Martin Popoff has been described as the worlds most famous heavy-metal journalist, though he has covered plenty of Punk and New Wave albums in his career of 7,000-plus album reviews. He has penned many books on various bands, genres of rock, and record collecting, including Voyageur Press Rush: The Illustrated History; Metallica: The Complete Illustrated History; The Art of Metal; and The Big Book of Hair Metal. He has also worked on film documentaries about Rush and ZZ Top. Popoff lives in Toronto.
Popoff both loves and knows the material and chronicles a recording career through an ongoing conversation between the author and a cast of interesting characters, including rock critics, producers and musicians. * Shepherd Express * It's fascinating to read the back and forth...and it strikes a good balance for both the casual and die hard fan. And as with any good book of this type, makes the reader want to go back and revisit (or visit for the first time) many of the non-hits. * HoustonPress.com * a fine approach to a musical biography of a band rather than an individual, as it allows for a broader scope of discussion among the members themselves, their contemporaries and musical progeny, as well as rock journalists * Spectrum Culture *
