Paul Heyman, exclusively revealed details on the upcoming new auobiography. Written by Brock Lesnar himself and co-written by Paul Heyman. In a book simply titled, “Death Clutch” set to hit stores, May 24th, later this Spring.
Yes, I will probably end up buying it myself. Would be an interesting read. The book will probably be about his childhood all the way up to today. I’m sure he’ll have a lot to say about his childhood, his wrestling days, football days, UFC career, Sable & his family, his health, his love for hunting and fishing, etc. Sounds like he’s going to talk about everything about his life.
I don’t think he’s doing this book for the money. I think he’s doing it so people can understand him better. Maybe people won’t think he’s such a bad guy after reading this.
So I finally finished reading Keith Richards new autobiography, “Life”. It’s not just a book about the Rolling Stones. It’s way more than that. It’s really about the life of Keith Richards. Yes, he really opens up about everything. He explained what his childhood was like and the book went all the way up to today. Just like most rock musician biographies, it focuses a lot on music, drugs & women. Keith Richards new book is different than other rock musician biographies. He goes into detail in everything. He discusses how he got into music and what made him want to pick up the guitar. He also explains how he got into rock n’ roll and old blues music. He taught us how he came up with his famous open tunings on 5 strings. Most of it, he talked about drug addiction and the career of the Rolling Stones. He talked about his brief feud with Mick Jagger. Yes, he and Mick Jagger had a fallen out which the Rolling Stones almost came close to breaking up. Mick went on to start his own solo career without the band’s knowledgement and that’s how the feud all started. So Keith started his own solo project as for payback with Mick.
Only thing I was disappointed in that Keith didn’t talk much about his career in movies in Hollywood. He didn’t talk much about his cameo in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”. I was hoping he would go into insight about that. How he met Johnny Depp and was wondering how him and Keith got along. He only talked very little about the “Pirates” movie. His film career was only like one or two pages long and you’ll read that at the very end of the book. The only reason he wrote about his film career briefly is so he can clear up the nasty rumors about him snorting his own father’s ashes, which isn’t true of course.
Other than that, this was an excellent read. I liked the behind the scene stuff that we all didn’t know about the Rolling Stones. You don’t have to be a fan of music or a fan of the Rolling Stones to read this book, you’ll be intrigued by his stories. He’s probably the best music storyteller of them all.
What other famous musicians who I would like to see write an autobiography who haven’t written one yet? I can think of 5 at the top of my head: 1) Jimmy Page 2) David Bowie 3) Trey Anastasio of Phish 4) Joe Satriani 5) James Hetfield of Metallica.
Steve Martin, hosted a show at a venue called, 92nd Street Y, in NYC, to promote his new book, “The Object of Beauty”, but the audience complained about the show ’cause Steve was too boring to them. Steve was not acting funny and wasn’t telling jokes on stage that he’s known for. Instead, he went to talk about something serious and talked about art most of the time. The venue apologized for the show and gave the audience refunds.
In Steve’s defense, anybody that calls Steve Martin boring, is a stupid idiot. Does a standup comedian always need to be funny and entertaining, all the time? NO!!!!!!!!!!! Steve Martin is never boring. Whether he gets funny or serious, whatever. I think his topic on art would be pretty interesting. It’s just that the whiny audience had something to complain about.
There is a reason that Steve was unfunny that night. His book, “Object of Beauty” is about the arts & culture. A serious subject, not about comedy at all. If you go to a Steve Martin show about this book, you would have to expect him not to be funny. The new book is a fiction novel about a young woman named Lacey Yeager who is an art dealer. The book sounds interesting to me, I’d like to read it myself.
Steve just wants to try something that’s not comedy for once, give the guy a break!
I have been a longtime die hard fan of wrestling legend, Mick Foley, for years. It was him that kept me hooked to wrestling. I’ve followed Mick Foley’s career for years. Back in his ECW/WCW days, his Japan Pro Wrestling days to WWE to TNA. I’ve also read most of his books. Yes, I even got the opportunity to even meet the man in person. I met Mick Foley at one of his speeches at ACC College in Glens Falls when he was out promoting his book, “Foley Is Good”. I have a pic to prove it, I’ll find it somewhere. I had Foley sign my “Have a Nice Day” Hardcover book and a Cactus Jack T-shirt which I still have both of those. I’ll show you all those things sometime.
