Star Trippin': The Best of Mick Wall 1985-91

As Kerrang magazine celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, Mick Wall collected some of his best interviews and articles, including remarkable encounters with such stars of the era as W. Axl Rose, Jimmy Page, Jon Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Ritchie Blackmore and Lars Ulrich. With new introductions to each chapter, readers will travel to such far-flung rock'n'roll outposts as Los Angeles, New York, Moscow, Rio de Janeiro, Dublin, Berlin, and Ealing. Irreverent, funny, offensive to anyone who ever disliked very loud rock music, and occasionally quite serious in its analysis of the most famous people who made that music, this is writing that pulsates with rock's own juddering rhythms.
