Maybe A Writer : My Life In Threshold
Threshold - Book - by Richard West
(2022)
Richard West never imagined that he would spend 30 years as the
keyboardist with British progressive metal standard bearers Threshold.
From his first rehearsal with the band in a damp, neglected village
hall, to touring with Dream Theater and sharing huge outdoor festival
bills with rock legends including Whitesnake, West has been at the heart
of Threshold since 1993 and has become one of its driving forces. Along
the way he has seen various singers, including Damian Wilson and Andrew
‘Mac’ McDermott, and a series of drummers pass through the band’s
ranks. Threshold have experienced both tragedy – notably Mac’s death in
2011 – and triumph.
Demonstrating considerable resilience, the
band have perennially persevered, with their 2017 album Legends Of The
Shires marking a return to top form, which is continued by Dividing
Lines.
Written during 2021 and 2022, West’s autobiography
provides the definitive account of the career of one of prog metal’s key
bands. Beyond Threshold, West recalls his childhood on the UK’s Devon
coast, writing pop music for Simon Cowell, making a din with Jimmy
Page’s guitar and getting to know his wife Farrah in prison. The book
also recounts West’s other musical adventures in League Of Lights
alongside Farrah as well as other projects.
