With all these rock musicians like Ozzy, Sammy Hagar, Nikki Sixx, Brian Johnson of Ac/Dc, Tommy James of the Shondells, Dave Mustaine, Eric Clapton, Billy Corgan, and Pete Townshend doing their own memoirs, what are some other musicians that need to do their own memoir? Musicians who haven’t written a book yet. Billy Idol already has one coming out soon, so no need to list him. Billy Joel was going to do one but he canceled the project, so no need to list him either.

I can think of 5 at the top of my head…

• Jimmy Page – He just released a giant photo book which will cost $300 or more, but I want a more appropriate Jimmy Page book. I would like him to write one where he talks about his history and how he started Zeppelin, all that stuff. I think he’ll make an interesting book. There is a Led Zeppelin biography titled, “Hammer of the Gods” but it wasn’t written by the band. I want one written by Jimmy Page himself. He needs to do one.
• James Hetfield – It would be great if the Metallica frontman did an autobiography. I think he could do one someday whenever Metallica takes another break from music. Imagine the stories he would tell with this book if he did one.
• Neil Young – I really want Neil to do one. He would tell some interesting stories in his life and music career. He has been releasing books through his “Greendale” stuff lately so maybe he will do one someday.
• Eddie Vedder – Eddie can do some very interesting interviews on TV and interviews for magazines. I think he can tell some good stories with his life, Pearl Jam and other musical projects. If Eddie ever did one, he would talk a lot of politics for sure.
• Dave Grohl – I really would like Dave to do one so he can go into more insight about Nirvana’s career and talk more about Kurt. I’m sure he would talk a lot about the Foo Fighters, of course, but I want to hear his stories about Nirvana. Lets hope he’ll do one someday.

That’s it. Enjoy the list.
