Rock autobiographies

Wood).
Got them *very* cheap (Clapton paperback, Wood hardcover, both brand
new).
I kind of collect rock biographies/autobiographies.
Bon Jovi's got an autobiography coming out next month.
I doubt I'll pick it up (I'm not really a fan).
If I see it somewhere cheap enough, I might add it to my collection.
I picked up Meatloaf's for only $4 (brand new).
Any other good rock autobiographies out there?
Here's some of what I have (not a complete list).
Some I picked up because of interest, others because they were cheap.

I've got a Word version of Bob Greene's book "Billion Dollar Baby", an
account of life on the road with the original Alice Cooper band. Want it?

That's an interesting read. A friend of mine used to have the
paperback.

Yeah, it's pretty insane. Often over $1,000.00.
I only paid $5.95 for Golf Monster (brand new, hardcover).

Sure.

It's one of my favorites.
Excellent read. Probably the longest in my collection (700+ pages).
I picked it up shortly after it was released (from a local independent
bookstore).
I think I paid nearly $30.00 (hardcover). It was well worth it.
I couldn't put it down.
Most of my books only cost me $5.95 or $6.95 (sometimes less).
Brand new, mostly hardcover.
I haven't even read them all yet.
At those prices, I can't resist :)
They look great on the bookshelf and I'll get to them eventually.

Tough to track down.
Not as rare as "Me, Alice", but it goes for around $100.00.

This is one I'd be interested in.
However, it also goes for around $100.00.
I'm not that interested :)
Some of these prices are pretty outrageous.
Who would pay that much for a used paperback?
A fairly recent one at that.

There's one currently on Amazon for $1,700.00.
Unbelievable.

It's on my radar.
I'll wait for the price to come down (maybe even paperback).
I have some interest, but not enough to pay full-price hardcover.

Try www.swaptree.com for books you're looking for. Great site to trade CDs,
DVDs, books and videogames. In fact, I used it to trade my Chickenfoot CD.

Well, if Gene is publishing it, I figure he was planning on having Eric
Singer finish it any ways!

I meant that in the nicest way really :(
My mother in law was diagnosed with primary renal cell carncinoma back
in 2004. They removed her kidney did scans and tests afterwards and
declared her cured. Several months later she started complaining of
upper back and shest pain. They did tests and scans and that and
diagnosed her with pancreatic cancer, heart cancer that was renal cell
based. They tried an experimental drug on her that seemed to keep the
cancer in check for a little while but she couldnt tolerate it it after
a few months and had to stop using it. It finally spread to her liver
and bones and she passed away in April..
All I was meaning was I truly hope they got all Petes cancer and that no
cells got away

According to Peter he is hoping something positive happens with him
and KISS one last time so he can end the last chapter on a positive
note. If Peter never gets that one last Reunion show IMO the last
positive note will be about KISS being inducted into the RNRHOF.

Sorry to hear that. Cancer is a real bitch and it's a shame so much
money is wasted on AIDS research, a completely avoidable disease,
while most types of cancer is not.

It did hers
