MOTÖRHEAD Guitarist PHIL CAMPBELL On 2018/19 Book Release - “It's Not Gonna Be About My Life... It's Just Gonna Be About The Funny And Outrageous Shit That I've Been A Part Of And Witnessed”

Anthony Morgan of Metal Forces recently conducted an interview with Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell, who discussed his band, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons (formerly known as Phil Campbell’s All Starr Band), which includes Campbell’s sons Todd, Dane and Tyla, plus vocalist Neil Starr. During the interview, Phil discusses his upcoming book, expected in 2018 or 2019.

“It's not gonna be about my life. It's just gonna be about the funny and outrageous shit that I've been a part of and witnessed. That's gonna have to wait until I get this new album out, until I get the two records out. So 2018, I'll probably spend most of that year doing that. I've prepared, though; I've got everything in place for a book and I'll probably prepare it even more next year, and get it into place. Then I'll take a month or two off with whomever I'm doing the book with, because there's someone who's gonna help me write the book and sort that out.

"So, that won't be out until 2018, 2019, but it has to come out because it's so funny. It will be, the stories. It's just gonna be 30 or 40 amazing things that will put a smile on people's faces. It won't be about what school I went to, or that boring crap. It won't be an autobiography, no."
