Machine Head: Inside The Machine

Machine Head: Inside The Machine

Over 17 years and eight albums, heavy metal band Machine Head have sold millions of units, earned a Grammy nomination and won personal awards from Metal Hammer and other magazines. The story is a classic rise, fall and rise again scenario -- they exploded onto the metal scene in 1994, enjoyed a successful string of albums and then lost their way in the nu-metal era. Now they are in the middle of one of metal's most acclaimed comebacks. Joel McIver has interviewed all the band-members several times and has a unique insight into their rollercoaster story, which includes alcohol addiction, inter-band brawls and therapy, sackings, near-splits and two decades of the heaviest music known to man, delivered all over the world.

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town

From a shaky start in Dublin in the late sixties, Thin Lizzy was to become one of the 20th century?s great rock bands. The story of their ascent is wild and riveting, and here for the first time it is told from inside the band by their guitarist Scott Gorham and rock journalist Harry Doherty, who toured with the band and interviewed them extensively from the early days.There are also contributions from road crew, management and friends. In 1969 Phil Lynott and Brian Downey were approached by two former members of Van Morrison's band to form a new group. Thin Lizzy was born, a group notionally led by Lynott that would see a dizzying turnover of personnel as it took rock and the life style that came with it to new levels.Record success eluded them until the early seventies when Decca released their ?Whisky In The Jar?, a track already deemed unrepresentative of the band by Thin Lizzy themselves. It became a huge international hit and the albums Jailbreak and Live And Dangerous carried the band to the top of the charts just as they were about to become bankrupt. The wild life continued unabated with stories of sex, drink and drugs, band member defections, label switches and non-stop touring that took its toll on everybody involved. Phil Lynott died aged 36 but by then Thin Lizzy was already a legend. This is Scott Gorham?s account of how the whole remarkable spectacle played out.

Unleashed: The Story Of Tool (Softcover)

Unleashed: The Story Of Tool (Softcover)

The very first book about the Anglo-American metal band Tool explores not only their uncompromising music but also their unsettling, self-made image based on mythological symbols and arcane theories.The quartet of master musicians - Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones - emerged from the club scene in Los Angeles in 1990 alongside their friends Rage Against the Machine, grabbing the concept of heavy music and then completely redefining it.With a sixties-style commitment to art and agit-prop, they have now attained a level of artistic complexity and depth which makes their enduring success a miracle in today's culture of bland, corporate entertainment. Author Joel McIver leaves no detail omitted as he delves into the mystery behind Tool's music.

Fred Sokolow: Songs Of Hawaii For The Ukulele

Fred Sokolow: Songs Of Hawaii For The Ukulele

Though the Ukulele came from Portugal, it became popular and got its name in Hawaii. In this 90-minute lesson, Fred Sokolow presents the most well-known Hawaiian hapa-haoli standards, some that go back to the 1920s, others as recent as the 1960s.

Henry Scott-Irvine: Procol Harum - The Ghosts Of A Whiter Shade Of Pale

Procol Harum's extraordinary career now spans almost 50 years. This major biography traces their roots back to 1964 when they were an R&B covers band called The Paramounts whom The Rolling Stones cited as their favourite British group at the time.With its song writing partnership of Keith Reid and Gary Brooker, the new band would soon become associated with a particularly soulful brand of progressive rock and enjoy a massive international hit with ?A Whiter Shade of Pale? in the summer of 1967. A succession of Billboard Top 100 albums followed but Procol Harum?s future would also be marked by a 14-year retirement, a successful re-formation and one of the costliest and most bitterly fought cases in British legal history.With specially written material by Martin Scorsese, Sir Alan Parker and author Sebastian Faulks, the book?s stellar list of interviewees includes the band members themselves, producer Chris Thomas, Cream?s Pete Brown and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Their insights illuminate what must surely be the gold standard biography of a unique and highly influential band.

Michael Bradley: Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone

Michael Bradley: Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone

In the summer of 1974, Michael Bradley joined his school friend's band in Derry, Northern Ireland. At the time, they had two guitarists and no singer. Four years later, with Bradley providing the driving bass rhythm, The Undertones released 'Teenage Kicks' and were propelled to fame. The fascinating story behind the song, the band and the man are told in Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone . With a punk rock attitude that produced John Peel's favourite record, and one of the most enduring rock songs ever, The Undertones went on to make some poor decisions, great albums, all while having a fantastic time. Breaking up in 1983, Michael became a bicycle courier in Soho, before 1999's reformation brought him back to play bass with the band once again. The story is bitter-sweet, heart-warming and occasionally droll, featuring unlikely success, petty feuds and playful mischief during five years of growing up in the music industry. Always intriguing and told in Bradley 's unique style, Teenage Kicks - My Life As An Undertone is a must-read for any fan of this legendary band.

Mance Lipscomb: In Concert - DVD

Mance Lipscomb: In Concert - DVD

Mance Lipscomb was a sage, a songster, a responsible elder, a self-made man... He played so many types of music in his own style with powerful conviction... Tilting his head back, closing his eyes, and thumping that Harmony Sovereign, Mance brought the past to the present and turned the present into story, into song and into life. -Taj Mahal Mance Lipscomb (1895-1976), the son of a former slave, lived almost his whole life in Navasota, Texas, supporting himself and his family by tenant farming. But he was also a guitar player and songster who played blues and rags for his local neighbors at loal Saturday night parties. In 1960 Mance was discovered by Chris Strachwith of Arhoolie Records and Mack McCormick. Within a short period of time Mance was recording albums and performing at festivals, concert halls and clubs around the country. This video presents a rare television concert recorded in Texas for KLRU TV in 1969. It shows the panorama and genius of Mance's music. A pdf file for the booklet that accompanies this DVD can be found on the DVD folder that will appear when putting the DVD in to your computer.

