This review is from: Eddie Trunk's Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal
(Paperback)
I thought I'd enjoy this more, being a huge hard rock and metal fan.
I'd never heard of Eddie Trunk before this, but I discovered he did
have the credentials for such a book. Sadly though, the basis for this
project appears to be just an outlet for Eddie to tell us all how
friendly he is with famous rock stars. It's okay to do this here and
there, but on almost EVERY page we have to hear how "great a
friend" (insert-famous-name-here) is. Really tedious and amateurish.
Makes what could have been a nice book really difficult to sit
through. I did enjoy his lists of favorite tracks by each artist. I
would suggest any books by Martin Popoff or Chuck Eddy, as they can
dish heavy metal as well as anyone, but without the self-promotion
(and they don't see Bon Jovi as a viable "hard rock" act).
