As a rock journalist and ex-editor of Metal Hammer magazine, Kirk Blows became absorbed into an environment in which hedonistic habits, exaggerated egos and backstage bust-ups are par for the course, while self-indulgence and excess are not just philosophies but a lifestyle.Whether being threatened by members of Motörhead, sipping soup with Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a stage with Metallica, drinking with UFO or enjoying candid conversation with Queen, veteran journo Blows presents a collection of enticing tales that provide an often hilarious, always unique insight into an exciting and largely unseen world.Packed with over 200 adventures and anecdotes that span a twenty-year period, Heavy Tales from the Hard-Rock Highway captures the imagination of anyone who’s ever wondered what their favorite bands get up to when the stage lights go up and the audience goes home.
