From the Stooges and MC5, to Grand Funk Railroad and Ted Nugent, to the White Stripes, Eminem, and Kid Rock, and whole casts of other great bands and performers, Detroit has always produced louder, more rumbling, in-anyone's-face rock and roll than can be found anywhere else on the globe. In DETROIT ROCK CITY, readers get to hear the stories straight from the participants themselves - the singers, the guitar slingers, the fans, the reporters, the promoters, the guys who made amps by hand (to be louder and crunchier than the competition); that is, anyone who saw with their own eyes, made with their own hands, and heard with their own ears.
