Summary

Sami Yaffa is a bass guitar legend, an icon of the rock world, and an uncompromising walker of his own way, who rose to prominence as the bassist of the mythical Hanoi Rocks. A man of lights and shadows, and the embodiment of street credibility, Yaffa has recorded with Bruce Springsteen and Slash, played with the New York Dolls and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, crawled across Helsinki pubs and restaurants with Anthony Bourdain, and performed at Carnegie Hall. This is his story.

A must listen for any music lover

The narration is superb with Sami’s emotion and humour shining through. From his early days pre and during Hanoi Rocks up to his latest venture with Michael monroe. His description of times in London, New York, Finland , Stockholm, LA and Majorca brings each place to life as well as the characters he worked with. This book is perfect! I didn’t want it to end.
