Nope - not written by Neil, so it will be nothing like Ghost Rider. Or did you mean Neil's new book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 yeah I meant Neil's new one call Travelling Music...goes another road trip and writes about the music he listens to along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good read. Whereas GR focused more on his tragedies, this one is more wide in scope. He discusses things from his youth, young adulthood, and comtemporary stuff, and how the music he listened to effected him. Pick it up. I enjoyed it more than GR.

RR, check Books A Million (bamm.com). It's in and out, I guess cause as soon as they come in us freaks order them all! Every so often, bamm.com will say "ships in 3-5 days". Then, if you check back two or three days later it says something like "5-6 weeks". If you check day to day, you can get lucky, I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdog Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 Got it today. For those that are wondering, it's a book in which the boys discuss the bands catalog album by album. including the live discs with a short ending chapter on the R30 tour. I've read through 2112 and personally I've liked it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostGirl Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I got Contents Under Pressure last night at Barnes & Noble...looks pretty good, esp. with all the pictures in it. I just LOVE pictures! I have to say I like being greeted in this fashion in the introduction: "Greetings, O Prog Rock Heads of Discerning Taste...." ~M. Popoff Just getting into the reading, but seems a very worthwhile purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LerxstLady Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I really enjoyed the book a lot. There are so many neat anecdotes from the guys, and you get an idea of what life on the road was like for them. There's some personal information in there that I was a bit surprised to read, but nothing "shocking" or anything like that. The photos alone, though, are more than worth the price of the book - especially for us girls who happen to have a bit of the lust bug for one or more of the guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetmiracle Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Got mine from Amazon a few days ago... The writing style is fun. Popoff loves to play with words, and he can be quite humorous. So, of course, can the guys! Tom Rush? Playing the plumbing? Mr. Ed? The pictures are great, but I would have liked more text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
