Editorial reviews
In Def Leppard: A Rockview Audiobiography, Chris Tetle sits down with the legendary hair metal band's singer, Joe Elliott, and bassist, Rick Savage, for a warm, engaging interview that offers insight into what makes these British rockers tick. Over the 18 minutes of clear audio, the two discuss the album that brought their breakthrough success in America, Pyromania, as well as the joys and rigors of touring. Though the original recording dates back to 1999, this digital edition stands up to current listening and presents a unique, conversational biography of one of the most popular metal bands of the late 20th century.
Publisher's summary
Def Leppard led the way, in 1980, for Britain’s new wave of heavy metal. They were catapulted to stardom within months alongside other bands such as Iron Maiden, Saxon and Whitesnake.
Their trademark was multi vocal harmonies and melodious songs, which appealed to America and gave them instant success.
This exclusive audiobiography is not an official music release by the artist or record company but is of studio quality and features Joe Elliot and Rick Savage who share their passion for Heavy Metal. They talk about the brilliant album "Pyromania", the relentless touring their motivation and how they handled success. A must buy for the collector, music historian and fan.

In this brave and moving memoir, Corey Feldman is revealing the truth about what his life was like behind the scenes: His is a past that included physical, drug, and sexual abuse, a dysfunctional family from which he was emancipated at age fifteen, three high-profile arrests for drug possession, a nine-month stint in rehab, and a long, slow crawl back to the top of the box office.

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 517
From age 11, in 1974, until she left the show, in 1981, Melissa Anderson literally grew up before the viewers of Little House on the Prairie. Melissa, as Mary, is remembered by many as the blind sister - and she was the only actor in the series to be nominated for an Emmy. In The Way I See It, she takes listeners onto the set and inside the world of the iconic series created by Michael Landon, who, Melissa discovered, was not perfect, as much as he tried to be. In this memoir she also shares her memories of working with guest stars like Todd Bridges, Mariette Hartley, Sean Penn, Patricia Neal, and Johnny Cash.

As a precocious kid who took Broadway by storm at the age of 18, Laura Benanti spent her formative years playing grown-ups onstage, but it took her a while to figure out how to be one in real life. With her razor-sharp wit and unapologetic candor, Benanti shares her hard-won insights on topics like marriage, motherhood, perimenopause, female friendship, and making peace with the younger versions of ourselves.

Alice in Chains was the first of grunge's big four - ahead of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden - to get a gold record and achieve national recognition. With the charismatic Layne Staley behind the microphone, they became one of the most influential and successful bands to come out of the Seattle music scene. But as the band got bigger, so did its problems.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,830
No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

Best Band EVER!
Awesome short interview bit, also very interesting. To bad Steve wasn't included. Been seeing these Lads concerts in the US since 1980 . Went to their 2023 World Tour in LA and when they started their European gig in Sheffield. Great band but miss Steve's live performances.

Good stuff for a true fan
I enjoyed hearing the guys talk about their experiences in their younger voices, with that fresh excitement that only a young band can have. It's interesting comparing those guys to the men they are now, with the years of experience they have behind them.
As far as the actual quality of the recording goes, it does get a bit muddy, but if you're used to the way TV sounded back in the 80's & 90's you shouldn't have much trouble getting your ear tuned in.
I wish it was a longer recording. I wish we could have heard from Steve and maybe Pete as well, although it's always nice to hear from Joe, Rick, Phil and Sav.

The person interviewing the band is a wanker and annoying. Who asks anyone doing an interview if they’re pissed?
