'Pioneers of LA Hard Rock & Metal' is THE history lesson on LA Metal and how it reset the course for millions of metal heads worldwide! You'd have to have been there to believe it...but it's all true. This is every headbangers fantasy!" - David Ellefson, Megadeth
"A very honest look about the early heyday of the Los Angeles Music scene as told by those that lived it, played it and left an impressionable mark forever. This was an era when bands were hungry, clubs were plentiful and getting signed to a major label actually meant something" - DJ Will (KNAC.com, That Metal Show).
