Omschrijving

A blend of This Is Spinal Tap and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the cult classic confessions of a debauched rock ’n’ roller and his adventures in excess on the ’80s hair-metal nostalgia tour through Middle America, now in a revised and updated edition.

Once upon a time at the start of the new century, the unheard-of Unband got a chance to drink, fight, and play loud music with ’80s metal bands like Dio and Def Leppard. To the mix they brought illegal pyrotechnics, a giant red inflatable hand with movable digits, a roadie dubiously named Safety Bear, a high tolerance for liver damage, and an infectious love of rock & roll and everything it represents.

Unband bassist Michael Ruffino takes us on an epic joyride across a surrealistic American landscape where we meet mute Christian groupies, crack-smoking Girl Scouts, beer-drinking chimps, and thousands of head-bangers who cannot accept that hair metal is dead. Here, too, are uncensored portraits of Ronnie James Dio, Anthrax, Sebastian Bach, Lemmy of Motorhead, and others.

Adios, Motherfucker is gonzo rock storytelling at its finest—excessive, incendiary, intelligent, hilarious, and utterly original.

What really happens when a band with more guts than sense goes on tour with the gods of ’80s hair metal?

Rock and Roll Memoir: Follow The Unband’s bassist Michael Ruffino on a joyride across a surreal American landscape, pieced together from years of actual journals. Gonzo Journalism at its Finest: A chaotic blend of This Is Spinal Tap and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, packed with beer-drinking chimps, crack-smoking Girl Scouts, and uncensored rock history. 80s Hair Metal Gods: Get up-close and personal with legends like Ronnie James Dio, Lemmy of Motorhead, Sebastian Bach, and members of Def Leppard and Anthrax. Life on the Road: Filled with illegal pyrotechnics, a roadie named Safety Bear, and a high tolerance for liver damage, this is an unflinching look at the price of chasing a rock and roll dream.
