Bay City Babylon: The Unbelievable but True of the Bay City Rollers6 reviews
Wayne Coy

Hats Off Books, 2005

Wow!! What a great book.

+ Surprisingly good
+ Confirmed all I knew, and taught me things I didn't.

I never would have guessed this band had been through so much or that they were actually, great musicians. Mr Coy takes us on a wild ride of teen adulation and behind the scenes craziness. After reading it, I re-read it and am struck with how frustrating it must have been for the band to fight ...

KISS: The Early Years15 reviews
Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, ...

Three Rivers Press, 2002

To DIE for

+ Not a lot of reading, but good for the diehard Kiss fan
+ A fun read for a great price

This book was really amazing because of its historical and photographic conception. I was really blown away by the quality of this photo book because it makes other bands' books look puny and unimportant. Many times bands put out books that offer either too much boring writing without content or ...

Plexus Publishing, 2004

Jason's Review

+ Solid as far as I can tell
+ Marky likes This Book

I have to say that I loved this book because almost every page held a brand new fact that I did not know about The Ramones. I'm a huge a Ramones fan. They're my favorite band, so this was definitely one of my favorite books. This book is about the Ramones. The good times, the bad times. How they ...

I really like the idea behind the Secrets: Fact or Fiction? books. I had the pleasure of reviewing the first title is this series which compiled an anthology of short stories mixing various genres and themes. Some of these entries recall real events. Others are completely fictional. The reader is ...

Les McKeown, Lynne Elliott

Mainstream Publishing, 2006

Great Bio

+ Recommended!
+ Well done, Les!

If you're into pop bands, this is a must. Les knows what the reader wants: his life an adventures with the Bay City Rollers. And this is what you're going to get, tons of memories of fans, concerts and anecdotes of one of the more popular bands of the 70's. He got a big ego, but most of his rants ...

Rock Stars on God: 20 Artists Speak Their Minds About Faith7 reviews
Doug Van Pelt

Relevant Books, 2004

An interesting read, but not a devotional book.

+ rock n roll or rock of ages?
+ What would you expect a Rock Star to say about Jesus?

My main gripe about the book is that the introduction makes it seem like this is a book of devotions. It is not. Most of the interviews are taken from the (Christian) HM magazine column "What So and So says" where secular stars are interviewed and approached about thier beliefs in God and Christ. ...

Miller Freeman Books, 1999

Good

+ The Best of Ben Fong-Torres
+ Title Says It All

I thought this was a good, literate book. I only read the stuff I was interested in, but there was plenty of that (especially the George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger profiles). Frank Zappa once said that rock and roll journalism is "Writers who can't write, writing about musicians ...

Ted Nugent

Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2001

Why so many ratings having NOTHING to do with the book?

+ get a life tree huggers!!

Read the book, rate the book...it's really simple. While it's really a 4 star book (some of the hunting stories do drag on a bit), I gave it five to help balance the oddly hateful reviews. It's a book on Ted's take on politics, life and hunting told in Ted's usual style. If you like that ...
