Recenzii

...Part memoir, part biography, Long explains in great detail how he originally landed his coveted position within the bands ranks after years of friendship with bassist Bobby Dall, before becoming his go-to guy on tour... Each new revealing tale leaves you yearning to get to the next page as quickly as possible. I must admit, I didnt catch the original edition of this book the first time around, but Im definitely glad I was finally able to catch up on it... So whether or not youre even a fan of the band Poison themselves per se, there should be something for everyone here whos even had a remote interest in rock music. So put down the worries of every day life, and pick up A Shot of Poison for Nothin but a Good Time! -- Jesse Striewski, Rewind It Magazine, 12 November 2020
He writes at length about how Poison has been high on his personal list of musical heroes for ages. He writes about having kept the faith as a fan through the bands lean years. He explains the inexplicable by rattling off the respect he has for them as musicians and songwriters as well as the artistic value of their lesser-known albums. Call him a super-fan, call him crazy, call his taste into question, but the dude knows what he likes and his enthusiasm is an infectious force that drives this book. They say write about what you know and/or love and that philosophy has certainly been put into play throughout A Shot of Poison. Kevin Stewart-Panko, v13 Net, 20th November 2020
