    really only for niche audience and super-fans only.

Unless NWOBHM is literally all you breathe, eat and sustain you, unless the particular initial period of this particular movement of this particular kind of music is all that matters to you, you do not need this book.Chapters are basically back-to-back quotes from interviews of people that were part of the movement (with some huge exceptions : Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson above all). So it basically goes from “yes it all began with that one gig in 1979” and the next guy saying “that one gig in 1979 was where it all began” and then another guy saying “1979 was the year where it all began, with that gig at that one place”.  Repeat this for 10x people over 5-6 pages and you got a chapter.VERY boring for anyone who is not super dedicated to this.

    Reminiscences from those who were there when and after the dam burst
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2022*

I was 16 going on 17 at the start of the NWOBHM and remember reading the Geoff Barton penned and Alan Lewis headlined article that christened the NWOBHM.This is like those Channel 5 talking head shows where sundry celebs recount their experience of first eating a Wispa or riding a Space Hopper and is all the better for it, as you get first hand accounts from members of a number of  NWOBHM bands - Saxon, Diamond Head, Tygers, Venom, Girlschool, Def Leppard (who have thought that would happen?), Raven, Angel Witch, Witchfynde, Handsome Beasts, Witchfinder General, Samson, as well as some of the 'old guard' who were still relevant and important - e.g. the chapter on the first (and vying against 1984, the best) Monsters of Rock.No it doesnt splinter off into the multitude of bands who were around (a quick look at Malc Macmillan's Encyclopedia of NWOBHM or Martin Popoff's Smokin Valves sows how many of those there were/are) but  concentrates on most of the key players, even getting Joe Elliot and Rick Savage to provide reminiscences where they have more often than not totally distanced themselves from the NWOBHM, giving us an idea of why they did that and why Def Leppard are probably mainly responsible for the decline of the NWOBHM.Unfortunately, as they didnt want to be involved, the only references to Iron Maiden are from ex members Paul Dianno and Dennis Stratton, DJ Neal kay and Dave Lights who did their lights  (natch).I never liked and still dont like Venom, however their chapter was very illuminating.It was also interesting to hear about what his collegaues thought of Geoff Barton and their opinion of his likes and dislikes, however unfortunately Barton didnt get involved.The fact checks and corrections are fun to see, although you can sort of forgive some of them due to the time and everything else that has passed since.I also liked the way Michael Hann wrote in the vernacular of the interviewee - you can just feel Steve Dawson's Yorkshire twang.
