Having obsessed over Skolnick's playing throughout his career (since '87) I was surprised to read that his musical education was as challenging as he described it.Having read a lot of the reviews, I actually expected his stance on metal to be more opinionated than it was. There was very little that a metal-head should find offensive about Skolnick's impressions and almost nothing seamed condescending. He does seem to have an identity-politics-victim-complex but he is who he is. I never walked in his shoes, so perhaps my opinion should be ignored in that regard.If you like Skolnick and appreciate what you know about his journey, you'll probably appreciate this book. If you are a metal-purist/hater this book will probably make you like him even less. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Couldn't Put it Down!! *by B***Z on Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2013* I bought this book primarily as a lifelong Testament fan. There is very little written about this band (as opposed to Metallica, on which there are dozens of books available, most of which I own!) SO, I was excited to finally get an inside scoop on Testament and learn more about their story. Also, like Alex, I was a rather alienated and uncool kid who struggled to "fit in", then and now, so I was interested to see how HE rose above those struggles to "make it". Alex writes with great intelligence, extreme attention to detail and a dry humor and wit that is very refreshing---this is NOT your ordinary rock star biography! You feel like you are right in the room (or tour bus) with him as he recounts many crazy situations, fascinating people, and his feelings about living through it all. (I would love to meet him just to shake his hand and give him a hug!) The ONLY thing missing is that toward the end when he rejoins Testament...would have liked to know much more about the back story that went into those negotiations and why he decided to return (their last 2 records are so awesome, I'm just glad he did!) Other than that, it it a great story and a must read for any Rock Music fan, or Misunderstood Metal head like me! You will be inspired to be true to yourself, and enjoy the ride! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest Biograpy *by T***2 on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2013* The title could have been "The Wrath of Alex". I enjoyed reading it from someone who I feel is similar to me that actually has been successful in the music business. I am a fan of the band Testament and have enjoyed their music since the second lp. I play guitar and I have been in a band so I can relate. Possible one of the best things to happen to Alex is taking lessons from Joe Satriana. Yet it doesn't stop there, Alex continues his education going to college studing Jazz guitar. Strange but around 1992 I left metal and studied Jazz, blues and then Country. When the Recession hit hard I started to listen to metal again. One of the interesting things I read was Alex's experiences meeting his idols in rock backstage. I really enjoyed this book and would have given it 5 stars except I wanted to read more about him being in band Savatage, his marriage, auditioning for Ozzy, being like 2 blocks away serving jury duty on 911. Thanks Alex, not only a great guitar player , but a good person as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/13876418-geek-to-guitar-hero](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/13876418-geek-to-guitar-hero) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
