And now for
something just a little bit different!
I will read a
musical biography; I don’t care even if it’s the Spice Girls individual
missives I do like a historical musical book so here is the last 4 that I have
read!.
Into the void
– Geezer Butler – 6/10.
An easy read
(under 5 hours) but it didn’t really go into tons of details, there was nothing
that I didn’t know, apart from his early life before Sabbath, I don’t dislike
it, but a bit more detail would have been good, I would like to have seen what
the publisher actually cut out that might have been juicer!
Lonely Boy –
Steve Jones – 3/10.
God this was
boring again an easy read and started off quite well, but it basically repeated
itself, bless me I’m thick, I was abused, I stole , I became an addict with
everything! And then repeat, again quite crap on the details it started off
really well and then well let’s just say this has been the biggest
disappointment of the year, like school he could do better!
The Storyteller
– Dave Grohl – 8/10.
I like the
man, not a huge fan of any bands he’s played in, I could listen to his greatest
hits no problem, but I do like his passion, and he comes across really well,
lots of details, you can tell he’s a fan of music and he has actually put some
effort into this, if you like these kind of biographies I do recommend this
book!
For Facts
Sake – Bob Daisley – 9.5/10.
No matter
what I read for the rest of the year this is the book for me, to be honest I have
been trying to get a copy for the last couple of years, but it always seems to
be sold out, well I have it, and its Fab, simply crammed with tons of info
cracking pictures and loads of stuff I kind of knew but this gives all the gory
details, not salacious jut the actual facts, I can’t recommend it highly
enough, why the reduction in the score well he’s a David Icke fan and has been
involved with Scientology for some courses, I don’t mind either whatever floats
your boat, however having read a number of books from both sides of these
particular fences well let’s just say as a person who I have met the man and he
is a lovely chap I just don’t care for his reading choices, but this for me definitely
book of the year!
So, there
you go a short missive as I get my life back into gear, something coming down
the track again soon, until then ……….Toodles!
