I feel like people in reviews have been a little harsh on this book. Yeah, I could go to a show and see some of the same crowd that's pictured in this book. But I am not going to see every sweet detail like the Black Hills Gold Jewelry and the awful fake nails and the hideous tattoos. It makes me glad that the tattoos I started getting 15 years ago aren't as bad as they could be. I can flip through this book and stare. I'm not going to trail someone at a show and do that. And I can show my friends the really awesome pictures that no verbal discription could do justice. But the coolest thing is that I feel connected to these people (I just have better hair and fashion sense and....). I mean, we go to the same shows. I just won't make any photo books for looking fabulously hessian. I recommend this book. If you're a butt rocker at heart, you've got to love it.

This is a classic case of a picture is worth a thousand words. Each person you see has a story that you come up with in your own mind. My particular favorite is the guy with the tee shirt that says, "Chicks dig scrawny white guys." It's also impressive to think that may of the ladies spent lots of time to make themselves look the way they appear in the book. Not so much for the guys. Some ink, torn up jeans, Marlboro Reds and a torn concert tee and you're ready to rock.

This is a book full of mullet wearing cleavage popping wanna be's. It is like Heavy Metal Parking Lot without the humorous commentary from the fans and thier self parody.

This book was a total waste of money. Unless you were in this book or know somebody in this book don't waste your money. Spend your money on a concert ticket and you'll see everything in the book.
