Entertaining and hilarious stories from Scott Ian of Anthrax reveal the wild experiences of his decades on tour. Known for cofounding the legendary thrash metal band and his iconic beard, Scott shares zany and captivating tales that go beyond the band's music. In over thirty years in the hard rock scene, he has witnessed outrageous backstage antics, punched a legendary musician, worked as a bouncer at an exclusive nightclub, guest-starred on Married with Children, invaded a fellow rock star's home, played poker professionally, and even had a non-date with a certain material girl. Scott's humor, candor, and exceptional writing skills invite readers into the parties and behind-the-scenes moments that are rarely shared. His stories are infused with a touch of divine inspiration from KISS, which he discusses in chapter two. With a remarkable lack of embarrassment, Scott delivers a collection that is howlingly funny, self-deprecating, and as bold as one would expect from a pioneer of speed metal. Access All Areas offers fans an unfiltered glimpse into the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, filled with unforgettable escapades and outrageous encounters.
