Italian Tool Biography

Mattia emailed me today with a link to another unauthorized Tool biography, this time in Italian.  Google translate says:

It ‘finally available biography of the Italian edition of TOOLS of Joel McIver.
This quartet of incredible musicians – Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor Adam Jones – has emerged from the underground scene in Los Angeles in 1990, with friends Rage Against The Machine, seizing the concept of music hard and completely redefined.
In the context of culture, entertainment rewards a more simple and standardized, the level of complexity and depth reached by their music makes their steel a miracle happened: the refined recipe that brought them to glory, and that has did win three Grammy Awards and many gold and platinum, has characterized one of the most unusual artistic careers in rock history.
Joel McIver, author affermatissimo now rock and metal, this book does not overlook any detail, exploring not only the musical side, always uncompromising, but also the disturbing image, built on mythological symbols and arcane theories, making the text absolutely must for all fans.

Anyone with a better translation can feel free to comment below!

For an unauthorized bio I thought “Tool: Unleashed” was pretty decent. There’s lots of info on there that any Tool fan would know, but none the less I couldn’t put the book down. I’m happy it’s part of my collection! We need more people writing about them. 😉

I’m translating right now the same book in French.
But I wish mine was translated in other languages too.

Even if I’m not familiar with, I think I’m going to contact some people by myself in order to try and get that.
The book “Unleashed” is not bad, but for what I’ve read until now, it’s mainly only chronologic with lots of interviews transcription.

Of course I did. 😉
So if anyone get any hint, I’m looking for editors that may be interested to publish a book about Tool from French to English (or others).
