Garry Bushell was there when the new era of British Heavy Metal kicked off and his essays from the front line convey the excitement and fervour with the arrival of bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Rainbow, Saxon and Def Leopard. This is the first time these reports have been published in book form.

Garry Bushell was born and raised in South East London. He started his career on the rock weekly Sounds, interviewing everyone from The Clash and the Steel Pulse to Blondie, U2, the Specials and Iron Maiden. The son of a fireman and a bank secretary, he is best known for his award-winning Bushell On The Box TV column. Garry managed punk bands the Cockney Rejects, The Blood and Maninblack; his own group the Gonads have been going for 42years without any noticeable success, and his Rancid Sounds punk and Ska show appears regularly on 2nd City Radio. He has five children and four grandchildren and lives in Kent.
