Acerca de esta escucha

Vicky Hamilton became the top female record company executive and personal band manager. Only to reach her aspirations while working with Guns N’ Roses, to then take on the most coveted A&R position to date at Geffen Records, under David Geffen himself. It was common knowledge that while David Geffen was relaxing at his Malibu beach house, Hamilton was busy scouring dark clubs for talent. Doing the kind of legwork many larger record labels had gotten away from.

Appetite For Dysfunction is the first time Vicky candidly speaks out about the life she lived on the front lines, deep in the heartless world of the music business. Hamilton brings to this book her unbiased observations and shrewd glimpses about who these rock stars and executives are at the core of their beings, and about herself, as well. She expresses her gratitude for her historic past and her accomplishments, as well as her own shortcomings along the way. She shares her victories, her mistakes, the horror stories, and her dark comedic approach to “making it” in the entertainment business. Even while getting her heart broken on many occasions, leading to some cataclysmic breakdowns, Vicky battles to hang on to her integrity. Painfully taking the highroad, as she loses her job at Capitol Records, while facing eviction and a phone that suddenly stopped ringing, Vicky holds her head high, humbly reinvents herself, and literally, goes on with the show.

Appetite For Dysfunction is a self-exploratory journey through Vicky’s life. A small-town girl who risks everything by dropping out of art school, leaving behind the safety of loved ones and small town values, and making her way to Hollywood. When Vicky arrived, she landed a job as a mere record store clerk, to then miraculously find herself deep in the trenches of an unscrupulous, male dominated, music entertainment business, and blossomed into Hollywood’s most controversial A&R woman and band manager.

Fun facts about rock n roll history. Somewhat sad but interesting. Vicky seems to be kind person.

Fun read!

it was a pretty interesting story all around. most people will be getting this to hear about the big bands, and that's half of the book. she should not have read it herself. it was rough listening to Vicky read. she stumbles through words, mispronounces things and laughs at her own jokes

Interesting story, but lacks something

the story is pretty good but OMG she should not have been the one narrating. absolutely terrible. many missed pronounced words and even Slash's real name. so monotone and no feeling. i should have read the hard copy. painful to listen to by the end. couldnt wait to be done

may be better if i read it

Don't expect this to be all about GNR. There's some of that but this is mostly the author's life story. She's had an interesting life though. She's worked with a lot of cool bands, many of which screwed her over when it was time to get paid. That was sad, but overall this is a pretty interesting life story.

I liked it
