Sinossi
Drogati, molesti e spudorati, i NOFX raccontano il meglio e il peggio delle esperienze che li hanno portati dal suonare con poco successo nei locali di tutta la California, al diventare una delle band hardcore punk più controverse e influenti del mondo. Questo libro è ricco di episodi esilaranti e rivelazioni inaspettate, e tra le pieghe di vizi, perversioni varie e vero e proprio delirio, ritroviamo anche avvincenti spaccati della violenta scena hardcore punk californiana degli anni '80, amari ricordi della dipendenza da eroina, folli episodi sulla vita in tournée, curiose pratiche sessuali e molto, molto altro che saprà intrigare, emozionare e soprattutto divertire chiunque - persino chi non è fan della band! I NOFX si sono formati nel 1983 e da allora hanno pubblicato più di una dozzina di album, venduto più di otto milioni di dischi, sono andati in tour in quarantadue diverse nazioni sparse su sei continenti, fondato una delle etichette indipendenti di maggior successo al mondo, e sono pure stati protagonisti di un reality show incentrato su di loro. Vivono in California.

NOFX: The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories. This book has the greatest opening sentence that I've ever read in my life. "The first time I drank Piss was on a fire escape overlooking downtown Los Angeles." I first started listening to NOFX when I was 12 years old and I still regard them as one of m Leggi tutto
Five stars for the raw and real account of a huge part of my childhood! You love or hate them, or you wish you could had the guts to be them! Some may disagree, but when it comes to living life on your own terms, these guys take the cake. Otherwise, this is a hilarious account of what punk rock cult Leggi tutto
NOFX has been one of my favorite bands going on....20 years now. Since I was in middle school. So it’s no surprise I loved this book, which chronicles (in heartbreaking and hilarious detail) the entire history of the band. While all that is to be expected, my biggest takeaway from the book was a rea Leggi tutto
Amazing. What a life these guys have lived. It is so interesting to like a band for so long but not know much about them. I was surprised to hear all of the crazy stories about their lives and where they are now.
Slightly entertaining at times, but the band members are such misogynistic, sociopathic dickheads that it was pretty hard to stomach overall.
Exceptional. Truly one of the best band autobiographies I've ever read. The book is told semi chronologically from the point of view of each band member; seamlessly interwoven into a cohesive and fascinating story. A must read for fans of the band but also highly recommended even if you've never hea Leggi tutto
I’m such a huge fan of NOFX and I’ve been looking forward to reading it for ages but I keep putting it off because I was scared of being disappointed. I’m glad to say that I absolutely loved it and thoroughly enjoyed every single page. It wasn’t always easy reading, some parts get pretty dark and gr Leggi tutto
It was 1999 when I purchased 'Punk in Drublic' at a now closed Best Buy. Since that inception, I have been a consistent fan of NoFX by mostly leaning on the musical recommendations of my older brother. So when I learned that a 'tell-all' book covering NoFX's 30 year history had been released, I was
This book was WILD. I kept reading it with my mouth hanging open, there were moments where I truly laughed out loud. I learned a lot of intimate details not just of the band but other bands of the era. The most eye opening thing for me was hearing stories of the violence of Southern California punk
