Story
In 1984, at the age of 20, Duff McKagan left his native Seattle - partly to pursue music, but mainly to get away from a host of heroin overdoses then-decimating his closest group of friends in the local punk scene. In LA only a few weeks and still living in his car, he answered a want ad for a bass player placed by someone who identified himself only as "Slash." Soon after, the most dangerous band in the world was born. Guns N' Roses went on to sell more than 100 million albums worldwide.

Story
People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

Everything in the story of Meat Loaf is big. From the place he was born (Texas); to the family he was born into (his father weighed 22 stone, his uncle weighed over 40 stone, while Meat Loaf himself weighed 17 stone before he was even in his teens); to the sound he made (a colossal collision between Richard Wagner, Phil Spector and Bruce Springsteen); and of course the records he sold - nearly 50 million in Britain and America alone.

From the do-or-die early days of self-financed recordings and D.I.Y. concert productions that were as flashy as they were foolhardy, to the multi-platinum, MTV-powered glory years of stadium-shaking anthems and chart-topping power ballads, to the ultimate crash when grunge bands like Nirvana forever altered the entire climate of the business, Tom Beaujour and Richard Bienstock's Nothin' But a Good Time captures the energy and excess of the hair metal years in the words of the musicians and industry insiders who lived it.

Pioneers of Britain's nascent rock and metal scene back in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden smashed its way to the top, thanks in no small part to the high-octane performances, operatic singing style and stage presence of its second but twice-longest-serving lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden's front man - first from 1981 to 1993, and then from 1999 to the present - Dickinson has been, and remains, a man of legend.

Summary
By night, Brian Johnson sings in the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet. But by day, AC/DC's charismatic, flat-capped frontman gets to indulge his passion for all things automotive. Cars and rock 'n'roll - they were made for each other.
Car racer, car collector, and all-round car enthusiast, Johnson is an incurable, certifiable petrolhead who can't remember a time when four wheels didn't feature as large in his life as music.
Starting, as a young boy growing up in Tyneside, with an old steering wheel and his imagination, a lifelong passion took root early. And through cramped teenage fumbles in an old mini and clapped-out, hygienically challenged tour vans, to chauffeur-driven, leather-trimmed limos and a sideline as a successful racing driver, it's been there ever since.
By turns, surprising, joyful, poignant, and usually laugh-out-loud funny, Rockers and Rollers is the story of man with an insatiable appetite for life and a glimpse into the extraordinary world of AC/DC, set soon to overtake the Beatles as the biggest-selling band in history.
Packed with hair-raising anecdotes and revealing a God-given talent for comic writing on every page, Brian Johnson has written the most unique, entertaining autobiography of the year. And essential reading for car nuts and rock fans. Well that'll be most of us then....
Assistant producer, Ben Jones.
Recording engineers, Ben Jones, Sam Navel and George Harris
Recorded at Eastcote Studios, London, One Golden Square, London and Panda Productions Recording Studio, Florida.

Comedic Gold!
Never mind that silly singing and little skiffle band -- this lad has true comedic talent. Watch him, he's going places! One of the funniest books I've read -- laugh out loud stuff throughout. Audio production could use some spruce up (e.g. a little more space between chapters to make the transition more obvious).

One of the Best Listens Ever! I Love This Guy.
I've always been a music fan, mostly rock & roll. Yes, I do love AC/DC. I didn't realize that this book was mostly car stuff, but that's my own fault. It doesn't matter. Brian Johnson is hilarious and a great story teller. I laughed my ass off and he's just so goddamned loveable. I wish he'd write more and narrate them all himself. Hells Bells, Mr. Johnson. You're 10 times cooler than I already knew you were.
Thank you, Sir.

Enjoyable Book
I had a good time listening to this book. The fact that Brian Johnson himself is the narrator makes it even better. There are times when it’s a little difficult to understand what he’s saying due to his thick accent. I also enjoyed that they left in some of the bloopers and you could hear him and whoever was in the studio with him laughing about it. If you’re getting this hoping to hear a bunch about AC/DC then you may be disappointed. Some of his stories are about the band but most are about cars. I knew he liked cars before I listened to this. I just didn’t know how much. Anyhow, give it a listen and have fun.

What’s He Saying ?
I thought he’d write about the band days and why he had to quit singing. Lucky it only a four hour listen. A lot of short story’s about cars. At times funny. Hey Brian I’m not asking for a refund. That should count for something !
