Welcome To Your Nightmare

Kurt Cobain. GG Allin. Wendy O. Williams. Duane Allman. Travis Barker. Jimmy Page. Janis Joplin. Ozzy Osbourne. Chrissie Hynde. Dee Dee Ramone. Chris Cornell. Marc Bolan. Tommy Lee. Amy Winehouse. Jimi Hendrix. What do these artists all have in common? They’re rowdy rock stars whose over-the-top lifestyles spun out of control, landing them deep in Rock & Roll Nightmare territory.

  • READERS' FAVORITE: SILVER SEAL CERTIFIED / 5-STAR BOOK

Here you will listen to stories about:

  • The ill-fated 27 Club and how the whole thing got started
  • Rock ‘n’ roll suicides taken out by guns, pills, and booze
  • Shocking deaths ranging from plane crashes to spider bites
  • Bands beset by tragedy, from Badfinger to The Bee Gees
  • Alarming antics covering everyone from Keith Moon to Keith Richards
  • Bizarre curses and strange, unexplained incidents
  • Love, loss, murder, death by drowning, freak fires, and more!

Rock & Roll Nightmares: True Stories, Volume 1 is a meticulously-researched, up-to-date, entertaining, and shocking book that rounds up the tragic tales from the 1960s to the present day.

Volume 2 continues in a separate book and covers the awful incidents at Altamont, underage groupies, Satanic panic, the murder of John Lennon, musicians who’ve died on stage, rock stars who lived on borrowed time, and more. (Oh—there’s a whole series of fiction Rock & Roll Nightmares books, too!)

She is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund (a 501c3 nonprofit charity).

I found this book to be well researched and quite interesting. Lots of detailed information from throughout rock and roll music. Really captivating! I did have trouble keeping up with or enjoying the narration in the beginning but after slowing down the audio, it was good enough. The narrator never seems to take a breath. Still, I’d definitely be interested in Volume 2 should it become audible available!

Interesting stories…

I was totally blow away by the audiobook version of "Rock & Roll Nightmares: True Stories, Volume 1" by talented rock journalist Staci Layne Wilson, the daughter of Don Wilson from the legendary instrumental band, The Ventures. The book is meticulously-researched, as Wilson details the many rock and rock tragedies that have touched us all in an entertaining and illuminating manner. The author opens with the history of the ill-fated 27 Club, and explores the ever expanding list. Wilson breaks down each case individually, and analyzes the many conspiracy theories attached to each untimely passing. The book leaves no stone unturned, from suicides to plane crashes, the bizarre and unexplained, Wilson proves truth is stranger than fiction. Andy Garrison is the perfect narrator for this five-star work. I anxiously await volume 2!

The author of this book reached out to me after reading my review of Confession by Rob Halford. I’ve read a lot of memoirs and autobiographies. I have only read a handful of true stories told by someone other than the people involved. As I am a fan of many genres of rock music, I thought I would give this book a try. I love that this book covers a large group of music, everything from Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Mama Cass, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Dee Dee Ramone, Xzibit and a whole lot more.

Each chapter of the book tackles a different topic from “Chapter One: Only the Good Die Young” which talks about the infamous 27 club to “Chapter Four: Magical Mystery Tour” which talks about mysterious things that happened to some musicians over the years. There’s also “Highway to Hell”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide”, “Breaking the Law”, “Tragedy”, “Flirtin’ with Disaster” and “Motherless Children”.

I don’t want to go into individual stories, but there is one that really caught my interest. I’m sure you remember Iron Butterfly with the single In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Well, one of the bassist (there were several over the years), was a true genius. Philip Taylor Kramer was from Ohio and when he left the band, he went back to school and got an aerospace engineering degree. He worked for the Department of Defense on the MX missile guidance system, he also worked on data compression software with Randy Jackson of The Jackson Five. He also worked on video compression and was going to be an expert witness for the OJ trial before he disappeared. And mysterious disappearance doesn’t quite cover it. I had never heard about this before, but there is an Unsolved Mysteries episode about it, and I will be looking it up.

Narration:
As I said, I haven’t listened to a lot of non-fiction books that aren’t memoirs told by the people involved. There isn’t much dialogue in this book, so this narration is way different than I’m used to. The narration isn’t bad, it just took me a bit to get used to. I would very much listen to this narrator again. I would actually like to hear him narrate something a little more my normal style to see how he does there. I really did get lost in his storytelling.

**I'd like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Lots of interesting stories
