Transcription

Education and career

McIver is an alumnus of Backwell School[1] and the University of Edinburgh.

McIver was the editor of Bass Player magazine from 2018 to 2022, having spent six years before that editing Bass Guitar magazine.[2]

Works

Since 1999, McIver has written 35 books.[2] In the introduction to Neil Daniels' 2009 book All Pens Blazing, writer Martin Popoff described McIver as "probably the top [rock] scribe in the world".[3] In a review in April 2012, Classic Rock magazine described him as "...by some distance, Britain's most prolific hard rock/metal author..."[4]

As well as writing his own books, McIver co-wrote several musicians' autobiographies. The first of these was the memoir of sometime Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, published in 2011.[5] Other memoirs co-written by McIver include those of Max Cavalera of Soulfly,[6] Megadeth bassist David Ellefson,[7] David Bowie's former drummer Woody Woodmansey[8] and blues veteran John Mayall.[9]

Awards

As 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.[10]

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.[11] Parsons, along with surround mastering engineers Dave Donnelly and P. J. Olsson, won the Grammy Award for Best Immersive Audio Album for the box set at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.[12]

In 2018, McIver co-hosted a podcast called Dead Rock Stars with fellow writer Mick Wall. In June that year, The Guardian named Dead Rock Stars their podcast of the week.[13][14]
