A book description reads: A jaw-dropping tell-all from the lead
singer of the 1980s supergroup Ratt: the groupies, the trashed hotel
rooms, the drugs—and just how much you can get away with when you’re one
of the biggest hair metal stars of all time.


In the mid-1980s, Ratt, alongside MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, and QUIET
RIOT, were laying down the riffs and unleashing the scissor kicks that
would herald the arrival of music’s most flamboyantly debauched era. Now
with Sex, Drugs, Ratt & Roll, Ratt frontman and chief rabble-rouser
Stephen Pearcy divulges all the dirty details of the era when
big-haired bands ruled the world.


Stephen was primed for a life of excess from an early age - his
father died of a heroin overdose when he was twelve, and by the age of
fifteen, Stephen was himself a drug addict. When Stephen met the
thrill-seeking Robbin Crosby, he knew he’d found his perfect partner in
crime - both in music and partying. Ratt’s 1984 debut single, 'Round and
Round', became one of the top-selling metal songs of all time, but it
was the band’s off-stage escapades that were the stuff of legend.


“Our tour bus is like our pirate ship, it’s where we rape and
pillage,” said Pearcy in 1987. Now Pearcy’s memoir reveals all the rock
star excess - the partying, the women, the $2,000-a-day drug habits -
letting fans see into this harrowing hair-metal lifestyle and what it’s
really like behind the scenes when you’re a rock star.


Pearcy has announced three solo shows for the US, with more dates due to be announced soon. His schedule can be viewed below:
