Useful travel companion.......2000-08-01

We have travelled through Sri Lanka this spring. The guidebook proved to be very accurate and useful in organizing our trip and in assisting us for the different visits. Its practical tips are very true and the historical background is concentrated, without flooding you with too much information. I can highly recommend the guidebook.

Great Playlists and Even Better Story.......2007-08-07

The front flap of the book says "if Nick Hornby had a metalhead little brother, he'd write a book as clever, music-drenched, and observationally direct as this." And a more true statement could not be made about this book.

Enter the world of grunge, death metal and hard-core alternative music. Sam Markus comes from a good family, goes to the right school and has all the privileges of his favorite literary hero Holden Caulfield, but he also has a harsh past that turned his life upside-down. Luckily, he found an outlet for his anger through heavy metal.

After Melissa, the straightedge girl of his dreams, walks into his life, Sammy knows he is in love. But Melissa, his friends and his music seem to clash, and Sammy doesn't know who he is or even who he wants to be anymore. Heavy Metal helped him overcome his past, yet he isn't sure if the music is enough to help him figure out his present.

With an intelligence that is astounding for such a young author (Krovatin was only 20 years-old when the book was published), this book hits home with themes of acceptance, sex, drugs and self-perception. I loved reading this book. Even with its dark and sometimes violent overtones, I found myself wanting to understand Sammy and his music as well as make some mixes of my own.

Great look at metalhead life!.......2007-05-28

This book will help defy metalhead stereotypes and show that even those into the darkest music can still have a light and fragile heart when it comes to love. I loved this book!

My New Favorite Book.......2007-05-17

I typically read SciFi/Adventure novels, but this book hit my love for hard rock and heavy metal spot on. Sam/Conan is an easy character to relate to, and really seems to "talk" to the reader. It openly depicts his struggles between his friends and his girlfriend, and how he deals with those issues. I can't wait for more novels from Chris Krovatin. Favorite book and favorite author. Rock on.

A Frickin' Awsome Book.......2007-01-09

This is the best book I have ever read in my whole friggin' life!
I went the libary to find a book and the books I found were just crap. When I saw thi book I just had to get 'cause I'm a a big metalhead and it looked like a good book to read. When I started reading the book I didn't want to put it down. Now I'm it for the hunderth time 'cause it was so good!

Very Good.......2006-09-17

I really liked this book. I knew a lot of the songs that were mentioned in it and if i didn't know them i looked them up and fell in love with them. Krovatin is obviously a natural at writing, he makes you feel the anger, pain, and confusion that Sammy(conan) goes through over Melissa and with his friends. You also feel like you are in the story. This book is obviously a can't-put-down book, and you get into the story from the get-go.

Book Description

This book is Celtic Frost's official history written by the front-man, Thomas Gabriel Fischer, who describes his story as full of facts and anecdotes, some unflattering, many trashy, some embarassing, many senselessly funny but all putting right the band's reported notoriety.

Fascinating Read.. Reid.. Reed.......2006-06-22

I am one of the fortunate ones who gets to see Reed St Marks ply his new craft as a Personal Trainer in upstate NY. He still looks like he just stepped off the album cover ! That was a wild period in music, heck, it was a wild period, period.
Good Luck with the new album release, May 2006.

Morbidly Entertaining.......2005-12-07

Great read! Very entertaining and a revealing look at a strugling band. Not just any band , but Celtic Frost -(Metal Gods!) Tom gives us a look into the downside of music , the business side and how they have no clue as to how musicians think. They are right brain people , while creative people are left side, (I think thats how it goes?!)

Anyway , this band deserves more recognition and everyone who is into Heavy music or truelly alternative music should check them and this book out.

Alot of funny moments too. Highly entertaining!

Great Book!.......2003-10-31

This is a great book. The text is entertaining, but also heartwrenching as well due to the fact that CF worked so very hard at their craft, but did not receive the recognition and praise that they so deserved. Tom describes in great detail the ups and downs of trying to keep the band together while trying to increase the band's exposure and success. CF worked unbelievably hard on their music. Because CF's music was unique in that it was heavy, but also had so much more in terms of emotion, thought and purpose, it will forever be one of my favorite metal bands.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who was or is into metal. I now have a greater appreciation for all of the time, effort and sacrifice that CF put into their work. The text is well-balanced. Tom relates many funny and crazy incidents that go along with being on the road, but also provides a detailed account of the band's history and development.

