Summary

NARRATED SELECTIONS FROM THE BOOK, WITH ORIGINAL SCORE

In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi’s time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it’s detailing his parents' difficult divorce, his family’s dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding—which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn’t—he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.

very good listen

iv been a fan of John's since the scream days . never thought I'd get to read this so when I seen it on here it was a no brainer. John is one of the luckiest unlucky people iv read about but come though it all good in the end seems like a real nice guy .

Great autobiography from one of rock’s journeymen

I’ve read and/or listened to many music biographies and this is up there with the best. Unlike many rock stars, John comes across as an authentic, down-to-earth guy who doesn’t use his book as an opportunity for shameless self-promotion or trashing others. An interesting life story that gives a great insight into what life is like for those musicians who are ‘famous’ and had the talent to achieve world-domination but didn’t quite reach the multi-million dollar pay grade. Performed brilliantly by the man himself.
