Description

The jaw-dropping tell-all from the lead singer of 1980s supergroup Rattand the dirty details of the riotous era when big-haired bands ruled the world.

Women. Spandex. Drugs. Hair spray. . . . Welcome to heavy metal rock n roll, circa 1980, when all you needed was the right look, burning ambition, and a chance. 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 lead singer Stephen Pearcy and his pussy pirates became. There was nothing these guys wouldnt snort, drink, bed, or break. But as Ratt scrambled up a wall of fame and wealth, so they experienced a gut-wrenching free fall. Pearcys stunningly honest rock n roll confessional, by turns incredible, hilarious, and lyrical, is more than a story of survivalits a search for the things that matter most.
