We’ve got those answers for you in The Great Book of Rock Trivia! This book contains hundreds of riveting facts about your favorite rock songs.

Do you want to know how your favorite group got together and who is really the brains behind the band? Whether you’re interested in what your favorite musicians like to do in their spare time, where they get the ideas for their music, or which artist had an exorcism in his home, you’re in for a treat. This book will satisfy your curiosity and help you impress your friends with your rock and roll knowledge.

As easy to follow as a good drummer, this book will take you through the early years of rock and its development through the hippie era, the synthesizer-filled '80s, and the grunge age.

I love this book!

This book is fun and helpful. Full of significant trivias about the awesome world of Rock, this book is indeed a "great book". The lives of the artistes, the significant events, hidden meanings behind cool slangs, these are some of the stuff this book offers.
I also enjoyed the narration, and the flow of information throughout the book. This is a truly useful book for die-hard rock fans, and aspiring ones.

A must have for Rock-heads!

This is a great book. It refreshed my knowledge about the rock community, the musicians, and great events. For me, listening to the music is not just enough, the details behind the creation and delivery of the song makes it more meaningful. Now my favourite songs are much more delightful.
Also, it makes for good sport with my rock-inclined pals.
Cheers.
