Book Description
Get a backstage pass and see Judas Priest like you’ve never seen them before in this electrifying memoir by the band’s cofounder and former lead guitarist. Judas Priest formed in the industrial city of Birmingham, England, in 1969. With its distinctive twin-guitar sound, studs-and-leather image, and international sales of over 50 million records, Judas Priest became the archetypal heavy metal band in the 1980s. Iconic tracks like "Breaking the Law," "Living after Midnight," and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" helped the band achieve extraordinary success, but no one from the band has stepped out to tell their or the band's story until now. As the band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. In Heavy Duty, guitarist K.K. Downing discusses the complex personality conflicts, the business screw-ups, the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well as how Judas Priest found itself at the epicenter of a storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the '80s. He also describes his role in cementing the band's trademark black leather and studs image that would not only become synonymous with the entire genre, but would also give singer Rob Halford a viable outlet by which to express his sexuality. Lastly, he recounts the life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage during a 2009 concert and thought, "This is the last show." Whatever the topic, whoever's involved, K.K. doesn't hold back.

Judas Kiss
Author: J.T. Ellison
Publisher: MIRA
ISBN: 0369718607
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
It was a murder made for TV: a trail of tiny bloody footprints. An innocent toddler playing beside her mother's body. Stay tuned for the next riveting thriller in the Taylor Jackson series by New York Times bestselling author J.T. Ellison. Cameras and questions don't usually faze Nashville homicide lieutenant Taylor Jackson, but when pregnant Corinne Wolff is brutally murdered in her own home, the media frenzy surrounding the case is particularly nasty. When the seemingly model mommy is linked to an amateur porn website with underage actresses and unwitting players, the sharks begin to circle. The shock is magnified when an old adversary uses the sexy secret footage to implicate Taylor in a murder—an accusation that threatens her career, her reputation and her relationship. Both cases hinge on the evidence—real or manufactured—of crimes that go beyond passion, into the realm of obsessive vengeance and shocking betrayal. Just what the networks love. Previously Published. Read the Taylor Jackson Series by J.T. Ellison: Book 1: All the Pretty Girls Book 2: 14 Book 3: Judas Kiss Book 4: The Cold Room Book 5: The Immortals Book 6: So Close the Hand of Death Book 7: Where All the Dead Lie

Through My Head
Author: Bradley M. Fralick

Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
How would you react if you went to sleep one night, a young dentist beginning to build a successful practice to support your wife and two kids, and woke up fuzzily seven months later to find that you were a different person. You had a cast on your important right hand, not because it was broken, but because your brain wouldnt or couldnt send the signals to relax the muscles, and your hand tried to curl into a fist. Your right foot was pretty weak because your Achilles tendon had been cut and stretched, so that your foot wouldnt curl up like your hand. You had lost your sense of balance, and your mind wouldnt allow you to speak without repeating your words so fast that your tongue couldnt keep up, and people could no longer understand you without straining. You had difficulty making decisions, and you couldnt remember any decisions that you made. To make things worse, you saw two or three, or sometimes more images, and your brain wouldnt integrate them into one. Brad Fralick woke up in this way in 1994. His practice had been sold, and his life was forever changed. This book is a record of his remarkable journey toward thinking clearly again. It might be called a book of short essays. It is actually a chronology of his thoughts. As Brad recovered, he initially had to write his thoughts down, because his short term memory was so bad that he couldnt sustain a thought train, and he couldnt communicate verbally. He couldnt straighten his right hand, and couldnt control his left hand well enough to write with pen or pencil, so he began to learn to type on a keyboard with one finger of his left hand. We encouraged him to write everything that went through his head, and he initially found it easier to write about a fictional character going through his own life experiences. Later, he began writing his views of politics, religion, and just about any aspect of life. Writing was important to Brads recovery, but computer games have been even more instrumental. Contemporary research suggests that mental activities with many arbitrary, simple rules may help recovery of cognitive function. Have you ever heard of a more enlightened description of computer games? Hoping that a game or two would help put other broken brains back together, we set up a web site to present comments on games as a sort of mental gymnasium, or biofeedback treatment thats fun. Brad wrote a few game reviews, and then began to write about a fictional character Dr. Sgt. Milko, a dentist who was an enlisted man in the Army. As the fictional stories were written, Brad published them on this web site in chronological order, with most recent stories at the top of his table of contents. These stories are collected in the second portion of this book "THE MILKO STORIES". They are published pretty much in reverse chronological order, newest stories first. Some make you laugh, some make you cry, and some just make you think. They each reveal a new aspect of the recovery of his brain. Surprisingly, many of the stories are of adventures that actually took place years ago as Brad was growing up. Brads long term memory was not impaired by his brain injury. Neither was his imagination. Brad eventually began to publish his thoughts about contemporary life as a Traumatic Brain Injury survivor. He added a new section to his web site to publish these comments. The subject of his attention ranges from the wild fires that almost burned the Los Alamos national laboratory to his relationship with his son...

Art of the Cut
Author: Steve Hullfish
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 104003649X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
This is the second volume of the widely acclaimed Art of the Cut book published in 2017. This follow-up text expands on its predecessor with wisdom from more than 360 interviews with the world’s best editors (including nearly every Oscar winner from the last 30 years). Because editing is a highly subjective art form, and one that is critical to the success of motion picture storytelling, it requires side-by-side comparisons of the many techniques and solutions used by a wide range of editors from around the world. That is why this book compares and contrasts methodologies from a wide array of diverse voices and organizes that information so that it is easily digested and understood. There is no one way to approach editorial problems, so this book allows readers to see multiple solutions from multiple editors. The interviews contained within are carefully curated into topics that are most important to film editors and those who aspire to become film editors. The questions asked, and the organization of the book, are not merely an academic or theoretical view of the art of editing but rather the practical advice and methodologies of actual working film and TV editors, bringing benefits to both students and professional readers. The book is supplemented by a collection of downloadable online exclusive chapters, which cover additional topics ranging from Choosing the Project to VFX. In addition to the supplementary chapters, access to the full-color, full-resolution images printed in the book—and other exclusive images—is included.
