Sex, Drugs And RocknRoll

has anybody read the book called 'The Right Hand of Rocknroll'?? It's written by the security manager of the band during the Slippery and new jersey tour. He gives details about the wild side of the band. Groupies, drugs,....it's very interesting.

It's interesting but it doesn't have anything really new. The author wrote very respectful and didn't wash dirty laundry or something.

I found the book very interesting, not only because 1/3 of it is about his work with BJ. Plus it was the first English book that I read. I'm a little proud of me that I even didn't need a dictionnary LOL.

can anyone who have the book can give us details and information for those who cant get the book?? because it seems very interesting.

I havn't read that book bvut here in Australia I think its called "Star Man"... I had a look and it had some pics of BJ in the 80's and seemed to focus on them a lot.. wouldn't mind getting it sometime

Yes the book is called Star Man. I read it and bought it from amazon.uk. Paid alot for it since it was bought overseas. $11.00 in the UK, I paid 34.00 not realizing the pricing there. But I thought it was a good book with some real interesting stories about the band. The writer was respectful but you still get some VERY interesting groupie stories . Its worth the read if you never really heard any of the stories and want to get a glimpse into how much the band REALLY enjoyed the whole sex, drugs and rock and roll! Has a section on Kiss, Paul McCartney and a few others.

It's an autobiography of a bodyguard who worked for Paul McCartney, Cher, BJ and a few others. The book starts when he was a kid and tells how he get to this job and ends when he quit the job. I found it interesting. It's not only about groupies but also about other stuff.

The book is avaiable at amazon and any other bookstore that sells imports from England. I bought mine used at amazon Germany, this way it's wasn't that expensive. The complete title for the book is: Star Man - The right hand of Rock'n'Roll. The author is Michael Francis.

oi, £11 !

It looks quite good; Star Man: The Right-hand Man of Rock and Roll:...


An explosive behind-the-scenes inside account of the rock music world. Life changed for Michael Francis at the age of 21 when Paul McCartney walked into his father's boxing gym to watch his friend John Conteh preparing for a fight. Paul hired Michael as his security guard, beginning a thirty-year music business career in which he worked with such legendary names as Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Osmonds, Sheena Easton, Frank Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Cher and Kiss. As tour manager, Michael was responsible for every aspect of their safety and their comfort, from making sure they were not mobbed on stage to making sure they got paid. Whatever they wanted, he got hold of. To some of them he became close. He was best man at Jon Bon Jovi's wedding, and provided personal security for five years for Cher at her Malibu home. He shared their wildest excesses, their highs and their lows; he saw their fears and, all too often, their loneliness and paranoia. Sometimes hilarious, frequently shocking, always perceptive, Star Man is the outrageous, uncompromising and brutally honest story of one man's life with the biggest stars of rock.
