Roger Daltrey is the voice of a generation.

That generation was the first to rebel, to step out of the shadows of the Second World War... to invent the concept of the teenager.

This is the story from his birth at the height of the Blitz, through tempestuous school days to his expulsion, age 15, for various crimes and misdemeanours within a strict school system. Thanks to Mr Kibblewhite, his authoritarian headmaster, it could all have ended there. The life of a factory worker beckoned.

But then came rock and roll. He made his first guitar from factory off-cuts. He formed a band. The band became The Who - Maximum R&B - and, by luck and by sheer bloody-mindedness, Roger Daltrey became the frontman of one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.

This is the story of My Generation, Tommy and Quadrophenia, of smashed guitars, exploding drums, cars in swimming pools, fights, arrests and redecorated hotel rooms.

But it is also the story of how that post-war generation redefined the rules of youth. Out of that, the modern music industry was born - and it wasn't an easy birth. Money, drugs and youthful exuberance were a dangerous mix. This is as much a story of survival as it is of success.

Four years in the making, this is the first time Roger Daltrey has told his story. It is not just his own hilarious and frank account of more than 50 wild years on the road. It is the definitive story of The Who and of the sweeping revolution that was British rock 'n' roll. Entertainment & Celebrities Şöhret Esprili Komik Düşündürücü Gitar

Didn't want the book to end. An enjoyable reflection of a singer in a rock and roll band.
I like the Who more for listening to this

Excellent account of life in post war Britain, the music scene in the 60s, and the creation of The Who. Roger Daltrey does a great job of the narration, and really carried the story along, even laughing at a mistake at one point! You'll want to get the Who LPs out after listening.
This is one of those audiobooks you get through quickly, then feel sorry it's finished.

Terrific

Daltrey doesn't sugar coat anything here, though of course everything is written with his own slant. It's great to hear him read it through too, chuckling occasionally as he remembers certain things.

Comes across as the 'normal bloke made good' that he plainly is. This is the story of musical stalwart - warts and all. Give it a listen. If you love The Who, you'll love it.

A musical stalwart - warts and all!

A long time fan of Roger Daltrey it was brilliant to hear him telling stories of his life. It really wasn't like him reading a book - just telling you about his life with him retelling stories with emotion and humour
