I admit that punk rock 77 style and all those early bands except maybe Damned are not my thing, nor they have ever been. I grew up into more of California skate punk and hardcore bands, and all that British punk legends were just too boring and slow with their punk rock anthems and disgusting vocals, like Johhny Rotten, singer of Sex Pistols, his goat like singing is still something that makes me puke.
So, I decided to learn more and get this book, written by guitarist of Sex Pistols, one of the most known and legendary first wave punk bands ever. In this book, he deals with his life, from upbringing as poor boy, lonely and abused, to playing with Pistols and all the wild years of punk, drugs and rock n roll, to his later work and bringing himself up from the gutter to host popular radio show and deliver some solo work and guest guitar playing to some of the biggest rock stars. Book is divided into three parts, before Pistols, during and after. What I do mind about this man is total rock star attitude, spitting on all punk ideals and proclaiming that all punks who stick to the ideals and free philosophy are losers and that all is about money and nothing is about music. The guy is obnoxious, full of himself and I totally dislike him. But, like they say, never trust a junkie, huh? Okay book about an asshole who has illusions of grandeur.
