Lay it on the line : a backstage pass to rock star adventure, conflict and Triumph / by Emmett, Rik,author.;
"From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll. While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, "I was never in it for the sex and drugs--ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my it--the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play's the thing ... " Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist's mindset, Lay It on the Line offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. "It" was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe. It also includes photos from Emmett's own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph--and came back two decades later. Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit ... a great gig, a catalytic door-opener ... it was a role that led to other adventures--and these are the stories he's chosen to tell ..."--

Thanks a lot, Mr. Kibblewhite : my story / by Daltrey, Roger,author.;
"It's taken me three years to unpack the events of my life, to remember who did what when and why, to separate the myths from the reality, to unravel what really happened at the Holiday Inn on Keith Moon's 21st birthday," says Roger Daltrey, the powerhouse vocalist of The Who. The result of this introspection is a remarkable memoir, instantly captivating, funny and frank, chock-full of well-earned wisdom and one-of-a-kind anecdotes from a raucous life that spans a tumultuous time of change in Britain and America. Born during the air bombing of London in 1944, Daltrey fought his way (literally) through school and poverty and began to assemble the band that would become The Who while working at a sheet metal factory in 1961. In Daltrey's voice, the familiar stories--how they got into smashing up their kit, the infighting, Keith Moon's antics--take on a new, intimate life. Also here is the creative journey through the unforgettable hits including My Generation, Substitute, Pinball Wizard, and the great albums, Who's Next, Tommy, and Quadrophenia. Amidst all the music and mayhem, the drugs, the premature deaths, the ruined hotel rooms, Roger is our perfect narrator, remaining sober (relatively) and observant and determined to make The Who bigger and bigger.
