nikki sixx's 'the heroin diaries' is pretty goddam riveting.
ian christie's 'everybody wants some: the van halen saga' wasn't nearly as debauched as it should have been.
supposedly, david lee roth (and his ghostwriter henry rollins) will be releasing a sequel to 'crazy from the heat' next year.

Are these both about The Who?
Boy Island is a semi-fictitious one about Cracker, by a guy who was allowed to follow them on tour for a while.
If that's a Pete Townsend joke, I didn't get it until just now.

30If someone can point out Michael Azerrad for being (at all) full of shit, I'd like to hear the reasoning behind it.
That is, not "he wasn't there and he doesn't understand what it was all about," kind of shit. I would like to see blatant falsehoods.
And if you don't like his book simply because you don't like his book, that's awesome.
(I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong or right, but I've read a few of his books and he seems like a very honest man.)
