Bringing Metal to the Children is a handbook to all things Heavy Metal from guitar god Zakk Wylde, of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society fame.

This “Complete Berzerker’s Guide to World Tour Domination” provides tips and tests for the True Rocker—as wild man Zakk Wylde and writer Erik Hendrikx invite all who dare onto the tour bus for brain-bursting tales of glory, debauchery, and general mayhem in the dangerous metal universe.

From stories of backstage insanity, including intense band infighting, family arguments, and management disagreements to drunken and naked onstage antics, Wylde shares his experiences of musicianship and survival. His hilarious escapades collide with tongue-in-cheek industry advice to provide full access to the head-banging, guitar-slinging Heavy Metal lifestyle that turns the amp up to 11 on sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.
