Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Empirically proving that — no matter where you are — kids wanna rock, this is Chuck Klosterman's hilrious memoir of growing up as a shameless metalhead in Wyndmere, North Dakotoa (population: 498). With a voice like Ace Frehley's guitar, Klosterman hacks his way through hair-band history, beginning with that fateful day in 1983 when his older brother brought home Mötley Crüe's Shout at the Devil. The fifth-grade Chuck wasn't quite ready to rock — his hair was too short and his farm was too quiet — but he still found a way to bang his nappy little head. Before the journey was over, he would slow-dance to Poison, sleep innocently beneath satanic pentagrams, lust for Lita Ford, and get ridiculously intellectual about Guns N' Roses. C'mon and feel his noize.
Review:
"[W]hat Lester Bangs would have written had he been a farmboy raised on a diet of Skid Row and KISS." Kirkus Reviews
Review:
"Writing about American pop culture doesn't get any better than this, or any funnier, or any more readable." Stephen King
Synopsis:
Powered by a sharp and wholly original voice, Klosterman delivers a real-life "High Fidelity" in this savvy, deliriously funny memoir of growing up a shameless heavy-metal devotee in 1980s North Dakota.
