Whats your favourite musical auto biography or biography you have read?
We all have that artists auot biography's or biography's we have read about who's story was so riveting you couldnt put it down. It would be great to hear everyones opinions on what they think is the best one they have read. For me so far unequalled is Sex, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll by Billy Thorpe. His story was fascinating and showed the sixties in all its rock and roll glory. From mad sexcapdes to run ins with thugs from the sydney underworld to the loss of a close friend this book is fast packed from start to finish. Billy is such a great story teller he makes you believe he was the biggest musical artist in australia at that time which wasnt necessarily the case. Considering he doesnt even rank as one of my favourite artists yet the book leaves Slash by Anthony Bozza and Scar Tissue (Anthony Keidis) by Larry Sloman in its shadow, both artists of whom I am a fan shows how much I rate this book.

The new Autobiography by Dave Mustaine is fantastic. "Chapter and Verse" about Genesis is also full of lots of interesting stories and fights within the band...

Mike Barnes - "Captain Beefheart" the biography . Brilliant view of a brilliant artist.
Though i'm pretty curious about the newly published book from John "drumbo" French. To read his view
and take on the man would be the best insight i guess...
And ofcource - "our band could be your life" by Micheal Azzerad.
Though i'm looking fwd to a book that*ll cover Minutemen and Minutemen only...
Have the newly released Husker book - haven't read it yet though - hope it's good....
