Synopsis

Paul Di'anno is one of rock's wildest figures. Now he reveals the shocking stories of his life on the road, including the moment he kicked out his own guitarist's teeth, chasing journalists from venues, shooting out car tyres with a rifle and the truth about his arrest for carrying a sub-machine gun. His tale is one of drugs, guns, alcohol; of extended periods banged up in prison and his time fronting the mighty Iron Maiden. His controversial antics off-stage are even more shocking than his existence under the spotlights. He has battled drug addicitions and tumbled from the heights of fame to the pit of bankruptcy. This is a look into the dark and disturbing times of a man who had spent his whole life courting his demons.

Media Reviews
Explosive, violent, funny . . . and--if you can read between the long white lines and are of a forgiving and optimistic nature--charming . . . Dirtier than The Dirt . . . this page-turner of a book documents with effortless flow and continual suspense, a stomach-churner of a life. -- Martin Popoff, author, Contents Under Pressure: 30 Years of Rush at Home and Away
Thoroughly entertaining--and completely obscene . . . There's crime, guns, outrageous shag-fests and enough narcotic-related escapades to put even Motley Crue to shame. If you want sex, drugs, and heavy metal, then you've come to the right place. --Kerrang
An action adventure story starring a Jack Daniels, cocaine-fuelled fighting machine that just happens to be a vocalist in a rock band. Take the extremities of The Dirt , remove most of the drugs, replace them with violence and you've pretty much got The Beast . . . This is the opportunity to tap into the mind of one of the maddest rock stars of all time. --Metal Hammer
