Summary

Entertaining, crazy, and hilarious stories from Scott Ian of Anthrax

Scott Ian, famous for cofounding legendary thrash metal band Anthrax and only slightly less so for his iconic beard, has done and seen a lot in his decades of touring. Those of you who have heard Scott's memoir I'm the Man may know the history of the band, but Access All Areas divulges all the zany, bizarre, funny, and captivating tales of what went on when the band wasn't busy crafting chart-topping albums.

In his more than 30 years immersed in the hard rock scene, Scott has witnessed haunting acts of depravity backstage, punched a legendary musician, been a bouncer at an exclusive night club, guest-starred with Anthrax on Married with Children, invaded a fellow rock star's home, played poker professionally, gone on a non-date with a certain material girl, appeared on The Walking Dead, and much more.

Access All Areas allows its listeners to do just that. With humor, candor, hindsight, and writing chops that would make Stephen King jealous (nope, not even on Bizarro world), Scott Ian takes his fans along for the ride at all the parties, hot spots, and behind-the-scenes shenanigans they will never hear about from anyone else. And none of it would have happened without a bit of divine inspiration from KISS. (No, seriously. Listen to chapter two.) Best of all, Scott seemingly lacks the ability to be embarrassed, making Access All Areas howlingly funny, self-deprecating, and every bit as brash and brazen as one would expect from one of the original architects of speed metal.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

a great book ,but

I'd have given this the full five stars, but it's not quite up there with I am the man, read in Scott's usual full throttle New York patter it's still a great read, but without the chronological progression of his first book it sometimes left me frantically trying to place the events in time. But hey maybe that's just me.

Awesome

Scott draws you in with his personality and enthusiasm, and this book was a great listen. In addition, while I’ve been an Anthrax fan since the 80s and knew who Scott was, I think I’d still say that regardless, since his charisma is undeniable.

Pretty fun and interesting

I learned a lot about a Scott from this book. There’s some fun and interesting tales. Scott narrating the book makes it all the more special and enjoyable as his personality and passion come across with every word. I’m now going to listen to his first book I’m The Man, which I wish I’d bought sooner. If you’re an Anthrax fan, a Scott Ian fan or just a rock/metal lover, you’ll enjoy this book for sure.

Very entertaining, Scott's a genuine story teller

Really enjoyed this, all but the poker stories, he went over the top with the poker. But otherwise, cool stories.
Towards the end I was blown away by the Dimebag story, hilarious and very touching. So sad that he's not with us anymore.
Scott's an awesome story teller and can really deliver like a pro.

Funny and great stories

A very funny collection of stories by Scott Ian.
Not as informative as I'm the man but still wickedly funny as told by the man himself
