Guitar World Presents Nirvana and the Grunge Revolution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Need I mention how bad this book is? Just look at the ranking. If you like grunge and what to read a cool story...buy Layne's bio, "LAYNE STALEY: ANGRY CHAIR" and learn some valuable, interesting things. Please don't ever tell anyone you bought this Nirvana, Grunge book...that would be an embarassment.

Nirvana: Unplugged in New York Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As the album is fantastic to begin with, this book just adds to the enjoyment. Solid Nirvana tunes in a mellow set, the songs are great for the amateur guitarist, not difficult at all, and fun to play when you bring the friends over. The book makes it easy to emulate the man and his band.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am one of the musicians that is featured in this book. I am proud to be a part of it. Greg has captured the essence of what it was like in Seattle, during those early and formative years, before everything caught fire. This book doesn't have a boring moment in it. It's told by the people who lived through this, in their own words. If you're a fan of Seattle music from the 90's, then this is a must read. Yianni Bacolas - [...].

The Story of Pearl Jam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"The story of Pearl Jam" by Brad Morrel, is less a reading book than a photo album. The "history" contained within appears to be just a summary of the highlights in the actual history of PJ up to the release of "No Code." ... I think that most of the info here are cliffnotes from other more insightful and developed books like "None to Fragile" or "Five Against One."
But on the other hand, the pictures contained within are colour, bigger than a letter sized paper, and spread out through 64 pages mostly from the pre-ten, ten, vs, and pre-vitalogy era.
If you are a fan, and do not like reading long books, this is an ideal book for you.
If you are a fan, and dont want text, but want some great early PJ pics, this is a good book for you. And if you want text, get one of the books i mentioned above.
In my case, i own this book for the pictures and "none too fragile" for the text. This suits me well.

Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder: None Too Fragile Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan so I read this book a while ago hoping for some insight into the band. I was sadly dissappointed. While the book has lots of nice photographs, it's hardly worth reading. This book is full of misquotes and distorted facts. If you really like Pearl Jam I suggest you read the book "Five Against One" instead. It's a lot longer but well worth your time.
