CAMION BLANC

Autor: Dave Mustaine

Número de Páginas: 441

Dave Mustaine est le premier à reconnaître que sa vie a été compliquée, et qu’il a connu tous les déboires possibles : une enfance détruite, des parents alcooliques, une éducation religieuse aliénante, une dépendance à toutes les substances imaginables, des revers professionnels violents… Après avoir été viré sans cérémonie de Metallica, il a créé Megadeth dont il est le chanteur-guitariste-compositeur-PDG, et s’est battu sans relâche contre ses démons pour mener à bien sa mission. Il livre ici une confession sans concessions. Considéré comme le père fondateur du thrash metal, il a créé quasiment tout seul ce style qui a fait la gloire de Megadeth et de Metallica. Avec plus de douze albums à son actif – de Killing is my Business… and Business is Good en 1985 au récent Endgame – Mustaine a composé des morceaux qu’on a qualifiés tout à la fois de poignants, introspectifs, ironiques et énervés. Megadeth a été nommé huit fois aux Grammy et a gagné six disques de platine. Mustaine vit à San Diego, en Californie. Joe Layden est un journaliste reconnu et auteur de best-sellers. Il a écrit plus de trente ouvrages, dont The Great Last...

Mark Eglinton nous raconte un destin hors norme. Celui d’un garçon boutonneux que la vie menaçait d’écraser : pauvreté, intégrisme religieux, divorce puis cancers de ses parents et fin tragique de son ami bassiste Cliff Burton… sans oublier l’alcoolisme… Hetfield s’en est sorti grâce à Metallica et ses cent millions d’albums vendus (cinquième place dans l’histoire des ventes). Pour la première fois, des personnalités majeures de l’histoire du groupe ont accepté de parler. Elles nous donnent leur version, de ses débuts jusqu’à son intronisation émouvante au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame en 2009. « Je voudrais remercier infiniment ma plus grande puissance {…} La musique est ma thérapie et j’ai besoin d’en faire. J’aimerais remercier ma femme Francesca pour m’avoir sauvé la vie… bien des fois. Mes enfants, vous trois qui êtes là. Merci pour m’avoir appris à aimer {… } Voilà une preuve vivante qu’il est possible de réaliser son rêve. »

Le livre que vous tenez entre les mains ne consiste pas en un classement des albums incontournables du rock. Pas tout à fait en tout cas. Il ne s'agit pas non plus du récit de la vie d'une célébrité. Gilles Rolland n'a pas composé de tubes, n'a pas réalisé le grand film de toute une génération et n'a pas collaboré avec des pointures. Ce qu'il fait, c'est écrire. Un journaliste furieusement indépendant né dans la froidure de l'Aveyron, élevé à Carmaux, soit l'ex-ville la plus punk de l'ouest de l'Europe comme aiment à le dire celles et ceux qui ont de tout temps oeuvré à sa reconnaissance à travers la musique binaire à crête (ou pas) et qui aujourd'hui, exerce depuis la campagne toulousaine. Ce livre raconte donc son amour pour le rock and roll au sens large, à travers une sélection somme toute personnelle de 100 albums. Et s'il y est donc question de l'importance capitale de Lemmy Kilmister, de l'âge d'or de la musique psychédélique à San Francisco pendant les années 60, de Grace Slick du Jefferson Airplane, de Janis Joplin, de Dave Grohl, de Rammstein, des Guns N' Roses et de Johnny Cash, l'auteur en profite pour disserter au sujet de son obsession...

Né dans un garage miteux de Los Angeles au début des années quatre-vingt, rien ne disposait vraiment Metallica à devenir ce qu’il est aujourd’hui. Enfin, rien à part Lars Ulrich. Batteur à la technique limitée sur les premiers enregistrements du groupe, celui-ci se rattrape aisément grâce à son sens des affaires et à son flair quasi-imparable. Mick Wall retrace ici toute l’aventure du groupe et évite soigneusement de donner le point de vue d’un fan aveuglé par son amour pour le groupe. Il n’oublie aucun des moments difficiles que le groupe a traversés – Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton, le son de …And Justice for All, l’affaire Napster (où Lars avait apparemment perdu son flair), la réinvention du groupe pour l’album Load, le documentaire Some Kind of Monster, l’enregistrement de St. Anger... – tout y passe dans le moindre détail et Wall n’hésite pas à donner un avis personnel tranché à chaque fois que cela lui semble pertinent. Mais il n’oublie pas non plus que Metallica est un géant de la musique moderne, fondateur du thrash metal, genre musical sans concession que le groupe a réussi à transcender pour devenir l’un des derniers...

As they embark upon the fourth decade of the career, Metallica's legacy is as unique as it is remarkable: having sold over 100 million albums their status as the biggest Metal band of all time is indisputable. Following the acclaimed first volume, which chronicled the band's rise to international stardom, the authors now explore the challenges and tensions that ensued for the band. From the phenomenal, breakthrough, success of 1991's 'Black' album to the band's reinvention with the 'Load/Reload' albums; bassist Jason Newsted's shock exit in 2001 and the group's subsequent meltdown, as laid bare in the unvarnished fly-on-the-wall documentary Some Kind Of Monster, to the divisive 'St. Anger' and 'Lulu' sets (recorded with Rick Rubin and in collaboration with Lou Reed respectively), they brilliantly capture this unique bands epic, louder than life saga.

