As a rock journalist and ex-editor of "Metal Hammer" magazine, Kirk Blows became absorbed into an environment in which hedonistic habits, exaggerated egos and backstage bust-ups are par for the course, while self-indulgence and excess are not just philosophies but a lifestyle.
Whether being threatened by members of Motorhead, sipping soup with Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a stage with Metallica, drinking with UFO or enjoying candid conversation with Queen, veteran journo Blows presents a collection of enticing tales that provide an often hilarious, always unique insight into an exciting and largely unseen world.
Packed with over 200 adventures and anecdotes that span a twenty-year period, "Hammered: Heavy Tales from the Hard-Rock Highway" captures the imagination of anyone who's ever wondered what their favorite bands get up to when the stage lights go up and the audience goes home.
