PETER DOLVING, former singer for THE HAUNTED, has written a 203 page papaerback titled Burnvictim.

This collection of tournotes and reflections of reality through the eyes of a touring musician, will have you laughing, gasping, frowning, inspired and provoked. Peter Dolving has spent the last 20 years on tour with different bands all over the world. Always wondering, always questioning, the myths, the actions and reaching deep into the psyche of himself, but also of our mutual understanding of reality as it unfolds before us. A truly entertaining read, and an insight into a bizarre side of society.

Dolving states, “Go buy it, if nothing else it’ll be that book in the shelf that will catch your friends eye and have them going; ‘Dude can I borrow it?!'”

Burnvictim is currently available via Lulu.

SEX PISTOLS: Sneak Peek At ‘Never Mind The Bollocks’ 35th-Anniversary Hardcover Diary

The 35th-anniversary “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols” super-deluxe box set will be made available in the U.K. on September 24.

A sneak peek video of the 100-page 12-inch-by-12-inch hardcover book that’s included in the release can be seen below. The book, a diary of 1977, is packed with exclusive images, recording details, memorabilia and rare photos chronicling every significant band event that year with quotes from key figures.

As one of the most iconic and influential albums in music history, “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols” still sounds as powerful and unique as ever, 35 years since the original release. As such an important musical and cultural force the album changed the landscape for records and the music industry. The SEX PISTOLS defined a generation and captured a feeling within the nation that simply no one else could of. The band created a truly distinctive sound and “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols” impact and influence still strongly resonates with musicians, artists and people to this day. To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Universal Music U.K. has assembled a super-deluxe box-set release that really does this legendary album justice.

While many fans will undoubtedly be of the opinion that there can be very little left in the SEX PISTOLS vaults that hasn’t already been seen and heard, followers of the band will be thrilled by the treasure trove of music, footage, interviews, pictures and artifacts confirmed to be included.

The original master tapes from the “Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols” recording sessions in 1977 were thought to be lost for many years. Now thankfully rediscovered during the recent move from Virgin Records to Universal Music catalogue in January 2012, the tapes have been remastered, for the very first time, by Tim Young under direction from original producer Chris Thomas. Some real treats have also been found along the way. The find that will perhaps excite fans the most is the lost 1977 demo studio recording of “Belsen Was A Gas”, the only original SEX PISTOLS composition of the era thought not to be recorded.

Other treats include the inclusion of six demos first included on the infamous “Spunk” bootleg album, released for the very first time in their original, untouched form following the very recent discovery of their original master tapes. These, combined with a selection of unreleased Chris Thomas demos and outtakes from the recording of the album — including tracks with Sid Vicious on bass — plus a wealth of live audio and visual material all from 1977 make up a box set that will truly satisfy fans of the band.

Below is a breakdown of the contents:

Posted in: Int. News. Tagged: , , . Leave a comment

John Wiley & Sons has set a November 6 release date for “Led Zeppelin: The Oral History Of The World’s Greatest Rock Band”, a new book by Barney Hoskyns, a contributing editor at British Vogue who is the author of the bestselling book “Hotel California” and the co-founder of online music-journalism library Rock’s Backpages.

The 576-page hardcover is based on more than 200 interviews with everyone from Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones to road manager Richard Cole, their late manager Peter Grant, and many others central to the ZEPPELIN story.

With Plant on lead vocals and Page on guitar, LED ZEPPELIN is one of the most iconic, legendary, and influential rock bands in musical history. Tales of their indulgence in sex, drugs, and excess have swirled for decades. In this definitive oral history of the band, Hoskyns finally reveals the truth about LED ZEPPELIN, paring away the myths and describing what life was really like for four young men on top of the world, enjoying fame on a scale that not even THE BEATLES experienced as a touring live act. Through fresh new interviews with the surviving band members, close friends, their tour manager, and scores of other fascinating characters, Hoskyns provides deep insights into the personalities of the band members and chronicles the group’s dramatic rise, fall, and legacy.

Other notes:

* Features striking photos of the band both on and offstage, many published here for the first time
* Takes a fresh look at LED ZEPPELIN‘s music, cultural significance, and legend, as well as the highs and lows of the sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle on the road
* Analyzes the way the band wrote, arranged, and recorded, from how they created the stupendous sound and dynamics on “Dazed And Confused” and “Whole Lotta Love” to the group’s folk-suffused acoustic side embodied in songs like “Friends” and “That’s The Way”

In a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, Hoskyns discusseed some of the shocking details he uncovered about the band during its 1970s heyday.

“ZEPPELIN were the biggest band on Earth in the 1970s and were a law unto themselves,” he explained. “They drove through red lights in limousines, there were many brutish incidents of physical violence. Any mess was cleaned up very efficiently.”

Coming this October is “Slash: An Intimate Portrait”, a new 144-page hardcover book by Richard Bienstock, with photography by Robert Knight.

GUNS N’ ROSES‘ 1987 debut, “Appetite For Destruction”, is eighteen times platinum, has sold over twenty-eight million copies, and launched the career of modern guitar god Slash. Over the past twenty-five years, Slash‘s cool stage presence, gloriously unkempt hair, iconic top hat, and soulful guitar virtuosity has been the epitome of contemporary hard rock. “Slash: An Intimate Portrait” takes you beyond the glitz and mystique, to reveal the warmth, charm, and humility of one of popular music’s most revered rockers.

In addition to his cherished work with GN’R, Slash‘s journey spans working with Michael Jackson, Fergie, Iggy Pop, Lenny Kravitz, the supergroup VELVET REVOLVER, and releasing two critically acclaimed solo albums. Robert Knight‘s photographs in “Slash: An Intimate Portrait” trace significant milestones over twenty years in Slash‘s career, showing him onstage, in the studio, and at home. Knight‘s talent for capturing the true essence of his subject is on full display: candid, dramatic, and often funny. These photos take us beyond the big hair, the big hat, and the huge guitar riffs to underscore the larger-than-life personality and genuine enthusiasm that have made Slash one of rock’s most recognizable figures for more than three decades. With over one hundred arresting and never-before-published color and black-and-white photos, and warmly candid insights from Slash himself, this fascinating book frames a real and complete perspective of today’s most iconic guitarist.

“Slash: An Intimate Portrait” features an entertaining and insightful foreword by close friend and legend in his own right, THE ROLLING STONES guitarist Ronnie Wood, and a witty and thoughtful preface from AEROSMITH‘s Joe Perry. The book also has revelatory text by noted rock scribe Richard Bienstock.

“Slash: An Intimate Portrait” is a treat for guitar heads, rock buffs, and pop music fans. Plus, it will be released just in time to visually complement an upcoming special edition of Slash‘s highly regarded sophomore solo record, “Apocalyptic Love”.
