Great rock n roll books recommend . 21:46 - Jan 25 with 4221 views | WilloW4 | For those of you who still like to read a real book, I was lucky enough to get a few for my birthday Saturday.. And if I maybe so bold can I hugely recommend the following: Rock n Roll Gentleman, Lee Brilleaux. By Zoe Howe, an excellent read, a great singer/frontman, if you're a fan of Dr.Feelgood and old school London/Essex RnB get yourself a copy.. Also:'Anger is an energy' by John Lydon.. Very funny and poignant .. London life in the late 60's to today..both books are a joy to read..10/10.. ( also very good: 'life in 1950's London by Mike Hutton, for those who like a bit of honest funny nostalgia). | | | | |

Have you read the autobiography of Dave Mustaine (Mr Megadeth for those who aren't familiar with this particular artiste), Metallica? I haven't but I believe it was a best seller in the US. RFA | |

Great rock n roll books recommend . on 11:35 - Jan 26 by Toast_R | Agreed. The opening paragraph about what his dad tells him when he was a boy was brilliant. A very good read I can recommend is Hellbent for Leather, confessions of a heavy metal addict, by Seb Hunter. |
I'll check that out thanks. | |

No but my mate who knows him has and said it was good. He'd say shit was tasty though if it was Megadeth branded | |

Now working as a School Caretaker playing occasionally with Brix Smith (also ex-Fall member and ex-wife of Fall frontman and profession loon Mark E. Smith). Also Marilyn Mansons autobiography. I really didn't know too much about him, but a very, amusing and erudite chap. | | | |

I have Rods book too. I'm not a fan, liking only his early output with Jeff Beck and The Faces. After that forget him or at least his music. However he always and still does come across as an entertaining fellow when telling stories of his life and I thought his book was quite a laugh. At least he's up front and honest. | |
