THE REVIEWS

Hear it for yourself

  • 5 out of 5 stars Bob Daisley is an all-time A leaguer.

    "This book is fantastic, and for once believable. So many times rock and metal musicians embellish stories because they were inebriated or too high to accurately remember the events as they unfolded. Bob, who is obviously well read, kept notes and a journal which gives me the confidence they accurately depict what happened." - Jane D

  • 4 out of 5 stars - Great book

    "This is a very detailed book about the life and journey of a great person. I really enjoyed reading about the Blizzard of Oz years. Gave me a better understanding of those first two Ozzy albums. Also, enjoyed reading about his time with Rainbow and with Gary Moore. Great book filled with facts. Probably the only book I haven't put down" - Arturo H.

  • 5 out of 5 stars - If you have any interest in Music and Hard Rock, Get this book!

    So much detail about one of the most amazing careers in music history. Lots of background details about all the amazing bands Bob has been in. A brilliant song writer and a brilliant person in general that has written an amazing book. A must for any fan! - Jeff G

  • 4 oug of 5 stars - An incredible account of one of Australia's most prolific musicians

    "It's incredible how understated Bob is in the Australian music world. This book gives you an absolutely eye opening account of an incredible life lived so far working with some of the greatest people in the rock and metal world. Whether it be with Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio, Ozzy Osbourne or even in later years with the likes of Jimmy Barnes, Bob's resume is nothing to be sneezed at. Having a journal from the mid 70s and dozens of incredibly candid photos firmly cements Bob's story in fact." - Jim J