A great account and real eye opener ..........2002-09-01

First of all I am honored to be writing the review after the great Tom Warrior Fischer ... I cannot believe it. I am 31 but still a huge fan!

The book is a great and easy read and I finished it in 2 days. Being familiar with the music and players names helped, but I think anyone unfamiliar with this might have a hard time "relating" ... so to speak. To me this book is like listening to a Director's Commentary on your favorite DVD. While it gives away a lot about the band and the logic and reasoning behind the creation of their records and the progression of the music throughout the years ... it took away some of the mystery and aura that has surrounded them.

I am not saying this is a detremental effect, but this is the effect that it has left on me. The road antics were great and the fact that Sir Fischer has always tried to stay the straight as an arrow path of being monogamous and keeping it in his pants ... was refreshing for a rock star story.

Looking forward to a much needed reunion and a great new album soon.

Ughhh!

I love this book.......2002-06-09

Celtic Frost was/is a fantastic band. I watched them from the Hellhammer days(I love the apocalyptic raids e.p.) when Bernard Doe(metal forces Editor) said they were complete crap to rising up to the top of the heap of 80's thrash metal as Celtic Frost. This book portrays the rise and fall of a metal titan. Frost music was playing in my head as I read this. Tom's story had me shaking my head saying "I didnt know that happened" to Laughing out loud. Its got the usual parties girls and the such but it was great reading because I lived the the thrash metal movement and it just brings back great times when it was all about the music. Thanks Tom!

Book Description

The story of how the Jimi Hendrix Experience's first album, Are You Experienced, was made is even more astonishing than the record itself, and this book tells it all. With its finely crafted songwriting, breathtaking guitar playing, and the sheer power of the group, Are You Experienced was unlike anything heard before and paved the way for generations of rock to come. But rather than the result of a concentrated period of hard work, the album was recorded in short sessions between gigs, in radically different studios; moreover, Hendrix first showed most of the songs to the other band members on the day of recording, with no prior rehearsals. Here is the whole story, based on extensive interviews, along with accounts of all the album's influences-Jimi's love affair with Kathy Etchingham, the band's perennially penniless state, the gigs they had to perform to keep themselves afloat, and the growing awareness among British musicians that Jimi Hendrix was perhaps rock's greatest guitarist.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Music Journalism.......2007-05-26

"Fans" might disapprove of some of Egan's critical judgments, but that in no way diminishes his first-class research achievements in bringing to light how one of the best debut albums of the '60s came to be. Mitch Mitchell's is the main voice missing, though manager and ex-Animal Chas Chandler should be heard more. Believe he died before the book was written. Jimi did little rehearsing for his big debut, and the transformation from run of the mill r&b guitar player to interstellar genius seemingly came overnight, or at least as soon as Jimi got away from the U.S. and into the fecund London music scene of 1966-67. It's difficult now to recall just how wild "Are You Experienced" seemed back then. It wasn't as big a hit as you'd think, given its now revered place in rock history. I remember buying it and liking it as a 13 yr old. If you are curious how this artifact was created, then this book will fully clue you in about all the studio and tech music details. It brings Jimi back to life and strips off a lot of the myth.

Chronogical events from the recording sessions! Hendrix fan or not this is very entertaining.......2005-10-30

This book provides an entertaining view of the making of how one of the best debut albums in the classic rock scene.
It provides a chronological view of the whole recording process... from finding one of the best rythmic sections of all time, to tales about how Hendrix and Jim Marshall came up with the sound effects, plus views from the engineer Eddie Kramer. This book is WELL researched.

The author tells the Hendrix story briefly since it's not in the scope of the book, but boy it was so interesting. How Chas Chandler (manager and producer) pushed Hendrix to the limits...

Just read the damn thing! you won't be dissapointed if you have music running through veins.

