Summary

NARRATED SELECTIONS FROM THE BOOK, WITH ORIGINAL SCORE

In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s detailing his parents' difficult divorce, his family’s dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.

Great autobiography from one of rock’s journeymen

I’ve read and/or listened to many music biographies and this is up there with the best. Unlike many rock stars, John comes across as an authentic, down-to-earth guy who doesn’t use his book as an opportunity for shameless self-promotion or trashing others. An interesting life story that gives a great insight into what life is like for those musicians who are ‘famous’ and had the talent to achieve world-domination but didn’t quite reach the multi-million dollar pay grade. Performed brilliantly by the man himself.

very good listen

iv been a fan of John's since the scream days . never thought I'd get to read this so when I seen it on here it was a no brainer. John is one of the luckiest unlucky people iv read about but come though it all good in the end seems like a real nice guy .
