Alex Gernandt
Due to the positive feedback and high demand for the first book, a second part is now following with "Wir wollten einfach Krach machen, VOL. 2", the second part of the book follows: Alex Gernandt once again opens up his archive and presents further exclusive interviews with top-class stars who have (re)experienced and shaped rock history over the years.
Who was called the "Golden God"? Which front woman almost ended up in the US Army? Which frontman came close to death several times? And how did Meat Loaf get his name? Which singer owes her global career to a car breakdown? And who was the cab driver who formed a cult band with a teacher? On whose world hits do Led Zeppelin legends play? Who was the "child prodigy" who was already rocking internationally at the age of 18? What was the relationship between Dio and Ozzy really like? And how does Brian May remember the unforgotten Freddie Mercury?
All these questions and more are answered in detail in "Wir wollten einfach KRACH machen - Vol. 2": The greatest legends of rock and metal talk to Alex Gernandt about their personal highs and lows, triumphs and tragedies, including Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Pete Townshend (The Who), Brian May (Queen), James Hetfield (Metallica), Eddie Van Halen, Cher, Joan Jett, Meat Loaf, Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Geoff Tate, Ronnie James Dio, David Coverdale (Whitesnake), Alan Parsons and hit songwriter Desmond Child.
There are also three prominent contemporary witnesses who worked with John Lennon, David Bowie and the Ramones. The book is enriched with many photos and memorabilia such as autographs, caricatures and self-portraits (e.g. of KISS' Paul Stanley).
"Gernandt's interviews" - according to reader feedback - "are never a pure question/answer game, but lively, exciting conversations in which you often have the feeling of being there yourself." Playboy wrote about the first "Krach machen" volume: "This book is rock'n'roll to read", GoodTimes found: "The interviews deliver surprising statements!" and Classic Rock discovered "Many profound conversations!"
