The book recounts the early beginning of a metal-obsessed Southern California kid who launched a fanzine and landed a record store job, before cobbling together what he assumed would be a one-off compilation of fledgling bands from the L.A. scene. Released in 1982, the Metal Massacre LP included the debut recordings of local groups such as Steeler, Malice, Ratt, and Metallica. For The Sake Of Heaviness pulls back the curtain to reveal the definitive look at how Metal Blade began, what they've accomplished, and where they're going. Slagel reveals the early advice he gave that helped guide M©Åtley Cr©ơe's career; how he helped Metallica replace their bassist--twice; his detailed work on Thin Lizzy and Alice Cooper reissues; his behind-the-scenes role in the careers of Slayer, Gwar, Mother Love Bone, Alice in Chains, Faith No More, Goo Goo Dolls, and Lamb of God; and his unlikely ventures with kindred metal heads--from hockey star Ken Baumgartner, to celebrity chef Chris Santos, to The Howard Stern Show's Richard Christy, to comedians Jim Florentine, Don Jamieson and Jim Breuer"--Publisher's description. 610 20 $a Metal Blade Records (Firm) $x History. 650 0 $a Heavy metal (Music) $x History. 650 0 $a Sound studios $z California $x History. 700 1 $a Eglington, Mark, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724012214.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B5BD05ACD7311EABC1FA90E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
