OZZY, DIO, BON SCOTT, LEMMY, SLASH, DIMEBAG Featured In 'Cemetary Gates' Book

June 7, 2013

Set for release this month via Plexus Publishing is the book "Cemetary Gates: Saints & Survivors Of The Heavy-Metal Scene" by Mick O'Shea.

A description of the illustrated paperback reads as follows: "Between genius and madness, this world and the next, there's nothing but the faintest flicker of a pulse and the cemetery gates.

"Packed with as many egos as one book can hold, 'Cemetery Gates' is the read that takes you inside the minds of the most twisted icons of heavy metal."

Featured artists:

* Ronnie James Dio (DIO, BLACK SABBATH, HEAVEN & HELL, RAINBOW)
* Bon Scott (AC/DC)
* John Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN)
* Peter Steele (TYPE O NEGATIVE, CARNIVORE)
* Cliff Burton (METALLICA)
* "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (PANTERA)
* Paul Gray (SLIPKNOT)
* Layne Staley (ALICE IN CHAINS)
* Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (AVENGED SEVENFOLD)
* Lemmy Kilmister (MOTÖRHEAD)
* Ozzy Osbourne (BLACK SABBATH)
* Nikki Sixx (MÖTLEY CRÜE)
* Dave Mustaine (MEGADETH)
* Axl Rose (GUNS N' ROSES)
* Trent Reznor (NINE INCH NAILS)
* Slash (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER)

Whatever their deadly sin — be it lust, greed, abuse of winged creatures or murder most foul — these prodigiously talented hellraisers have all come dangerously close to the edge. Tragically, not all of them have returned. Between tragic saint and raucous survivor, the line remains perilously thin.

"People ask me how I'm still alive and I don't know what to say", Ozzy once shrugged. "Cemetery Gates" provides the heaviest answer you'll find this side of heaven.
