July 6, 2011, 13 years ago
Ever wondered what it takes to be a heavy metal journalist? In these comprehensive collections, Neil Daniels has interviewed a staggering 130+ of the world’s most successful writers of heavy metal and hard rock. Many of these writers are successful biographers, editors and long-standing freelancers who have interviewed some of the genre’s leading artists from KISS to METALLICA and BLACK SABBATH to SLAYER. They’ve travelled the world over, lived in tour buses, got drunk with their idols, attended some of the greatest gigs in history and are still alive to tell the tale. It’s all here; the wild stories, the anecdotes… and the advice!
All Pens Blazing offers a potted history of the genre as well as the publishing industry and a history of metal magazines. There’s also a wealth of information on fanzines and webzines. With a foreword by the Canadian metal historian Martin Popoff in Vol I and a foreword from the esteemed Mick Wall in Vol II, these collections make essential reading for the heavy metal fan. They are also worthy historical documents for the serious enthusiast and can be used as a handy reference tool for the aspiring metal writer.
