The jaw-dropping tell-all from the lead singer of 1980s supergroup Ratt and the dirty details of the riotous era when big-haired bands ruled the world.
Women. Spandex. Drugs. Hair spray. . . . Welcome to heavy metal rock n roll, circa 1980, when all you needed was the right look, burning ambition, and a chance. Cranking out metal just as metal got hot, Ratt was the perfect band at the perfect time, and their hit single Round and Round became a top-selling anthem. The bigger Ratt got, the more excessive lead singer Stephen Pearcy and his pussy pirates became. There was nothing these guys wouldn t snort, drink, bed, or break. But as Ratt scrambled up a wall of fame and wealth, so they experienced a gut-wrenching free fall. Pearcy s stunningly honest rock n roll confessional, by turns incredible, hilarious, and lyrical, is more than a story of survival it s a search for the things that matter most."
