DESCRIPTION:
I read an entire book TL Pretty rare for me to make it through a whole book (thanks dyslexia), also pretty rare to read a music bio book that goes into the details of how screwed up people can get but also has some light at the end of tunnel redemption. This is not just a laundry list of all the dumb sh*t each band member got into although there is a fair amount of that. Its also an interesting read on one of the few bands that is truly an independent and has been doing it for a very long time successfully and on their own terms to say the least.Eriks story takes center stage here and rightfully so as it could be used as a model for anyone whos. mastenator said You'll wonder what pee tastes like. This is one of the most intense and brutally honest "rock" biographies I've ever read. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll gag, you'll actually throw up. You'll wonder what pee tastes like.and you'll love every minute of it.. All around great Amazon_Customer Incredible to hear some of the first hand stories of what the L.A. punk scene was like in the 80s. If you liked Mike's SXSW Cokie the Clown set, definitely check this out, as it has countless stories like those - many that are even more shocking. The audiobook is interesting too, but not as "animated" as I'd have hoped. Hefe definitely has the best "performance," as well as Jelo Biafra, but the rest of the band's reading is a bit monotone and boring. I wish they did a couple takes, because it sounds like they found their rhythm halfway through.
NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories is the first tell-all autobiography from one of the world's most influential and controversial punk bands. Told from the perspective of each of the band's members, this book looks back at more than thirty years of comedy, tragedy, and completely inexplicable success. . Fans and non-fans alike will be shocked by the stories of murder, suicide, addiction, counterfeiting, riots, bondage, terminal illness, the Yakuza, and drinking pee
While there are plenty of shocking stories, the biggest surprise may be how sincere they are. If you need a little history lesson on how all this shit started, and what the true meaning of being punk rock is, I suggest you read this book now! Insanely funny, disturbingly honest, and delivered straight from the heart, this book just makes me like NOFX even more than I already do!!
