Band Auto/Biographies?

Question

Are there Any good Autobiographies Or Biographies On Bands Like Nirvana,Foo Fighters,Metallica,Pantera,Tool or Any bands like those?

Answer 1

I think one of the best things to do would be watch the film "Kurt Cobain: About A Son" Its straight from his mouth and it also has a lot about the band, Its very interesting.  A lot of people enjoy "heavier than heaven" though parts about Kurt Cobains early life are rather off (or so I have heard). So I would only suggest reading when they start talking about the band, There is "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana " which was written in 1993 and is where the interviews in "kurt Cobain: About A Son" come from. So here is what I would dp: Read "Kurt Cobain: Journals" and watch "Kurt Cobain: About A Son". As for FF I don't believe there is one, but part of their history is with Nirvana...... I know this will sound cliched but just read Wikipedia, it has everything about Nirvans without all the BS from the books.

@ Steven W. You just managed to get me pissed off about something related to the doors.... good job! Classic rock eltitist...

Answer 2

i read the jim morrison one, no one here gets out alive!!!

it was amazing.

i dont know if you'd consider this 'nirvana's biography' though.

i bought Kurt Cobain's journal, its not HIS original one, but its a BOOK of all his writings, its sorta like an ~autobiography~

it is VERY interesting

edit: OH! when i went to the library after school, i was in the bio section, and i found a very interesting bio about the beatles. i could NOT put it down, but i havent been back since... :-(

its a big book, i got through about half of it!

Answer 3

There are alot of online band bios on the band's official sites, fan sites and websites like wikipedia (of course). There is a book biography of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana called Heavier Than Heaven.

allmusic.com has band biographies and other info on musical artists, too. There is also a video documentary called About A Son about Kurt Cobain.  

Answer 4

there is a jim morrison book. which is nothing like anything you named..its 90 times better!

Answer 5

I know for sure there is a Nirvana autobiography cuz my friend has it. I just don't know what its called. Metallica i think has one, i think its called "So What!". I don't know if you are into them but the singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers has an book called "Scar Tissue" and its awesome

Answer 6

"Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis from Red Hot Chili Peppers is the best
