Found this site by complete accident, what an awesome idea. I know I have very fond memories of some of my old demo tapes and used to find it fascinating to see the roots of where some of the big rock bands came from and how their music had changed. Keep it up!

Hi Ian,
Just got my ebay-procured ‘Original Mint ” Carcass ’92 Tour (yeah, the cool-as-hell red one that you have) shirt. Sadly, it’s a really decent quality reprint. On second thought, I guess it is kinda nice to have my very own new shirt. Paying lot$ for some stranger’s used shirt now seems dumb. After all, isn’t the point about wearing shirts about simply displaying the love? Again, thanks for all you do. I’ve been sending friends your way. Enjoy Yourself! -Mike, Staten Island, NY

KDM:

Danke for the clarification — that’s an error particular to the German editions, which I wasn’t aware of until now. I don’t know why the translator sought to add a detail, and then got it wrong, but such is the stuff of an author’s nightmares. I appreciate you setting the record straight.

My son just showed me the German version of the book “Sound of the Beast”, published by Austrian “hannibal” under the heading “Hoellenlaerm” (2nd edition, 2005).
On page 294 is written that some band’s intro “starts with the drum sound of Conrad Schnitzler, once the drummer of the psychedelic band Tangerine Dream … which is know by everyone with a bit deeper interest…” (I translate from the German).
Wrong. Conrad Schnitzler was the violin player of the band (and a bit of cello on this album). The excellent drummer then, live and on the first album of Tangerine Dream, was Klaus Schulze.

Ian has published the best book on metal ever, and I have read dozens. For the first time you can actually read someone who is not only 100% competent on what he writes, but he also has the journalistic ability to extract important events from history and place them in the right order. You can actually tell this guy has gone through it all. I started my musical “life” in the mid eighties, and “Sounds” is the first book that succeeds in making me revive it all (the coming of cd, the walkman, the tapetrading etc…). His blog is also sublime, my number 1 musical read – period.

Hey, I just came across your site, this is excellent. The demos in particular are great, it’s always good finding early stuff from bands you already know about, and even better discovering entirely new stuff, keep it up!
