Illustrated.

Synopsis

Gigs that have gone wrong - true stories as told by the bands who lived them. From the dankest rat hole basements to flash arenas, here is a wild ride through Rock'n'Roll's nightmare moments. Rife with hellfire confessionals straight from the bruised lips and shaky hands of jobbing bands, Gigs from Hell strips the mythology and starry-eyed allure of life on the road to its barest essentials - puke, rip-offs, come-downs and the odd stab at glory. Collected and translated from drunken rock-speak by speedball music writer Sleazegrinder, Gigs From Hell is a rare glimpse into what it's really like to tour, record, and survive in the cut-throat world of the music industry - no holds barred with the most cringe-worthy moments fully intact. The Gigs From Hell story For five years, the author and publisher have been posting flyers, leaving messages on noticeboards at venues and posting messages on internet bulletin boards, with the request that musicians send in their worst gig nightmares. Gigs From Hell is the result.
