Heavy Duty - K. K. Downing - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

''A must for fans and rock buffs'' The Sun ''Fascinating read'' Powerplay Judas Priest formed in Birmingham in 1969. With its distinctive twin-guitar sound, studs-and-leather image, and international sales of over 50 million records, Judas Priest became the archetypal heavy metal band in the 1980s. Iconic tracks like ''Breaking the Law'', ''Living after Midnight'', and ''You''ve Got Another Thing Coming'' helped the band achieve extraordinary success, but no one from the band has stepped out to tell their or the band''s story until now.As the band approaches its golden anniversary, fans will at last be able to delve backstage into the decades of shocking, hilarious, and haunting stories that surround the heavy metal institution. In Heavy Duty , guitarist K.K. Downing discusses the complex personality conflicts, the business screw-ups, the acrimonious relationship with fellow heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well as how Judas Priest found itself at the epicentre of a storm of parental outrage that targeted heavy metal in the ''80s. He also describes his role in cementing the band''s trademark black leather and studs image that would not only become synonymous with the entire genre, but would also give singer Rob Halford a viable outlet by which to express his sexuality. Lastly, he recounts the life-changing moment when he looked at his bandmates on stage during a 2009 concert and thought, ''This is the last show''. Whatever the topic, whoever''s involved, K.K. doesn''t hold back.From the band at the very beginning until his retirement in 2011 (and even still as a member of the band''s board of directors), Downing has seen it all and is now finally at a place in his life where he can also let it all go. Even if you''re a lifelong fan, if you think you know the full story of Judas Priest, well, you''ve got another thing coming.

The train derailment at Hatfield in October 2000, which cost four lives, prompted a national rethink about the state of Britain’s railways. The crash has been followed by months of near-paralysis on the system, and has put privatization under the spotlight as never before.Off the Rails looks at the disastrous consequences of private ownership for Britain’s railway network and makes the case for the restoration of the system to public control. It traces the history of the privatization process from think-tanks to legislation, and how British Rail came to be sold off in a hurry in one hundred different pieces by the Major government, despite public hostility. It looks at the complex structure of the privately-owned rail industry and identifies the main players, showing how they have failed to work in the public interest. It explains the conflicting roles of the various regulators, and adds up money made for shareholders at the taxpayers’ expense in an industry which combines public subsidy with private profit.Written by an author deeply involved in the industry, Off the Rails draws extensively on the testimony of those who work on the railways—the train drivers, maintenance workers, signalers, station staff and passengers’ representatives. The Hatfield crash was the final straw for the public reputation of the fragmented railway. The run-up to the disaster and the chaos afterward are examined in detail, as are the limitations of the political response from New Labour. Off the Rails is also a call for change. The book looks at how public ownership could be reintroduced and considers other alternatives for renewing the railways. It also draws on experience in other parts of the world to make the case that only the restoration of the railways as a public service can guarantee the safe and reliable service which passengers expect.
