Produktbeschreibung
Tool are the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century. Far more than just a metal band, the California - based quartet of master - musicians - Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones - have taken the concept of heavy music and completely redefined it. The intricate complex music which they make shouldn't be successful in today's culture of bland, corporate entertainment, and yet Tool have been the recipients of three Grammy awards and a shelfload of gold and platinum discs. Their rise to glory has been one of the stranger tales of our time, and Joel McIver's new biography - the first Tool book ever written - delves into the mystery behind the music. McIver discusses the band members' early lives and pre-fame occupations, the introduction of the bandmembers to each other, their videos, EPs and tours and it features hundreds of interviews.
Autorenporträt
Joel McIver (born 1971) is a British author. The best-known of his 21 books to date is the bestselling Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica, first published in 2004 and selling close to 50,000 copies in nine languages since then. McIver's other works include biographies of Black Sabbath, Slayer, Ice Cube and Queens Of The Stone Age. His writing also appears in many newspapers and magazines, including The Guardian, Classic Rock and Rolling Stone, and he is a regular guest on music-related BBC and commercial radio. In the introduction to a 2009 collection of rock writing, McIver was described as "probably the top [rock] scribe in the world," and in a book review in April 2012, Classic Rock magazine labelled McIver "by some distance Britain's most prolific hard rock/metal author."
