March 15, 2008, 16 years ago
As previously reported, former BONFIRE bassist/co-founder Joerg Deisinger has written his memoirs with the aid of BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai. The book is due to start shipping in May. An official website where the book can be pre-ordered will be up and running soon. In the meantime, excerpts from Fire And Fame are available on MySpace at this location.
The cover art for the book can be viewed on the left. It was created by graphic artist Thomas Riess.
According to the official Fire And Fame bio the book "traces Deisinger’s career as a professional musician, from his early days as a starstruck AC/DC fan that wanted nothing more than to be on stage, through Bonfire’s formative years and runaway success in Europe that included major tours with ZZ TOP and JUDAS PRIEST, to his eventual departure from the band in the early ‘90s. It’s not a tell all book airing out the band’s dirty little secrets, nor is it an attempt to outdo MÖTLEY CRÜE’s debauched classic The Dirt or cash in on Bonfire’s continued success. Instead, Fire And Fame is behind-the-scenes look at how a kid from a small town with the seemingly impossible dream of becoming a rock star actually managed to pull it off. It’s a book for anyone who has ever had a similar dream, for those who have lived it, and for those who continue to do so."
