I actually read this book a long time ago.  I love Max Cavalera's voice and his songwriting and guitar playing, but didn't know much about his life other than the fact that he formed Sepultura in Brazil with his brother Iggor.

What I find interesting and inspiring about Max is that despite his stature and influence in the history of metal, he is always interested in the ways that metal is constantly changing and evolving, and like his friend Dave Grohl, is always interested in promoting the music that he hears that he loves.

This autobiography tells the story of his privileged background getting ground to a halt after his Italian embassy father suddenly passed away, growing up in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and spanning his career with Sepultura until he ultimately left the band over disputes about band dealings because of his marriage to the manager, his time with Soulfly, and his reuniting with Iggor in Cavalera Conspiracy.

I love the energy and enthusiasm this guy has, and he's definitely one of my biggest heroes and influences.
