Tread carefully for here lie: Ozzy Osbourne, Axl Rose, Cliff Burton, Dave Mustaine, Varg Vikernes, Euronymous and Dead of Mayhem, Peter Steele, Trent Reznor, Paul Gray, Corey Taylor, Marilyn Manson, Dimebag Darrell, Erik Danielsson, Nikki Sixx, Slash, Lemmy Kilmister, Gar Samuelson, John Bonham, Bon Scott, and Layne Staley. Between genius and madness, this world and the next, there's nothing but the faintest flicker of a pulse and the cemetery gates - as these twisted metal icons know all too well. Purveyors of the sickest, slickest sounds on the planet, they've more demons between them than Dante's Inferno. Whatever their deadly sin - be it lust, greed or an act so heinous it warrants a category all its own - these prodigiously talented axmen have all come dangerously close to the edge. Tragically, not all of them have returned. Uncovering the crazed antics of each, See You at the Cemetery Gates is the ultimate tribute to the stoical survivors who dragged themselves back from the abyss - as well as the sainted icons who weren't so lucky. Gifted with mind-blowing musical prowess, the likes of Dio and Dimebag may be gone. But this book - a riotous epitaph to men who've lived every day as if it was their last - ensures they'll never be forgotten.
