About Joel McIver |

 |
As of winter 2011, I'm the author of 20 books (about 30 more exist in translation) and I contribute to music and film magazines such as Rolling Stone, Metal Hammer, Classic Rock, Bass Guitar, Drummer and Record Collector. I do a bit of radio and TV, and I write liner notes for CDs and DVDs (there's a partial list of them here). I also write for broadsheets such as the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian (my contributor page for the latter is here). There's more info about me and my books at my Wikipedia page. There are interviews with me on the web going back as far as 2002. Here's a bunch of the more recent ones. 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 I've interviewed about 800 musicians, actors, directors, producers and associated goons over the years: a partial list of interviewees can be found here. Some of my stuff is available for syndication at this location. Online features by me include an amusing interview with Sir Patrick Moore, a less amusing but more surreal interview with Katie Price from 2010, a tech-heavy face-to-face with Soulfly's Max Cavalera, a cerebral natter with Metallica's Rob Trujillo, a mildly apocalyptic chat with the great Ice-T, a filmed interview with Slayer's Dave Lombardo at Youtube and an obituary of the late Motorhead guitarist Wurzel in the Guardian. |
