C'mon Grave you supposed to know these things man...kidding with ya xd

But yea I did see one book in borders (cant remember the name) that had cover art from a lot of different bands in Heavy Metal...only thing it had some art from bands as I said above from RHCP, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine I believe as well. All good bands but definitely not Metal.

I'd think a good accurate book about metal would be hard to come by, if it even exists.

I bought a decent book. It gets some genre wrong and which bands fit in them wrong but everything else is good. It talks about who did what, who started what, and it also talks about other stuff that influenced metal through the years like Rap. It got most things right, more then I was expecting.

This is the book

I read the same book. Ian Christe knows his stuff, I listen to his show on Sirius. A lot of metalcore/nu-metal, but he did a full show on Power metal one time.

Or Sepultura. But Slayer's first album is very 1st Wave Black Metal, so I guess its close.

But he still got the facts straight, like how they were influenced, who they influenced, he just gave them bullshit names.

I am curious is there a good resource to read on the history of Heavy Metal. I did see one book but it was kinda inaccurate for the latter years...talking about Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers.... confused
look up "sound of the beast: the complete headbanging history of heavy metal" by ian christe. i enjoyed that one very much
