Rollicking, rowdy, and introspective, five big rockers record their memoirs and reminiscences in big books this season.
Mick Fleetwood’s Play On: Now, Then, and Fleetwood Mac (Little, Brown), shares his life as a drummer and bandleader and sheds new light on Fleetwood Mac’s raucous history and his lifelong friend John McVie. In the New York Post, Larry Getlen said, “”In his new memoir, Fleetwood documents his wild life, including how the creation of 1977′s Rumours, one of the best-selling albums of all time, almost drove the band insane.”
Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page (Genesis) is a photographic autobiography. Jimmy Page has chosen hundreds of photographs from his career as a celebrated guitarist: from a schoolboy with a “Rockabilly” forelock through his extensive work as a session musician; including The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, ARMS, The Firm, Outrider, Coverdale & Page and Page & Plant; playing with Roy Harper and The Black Crowes; collaborating with P. Diddy, and performing with Leona Lewis at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
In his autobiography Dancing with Myself (Touchstone), Billy Idol is candid, brash, and lively. He says, “I am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I’ve put it all down, every bit from the heart. I’m going out on a limb here, so watch my back.”
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian brings us the fast-paced, funny, and revealing I’m the Man (Da Capo). He includes tales from first hearing Kiss on the radio, backstage with Metallica, and the complete history of Anthrax, to interviewing Ozzy Osbourne for “The Rock Show” while dressed as Gene Simmons (and going undetected), marrying Meatloaf’s daughter, singer-songwriter Pearl Aday, becoming a fully functioning adult, and more. And, as Newsday’s David Criblez points out, his memoir comes with a comic book in the center.
In Rocks (Simon & Schuster), Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry paints an insider’s portrait of the rock-and-roll family, featuring everyone from Steven Tyler and Jimmy Page to Alice Cooper, Bette Midler to Chuck Berry, John Belushi to Al Hirschfeld. He takes us behind the scenes at unbelievable moments such as his appearance with Tyler in the movie “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” (they act out the murders of Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees). Jimmy Page said of Rocks: “Rocking Joe Perry ‘rocks’ again!”
“Z-bot to Hana on priority channel. Z-bot to Hana. Come in.”
“Hana, Acey here. Report position, Z-bot.”
“Position unknown. Surrounded by a large crowd of people at a musical performance. Decibel levels approaching tolerance limits. Standing by for instructions.”
“Engage your audio filters. Stand by for evasive action if crowd becomes frantic.”
“Affirmative, Commander. Audio filters engaged. Auxilliary transmitter power engaged. Stand by to receive data on priority comsat channel Epsilon 998.”
“Switching… Comsat is go, Z-bot. Begin transmission.”
“Long-range sensors have detected a new release for the Nintendo Wii. Preliminary estimates are for a five-star rating.”
“Alert. Key change detected in current muscial number. Decibel levels passing tolerance. Audio filters cannot compensate. Crowd becoming…”
“Z-bot! Come in! Z-bot! Better go pre-order this game before that crowd gets loose, folks. I’ve got to go recover Z-bot. Deploying auxilliary engines. Hana out.”
“Okay, you’ve got to tell us what’s going on here because I’m about to go ultra batty.”
“What are you now?”
“Very funny.”
“heheee…”
“Oh my goodness…”
“Everywhere we look in our server stuff like where it tells us what people are searching for we keep seeing the same question. Even Space Girl is getting this all the time. It’s got to have something to do with that High School Musical review we did.”
“Yeah, it’s not an official-like Jessie’s Letters question but it’s sorta a question cause people are always asking it.”
“What’s the question?”
“Once and for all: Are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens engaged?”
“I don’t have the foggiest clue.”
“Well there you have it folks. GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!”
“What?”
“Sometimes I wonder about you people. I truly do.”
“Acey gots a game that’s about a TV show where you can sing just like they do and it’s for the Nintendo Wii and I want to play!”
“The who got what for the which now?”
“I just want to know when we get the game with competitive drumming. Because that would pretty much guarantee I’d have to get a game console.”
“I heard there’s a game called Guitar Hero that I have got to check out. If we could hook that thing up to our setup in my studio? That would straight up rock. What have you got for us, Space girl?”
“It’s one of our latest reviews. It’s called High School Musical Sing It! and it includes a microphone. It’s a game for the Nintendo Wii, and it’s due to be released very soon. We’re stocking this one as a potential 5-star buy, and it’s available for pre-order in the Gamepowa store right now.”
“Ooh looky! Acey-san has a music video with it too! That’s one of the most popular shows on TV huh?”
“Everybody watches High School Musical. Super popular show.”
“They need to make one called ‘high school band’ starring the Shores.”
“I’m there. If people want to hear some high school music, wait until the green and gold shows up.”
“heh”
“Z-bot is out collecting data on another new game right now.”
“Yay! Which one?”
“Guitar Hero 3″
“Oh sweet! That’s the game we’ve been waiting for! You’ve got to hook us up, Space girl!”
“Want to visit the Powa and do a guest review with us? Z-bot will be back soon.”
“I am so there. Drummer girl, you have to join us! This game needs a rythym section.”
“Sure.”
“I’m gonna go get Talitha-chan so she can link to it. Be sure to tell us when you got the review done okay?”
“That’s affirmative, Jessica.”
“Yay! I can’t wait. Be sure to check back soon, minna! Ja ne!”
