"The Bible"

i have read this book 4 times, and flipped through it hundreds.

 

[Anthony]

Not great but informative, filled in plenty of gaps.

Very enjoyable read. Fans perspective of AC/DC

Couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting.

do you think russians is shit? i used to like it. i thought it was kind of christmassy.

nah,
I love Russians.

A shining light in Sting's otherwise pretty dull solo career.

Couldn't put it down, read it in one sitting.

Been meaning to pick this up for a while. I've heard good things alright.

Nnnggblth,

The Police are a good band in my opinion too, but I can't stomach Sting. What I should have said was how could he read the WHOLE book.

 

[Lili Marlene]

How in the name of God could you bring yourself to read this?

I quite liked it. Sting is pretty funny about himself and his ego. well, a bit.


I got the B-52's book at www.athensmusic.net although I just checked and I don't think you can get it there anymore.

Absolute belter!

that syd book was the first one i read but this one here -

is better!

the debbie curtis book was a right old laugh - having said that I've read it thrice. apparently the biopic is based on the book.

and the hicks book is pretty good but it was sad the way he dies at the end...

'Straight Life' by Art Pepper is in a class of its own.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

keenan fell out with them chaps after writin this didn't he?

 

[BC]

yeah, it seems so. he's taken to bad-mouthing them in interviews of late. keenan's distribution issues regarding his own volcanic tongue label are ridiculous, and the above book, while flawed, is an inspiring and illuminating read, especially after ford's "wreckers.." book.

 

[IFF]

the only real music biog book tat i read was the Johnny Cash from the editors of rolling stone after i won it on The mystery train about 2 years back
