      Entertaining and hilarious stories from Scott Ian of Anthrax reveal the wild experiences of his decades on tour. Known for cofounding the legendary thrash metal band and his iconic beard, Scott shares zany and captivating tales that go beyond the band's music. In over thirty years in the hard rock scene, he has witnessed outrageous backstage antics, punched a legendary musician, worked as a bouncer at an exclusive nightclub, guest-starred on Married with Children, invaded a fellow rock star's home, played poker professionally, and even had a non-date with a certain material girl. Scott's humor, candor, and exceptional writing skills invite readers into the parties and behind-the-scenes moments that are rarely shared. His stories are infused with a touch of divine inspiration from KISS, which he discusses in chapter two. With a remarkable lack of embarrassment, Scott delivers a collection that is howlingly funny, self-deprecating, and as bold as one would expect from a pioneer of speed metal. Access All Areas offers fans an unfiltered glimpse into the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, filled with unforgettable escapades and outrageous encounters.

    • "I’m the Man" nie jest kolejną typową autobiografią gwiazdy rocka. Mimo że Scott Ian w zawrotnym tempie i z dużą dozą poczucia humoru opowiada o swoim udziale w wielu zabawnych sytuacjach, jak choćby o swoich doświadczeniach z narkotykami czy o szalonym imprezowaniu, książka skupia się jednak i w odświeżający, drobiazgowy sposób opowiada o muzyce, a zwłaszcza o muzyce Anthraxu, jednego z zespołów tzw. Wielkiej Czwórki – obok Metalliki, Megadeth i Slayera. To opowieść o tym, jak udało im się zmienić bieg ciężkiej muzyki, kierując go z dala od hair metalu lat 80., a to głównie za sprawą ciężkiej pracy, woli i wytrwałości. Pełen energii i pasji, miłośnik komiksów i żywiołowości na scenie, ale i oddany mąż i ojciec ma co opowiadać. A fani znajdą tu szczere, bez lukrowania opowieści zza kulis nie tylko Anthraxu, ale i całej sceny metalowej. Oto zdumiewająca opowieść utalentowanego łysego gościa z kozią bródką.

      Anthrax I'm The Man
    • Autobiografie Iana Scotta je svižný a humorný memoár muže, který založil ANTHRAX, kapelu, jež prokázala, že thrash metal a legrace se nevylučují. Scott, navzdory různým změnám v sestavě a chaosu v hudebním průmyslu, vždy přistupoval k životu s úsměvem. Jeho vášeň pro hudbu se projevuje v energických koncertech, ačkoli si nenechal slávu stoupnout do hlavy. Sžíravé dílo plné upřímnosti ukazuje, jak dokázal udržet metalovou instituci ANTHRAX více než 40 let. Scott Ian Rosenfeld vypráví svůj životní příběh s naprostou upřímností a nešetří se ani v sebereflexi. Jako chlapec z židovské rodiny v newyorské čtvrti Queens zažil hudební zjevení při sledování koncertu KISS, což ho přivedlo k tvrdé hudbě. Hádky rodičů ho přivedly do turbulentního světa heavy metalu, kde odvíjí historii ANTHRAX od počátků po současnost. Dozvíte se o vzniku klasik jako „Spreading the Disease“ a „Among the Living“. Scott vzpomíná na trýznivé i zábavné příběhy z turné, včetně uniknutí z vězení v Londýně s Cliffem Burtonem. Kromě hudebních zážitků rozebírá i své osobní boje, přiznává slabosti a chyby na cestě k dospělému životu. Manželství se zpěvačkou Pearl Aday a narození syna mu přineslo vnitřní klid.
