Dean Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Jonner is probably the member I'd want to read about most. What a life. What a voice. I just got this pre-ordered. We could probably do with an AC/DC thread outside of the Axl/DC section, so feel free for any of the mods to merge this into an older topic and get everything under the one roof! Quote I’ve had some long nights and some great nights, bad days and a lot of good ones. I’ve gone from choirboy to rock 'n' roll singer, and now I’ve gone and written a bloody book about it… The Lives of Brian is coming October 26th: smarturl.it/TheLivesOfBrian Edited April 16, 2021 by Dean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underhardy Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 AC/DC is just incredible... hardest, best riffs, countless timeless songs. Bon, Brian. 1980, BIB. A wild ride. Fly on the Wall is probably my favorite of the post BIB albums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I enjoyed his last book despite it be more anecdotal in style (and about his love of cars as opposed to life in the band), but this is a day one purchase for me. I was very happy to see this get announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I cannot see him spilling the beans about what happened on his end with AC/DC on the Rock or Bust tour, but I think he'll go a little deeper on the time between being told to sit on sidelines watching Axl, and then coming back after Mals death. End of the day, he's thinking "I'm back now" so, he'll be fairly easy going about it. He's not a gotcha type anyway, the true nicest guy in rock n roll... move over Grohl. Looking forward to this!

What I took from the synopsis it's that it's only covering his life up to and including Back In Black, so while I don't expect the book to abruptly end I wouldn't expect much detail about the later years in general. Granted, I suppose there isn't much he can really cover beyond that anyways. He wouldn't be the type to go into detail about what truly happened with Phil in 1983 or how he felt about Slade's sacking and so forth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know what was up with Phil in '83. Same shite that happened in 2015! he's nuts!🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 I got an email a few days ago saying this has been pushed back to early 2022. I can't help but think it may be to coincide with a potential AC/DC tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think we'll be guaranteed anything about Axl. I expect it to be much like Bruce Dickinson's book where he intentionally didn't write about anything overly personal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
