Showing how one of the most popular American rock bands of the third millennium has superseded the ambitions, talents, and durability of all their original “Nu-Metal” contemporaries, this is the first-ever chronicle to investigate the career of Linkin Park. Demonstrating how they have found such success, this account begins with a group biography before moving into a discussion of the band’s music and detailing all of their albums and songs. Guides to past and present band members are also included, as well as information on recording and touring guests, music videos, tours, and films. The handbook concludes with a more personal collection of hundreds of quotes from and interviews with the band. Beautifully illustrated with photographs and band paraphernalia and featuring sidebars detailing intriguing tidbits, this is a visually stunning survey of a group that has been compared to legends such as Bon Jovi, U2, and Nirvana.

Influenced by the legendary British blues-rock bands of the sixties such as Cream and Led Zeppelin, the true story of Judas Priest reveals how a group of poor, working-class lads followed in their heroes footsteps.

The biography explores the rise of You Me At Six, detailing their journey from a budding band to one of the most celebrated alternative rock acts. It highlights their work ethic, innovative approach, and the loyal fan base they've cultivated through extensive touring. The narrative includes insights into their album-making processes, vibrant live performances, and the influence of their musical heroes. Updated to coincide with the release of their Number 1 album, Cavalier Youth, the book showcases the band's significant impact on the music scene despite fierce competition.

This unique book is the first to focus on Iron Maiden's important formative years, from their formation in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris, through the turbulent Paul Di'Anno years and the arrival of Bruce Dickinson, up to 1983's Piece of Mind album when they became the world's biggest band.

Adam Lambert is a true Hollywood success story. Despite coming second in season eight of American Idol, losing out to Kris Allen, Lambert has become one of the most successful and admired American pop artists of the 21st century. With just two solo albums under his belt, he has sold over two million albums and four million singles worldwide. He has won numerous awards and been nominated for some of the most coveted prizes in the music industry, including the Grammys.

Fiercely talented and stylish, Lambert has drawn inspiration from the likes of Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Madonna with both his vocals and image. Not only is he a singer but also an avid philanthropist and social rights activist.

He has won great acclaim around the world after touring with Queen in 2012, and then in 2014 and 2015.

Známý britský rockový publicista se tentokrát zaměřil na jednu z největších rockových ikon – zpěváka Roberta Planta. Kniha mapuje Plantovu kariéru od počátku s Led Zeppelin, přes společné vystupování s Jimmy Pagem až po současné sólové projekty. A jak je u Neila Danilese zvykem, nechybí podrobné diskografie, filmografie, bibliografie apod.

Kniha známého britského rockového novináře Neila Danielse (nakladatelství Volvox Globator vydalo jeho knihy Robert Plant AC/DC – Raná léta s Bonem Scottem a Metallica – První roky a vzestup metalu) o nejvousatější kapele světa kombinuje „klasický životopis“ a průvodce. Nejdříve tedy čteme chronologické vyprávění o vzniku kapely a potom můžeme listovat v heslech vztahujících se k ZZ Top.

Další kniha britského novináře Neila Danielse se zabývá kariérou Briana Maye, kytaristy skupiny Queen.

Bon Scott bývá často označován jako nejlepší frontman v historii rockové hudby. Jeho památka žije dál i po jeho tragické smrti (19. února 1980). AC/DC vznikli v roce 1973, ale teprve po příchodu skotského zpěváka Roberta Belforda Scotta v druhé půli roku 1974 získali tu správnou sílu. Jejich alba, počínaje High Voltage (1975) a konče Highway to Hell (1980), jim přinesla mezinárodní úspěch a privilegované postavení na hardrockové scéně. Další kniha anglického rockového novináře Neila Danielse se věnuje právě tomuto období australské populární kapely.

Kniha známého britského rockového novináře Neila Danielse se podrobně věnuje začátkům zřejmě nejslavnější a nejvlivnější metalové kapely osmdesátých let minulého století. Vidíme krok za krokem zrod Metalliky a její vzestup do první ligy a potom i na její vrchol.
