"Adios, Motherfucker" by Michael Ruffino is an electrifying journey into the heart of '80s hair metal excess, seen through the eyes of an unapologetic participant riding the wave of rock n' roll's most debauched era. Ruffino, bassist of the notoriously wild Unband, serves as our irreverent guide through a landscape littered with the absurd, the dangerous, and the downright hilarious. From backstage brawls and near-catastrophic pyrotechnic mishaps to encounters with rock legends and the fringe characters who orbited the scene, this book is a no-holds-barred account of a musical epoch defined by its excesses. With wit as sharp as a smashed guitar's splintered neck, Ruffino offers up stories that oscillate between profoundly insightful and delightfully deranged. Imagine diving headfirst into a world where Ronnie James Dio, Anthrax, and Lemmy from Motorhead are just characters in the sprawling, chaotic narrative of your life. "Adios, Motherfucker" is more than just a memoir; it's an homage to an era when rock n' roll was a lifestyle, a hazard, and an art form. This updated edition, revised to stoke the flames of nostalgia while lighting up the present, is an essential read for anyone who believes that music isn't just heard; it's lived.
