Main Lines, Blood Feasts, and Bad Taste: A Lester Bangs Reader

Before his untimely death in 1982, Lester Bangs was inarguably the most influential critic of rock and roll. Writing in hyper-intelligent Benzedrine prose that calls to mind Jack Kerouac and Hunter S.

[ 4.0 stars ] "It would be difficult to argue that Lester Bangs is not the most influential (and for that matter the greatest) rock critic of all time. From the 1960s until his death in 1982 Bangs covered rock and all other types of music for numerous magazines, including the Creem, Rolling Stone and Village Voice.As a writer, Bangs delivers his words honestly and clearly from the bottom of his heart. His influ ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "Indeed while this book is essential reading for any rock fanatic it is somehow less interesting than the first tome (Psychotic reactions...). While he was able to write some really brilliant pieces (The Miles one) some of the other articles sometimes border on juvenilia (the one on Black Sabbath) and while they all have some good moments overall it does the book a great disservice since it does no ..."

[ 2.0 stars ] "Having read and thoroughly enjoyed "Psychotic Reactions and Carbeurator Dung", it seemed logical that a writer as smart, funny, and insightful as Lester Bangs would certainly have another book's-worth of great stuff in him, and I assumed that this collection would be it. Unfortunately, no. To be sure, there are some great pieces in here, like his lengthy recap of his trip to Jamaica to check ..." Courtesy by Amazon
