Acerca de esta escucha

Stephen Pearcy was a scrawny, horny, thrill-seeking teenager with an electric guitar who had graduated from backyard parties in San Diego to half-empty dives in Los Angeles before he and his band broke through at Whiskey a Go Go. Cranking out metal just as metal got hot, Ratt was the perfect band at the perfect time, and their hit single "Round and Round" became a top-selling anthem.

The bigger Ratt got, the more excessive Pearcy and his "pussy pirates" became. There was nothing these guys wouldn't snort, drink, bed, or break. And the fans were just as bad, as husbands and mothers offered up nubile wives and daughters as tribute to their rock 'n' roll idols. On a journey that could happen only in America, Pearcy met everyone from Michael Jackson to Drew Barrymore (at age 12, at a New York nightclub, at two a.m.) to Rodney Dangerfield. His infamous partner in crime, Ratt guitarist Robbin Crosby, a blond Viking with an unsurpassed appetite for drugs and women, cuts a towering and tragic figure throughout.

As Ratt scrambled up a wall of fame and wealth, so they experienced the gut-wrenching free fall after too many hours in buses, planes, and limos; too many women; too many drugs; and all the personality clashes and ego trips that marked the beginning of the end.

Good but not complete

Excellent retelling of the heady days of the Sunset Strip. I learned about a band I never really liked all that much but SP did a great job of telling the story. I was disappointed that he didn’t dive deeper into Crosby’s downfall and eventual death. It’s a shame.it would have really rounded out the story.

Dogmatic Determination and Opportunity Meets Preparation

The book is easy to listen to, entertaining and well written. Stephen was clear as to what he wanted to do and the path to get there. The era of the 80’s was perfect timing. And, the talent, look, place and time was synchronized. One thing that really struck me in this book was that it communicated that while enjoying the stardom and perks, he also knew that it was fleeting and thus, sucked the marrow out of life. This book is realistic as to the hard work, foresight, calculation and talent that it takes to make it happen. While also offering a fine entree of well earned debauchery. I remember hearing Round and Round for the first time in 1984, on KLOS it was hooky and addictive. I switched the station to KNAC who was also playing it. It was clear to me early on, they were a great band. Thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my life. And, thanks for sharing the memoir of yours.

The honesty. Nothing held back. Which might not be for everyone.

Over the top. Addiction has a front seat at the party. An amazing story of survival, well written, good narrator.

Very entertaining. It brought back memories of my childhood when everyone was into hair bands.

Raw and Real

The only thing that would have made it better is if Stephen, himself, had told the stories around a fire pit! Well done everybody.👍

I enjoy it more when the author narrates.

I would have enjoyed this audiobook more,
if Stephen Pearcy had narrated the book himself.

Funny and very entertaining!

This is a great listen. If you’re a fan of 80’s hard rock, and especially if you were in a band during that time, you’ll love this incredibly relatable story. As outlandish as some moments seem, it’s a pretty accurate depiction of the time. It’s all delivered in a very entertaining and humorous way as well, making it very easy to listen for long stretches. And, the narrator does a GREAT job of conveying the whole vibe of the story!
