I was thinking I should read some.

 

But I only want to read them if they're about people I care about and you know, if the biographies are actually good. Plus, if my local library has them.

 

Right now I think I have "U2 by U2" on my list. And that's it.

 

Anyone have any suggestions please?

i dunno if you like rhcp, but "scar tissue" by anthony keidis is pretty good.

also, "room full of mirrors" by charles r. cross. its on jimi hendrix(:

That Led Zeppelin one...

^good advice

I like a few RHCP tunes, not so much the other stuff mentioned. So I don't know, I would feel kind of odd reading a Bio if I don't even know the music well.

 

Did Morrissey ever write that autobiography?

I am bumping this.

NO read Scar Tissue :whip: It will save your lifffe

what if its not in danger yet?

 

PS. Has anyone read U2 by U2. Is it any good? I'm gonna go pick that up when I'm done my other book.

^I've always wanted to thumb through that. I have a copy of "exit music", a biography on radiohead my brother bought, but it was published in 2000, which sort of misses the whole story....

^Yeah. I was looking at that one. Is it post Kid A? Anyways, my library doesn't have it. I dunno if it's worth picking up if it "sort of misses the whole story."

I've browsed through U2 by U2 and yeah it is pretty good.... from what I read & saw.

 

But really even if your not an RHCP fan Scar Tissue is still a good book for any fan of rock music or just music in general and all the stuff we dont even have any idea about that these bands go through.

Hmm. Yeah. I read up on it a bit. Lots of drugs and sex. I think I might read that one. It's on hold though so I'll probably have to wait a while.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

i stole ST from my brother two years ago and never gave it back. its happy on my bookshelf:lol:

Surely your library could get any book for you, even if they don't stock the book themselves?

 

If you like Blur, Alex James' "Bit of a Blur" is excellent

I just ordered the Doors one....:dance:

I finally picked up U2 by U2 today.

 

Holy shit, it's huge and full of brilliant pictures.

 

Can't wait to dig in.
