Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story of Pantera is the starkly honest and revealing memoir by Pantera bassist Rex Brown about his time in one of the most influential and enduringly popular bands in heavy metal history, offering Brown\'s shocking personal insight into a band that had swapped the grimy clubs of Texas for arenas around the world but whose story would ultimately be touched by tragedy.
Few heavy metal acts survived the turmoil of the early 1990s music scene. Pantera, featuring the peerless guitar playing of the late "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott, was different. Instead of humouring the market, the band demanded that the audience come to them by releasing a series of fiercely uncompromising platinum albums, including Vulgar Display of Power and Far Beyond Driven - albums that sold millions of copies despite minimal airplay.This is the previously untold story behind one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history, written by the man best qualified to tell thetruth about those incredible and often difficult years of fame, excess, and tragedy.

Rezension:
"A warts and all look at Brown\'s journey from small town Texas music geek to platinum-selling, arena-filling rock star. Besides the insightful, and always colorful, Pantera stories included throughout Official Truth, Brown also comes clean about his own personal battles with drugs and alcohol. Not to mention his marital issues."-AOL Music\'s Noisecreep.com
