It was good, not great.
Revisado: 02-12-20
I liked the story and the performance. I wouldn’t say it’s an amazing book But it sure was easy to follow. I just finished a Stephen king book last week that had me lost half way through with so many characters that this book felt refreshing. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants an easy to listen story, like I said, it was good but not great.

With astounding access to all the key players of the time, including members of Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and many others, renowned music writer Ian Winwood at last gives this significant, substantive, and compelling story its due. Punk rock bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and that was that - until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music.

Cool story - Bad narration
Revisado: 12-21-18
I found this book very interesting. Having lived during this time and listened to these bands. It’s was great taking a peak behind the curtains. 2 things I didn’t like were:
1 - the narration. The narrator sounds very robotic. I could be wrong but he sounds like he has no idea what and who he’s talking about. At point mispronouncing names. No good!
2 - I feel the book takes a focus on Green Day more than anything. Specially towards the end. Almost feels like the author ran out of things to talk about when it came to the other bands.
I still enjoyed the book. How some of these records came to be and some of the performances that changed how the world looked at Punk Rock

Imagine being alongside one of the greatest bands in the history of rock, touring the globe, and being there as they perform at some of the best and biggest music venues in the world. Peter Hince didn't have to imagine. For more than a decade, he lived a life that other people can only dream of as he worked with Queen as the head of their road crew. In this intimate and affectionate book, Peter recalls the highlights of his years with the band.

After reading some of the reviews I got worried that there wouldn’t be enough Queen in this book. I was pleasantly surprised when I found that the information shared in this story is not only full of Queen anecdotes that we might have heard in the past but also plenty of new stories and details we have never heard.
This isn’t a Queen documentary. This is a window into the world of a rock n roll band’s crew. Being a musician myself (at one point in my life) I found it fascinating! I felt like I was there. Like I was part of the crew. Another roadie walking backstage. I could almost smell the cigarette smoke and dirty clothes. I highly enjoyed this book and I will revisit it again soon.
