It was an all around interesting read; but was left wanting the details to be more in-depth. I didnt need anydrama or juicy details but felt that Phil was holding back. Nonetheless I would recommend it for any Lep fan for a glimpse into Mr. Collens life pre and post Hysteria!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Rock Star Wiki PageBy LVT06Love Def Leppard too much; which is why this first bio from a band-member is so disappointing. Collen deserves credit for avoiding the tired old groupies; coke and band drama tropes of his fellow 80s rockers books. But he missed out in sharing the meaningful anecdotes and new revelations that fans crave. Theres minimal description of the artistic and technical details of the albums and songs. He zips through much of Def Leps 30-year run offering few insights into what keeps the gang together and drives them to stay in the game. This is essentially a glammed up Wiki entry.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This autobiography will leave you high and dryBy Jose A TadeoThis is one of the driest biographies I have read. There is no passion or enthusiasm to most of the book. It reads like a list of events that were perfunctorily put together. There are no insights. After wasting your time with this book; fans wont know much more about Phil Collen or Def Leppard that they havent read in magazines over the years.
