According to the author's own experience - wherever you are - teenagers want rock, this book is the fun memories of Chuck Klosterman about the formation of a shameless metalhead in Windmere, North Dakota (population: 498 people). With a voice reminiscent of Ace Freilley's guitar, Klosterman makes his way through the history of the heur group, beginning with a fateful day in 1983, when his older brother brought home the "Shout At The Devil" record of the Motley Crue band. The fifth-grader Chuck was not ready for rock - his haircut was too short, and his yard was too quiet - but still he found a way to shake his little fluffy head. Before the journey to the world of rock was over, he managed to dance a slow dance under Poison, fall asleep with an innocent sleep under satanic pentagrams, feel the attraction to Lita Ford, and seriously become interested in Guns'N'Roses. Come on, imbued with this noise. About the author: Chuck Klosterman of The New York Times is the author of seven best-selling books, including "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs", "Eating the Dinosaur" (Eating the Dinosaur ), "Killing Yourself to Live" (Killing yourself to survive) and "The Visible Man" (Visible person).
