Book Reviews of The Rough Guide to Heavy Metal (Rough Guide Reference)
Book Review: Awesome book but a few strange selections
Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome book, great pictures, awesome bands, but: Why is god's name are Nivana and Pearl Jam and Limp bizket in this book!!?!?!? they are not heavy metal and never will be anything close to it, they are the bane of metal....thus they shouldn't be in a "Guide To Heavy Metal" book. Other than that issue great book for any metal fan, ignore peral jam, limp bizkit, and Nirvana sections as they have nothing to do with metal.
PS: Nirvana suck.....LOL