Jeff Evans: Rock & Pop On British TV

Jeff Evans: Rock & Pop On British TV

When rock 'n' roll arrived, all Britain had were two black and white TV channels popularly characterised as staid Auntie BBC and the slightly racier ITV. Unsurprisingly, it was the latter that dived in first, hiring Kent Walton, an Englishman with an adopted transatlantic accent, to front Cool For Cats in 1956. The BBC responded with Six-Five Special and the race was on. Cheap black and white studio-bound miming gave way to epic prog-rock live performances as the programme controllers' initial grudging acknowledgment gradually thawed and they accepted the inevitable. Eventually, mammoth rock festivals would be enjoyed on multi-channel high-definition TV, delivering more coverage than any one person attending the actual event could ever experience. Jeff Evans tells the whole story in this entertaining book whose incidental pleasures lie in tracing some of the lesser-known shows like Discs A Gogo, All Systems Freeman!, Revolver, Lift Off With Ayshea and Popworld. In a world where music is available on demand, 24/7, The Story Of Rock & Pop On British TV takes you back to your youth - whenever that was - and the days when pop on TV was an eagerly anticipated, greedily consumed and thrilling part of growing up in Britain.

Simon Goddard: The Comeback - The Story Of Elvis And The 68 Special

Simon Goddard: The Comeback - The Story Of Elvis And The 68 Special

As 1968 dawns, the once King of Rock 'n' Roll faces cultural oblivion. While elsewhere the Sixties are swinging, for Elvis they're sinking - in terrible films, drug addiction, paranoia, religious mania, and the mercenary wiles of his psychopathic manager. At 33 the legend who once had it all is lost, lonely and slowly going insane. Until thrown a last lifeline. His own one-hour TV special: a do-or-die final chance to remind the world who, and what, Elvis Presley really is. The Comeback plots the incredible true story of Elvis' fall and rise from Army discharge to iconic black leather resurrection. Simon Goddard takes the reader inside the life, music and mind of Elvis: a 24/7 delirium of women, pills, midnight movies and holy mumbo jumbo, isolated from an America unravelling in its own Sixties chaos of war, racism, riots and assassinations, until his world and theirs collide in the greatest performance of his life. A genre-busting modernist rock 'n' roll fable unlike any music biography you've ever read, The Comeback is the definitive account of how it took Elvis eight years on the big screen to lose his crown - but just one magical hour on a small one to win it back.

Steely Dan: Reelin' In The Years

Steely Dan: Reelin' In The Years

Reelin’ In The Years is the acclaimed biography of Steely Dan, now updated to include details of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen’s work up to the very untimely passing of Walter Becker in 2017. The first biography to have been published on Steely Dan, it tells the strange tale of how Becker and Fagen, a couple of cynical New York jazz fans, wormed their way into a record contract and astonished critics with their superb debut, Can’t Buy A Thrill, in 1973. Seven albums later, after Aja had topped charts everywhere, they were among the biggest selling acts in the world. Then they quit, only to reform in 1993 more popular than ever. But Steely Dan were different from the rest of rock’s super-sellers. They rarely gave interviews. After some early bad experiences on the road, they refused to tour. They didn’t have their photographs taken. Few people even knew what they looked like. Steely Dan weren’t even a proper group; it was two musicians and their producer, yet every top-notch player in the world lined up to appear on their albums. They were perfectionists. They were enigmatic. They were very rich. Their music was the coolest around. In Reelin’ In The Years, Brian Sweet, founder of Metal Leg – the now defunct UK based Steely Dan fanzine – draws back the veil of secrecy that has surrounded Becker and Fagen. Here at last is the true story of how they made their music and lived their lives. Includes many photographs and a complete discography.

Rick Buckler: That's Entertainment - My Life In The Jam

Rick Buckler: That's Entertainment - My Life In The Jam

During their golden years of 1977 to 1982, The Jam 's frontman Paul Weller was their outspoken leader, but it was drummer Rick Buckler who was the beating heart of the band, and it is his fascinating story that is told in his autobiography, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam,  replete with insights into his life and music. From his childhood in the 1950s to his musical growth to becoming the backbone of one of the most successful punk rock British bands, the story goes on to detail his post-Jam musical career, incorporating a number of other musicians in his continuous projects. Featuring some incredible photographs from Buckler 's personal archives, in-depth details about his personal and musical life, as well as before-unknown information about his projects since The Jam, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam  presents a great biography that is an antidote to many of the other popular music books out there. As The Jam rose to fame in 1977, their blend of rock, punk, mod and new-wave made them a musical force to be reckoned with. Weller's in-your-face attitude and songwriting combined with Bruce Foxton's powerful bass lines and Buckler's brilliant drumming to create a sound that has been often replicated but rarely matched. This book is the story of the man at the back of the band, absent from the bitter quarrels but always looking forward from the middle, both physically on stage and metaphorically.  There have been a vast number of other books written about The Jam, but none come close to the intimacy and personality of this portrayal of a pioneering band and their interesting story. Through Rick Buckler 's eyes, That's Entertainment: My Life In The Jam  chronicles the highlights of their heyday and the low points of the dissolution of friendships. It's a brilliant read if you're a fan of The Jam, or even at all interested in popular music, this Rick Buckler  autobiography has it all.
