Primera edición en rústica de la crónica definitiva de los peligros, los placeres y la decadencia del estrellato del rock and roll: whisky y actrices porno, peleas y accidentes de coche, sobredosis y muerte. Propulsados por todas las drogas que tuvieran a su alcance y espoleados por cantidades obscenas de alcohol, Mötley Crüe camparon a sus anchas durante dos décadas, dejando a su paso un reguero de mujeres corrompidas, habitaciones de hotel arrasadas, coches destrozados, representantes enloquecidos, huesos rotos y víctimas de diversa consideración. Todos estos hechos inenarrables y sus terribles consecuencias forman la espina dorsal de Los trapos sucios, un libro de referencia tanto para los fans del grupo como para todos aquellos interesados en el fenómeno del rock and roll. Narrado personalmente por Tommy, Mick, Vince y Nikki, con aportaciones puntuales de compañeros de viaje como John Corabi, varios ex representantes y un par de ejecutivos discográficos, Los trapos sucios dista mucho de ser un retrato complaciente. Divertido, sí. Patético, entrañable, depravado y repulsivo, también. En cualquier caso, fascinante y absorbente.

"A founding member of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver shares the story of his rise to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, his struggles with alcoholism and drug addiction, his personal crash and burn, and his phoenix-like transformation via a unique path to sobriety. In It's So Easy, Duff recounts GN'R's unlikely trajectory to a string of multiplatinum albums, sold-out stadium concerts, and global acclaim. But that kind of glory can take its toll, and it did - ultimately - on Duff, as well as on the band itself. As GN'R began to splinter, Duff felt that he himself was done, too. But his near death as a direct result of alcoholism proved to be his watershed, the turning point that led to his unique path to sobriety and the unexpected choices he has made for himself since. In a voice that is as honest as it is indelibly his own, Duff - one of rock's smartest and most articulate personalities - takes readers on his harrowing journey through the dark heart of one of the most notorious bands in rock-and-roll history and out the other side."

En 1973 Bowie declaraba:"Ya he dejado de crear personajes. No trato de adaptarme a ellos. Basta. Se han terminado los personajes". Nada más lejos de la realidad: desde 1964, Bowie ya había sido David Jones, el joven mod; el comandante Tom, un astronauta que ante la belleza e inmensidad del cosmos, decide permanecer en las altura y morir contemplando aquel admirable espectáculo; el hombre -maqueado como Lauren Bacall- que vendió al mundo con un traje largo de mujer; el alienígena Ziggy Stardust que llegó al planeta Tierra para salvarlo; el ambiguo Aladino; el Perro de Diamante; el camaleónico rey del Glam (con permiso de Marc Bolan); el Duque Blanco; el simpatizante del Nazismo; el ingeniero acomodado en Berlín; el Gigoló; el hombre elefante; el vampiro eterno; el o..icial inglés; el travesti Blue Jean; resumiendo, el hombre de las mil y una caras que iba creando muchos Bowies que luego, después de haberse servido bien de ellos, los iba devorando uno por uno. ¿Todos? ¡No!, hubo uno del que no consiguió desprenderse: Ziggy Stardust, un extraterrestre que dejó una obra digna de estudio para todo amante de la música que se precie: The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars. Te invitamos a que pases y lo descubras muy atentamente, pero, eso sí, no olvides hacerte con una copia y escucharlo a todo volumen.

This is the second volume in Clinton Heylin's magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - "Revolution in the Air" which is now available in paperback - charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as "Hard Rain Gonna Fall" and "The Times They Are a Changin". "Still on the Road" begins in 1974 with "Blood on the Tracks", the album filled with masterworks such as "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Simple Twist of Fate" that heralded a watershed in Dylan's creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006's "Modern Times". Praise for "Revolution in the Air": 'Beg, steal, borrow ...a compelling history of Dylan's mercurial song writing' - Mojo, 5-star review. 'Better than any biography could ever be, and a crucial Dylan book' - Jonathan Letham. 'Valuable resource' - "Observer." 'A gripping new book by Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin so is so far in the deep end that its borderline insane . . [yet] has been devoured with a ravenous, insatiable appetite, and I have even made notes in the margin' - Mark Ellen, "Word." 'Terrifically interesting for Dylan nuts' - "Sunday Herald." 'Manna for completists' - "Metro." 'True to form, Heylin digs deepoway deepointo the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes' - Mark Smith, managing editor, Acoustic Guitar.

The living embodiment of The Beatles and a musical juggernaut without parallel, Paul McCartney is undoubtedly the patriarch of pop. In this authoritative biography, acclaimed author and journalist Howard Sounes creates the most accurate and extensive profile of McCartney ever built, leaving no stone unturned, and no shadow unexplored. He is the torch-bearer of the Beatles -- the greatest band in pop -- and one of the most closely studied stars in show business. But surprises and secrets still linger in the life of Sir Paul McCartney. In FAB, his full story is told for the first time. Acclaimed author Howard Sounes spent more than two years investigating every aspect of Sir Paul's life and work, including interviewing over 200 people. The result is the richest and more comprehensive biography of McCartney ever written. Uniquely, FAB pays equal attention to the story of Paul McCartney both in the Beatles and post-Beatles, creating a unique narrative spanning the arc of the artist's life. FAB culminates in the sensational human story of Sir Paul's calamitous marriage to Heather Mills, which is fully revealed for the first time. Sounes proves a judicious critic of the music of an iconic star while also delivering a superb psychological portrait of the man.

Bob Dylan has always regarded himself as a songwriter: 'I am my words', he wrote in 1964. This book charts Dylan's rise as a writer, where he gained his inspiration, the burst of energy which produced some of his most famous songs as well as the lesser known stories behind the more iconic verses.

'This is the truth as we know it. I have read so much about what people think they know about Michael, but this is about what really happened.' Jermaine Jackson

Mediante un análisis sociológico se explica el comportamiento y evolución sentimental que ha experimentado la sociedad española durante los últimos 45 años, hacia un icono culutural tan infl uyente y polemico como son los Rolling Stones.Un circulo de odio-amor-odio que se cierra no sin antes dejar entrever las contradicciones de su publico, asi como las de los propios musicos. Unas paradojas que basan su argumento, la mayor de las veces, en una imagen preestablecida en detrimento de la musica.
