'Absolutely hilarious' - Neil Gaiman 'One of the funniest musical
commentators that you will ever read . . . loud and thoroughly
engrossing' - Alan Moore 'A man on a righteous mission to persuade
people to "lay down your souls to the gods rock and roll".' - The
Sunday Times 'As funny and preposterous as this mighty music
deserve' - John Higgs The history of heavy metal brings brings us
extraordinary stories of larger-than-life characters living to
excess, from the household names of Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy, Bruce
Dickinson and Metallica (SIT DOWN, LARS!), 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 cut-throat
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 life-long 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 theatre-goers 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.
