For the last five years former Nazareth guitarist and Rock Radio Breakfast Show
presenter Billy Rankin has taught on-air morning classes to students of rockÕnÕroll history.
Now heÕs written down some of his favourite study notes: tales of wine, women and song starring big names like Ozzy Osbourne, Guns nÕRoses, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Metallica, Status Quo, Ted Nugent, the Who, REM, the Beatles and many others.
This book is stuffed with hundreds of short stories which will entertain and inform you. Chapters cover everything from big namesÕ early days through lifestyles of excess, studio battles, fallouts and breakups, tour dramas, unusual inspirations and trouble with the law.
ItÕs a great memento of BillyÕs daily School of Rock feature, which kept audiences listening for around 4000 hours of live radio.
Foreword by rock radio legend Tom Russell.
