Top 3 Books About Rockstars

Keith Richards
Life (2010)

As every item in this list, this book will make you wonder... How could somebody who lived through rock and roll as hard as Keith Richards, could even be sane enough to remember it?

This book will deliver the expected bashing over at least one band member but it transcends and becomes a very interesting literary element to add to your collection.

Lemmy Kilmister
White Line Fever (2002)

Again with the memorable quotes… "Smoking pot helps the sense of humour no end, but after a while you lose it altogether and all you can do is talk about the cosmos and shit, which is really boring." What else could we expect from the autobiography of one of the most famous rockstars?

This is one of the best written memoirs and captures the ‘rollercoaster’ character of Lemmy to the word.

Slash
Slash (2007)

When you get a quoted line like "I had no remorse whatsoever about my overdose... but I was pissed off at myself for having died. The whole hospital excursion really ate into my day off." in a book you know it will be a reflection on the rock and metal scene that characterized this era.

This book will include great memoirs from Guns n’ Roses as well as comments and gossip about the scene. It spares no detail about the decadence that Slash lived through.

Marilyn Manson
The Long Hard Road Out of Hell (1998)

Marilyn starts this book with his sudden stardom, right before he released his infamous Mechanical Animals album. He speaks about how a Midwest dork called Brian Warner became the worldwide known rock megastar called Marilyn Manson.

How can you find in a book quotes like "If every cigarette you smoke takes seven minutes off your life, every game of Dungeons and Dragons you play delays the loss of your virginity by seven hours." and "if the girl has a tattoo with your name on it, then it’s just common courtesy to have sex with her"? Only in a Marilyn Manson biography.
