ian of Anthrax was high on my list of people to one day interview. So when the opportunity came to review his new Book, "I'm The Man", I jumped at the bonus chance to interview the man himself. Truly responsible for being a forerunner in the American Thrash Metal Movement, Scott and Anthrax are in the Pantheon of metal icons. His music is inspirational for so many bands, his guitar sledgehammer sound is a like a juggernaut of pure molten metal. He is onstage a force to be reckoned with. But I found the book and the man himself to be sincere, down to Earth, and honest. The history of Anthrax is interwoven with tales of hard partying, and dreams when metal was still in its true infancy. This book presents the reader with a drone like view of the rough road to success. The book is one wild ride throughout his life and you feel drawn to th...
Bobbie Brown Dirty Rocker Boys Simon and Schuster Bobbie Brown has written a tell all auto biography and it is a damn good read. Sure, it is filled with sex and drugs and rock and roll decadence but beneath the grime and the smeared mascara is a woman who has seen it all and lived to tell about it. Ultimately the book reveals the story of a small town girl lost in the make believe world of LA. But to her credit Bobbie Brown emerges from the wreckage of her life, a mom, a friend, a good natured person who despite numerous setbacks and self immolation, has risen above the dirty streets to shine. Dirty Rocker boys is a classic tale of what not to do and a roadmap of who's who in rock and roll to date and stay away from. From Tommy Lee to Leonardo Decaprio and Kevin Costner to Jani Lane, Bobbie has been there and done that. After this was the height of the decadent 80's. The d...
Hellspeak The Slaughter Rule Of Agony Marc Lopes---Vocals Matt Leff-------Guitar Chris Rapoza--Bass Jason Bittner---Drums Normally when I listen to a new album to review I sit back and let the computer speakers handle it. For this particular release I thought it would be best to get in my car and drive. The music exploded from my car speakers and it was good and it was loud and it is metal. Hellspeak delivers on a scale that should propel them to a national spotlight. Hellspeak has recorded one of the best metal albums I have heard from a local artist. The mastermind behind this molten metal masterpiece is Marc Lopes. Truly he is a fan of metal as well as a performer extraordinaire. From his social media postings to his other metal side projects which include a vocal slot in the band Meliah Rage, Marc Lopes is metal. Hands down. And once again a New England Metal tone to the over all recording.That certain tone that only bands from the...
