For me, the 2 must read books are: I am Ozzy - Ozzy Osbourne (Possibly the funniest, least boring and surprising muso book there is) Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden (One of the most inspiring and interesting books about a band.. also helps to understand the necessary mindset for being a leader like Steve Harris) I'm currently reading Iron Man - Tony Iommi at the moment You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's really interesting to know how the band raised from the underground to the top is a very short period of time and the effect that it had in his members. It's also cool to know all the variations and situations that took place before having the first album line up as well as the details on how they wrote their best songs.

Whilst both are more about the specific ground breaking albums both none the less give a lot of insight in to Coltrane and Davis as musicians and what drove them at those specific times. Also, and arguably unlike some music books, both are well written. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I really liked it. it was well written and the mixture of diary style entries and explanations written in retrospect worked really well. Some parts of the book were absolutely insane! I was a big crue fan back in the day and didnt realise at the time just how messed up Nikki Sixx really was. QUOTE (Ben Higgins @ Mar 7 2012, 01:11 PM) I am Ozzy - Ozzy Osbourne (Possibly the funniest, least boring and surprising muso book there is) The ozzy one does sound good.
