(That's a lot. The previous edition was 300 pages, with 450 endnotes/citations, a four-page index, and 33 photos & images.)
The REBORN & RE-REMASTERED 4TH EDITION of the definitive Slayer biography was hella updated, expanded, revamped, re-edited, re-proofread, and revised after the thrash kings' reunion. This update is also easier to read. Most sentences and paragraphs are shorter. Crucial new material unearths details and episodes from the band's entire history.
SLAYER 66 2/3... OR, HOW F*KIN' SLAYER KICKED F*KIN' @ASS, now exists in five forms. It is also available as... 2) THE OVERSIZED VERSION runs 580 pages at 8.5 x 11”, with full narrative content, in larger type. 3) THE eBOOK features two additional appendices and (mostly) color images, with full narrative content. 4) THE LONG STORY SHORT...AND CHEAPER paperback is also 6 x 9", and runs just 400 pages...in case you don't want to read all that. 5) An audiobook.
In any form, this exhaustively researched rock biography answers burning questions, shatters popular myths, and uncovers new truths about Slayer, the iconic group that still stands as the embodiment of heavy metal.
Seven new chapters include the band's surprising reunion. Kerry King's self-titled group. Details about Slayer's hazy — and temporary — breakup. The final world tour. Updated Slayer career stats. Results from three fan surveys. And newly discovered details from the group's earliest days. The new Rick Rubin Watch running feature chronicles pivotal moments between the band and their longtime producer & label boss.
SLAYER 66 2/3... profiles Slayer's individual members, including Gary Holt. Take a fresh look at the group's scorched-earth campaigns around the world. Reign in Blood tours. A European invasion. The Palladium riot. The seat cushion chaos concert. King's brief stint in Megadeth. Newly revealed details from drummer Dave Lombardo's turbulent history. Previously unreleased historical artwork and photos. The entire diabolical discography.
This book isn't just about Slayer. Original & archival metrics contrast the careers of the Big Four Thrash Metal Bands. Other episodes include the Big Four concerts. The top tributes to Jeff Hanneman. Untold stories. Updates. And relevant digressions. Over decades, Slayer experience triumph, loss, and death — but never defeat...whether it's at the hands of rivals, peers, America's most infamous church, or the United States government.
In addition to extensive archival material, this book features original content from the band and key affiliates. Firsthand witnesses include Metal Blade CEO Brian Slagel, tour manager Doug Goodman, engineer Bill Metoyer, Metal Blade exec William "DJ Will" Howell, and cover artist Albert Cuellar (who went on to work with Tim Burton and Marvel Studios).
60 photos and 11 illustrations include lost artwork by Hell Awaits artist Albert Cuellar and stunning exclusive pictures by Harald Oimoen (of Murder in the Front Row renown). It also includes Hanneman's sketch for the Live Undead cover.
New photos include artifacts and Slayer’s reunion concert.
