Druggy Stardust & The Empress of Clubland cover

The second book release in rocker Adam Bomb's arsenal is an illumination through the dark New York City club scene during it's decadent rock 'n roll heyday. Picking up where his first book, `911 Is Disconnected... So This Is Rock & Roll' left off, `Druggy Stardust' is a cautionary tale describing the ins and outs of the rock music biz, and the ups and downs of falling in love and starting a family in the cocaine glitter palace known as Limelight. The dichotomy of a love story in a musical world fueled by sex and chemicals, this book is Adam's secret diary. It chronicles the behind-the-scene stories of Adam's work with such musical luminaries as Johnny Thunders, John Paul Jones, Chuck Berry, Steve Stevens & Billy Idol, record producer Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Aerosmith), Hanoi Rocks and Michael Monroe, touring with Motorhead, Ronnie James Dio, and a long list of other music legends and Hollywood celebrities. It is a star-studded romp through the parties and hotspots of the elite New York City club scene and the gritty London rock discos of the late `80s and `90s. Druggy Stardust is an apologue of the louche, with incredible photos by some of rock and roll's most renowned photographers like Mick Rock, Bob Gruen, Mark Weiss, and Limelight in-house photographer Miss Chickie. Insightful and entertaining, this true-life story is a peek behind the velvet rope and the dressing room doors when rock stars ruled the world.
