Dirty Deeds


I wasn't a fan of AC/DC until we saw them at the Palace a few years back. That night they blew me away.

Reading this book had a similar effect. Not that I was blown away by Evans writing skills but just by how bad ass AC/DC were. Nothing makes you appreciate something more than knowing all the blood, sweat and tears involved in making it happen.

Not every book on rock bands that I've read has had this effect on me though. So that's why I'm recommending this one. It's way better then White Line Fever. Slightly better than Iron Man. But not even close to as good as I Am Ozzy or The Dirt.

One similarity between this book and I Am Ozzy is that it makes me want to read a different book on the main force behind the band...in this case ANGUS. That dude seems like he would have some real shit to say. The only real thing I learned about him was that he preferred "ciggies & tea" to booze & drugs and that he was an anti-social little cunt. But based on these things, I really would like to read a book from his perspective.

You should borrow this.
