Summary: Bad Data and worse taste
Comment: Just to let you know, I am a trivia freak. I love collecting useless information and storing it away waiting for the moment to dazzle someone with my knowledge of useless information. That being said, this book is full of errors...Here is a (very condensed) list of errors that I found:
1. On the Type O Negative page it states that their album called "The Origin of the Feces" is a live album when it is not. Granted, it is made to sound like a live album, but it is not, and 2 minutes of research this could have been cleared up.
2. On the Cult page, it said that they (The Cult) had an infleuence on Sound Garden. I don't know about you, I don't know of Sound Garden....I have heard of a little band called Soundgarden (one word).
3. On the Cradle of Filth page, it mentions an album called Bitter Suites to the Succubi....when it should be "Bitter Suites to Succubi."
4. On the Ratt page, it mentions a band called Kixx....maybe they meant Kix.
5. On the Queensryche page, it named an album called Hear in the new frontier.....again...no such album...it is called "Hear in the Now frontier."
So you can see my frustration...these are examples from bands that I know something about. What about the bands that I'm unfamiliar with. I don't want to be filled with bad information when I try to learn about other bands for the first time.
Oh yeah...one more thing...what the hell is up with Opeth getting 1/4 of a page when Limp Bizkit, Blink 182 and other such suckass bands get their own page, full color etc. It's a good thing that I really never read Metal Hammer magazine (Chris Ingham does something for them..I can't remember what it is...but instead of guessing and being wrong, I'll just let you know that I don't know)....If I did, I probably wouldn't know one thing about real metal...(at least anything true)

Summary: Suggestion
Comment: I found this book to be lacking.For those who want to read a great book on heavy metal. I suggest "Bang your Head - The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal" by David Konow on Three Rivers Press, a division of Random House publishing.
