The best-known of his books is the best-selling Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica, first published in 2004 and appearing in nine languages since then. McIver's other works include biographies of Black Sabbath, Slayer, Thunder, Ice Cube and Queens Of The Stone Age. His writing appears in newspapers and magazines such as The Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and Classic Rock, and he is an occasional guest on BBC and commercial radio and television. CareerMcIver has written 30 English-language books since 1999, with at least 75 more editions available in various other languages.[1] In the introduction to Neil Daniels' 2009 book All Pens Blazing, veteran writer Martin Popoff described McIver as "probably the top [rock] scribe in the world".[2] In a review in April 2012, Classic Rock magazine described him as "by some distance, Britain's most prolific hard rock/metal author".[3] As well as writing his own books, McIver also co-writes the autobiographies of rock musicians. The first of these was the memoir of sometime Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, published in 2011.[4] Other autobiographies written by McIver include those of Max Cavalera (Sepultura, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy)[5] and Megadeth bass player David Ellefson,[6] which include forewords by Dave Grohl and Alice Cooper respectively. In April 2016 Pan Macmillan announced the publication later in the year of sometime David Bowie drummer Woody Woodmansey's autobiography, Spider From Mars: My Life With David Bowie, for which McIver is Woodmansey's co-writer. The book includes a foreword by Bowie's producer and friend Tony Visconti.[7] Since 2012, McIver has also been the Editor of Bass Guitar magazine, and occasionally performs as a bass player; he played at the Brecon Jazz Festival in 2017 alongside classical guitarist Gerard Cousins.[8] He also co-hosts a podcast called Dead Rock Stars with fellow writer Mick Wall. In June 2018, the Guardian named Dead Rock Stars their podcast of the week.[9] McIver is an alumnus of Backwell School[10] and the University of Edinburgh. AwardsAs Editor of Bass Guitar magazine, McIver received the 2018 Award of Excellence for Best Educational Project from the Players School of Music in Clearwater, Florida. The same year, Sony's 35th-anniversary-edition reissue of The Alan Parsons Project's 1982 album Eye In The Sky, for which McIver wrote extensive liner notes, won its category at the annual Prog magazine awards. Parsons, along with surround mastering engineers Dave Donnelly and PJ Olsson, won the Grammy Award for Best Immersive Audio Album for the box set at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards[11].
