This book is a treasure. I first saw A Star Is Born in the 80s, when Haver’s painstaking and brilliant reconstruction of the film had already been completed. The photo sequences puzzled me, but I knew that one day I’d get the full story. Well, what a story!Haver divides the book into two parts–the first tells the epic story of how the 1954 remake of A Star Is Born came together. Which is quite a story, when you consider that the film, when it premiered, was heralded as among the best of all
Presbyterian Church USA Middle East Study Committee recommends Kairos Document adoption for study by General Assembly 2010 by Peter Menkin The Kairos Document is a work that is a kind of Christian peaceful means of declaring war based on various “peaceful methods” of protest and action regarding an unfair and unjust nation’s activities in its own national self-hood, in its own national actions and policies against its citizens, and in its own national actions against another people. The Kairos Document is a work created by Palestinian Christians and aimed at Israel, as a State, a government, and this writer thinks also in its reflection on its Jewish citizens and Jews in general regardless of nationality. That latter statement about it is a reflection of Jews as people, rather than the government of Israel and Israeli actions towards Palestine is probably the widest area of judgment against what is in many respectable quarters considered a radical document that should not be adopted as recommended by the Presbyterian/Israel policy committee on the Middle East by the Presbyterian Church USA at their General Assembly meeting July, 2010. All of the parts of the Kairos Document have been strongly criticized, and held as anti-Semitic by major mainline Jewish organizations in the United States, including the respected human rights organization, The Wiesenthal Center, based in Los Angeles. This article is the third in a series of three on the Middle East Policy Committee of the Presbyterian Church USA paper that is more than 150 pages long and can be found here. It is the final of the three reports in this series, and for readers 1983 USA Fender Telecaster Guitar W/Gig Bag NICE! not familiar with the Kairos Document, a PDF of the Document is found here. This is an important Document, supported by many Presbyterians, obviously since it appears in their recommendations for policy towards Israel, and is popularly support by numerous “peace” groups in the United States, and even in Europe and the Middle East. In an effort to be more transparent in this last of the series, this writer offers an opinion regarding the Israeli need for peace, and peace for all the Middle East. With the proviso that this is a commentary and report, not an editorial or opinion piece reflecting the writer’s views, nonetheless, it is appropriate to say that the key element for work towards peace in the Middle East is continuing dialogue, lack of hostilities, which means truces and aspects of various kinds of truces. This takes a mature diplomatic series of helpful actions on the part of nations. The effort of the Presbyterian Church USA in its policy recommendations is an effort to work towards peace, as is the intent of the Presbyterian Church USA. No doubt of their sincerity, in this writer’s estimation, and is the clear work of the Presbyterian as they form Christian responses to Israel and Middle East issues. Readers who are familiar with the Presbyterian Church USA policy report and have followed it as it has developed know it is a controversial document made all the more controversial by its inclusion this year with the Kairos Document as part of its recommendation for adoption. One recognizes Jewish Community fear and repulsion of what it believes is anti-Semitism and a planned policy that will get rid of the State of Israel. The list of organizations believing this act of affairs is long, and this writer prefers to stay with one example, The Wiesenthal Center. After all, this is a commentary and report for the web and as such requires out of fairness a statement and statements that reflect this major concern and shocked series of observations resulting in opinions held by Israelis and significantly for this writer, noted Jewish organizations in the United States. They are joined by many other voices who find the report unbalanced and unfair to Israel and the Jewish Community. That said, and with the hope that there is much of worth in the report that Christians and Presbyterians need to read and even adopt, in all fairness to the Presbyterian Church USA, this commentary and report will go on with the effort to tell about the Committee recommendations in this space of words. Please note this article also is a compilation of other comments and reports on the Kairos Document in an effort to outline and illuminate the issues. The “Christian Century”, a more liberal American magazine has looked at the report and two writers who are themselves respected academics comment on the paper coming before the General Assembly. The writers are: Ted A. Smith and Amy-Jill Levine. The title of their article is: “Habits of anti-Judaism: Critiquing a PCUSA report on Israel/Palestine.” The assembly charged the committee with preparing “a comprehensive study, with recommendations, that is focused on Israel/Palestine within the complex context of the Middle East.” The study committee made several moves that demonstrate its desire to avoid some of the most common forms

To sum it all up, great book. Picked it up just 3 hours ago and I’ve already learned Welcome Home up until half-way through the solo. The CD helps too since it slows down the solos so you get it just right. As you can see, it includes songs from Kill ‘Em All up until …And Justice For All. You could potentially spend [$$$] or so dollars on a tab book just for one album, but if you just wanna learn some fundamental Metallica riffs or are a beginner, pick up this book. You might also want to take a look at Metallica Riff by Riff since it includes songs up through Metallica (aka: The Black Album).
This is a great Tab book. It is Easy to folow and the tabs are all correct. It comes with a CD that is helpful if you don’t know what the songs sound like already. The tabs have times next to them too, so you can listen to the riffs with the words already over them if you have the real CD. Great book, definately worth the buy if you dont want to try to figure the tabs out on your own. Other recommendations: “The Art of James Hetfield” by Arthur Rotfeld “The Art of Kirk Hammett” by Arthur Rotfeld
I found this book to be an excellent purchase, worth the money. Having the CD with the tablature makes everything alot easier, and the tabs sound awesome. However, the reason i didnt give it 5 stars is that the full songs arent tabbed. There are usually tabs for the intro, bridge and solo, but not for the chorus and fills. This kinda gets annoying if you wanna learn a whole song. But they are excellent books for the learner/intermediat guitarist. Recommended.
If your a Metallica fan and you need to get better at playing , get this…It covers lots of material from Kill Em’ All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, and a couple songs from …And Justice For All (The rest are in another book)…
The tab’s are incomplete but for the most part they have the intro, bridge/interlude/or chorus, and the solo…which is alright, it would be perfect if they included the Master Of Puppets solo, but it’s not a big deal. The tabs are accurate, and precise. Even cooler the book comes with a cd that has the real version being played so you can play along, and most have a slowed down version (this is very helpfulon the solo’s) of the tune. I understand there is also a dvd for the book too, but i have yet to find it.
Well to finish it off the funnest songs to play would be “The Four Horsemen,” “Seek N Destroy,” “Whiplash,” “Leper Messiah,” “Damage Inc.” and “Blackend.”
Anywya buy this if you want good, accurate, fun music
I have had this book a long time and have learned a few songs from it over the years. Transcriptions are pretty accurate for the most part, not that I can play like SRV anyway. I would buy this book again.
Good book (2nd edition), precise transcriptions. I already knew Mary Had a Little Lamb and a couple of licks off Couldnt Stand the Weather, and the book version is dead on. I actually corrected a few licks I didnt get right in the first place. I wish they would have included Lenny, Rude Mood and Little Wing.
this book has been wonerful for my needs and i highly recomend it.
This is the greatest Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar-tablature book by all means……including 25 guitar song’s spanning SRV’s entire career with blistiring blues songs including Texas Flood, and Come On(Pt.3). This also includes live recordings like Im Leaving You(Commit A Crime), and Say What. This also features Pipeline from David Bowie’s back to the beach album. This 2nd edition is better than the first they corrected many of their mistakes. This is the closest you will get to steive ray vaughan. I recomend this book to any guitarist seeking for only the best. Everyone can play along to this Lightnin’ Blues spanning through 83-87. Enjoy!
