The 1980s saw Alice Cooper release arguably his most diverse
collection of albums, ranging from new wave to metal to full-on
radio-friendly rock. They weren't all commercially successful, but
all are worth listening to and some are excellent. This book (which
follows on from the author's acclaimed Alice Cooper In The '70s)
features all new interview material by the author with 45 musicians
and performers who worked with Alice over the decade. Many have
never been interviewed before and they offer fascinating insight
into working with Alice and each other. Key interviewees include
Mike Pinera, Jan Uvena, John Nitzinger, Graham Shaw, Ken Mary, Kip
Winger, Kane Roberts, John McCurry and Al Pitrelli. Consequently,
the book includes a lot of new facts and information that should
please fans. The author adds commentary and opinions on all of the
songs from the era, Alice's film work and the five live tours.
There is also an appendix on the album that could have been but
never was. Alice 'contributes' from the contemporary press of the
time are referenced, which became more loquacious as the decade
goes on. Alice in the '80s, what a thrill ride that was!
The 1970s saw the rise of rock and metal as a force in record and
ticket sales. Right there at the birth of this was Black Sabbath,
whose first album came from nowhere to smash into the top of the
charts in Britain and around the world. The book covers the career
of the original foursome - Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne
and Bill Ward - from Polka Tulk, through Earth and their original
nine years as Black Sabbath, when the band recorded such iconic
albums as Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Masters of Reality.
The book includes new interview material from key figures including
Rick Wakeman and engineers Mike Butcher and Robin Black, among
others. This is a comprehensive roundup of the band's music in the
decade. All of the albums and singles from 'The Rebel' until 'Never
Say Die' are examined in detail, along with related archive
releases. There is also a section covering Black Sabbath's tours in
the era, looking at key live recordings from every tour. Overall,
this is the most comprehensive account of the fortunes in the band
during this crucial decade yet written.

and to call out exactly what's going wrong.
