I'm the Man is the fast-paced, humorous, and revealing memoir from the man who co-founded Anthrax, the band that proved to the masses that brutality and fun didn't have to be mutually exclusive. Through various lineup shifts, label snafus, rock 'n' roll mayhem, and unforeseen circumstances galore, Scott Ian has approached life and music with a smile, viewing the band with deadly seriousness while recognizing the ridiculousness of the entertainment industry. Always performing with abundant energy that revealed his passion for his craft, Ian has never let the gravity of being a rock star go to his shaven, goateed head. Ian tells his life story with a clear-eyed honesty that spares no one, least of all himself, starting with his upbringing as a nerdy Jewish boy in Queens and evolving through his first musical epiphany when he saw KISS live on television and realized what he wanted to do with his life. He chronicles his adolescence growing up in a dysfunctional home where the records blasting on his stereo failed to drown out the sound of his parents shouting at one another. He sets down the details of his fateful escape into the turbulent world of heavy metal. And of course he lays bare the complete history of Anthrax -- from the band's formation to their present-day reinvigoration -- as they wrote and recorded thrash classics like Spreading the Disease, Among the Living, and the top-twenty-charting State of Euphoria. Along the way, Ian recounts harrowing, hysterical tales from his long tour of duty in the world of hard rock. He witnesses the rise of Metallica, for which he had a front row seat. He parties with the late Dimebag Darrell while touring with Pantera and gets wild with Black Label Society frontman and longtime Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde. He escapes detection while interviewing Ozzy for "The Rock Show" while dressed as Gene Simmons and avoids arrest after getting detained on suspicion of drugs while riding the tube in England with the late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton. In addition, I'm the Man addresses the trials and tribulations of Ian's life and loves. He admits his foibles and reveals the mistakes made along the way to becoming a fully-functioning adult. He celebrates finally finding peace and a true sense of family with his wife, singer/songwriter Pearl Aday, and examines how his world changed after the birth of their first son.I'm the Man is a blistering hard rock memoir, one that is astonishing in its candor and deftly told by the man who's kept the institution of Anthrax alive for more than thirty years.

I can't say I am a huge Anthrax fan, but I did own a few of their *tapes* back in the day when I was a kid and I really dug their sound and energy. But anyway, here's the review: While it's full of expletives and graphic language (as of course you'd expected), it's actually one of the more well-written and well put together metal autobiographies I've read. (I don't think there was a ghost writer either, so hat's off to him for that.)It's an entertaining read, and although it drags on a little at the end, Ian dishes enough not only on the band but other bands of the era, management, record labels, etc to keep it moving. I can see how Ian got his reputation for being a jerk, whether from his cut-throat approach to personnel changes in the band to his marriages, etc. But it does seem like he has mellowed in his middle age and has seen the error of at least some of his ways.So why read this book? Ian provides another perspective on several important events in the history of thrash, including the Music Building and the Metallica-Mustaine breakup (basically that Mustaine was a mean drunk but that shouldn't have gotten him fired, and that Lars and James were scared of him, which is probably true), the tragic death of Cliff Burton while Antrhax was on tour with Metallica in Europe, to the impact of the 90's alternative wave on metal, comeback attempts, and the band's muddled efforts to stick together and stay relevant. He talks about the music industry and how difficult it was (and still is) to make a living in a band, even a successful band like Anthrax. He even includes a comic strip-style account of his first encounter with Lemmy, which was a funny and unexpected bonus. I was surprised to learn that although Ian is the main rhythm guitar player in the band, he didn't write much of the music in the early days. Overall I'd say it's worth the read, even if it's a bit long and if Ian himself doesn't seem like he was always the nicest guy.
