À propos de cet audio

Based on the "absolutely hilarious" (Neil Gaiman) stand-up show.

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. The expansive pantheon of heavy metal musicians includes junkies, Satanists and murderers, born-again Christians and teetotallers, stadium-touring billionaires and toilet-circuit journeymen.

Award-winning comedian and lifelong heavy metal obsessive Andrew O'Neill has performed his History of Heavy Metal comedy show to a huge range of audiences, from the teenage metalheads of Download festival to the broadsheet-reading theatregoers of the Edinburgh Fringe. Now, in his first book, he takes us on his own very personal and hilarious journey through the history of the music, the subculture and the characters who shaped this most misunderstood genre of music.

when I started this book I was expecting it to have more diversity to it and not be 90% about black metal. it would be nice if there was some audio of the Bands he speaks of and hates and loves.

Decent but...

Such a great overview and history of metal. The author has such passion for so much of what makes metal the unique expression that it is. They manage to explore in a light hearted way much of the nuance that embodies the ever expanding landscape of metal in a very engaging and entertaining style. I cannot recommend this enough as it is witty, well presented and informative. A+++

Seriously such an enjoyable listen.
