A Fast Ride Out of Here: Confessions of Rock’s Most Dangerous Man
By Pete Way with Paul Rees Published by Constable (Little Brown Book Group) Ozzy Osbourne says that he’s way out of his league when it comes to Pete Way; on the strength of this entertaining book I would say that most certainly is so. Musically, Pete is most famous for playing the bass in UFO, but…

‘Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers: The Rise of Motorhead’ by Martin Popoff
That title is a very fair description of Motorhead. They certainly were beer drinkers and hell raisers… especially in their golden years, the time of the Three Amigos line-up: Lemmy, Fast Eddie, and Philthy Phil! To put it in perspective, circa ‘No Sleep Till Hammersmith’ everyone knew who Motorhead was. They were even on programs…

Happy 30th birthday to… Motorhead’s Orgasmatron

Clutch – Psychic Warfare
I have a confession to make: I’m not a super-huge Clutch fan. Mind you, I think I’ve seen ‘em three of the last four times they played here—but only because they were touring with Wino, Motorhead and Orange Goblin, respectively.

Satan – Atom by Atom
Usually each year we’re faced with much uncertainty when hearing new metal music, especially a band with veterans such as Satan.

SRV IS a blues guitarist (and a damned good one), but his work garners mention on Hellbound for a few…