Poorly written, though amusing timewaster.......2004-12-19

While one would think the author of a book about the classic Hendrix album "Are you Experienced" would love most of Hendrix's music and be a big fan, maybe that's not true in this case. Egan bashes at least three songs on the album, and later concludes the book with "As stated in the introduction, Are You Experienced is clearly one of the greatest albums of all time." The fact that he doesn't even like a good chunk of the album but then classifies it so highly makes it seem like he's writing an essay at school on something he doesn't care about. Of course any big Hendrix fan will have a few songs he/she doesn't care for too much, but the author contradicts himself in such a strange way that he doesn't seem to like much of Hendrix's music at all.
Anyway, as for the rest of the book, it's just your average information. There's a lot of focus on recording equipment and techniques, which can be quite boring at times, but overall, it's an insightful read, excluding the opinionated part. However, there's really nothing in this book that you couldn't find in another, better one. Buy this if it's at a flea market for $2. If not, find something more worthwhile.

A Bit Paradoxical But Still More Than Worthwhile.......2004-03-03

This book was written by Sean Egan and was published in 2002 by A Capppella books as part of a series called "Vinyl Frontier". I've had it a while and initially just thumbed through it for flavor, then recently went through it cover to cover.

I found this book to a bit paradoxical at times, but with enough merit to recommend its purchase to those into Jimi's music or the history of rock in general. Egan conducted numerous interviews that I haven't found published anywhere previous to this book and the key there is he asked some fresh questions that gave answers to similar questions I've had for some time. For example, Lonnie Youngblood gives interesting perspectve on Jimi the musician in the pre-Experience days. Likewise, the comments by Linda Keith on those exciting days the cusp of Jimi's discovery are illuminating.

Historical perspective is generally excellent, although not exhaustive. This book focuses on AYE and does not bother with historical trivia that does not bear on this album in some direct manner. Once we are brought to the recordings made in late '66 and '67 that became singles and album tracks for AYE, the mostly chronological approach is effective. This fleshes out the differences between the British Track and US Reprise releases effectively, even if Egan's opinions might not agree perfectly with mine.

The technological aspects of these recordings are given some discussion, but not necessarily an exhaustive one from a technotweak perspective. However, the discussion of how the technology was used as a musical research tool and its final effect on the music was given excellent treatment. For example, the discussion of 3rd Stone from the Sun was very entertaining. I particularly enjoyed his mention of people playing their album at 78 rpm to flesh out the vocals that were patched in at half speed. See, people were mining for hidden snippets back there in real time and I'm not the only one to say so!

Now for the more confusing aspects: The back cover starts by talking about albums that are so extrordinary that they influence generations of inspiring artists, yada, yada. Yes, AYE certainly fits that mold, maybe even shatters it to bits requiring a remolding job for all that follow. The problem comes when one reads the last chapter, titled: "The Songs". Herein we are treated to what I consider to be overly harsh criticisms of too many of these songs - such that I'm surprised that Egan considers AYE to be worthy of classic status. Three of the British Track LP tracks, I Don't Live Today, 3rd Stone From The Sun and Are You Experienced receive criticisms that I disagree with, and do so strongly. Those are three of my all-time favorites! Don't get me wrong - I enjoy diversity and respect the opinions of others regardless of how flawed they in
fact are, but this last chapter left me wondering if Egan might have been in a bit of a rush to finish the project off? His writing here is on average less colorful and insightful than the rest of the book and due to the subject matter - the music itself - it sticks out like a sore thumb. But I still strongly recommend this book, without reservation.

A mixed bag...not very in depth but has a few gems.......2004-01-30

This brief book seems to be written by someone that's at best a very casual fan of Hendrix's music. He actually slags off "Electric Ladyland" and states that by the end of Hendrix's life his solos had gotten "boring" (hmmmm...maybe he should listen to "band of gypsys" or "live at berkeley: the second set"?). However if you're a SERIOUS Hendrix fan you'll still find a few nuggets here...you can read some interview excerpts from some of his early studio engineers, girlfriends and career supporters. Although I've read many Hendrix books there were a few details I was unaware of and was happy to discover. I came away feeling I had glimpsed a very specific period of his career...the time period from when he landed in England to when he returned to the USA for his star-making set at the Monterey music festival in California. Other than that the book was a disappointingly light affair written in an offhand fashion by someone that doesn't know much about music (or so it would seem...)
