Résumé
From prolific metal guitarist and songwriter for Exodus (and formerly Slayer) Gary Holt comes a deeply personal memoir of his "destruction-laden" life, along with a firsthand account of the genesis of the Thrash Metal scene, from its origins in the Bay Area to its world domination. As the guitarist and primary songwriter of Exodus and one of the originators of heavy metal, Gary Holt watched as his peers-Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax-soared to superstardom.
As his fellow artists amassed millions of fans and record sales, Exodus' albums received critical recognition and inspired generations of listeners-but struggled to reach the same heights of success, as the band was plagued by years of bad management, bad luck, and bad decisions. A Fabulous Disaster follows our narrator through the highest of highs and lowest of lows as he and his bandmates juggle major label contracts, MTV-sponsored tours and festivals, growing addictions to alcohol and meth, and the loss of key founding members.
Ultimately, after the tragic death of one of his closest friends and former bandmates-Holt decides to save himself. Newly sober and determined to resurrect his career, he commits himself to Exodus, pushing the band to new heights. An "unadulterated odyssey through decades of insanity, " punctuated by Holt's unique insight and knack for storytelling, A Fabulous Disaster is a thrill ride from start to finish.
His story proves that redemption-even from the pits of rock 'n' roll excess-is always possible.
