Looking forward to reading this. A band from my neck of the woods, my friend's brother was part of the management team in the 70's/80's and if they were touring the UK during the six week summer school holiday, my friend got to be a part of the road crew. I wasn't his friend at that time but when I became his friend, his brother was still involved. Heard some great stories.
This is the latest version of the book as up to date as possible.

Very cool! I am curious, do you know if this was a hit before Metallica covered it?

They were quite big in the UK, and topped the NWOBHM charts a few times but Metallica made their songs internationally known.

Must be a good feeling to have Metallica spread your message!

Yeah, read this, it's very interesting and one of those unusual things from which an incredibly huge band is born.

Not many people know that METALLICA was a HUGE Diamond Head fan and that much of their early live material was just Diamond Head covers!!

Just to clarify my wife got me this for my birthday last Monday, it's available HERE , 500 copy limited edition, the message and signature are a no cost option.
I think he still teaches guitar at his home in Stourbridge, maybe I should go and get some lessons from him, see if he'd do a few guest Diamond Head lessons for us at GMC This post has been edited by Phil66: Feb 15 2020, 08:44 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'm reading through it slowly because it's my bedtime reading and I usually fall asleep after four or five pages It's interesting though to read about some of the stories I was told about and also when Brian mentions people I know.
