Autobiographies/Biographies that you have read?

[AtGame7]

I'm an 80's rock guy so stuff by band members from that genre really interests me.  I guess I look a little sideways at stuff that isn't written by the artist themselves as I really like stories right from the people that lived them.  I did enjoy "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" by Crystal Zevon, but REALLY would have liked to hear it from Warren's point of view instead.

 

What are some good ones you all have read?

Haven't read anything from that era, but Rex Brown's Book 101 Proof was a good read.  Even if he was a little generous to himself.

Didn't that cause quite a bit of controversy with the other ex pantera members?

I haven't heard anything directly, but I would assume that Vinnie Paul (drums) really wouldn't have liked the take Rex presented.

Have to say, I was disappointed when he called the book Mustaine, rather than Hello Me, Meet The Real Me.

 

Was still not a bad read, though.
