The Beast [Paperback]

"An action adventure story starring a Jack Daniels, cocaine-fuelled fighting machine that just happens to be a vocalist in a rock band. Take the extremities of "The Dirt", remove most of the drugs, replace them with violence and you've pretty much got "The Beast" . . . This is the opportunity to tap into the mind of one of the maddest rock stars of all time." "--Metal Hammer"

Paul Di’anno has done it all and lived to tell
the tale in this thoroughly entertaining – and
completely obscene – account of his life so far. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Paul Di'anno is one of rock's wildest figures. Now he reveals the shocking stories of his life on the road, including the moment he kicked out his own guitarist's teeth, chasing journalists from venues, shooting out car tyres with a rifle and the truth about his arrest for carrying a sub-machine gun. His tale is one of drugs, guns, alcohol; of extended periods banged up in prison and his time fronting the mighty Iron Maiden. His controversial antics off-stage are even more shocking than his existence under the spotlights. He has battled drug addicitions and tumbled from the heights of fame to the pit of bankruptcy. This is a look into the dark and disturbing times of a man who had spent his whole life courting his demons.

The Beast is not a book designed for music aficionados
who wish to read about the original Iron Maiden singer.
It's more of an action adventure story staring a Jack Daniels,cocaine fuelled fighting machine that just happens to be a vocalist in a rock band. Take the extremities of The Dirt,remove most of the drugs, replace them with violence and you've pretty much got The Beast.

Once you've read this book you won't want to step into the
same pub as Paul Di'anno, never mind spill his pint. This isa very honest account of an excessive existence that the singer has chosen not to glamorise. Although Paul kicking his own guitarist's teeth out and chasing journalists from venues are amusing there are more serious topics contained within this tome. Di'anno confesses to wife beating that led to a spell in the LA penitentiary as well as admitting that he was holding Maiden back and that Bruce Dickinson is a superior vocalist.

This is the opportunity to tap into the mind of one of the
maddest rock stars of all time. It's no mistake that certain stores have the book filed under Serious Crime. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