Why do I admire Mick Foley so much? It’s simply because, he’s one of the best performers in professional wrestling. He’s one of the only wrestlers who can put on matches and make them historic. He’s a great mic speaker. Even though he doesn’t have a lot of technical wrestling skills, he’s known as a hardcore wrestler, a street fight anything goes type of guy. Plus, another reason I respect him, is because there is no ego in him at all. He’s always very nice, friendly and professional in the wrestling business. He’s one of those rare guys who has never taking drugs. He has never done steroids, dangerous painkillers or any other substance that wrestlers are known to doing these days. Even though he is an obesed guy (he admits it in the book), he has always been very healthy and clean. I also respect him ’cause he is willing to get hurt for real, taking the risks to put on good hardcore matches. Even if it takes losing an ear or a few teeth, he doesn’t care, he’ll do whatever it takes to put on a classic wrestling match. These are reasons why so many people respect the man.
On with the book, “Countdown to Lockdown”, it takes place before the iconic TNA match at “Lockdown” ppv between Foley vs. Sting. Foley talks of the events leading up to the match, giving it a countdown to the ppv. It is not just a book about wrestling. He talks about a lot of serious things. He talks about meeting famous singer, Tori Amos, and how she’s an inspiration to writing this book. He also talks about helping children and talking about being a member of RAINN, a company that helps fight against sexual violence.
What topics about wrestling did he cover? He talked about his departure with WWE, his feud against McMahon. Talked about his off TV feud with Ric Flair. Of course, he mostly talked about the legendary WCW wrestler, Sting. He also talked a lot about wrestler deaths and steroids. He even covered all of the Chris Benoit murder/suicide controversy.
While Ive read most of Foley’s books, I thought this was his best one. It was insightful and intelligent. Foley is a great storyteller. Foley is on a bit of a hiatus from TNA, but not sure if he is on his way back to WWE or not. It’s long rumoured that he could be the next RAW Anonymous GM, but always denied that rumour and says he’s happy with TNA, not WWE…but who knows, maybe he’s lying to tease the fans. The RAW Anonymous GM could be Foley, since he hasn’t been working for TNA lately. This book is a must read for all you wrestling and Foley fanatics out there. Check out the videos below in which Foley talked about those moments in the book.
The long awaited and most talked about graphic novel for DC Comics, “Superman: Earth One” finally hits bookshelves later this week, I believe the release date is Oct. 27th. The story is the beginning of Superman, how it all started. The reason this graphic novel is the most talked about is because, this story hasn’t been told before. It goes back to the beginning of how Clark Kent transformed into Superman. Talks about how he got the suit and things like that.
See the link at amazing for more images from the graphic novel, here.
A young woman crashed through that gate as you see in the picture. Who’s home is that? That is no one other than the legendary horror author, Stephen King. That house has been Stephen’s home for many years. He stayed there for most of his life really. It’s such a shame that gate has been destroyed. As you can see that gate has a spiderweb design with two spiders over it, there are also two gargoyles on both sides on the top.
Stephen King was not at home at the time when the woman drove through the gate. No one was injured. She was either drunk or not paying attention to her driving and must of lost control of her car.
While I’m sure Stephen himself, would be sad of this news, he would use this incident for more inspiration for his novels. He’s always been known to write real life things that happened in his life and bring it into his fiction novels. He’ll probably write a novel about this, I’m sure.
I don’t think King would sue this woman. He would know it’s just an accident but she might have to pay up for damages of the gate, that’s about it though.
I just finished reading Dave Mustaine’s book today. It was quite the interesting read. I thought it was one of the best and most insightful musical autobiography’s I’ve ever read. Dave Mustaine really did a good job clearing up the things that happened in the past. He of course, talked a lot about Metallica. That was pretty much he mostly talked about throughout the entire book, it was all Metallica discussion. He talked about the long feud with Metallica and how he buried the hatchet with the band later in the years. He also talked about his feud with other metal band, Slayer. I didn’t know that Kerry King was a member of Megadeth very briefly. Kerry was in Megadeth for a little bit before the band was signed to a major label. Those two have been feuding ever since. The Megadeth and Slayer feud is officially over and they’ve obviously buried the hatchet since they are on tour together now. Dave also defends Slayer in the book that they are not a Satanic death metal band.
