Heavy Metal Fun Time Activity Book [Paperback]

Aye Jay (Author), Andrew W. K. (Foreword)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2007

With all the fun of a heavy metal parking lot without the beer stains and moshing, this activity book for kids and adults is an entirely new take on the coloring book genre. Headbangers get the chance to color legends like Metallica, Danzig, and Pantera; help get Spinal Tap through a backstage maze; complete the Black Metal word scramble and hair metal crossword; and solve heavy metal Sudoku. The cover features lettering by text master Aaron Horkey and design by graphic icon Brent Rollins, and will be appreciated by anyone who loves to rock.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"At last, an activity [book] for Metal Heads. From Slipknot to Spinal Tap, the brain teasers are all there. Use some magic and the answers are sure to come."  —Ronnie James Dio, former front man, Black Sabbath and Rainbow

"Who says you can only use a good gimmick once? Not Aye Jay Morano. The Californian artist's previous project, the self-explanatory Gangsta Rap Coloring Book, was a cult Hollywood hit, and gathered a clutch of celebrity endorsements."  —The Guardian

"Never has 'fun time' been so charged with such raw, terror-fueled rock power."  —Utne.com

"The perfect gift for the metal head who has everything"  —Pensacola Independent News

"Why would you not want this?"  —Alternative Press, altpress.com

"A fun, knowing tribute that takes its metal trivia seriously and still affectionately goofs on it."  —Bust

"You’ll have a stupid grin on your face."  —Revolver

"All the darkness and anger that you've come to know and love and are ready to pass on."  —Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine Online

I bought this book as a present for my husband this past Christmas. I thought that it would be good for a few laughs (and it was), but it's actually even funnier than I expected. I imagined it to be a coloring book with pictures of metal bands and pentagrams, but it's so much more than that! Imagine if Judas Priest created an issue of Highlights Magazine. There are word searches, connect the dots, mazes and even sudoku - all with a heavy metal theme. It's amazing! Bring it with you to your next dentist appointment to pass the time in the waiting room.

I'm not into heavy metal, but my son bought this as a Christmas present for a friend, so when it arrived, I took a look at it. What a great book! I loved it! It made me laugh out loud, and you have to think about some of the jokes. It is a perfect gift for the heavy metal fan in your life!
