I emailed Martin about this last week, and he messaged right back explaining the
book will be available in about six weeks.
His web guy accidentally rushed the release on his page, but you can pre-order.
I'm a huge fan of Martin and have many, many books by him from over the years.
His writing is so readable & he interviews and researches everyone.
His book on Ted Nugent blew my mind, because he got everyone who was involved
in Ted's career (Charlie Huhn, Cliff Davies, Derek St. Homes), plus Ted himself, to
really go deep and give their own perspectives on what took place.
His recent book on Accept was also great, also The Birth of Thrash, where he get's
everyone from every band, to weigh in on what was happening.
He traces a time line, and then takes you through everything year by year.
And the new Sabotage! Sabbath biography, is just phenomenal stuff.
Martin is from Canada and used to write for Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles.
He writes for many magazines, even Vintage Guitar.
And he's interviewed pretty much everyone from every facet of Hard Rock/Metal.
I've emailed him several times since Winter, and the guy writes back almost instantly.
He's mailed me many books from Canada, and he ships fast!

He's also friends with Metal Historian Sam Dunn, and he's frequently reviewing albums on
Sam's metal youtube channel.
He just get's it.
He understands those special albums, others over look: Stained Class, Sabotage, WACF, Powerage, etc.
He often dissects albums track by track, and it's so enjoyable.

Who thinks Randy was a Saint? I believe he fucked Sharon. Why? She wasn't Mrs Osbourne then. She was the manager. I'd fuck the manager too if she was halfway decent. You fuck who's convenient. Much...