The Sexual Murderer

Autor: Eric Beauregard , Melissa Martineau

Número de Páginas: 284

Sexual homicide continues to be one of the most widely reported and sensationalised forms of murder, attracting fascination from the public and scholars alike. Despite this continued interest, few empirical studies have been conducted on this particular form of sexual crime. The Sexual Murderer provides an analytical review of the state of knowledge on the sexual murderer and his offense, and presents new data that confronts some of the accepted ideas and myths surrounding this type of homicide. The authors draw on original data stemming from both offenders and the police to present an exhaustive and accurate picture of the sexual murderer and his offense, and compare the sex offenders who do kill with sex offenders who, despite being very violent, do not. Each chapter includes a section on the practical implications of the findings, and what the findings mean for professionals working with these cases and for the criminal justice system. This book explores themes including the role of fantasies, paraphilias, and personality; criminal career; context of the crime; journey to murder; modus operandi and crime scene; sex trade workers; avoiding detection; body disposal pathways; and...

Pathways to Sexual Aggression

Autor: Jean Proulx , Eric Beauregard , Patrick Lussier , Benoit Leclerc

Número de Páginas: 399

Most people who read an article in the newspaper about the brutal rape of a woman by a stranger, or the long-standing sexual abuse of a young boy by his step-father have a strong visceral reaction which is a mix of anger, fear, and incomprehension. Apart from these aversive reactions, several questions also come to people’s minds: Was this offender crazy or sexually obsessed? What is the purpose of such outrageous acts? To answer these questions, the authors of this book review theoretical and empirical models of the processes that lead men to sexually assault children or women, whilst also presenting new results and models on this topic. In particular, this book focuses on empirical analyses of the pathways of six types of sexual aggressors, three of which (marital rapists, hebephilic sexual aggressors, and polymorphic sexual aggressors) have never been investigated before. Drawing on a large dataset on the offending processes of sexual aggressors, this book analyzes the influence of personality factors and lifestyle factors on offending pathways and brings together key researchers in the field of sexual aggression. This book will be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, ...

The Bloody Reign of Slayer

Número de Páginas: 360

When the Los Angeles thrash metal band Slayer redefined the parameters of heavy music in 1986 with the horrific Reign In Blood album, few of their fans would have predicted that, nearly a quarter of a century later, their fame would be undimmed and their subject matter still as controversial as ever. Slayer's distinctive musical attack has guaranteed the band's residence at the peak of the extreme metal scene, with the unearthly lead Guitar wails of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King, Dave Lombardo's world-class drums and tom Araya's unique vocals accompanying a fearless lyrical approach. However, Slayer have moved with the times: when their mosh pit anthems about serial killers and Satanism became outmoded, the band addressed fresh outrages such as religious terrorism, genocide and war, always accompanied by artwork that has achieved cult status in its own right. The controversy surrounding them has been endless, with authorities even accusing Slayer of a white supremacist agenda and Nazi sympathies - just one myth explored and refuted in The Bloody Reign Of Slayer, the first ever biography of this unique band. Joel McIver's expert biography traces the band's development, album by...

Sex Crimes and Sex Offenders

Autor: Donna Vandiver , Jeremy Braithwaite

Número de Páginas: 423

Sex Crimes and Sex Offenders: Research and Realities provides an overview of social scientific theory and research on sex crimes and sex offenders. Most other books on the market are focused on a single issue—such as treatment, rape, pedophilia, theory, etc. This book is unique in that it covers the most current theory and research along with individual cases of sex crimes (e.g., Kobe Bryant, Jerry Sandusky, and other case studies), effectively linking theory and research with the realities of sex crimes and sex offenders as well as their victims. Vandiver, Braithwaite, and Stafford are careful to dispel myths and to focus on the heterogeneity of sex crimes and sex offenders, and not on any one issue or population or theory. Instead, they weave a framework using a full range of theoretical concepts and research data to integrate their discussions of crimes, offenders, victims, treatments, and policy implications. The result is a valuable resource for students and early-stage researchers investigating sex crimes or offenders.

Elderly Sexual Abuse

Autor: Eric Beauregard , Julien Chopin

Número de Páginas: 170

This book offers an analytical review of the state of knowledge on elderly sexual abuse and presents new data that will confront some of the accepted ideas and some of the myths associated with this specific form of sexual violence. Sexual violence research has often considered children to be the most vulnerable population. However, another population just as vulnerable to sexual abuse but often overlooked by researchers, is the elderly. Evidence shows that elderly victims are more likely to be attacked by strangers, most likely to be victimized in their own homes, and are usually less capable of resisting a physical attack. Drawing on a large and representative dataset, Elderly Sexual Abuse offers a full and theoretically informed picture of the offenders and their crimes. In addition to a specific chapter devoted to prevention and criminal investigation, the book also connects research to practice, exploring what the findings mean for professionals working with these cases and the criminal justice system. This book is essential reading for all those engaged with sexual violence, victimization, elder abuse, and vulnerable populations.
