Publisher's Synopsis
Echoes of Distortion brings together ten stories that capture the soul behind some of rock's most iconic figures. These are not traditional biographies or nostalgic tributes, but brief narrative pieces where legends step down from the stage to reveal their most human, uncertain, and fragile sides.
From Led Zeppelin's final rehearsal before the silence, to an unexpected night with Angus Young on a lost highway. From the bitter confession of a Keith Richards who can no longer find time, to a Springsteen fighting to keep the promise of rock alive through rain and memory. Each story is a frozen moment, a crack through which doubt, pain, passion, and vertigo emerge.
Pink Floyd records under the weight of an unforgettable absence. Lemmy of Motörhead confronts his own legend. Janis Joplin sings to no one in a hotel room. Freddie Mercury unleashes his final roar to the wind, with more love than rage. Black Sabbath stares into the mirror of their origins, and Hendrix, from a corner of London, invents the future with every chord.
This book doesn't tell the history of rock-it listens to it. Within its pages, you'll hear the hum of an old amplifier, the silence before an encore, the held breath of someone who knows music doesn't always save, but always reveals.
Echoes of Distortion is a literary homage to the truth that lives behind the scenes-a love letter to those who turned noise into refuge, and the stage into a battlefield.
