Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

by John Corabi, Paul Miles

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.

I had a signed copy and it was kind of daunting, seeing just how large it is. I ended up doing the audio book and I came away generally really liking John Corabi. The book would probably be a full chapter shorter if you add up all the times he used the F word and took them out. But it was nice to hear an autobiography of a rock star where heroin isn't a large part of the story.

One of the better rockstar memoirs I’ve read.

Well written and immensely enjoyable read not only about a great musician but also a wonderful storyteller

Great anecdotes, if you can stomach the word 'fuck' three times every paragraph.

I heard Corabi interviewed. He didn't speak like that.

Bisa jadi salah satu musisi paling sial di periode 90an atau bisa juga memang tidak akan bisa berada di puncak.