Dave talked a lot about his history with drugs and alcohol. He stays clean and sober today because of his arm injury that he had in the past. Why all the hatchet burying with all the bands Dave’s been feuding with in the past? It’s because Dave became clean and sober, he got himself baptized into the Christian religion and he just wanted to become a better person. So he wanted to show that he can be a good guy by supporting Metallica and Slayer.Dave didn’t talk about the Big 4 shows in Europe for the Sonisphere gigs because he must of finished the book way before then. Dave just didn’t want to hold negative grudges for so long. So they wanted to prove fans that they buried the hatchet by getting on shows with Metallica and Slayer. As a way to get people to stop talking about their feuds publicly.
Dave admits that the Megadeth albums “Cryptic Writings” and “Risk” was the worst he’s ever done, because they were more mainstream pop, than metal. Dave also admits that Megadeth never made a no. 1 record for the Billboard. Most Megadeth albums were successful, but they never hit no. 1 on the Billboard. I’m sure one day Megadeth will make a no. 1 record, it’ll happen for them, it’s only a matter of time. Now that Metallica are friends with Megadeth again, Dave will probably get plenty of songwriting advice from James and Lars.
The book was a great read and it is a must read if you’re a fan of Megadeth or a fan of metal. I too am a fan of heavy metal, as you can tell, but I don’t like death metal/satanic bands. I don’t like goth or black metal either. I just like plain old metal with good guitar playing and just regular singing, not screaming and growling. I listen to a lot of metal like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Dream Theater, Soundgarden, Opeth, Lamb of God, etc. because it’s inspiring music for me to listen to with my own guitar playing. If I want to improve my rock guitar playing, I figure it’s appropriate to listen to as much metal music as possible…just for inspiration. People don’t see me being a fan of metal, but yes, I love the genre, always had.
Megadeth is a great band and Dave is a talented guy. Many people hate him because of his ego and his cocky attitude, but hey, that’s part of the music industry. All musicians have egos and have cocky attitudes (that includes me too, sometimes). I don’t take the ego thing personally and seriously. That’s just the way music is. Pick up the book soon. It’ll make you understand Dave as a person and a musician a little better.
Here is Dave Mustaine discussing his new autobiopgrahy that he just released. Yes, I plan to buy his book soon. Probably next week when I go see the “Expendables” movie.
So at the press conference after the UFC 116 fight, Brock Lesnar revealed he’s writing an autobiography with the help of Paul Heyman and a ghost writer. I’m certainly am interested in buying it and will read it when ever it gets on the bookshelves at bookstores everywhere. It’s going to be an interesting book I think. He might go everything in detail about his life. Isn’t that the point of an autobiography? I’m interested in reading what his childhood was like all the way up to now.
When the book comes out though, he might have to take another break from UFC. Why? One word: Promotion. He’ll take more time off from UFC to promote the book on TV, do autograph signing book tours, and things like that.
I have a feeling that his book will have things that Vince McMahon won’t want to read ’cause Brock might say a lot of nasty things about him, and Brock might reveal shocking stuff on why him and Vince don’t get along. Plus, I’m sure he’ll talk about how he met with Sable (Rena Mero), they obviously met while working in WWE together, but Brock might explain more stuff about their relationship in the book. Of course, Brock will talk about the UFC in the book as well.
It sure will be a controversial book ’cause Brock is a controversial guy.
Congrats to Wonder Woman on her 69 years but in my opinion, the new costume is terrible. I think the new look will flop ’cause she’s not sexy enough. She needs to show more cleavage and show off her bare legs.
Will Wonder Woman look like this when Warner Bros./DC does the live action “Wonder Woman” movie? I hope not. Wonder Woman needs to be sexy and hot. Like Linda Carter from the TV series.
Sorry comic book fans, but thumbs down on the new Wonder Woman suit. Not good.
