Life In The Stocks: Veracious Conversations with Musicians & Creatives (Volume Two) by Matt Stocks [e-book]

Life In The Stocks: Veracious Conversations with Musicians & Creatives (Volume Two) is the second installment in a trilogy of collected interviews taken from the iTunes chart-topping podcast, Life In The Stocks, hosted by DJ, ex-Kerrang! Radio and Scuzz TV presenter, and Metal Hammer and Classic Rock writer, Matt Stocks.

Hot off the back of Volume One, the next Life In The Stocks book will feature highlights from interviews with a wide range of alternative musicians and creatives, including Gene Simmons (Kiss), Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Chuck D (Public Enemy), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Jesse Hughes (Eagles of Death Metal), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand), Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks), Casey Chaos (Amen), Richard Kruspe (Rammstein), John Feldmann (Producer), Kevin Kerslake (Filmmaker), and many more.

Life In The Stocks Volume Two will also feature an unpublished interview with Joey Jordison from Slipknot, never-before-seen photographs of Nirvana, and an introduction by Keith Buckley from Every Time I Die. 

“Matt Stocks is a one of a kind character whose genuine good nature and playful curiosity shines through every conversation I’ve been fortunate enough to have had with him—and will undoubtedly shine through these pages onto all readers alike.”
—Laura Jane Grace, musician and author of Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout

“Matt Stocks extracts stories out of me that I had no intention of telling. But I don’t mind giving them up to him because he’s such a charmer. Reading this book, it seems like I’m not the only one who couldn’t resist.”
—Danko Jones, musician and author of I've Got Something to Say: 10 Years of Rock and Roll Ramblings

“I’ve known Matt for many years now, so I can safely say he is a friend. I must admit, though, I’m first and foremost a fan of his work. I’ve done hundreds of interviews all over the world and there are very few people who can hold a candle to this man. He has a natural way about him.”
—Jesse Leach, Killswitch Engage
