After continual problems with the law, singer Jack Russell moved to Los Angeles where his focus shifted from rebellious small-town antics to unruly nights on the Sunset Strip. Then came the birth of Great White. The band signed with Capitol and began touring with the biggest acts in rock and roll, but the road was an invitation for continued substance abuse and trouble in the limelight. Russell’s story is incomplete without a candid retelling of his experience during the three-year trial linked to the Station Nightclub fire in 2003. Catching most of the blame for the improper use of pyrotechnics, Russell became the face of a tragedy that claimed the lives of 100 people in just 60 seconds. From drug abuse and jail time to a record deal and MTV fame, The True Tale of Mista Bone is the long-awaited autobiography of a man with something to say. Penned by author K. L. Doty, fans of Jack Russell will be given a thorough look into the rise, fall, and return of one of rock's most powerful voices. Backed by commentary from major industry names, Russell’s story is one of colossal heartache, healing, and ultimately redemption. The ending will surprise you.
Jack Russell attended military school with high hopes of becoming an archaeologist, but the gift of The Beatles' Help! on vinyl changed the course of his future. With the record dizzily spinning, Russell recalls: "Music filled the room... I had a vision, an extraordinary rush of feeling. I knew exactly what was to become of me... I knew who I was going to be." Russell joined his first band at the age of eleven, not long after finding love for drugs. After continually bumping heads with school and the law, he moved to Los Angeles, where the focus shifted from rebellious suburban antics to unruly nights on the Sunset Strip. After years of gigging in Hollywood came the birth of Great White and the break of a lifetime. Russell and the gang signed with Capitol and quickly saw Platinum success, moving on to tour with Poison, Dokken, Judas Priest, and others. But the road was an invitation for continued substance abuse, relationship problems, and trouble in the limelight. Jack Russell's story is incomplete without a candid retelling of his experience during the three-year trial linked to the Station Nightclub Fire in 2003. Catching most of the blame for the improper use of pyrotechnics displayed at the band's Rhode Island show in February of that year, Russell, by default, became the face of a tragedy that claimed the lives of 100 people in just 60 seconds. From drug abuse and jail time to a record deal and MTV fame, The True Tale of Mista Bone is the long-awaited autobiography of a man with something to say. Penned by author and journalist Kate Catalina, fans of Jack Russell and Great White will be given a thorough look into the dream, rise, success, fall, and return of one of rock's most powerful voices. Backed by commentary from major industry names such as John Kalodner, Kip Winger, KISS's Eric Singer, and others, Russell's story is one of colossal heartache, healing, and redemption.
A report filed for these great United States of America, in which an account is written that contains, but is not limited to, an alien race making its way onto our planet, the response from a very convoluted government, several toucans, and an American hero trying to find his way back home, and instead finding life, love, and himself. Well, everything but that last one.

Welcome to heavy metal rock 'n' roll, circa 1980, when all you needed was the right look, burning ambition, and a chance. Stephen Pearcy and supergroup Ratt hit the bull's-eye. 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. As Ratt scrambled up a wall of fame and wealth, so they experienced the gut-wrenching free fall, after too many hours in buses, planes, and limos; too many women; too many drugs; and all the personality clashes and ego trips that marked the beginning of the end. Pearcy offers a stunningly honest self-portrait of a man running on the fumes of ambition and loneliness as the party crashed. His rock 'n' roll confessional, by turns incredible, hilarious, and lyrical, is a story of survival--and a search for the things that matter most.--From publisher description.

In only 90 seconds, a fire in the Station nightclub killed 100 people and injured hundreds more. It would take nearly 20 years to find out why—and who was really at fault. All it took for a hundred people to die during a show by the hair metal band Great White was a sudden burst from two giant sparklers that ignited the acoustical foam lining the Station nightclub. But who was at fault? And who would pay? This being Rhode Island, the two questions wouldn't necessarily have the same answer. Within 24 hours the governor of Rhode Island and the local police commissioner were calling for criminal charges, although the investigation had barely begun, no real evidence had been gathered, and many of the victims hadn't been identified. Though many parties could be held responsible, fingers pointed quickly at the two brothers who owned the club. But were they really to blame? Bestselling author and three-time Emmy Award-winning reporter Scott James investigates all the central figures, including the band's manager and lead singer, the fire inspector, the maker of the acoustical foam, as well as the brothers. Drawing on firsthand accounts, interviews with many involved, and court documents, James explores the rush to judgment about what happened that left the victims and their families, whose stories he also tells, desperate for justice. Trial By Fire is the heart-wrenching story of the fire's aftermath because while the fire, one of America's deadliest, lasted fewer than two minutes, the search for the truth would take twenty years.

In Double Talkin' Jive legendary drummer Matt Sorum takes music lovers behind the scenes of a remarkable life in rock. Sorum, whose albums have sold tens of millions of copies around the world, provides an honest, engaging account of the highs and lows of superstardom. Sorum recounts his childhood years idolizing Ringo Starr and surviving an abusive stepfather. After leaving high school, Sorum sold pot to get by. Over time, his drug dealing escalated to smuggling large quantities of cocaine, a career that came to a halt following a dramatic shoot-out. Sorum fled his old life and settled in Hollywood, where he'd enjoy a rapid ascension to rock 'n' roll immortality. He caught his big break drumming for the Cult, and only a year later was invited to join Guns N' Roses, with whom he'd record two of rock's most iconic albums: Use Your Illusion 1 and 2. The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee & Grammy Award winning Sorum opens up with forthright honesty, sharing anecdotes from his time touring the globe, battling drug and alcohol addiction, as well as working with Axl Rose, one of the greatest frontmen in rock, Slash and the rest of the GNR team. His career with the Cult, Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Motörhead, the Hollywood Vampires, and Kings of Chaos costars an ensemble of rock royalty, from Billy Idol to Steven Tyler, Billy F Gibbons and Alice Cooper. Double Talkin' Jive goes beyond the clichés of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, telling the very human story of what it takes to make it in music, and the toll stardom exacts from those who achieve success. Sorum invites fans to revel in the debauchery of the good times, but also paints a stark portrait of life after the party. Music fans of any generation will find value in the pages of this evocative, thoughtful, and candid autobiography.
