Kim confirms that the band's taste in music crosses borders, adding, "If heavies like us, thats cool. We are not really worried about who likes us as long as we enjoy performing what we do." This is not an artist, management or record company authorised music release, and sound quality may vary.

A must for the collector, fan and music historian.

Title: Gary Barlow: Take That Subtitle: A Rockview Audiobiography Author: Hanna Bauer, Hans Kunsa Narrator: Rockview Format: Original Recording Length: 16 mins Language: English Release date: 9/16/2010 Publisher: Rockview Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Interviews & Panels Publisher's Summary: It was obvious that Take That's Gary Barlow would follow a solo career. "I'd always been a solo artist," says Gary, "and the other members of the band were aware that the band was built around me." When Robbie Williams decided to quit the band, it only hastened the eventual split of the UK's most successful boy band. After that split, many people saw Gary as the new George Michael, but he sees himself more like Elton John - someone who is ultra creative in songwrting. This is not a music release by the artist or record company and sound quality may vary. In this exclusive audiobiography, Gary is honest and focused about his future, revealing about Take That and the split, and his talents as a solo artist and singer songwriter. Fans and collectors will cherish this unique audiobiog. Editorial Reviews: Right after Take That's split in 1996, Hanna Bauer and Hans Kunsa sat down with Gary Barlow to discuss his plans for the future. Barlow talks about the unexpected turns his career has taken and his feelings on going solo. The singer-songwriter is refreshingly candid about the complacency that had set in the band before their break up and about his need for pressure and risk. The background noise in this audiobiography can sometimes be distracting, but Barlow's fans will wish to add this revealing interview to their collection.

Title: Korn: A Rockview Audiobiography Author: Joe Jacks Narrator: Joe Jacks, Pete Bruns Format: Original Recording Length: 54 mins Language: English Release date: 6/22/2010 Publisher: John Brown Rockview Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Interviews & Panels Publisher's Summary: Hardcore rock band Korn formed in 1993 when two bands combined: Sexart and LAPD. Jonathan Davies was lead singer with Sexart, whilst also working as an assistant coroner in the Korn County (California) Coroners Department, and James Schaffer, Reginald Arvizu, Brian Welch, and David Silveria were part of LAPD. Korn's alternative funk - metal sound has positioned the group as one of the most exciting, popular, and provocative bands to emerge during the post-grunge era. This is not an authorised artist, record, or management music release, but an exclusive and unique Korn Audiobiog. Korn's relentless scheduling of tours, opening for artists such as Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne, resulted in their debut album going gold, together with the creation of a loyal fan base. Sure to shock and be controversial, this is a must for the fan and collector. Editorial Reviews: This episode of Joe Jacks and Pete Bruns Rockview Audiobiography focuses on the band Korn (with backwards "R", of course). Jacks intersperses information about Korns history and discography with casual interviews with the musicians themselves. A classic riff from the band plays in the background throughout the audiobook. Recorded by passionate music fans, directed at passionate music fans, and partly narrated by the musicians themselves, this "audiobiography" expands a listeners understanding of a band whose sound is arguably unclassifiable. Whether its music is heavy metal, nu metal, or mainstream rock, Korn will deepen a fan's understanding of its work through this recording.
