About this listen

"They hated us and started throwing cups, bottles, change, chairs, and anything that wasn't nailed down." (Dean Ween)

This hilarious, sometimes horrifying, collection spans four decades and chronicles the craziest, druggiest, and most embarrassing concert moments in music history - direct from the artists who survived them.

"In the midst of my insanity, I thought it would be a very romantic gesture to go into Fiona Apple's dressing room and write a message on her wall in my own blood." (Dave Navarro)

From wardrobe malfunctions to equipment failures, from bad decisions to even worse choices, this is a riveting look into what happens when things go wrong onstage and off.

No Encore! is an unflinchingly honest account of the shows that tested the dedication to a dream - from Alice Cooper's python having a violent, gastric malfunction on stage to Lou Barlow's disastrous attempt to sober up at Glastonbury, from Shirley Manson's desperate search for a bathroom to the extraordinary effort made to awaken Al Jourgenson as Ministry was taking the stage. As Hunter S. Thompson famously wrote, "Buy the ticket, take the ride."

Some great tales in here, from across the spectrum of modern music. Worth a listen if it is in the Plus Catalogue. Some stories are a little stomach turning, but if you want an amuse bouche to dip into, this may well be the book for you.
