Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was doing well, but I began to get bored. I was allowed to drink water, but not hard liquor. I got a tattoo artist to pierce me, and my daughter got a tattoo.
#2 I needed to do something creative after I got well. I decided to record a country album with my bandmates. I had never written country songs before, but I was able to learn how to play them by listening to country music.
#3 I did the vocals for Weekend Warrior myself, as I was drunk and passed out when Mikey recorded them. I expected him to go back and redo them, but when I heard them, I was like, Nope, sounds good the way it is. I’m gonna have to give you a vocal credit on that one, dude.
#4 I produced and mixed Relapse in a couple weeks of all-night sessions, and then I decided to get sober. I took it a day at a time. I had done it before, and I knew I could do it again. I surrounded myself with the things I like and avoided anything that would make me agitated.

#5
I had been a good little rock star and was being sober and well behaved. . I timed it. I knew it would take twenty-five seconds before Angie and her assistant, Jesse, turned the corner away from the house on the way to the airport. Before they were gone thirty seconds, I got in my car and went on a seventy-two-hour Hunter S. Thompson–style drinking binge.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
I was born in 1958 in Havana, Cuba. I was a third-world country that used dying fetuses as kindling for the poor. I had 60 percent hearing loss, and I was a mess long before I entered the music industry.
#2
I grew up with my uncles, aunts, and grandmother in Miami. My grandfather, who was famous in Cuba, was transferred to Wisconsin to do research for a cattle sperm company. But his relationship with my grandmother suffered, and he began seeing other women.
#3
I had many run-ins with the Grays as I was growing up. I thought they were the Three Wise Men, but they were actually from another planet who were keeping an eye on me.
#4
I grew up with my grandmother, uncles, and an aunt, who was also named Carmen. They never forced me to learn English, and I didn’t have to lift a finger for anything. I loved growing up with them.
#5
I was left-handed, and because of that, I was bullied at school. I eventually snapped and threw a plastic chair through a window, which led to me being kicked out of kindergarten. I was home schooled after that.
#6
I was nine years old when I first heard the Rolling Stones, and I was hooked. I immediately went out and got a Stones T-shirt. Other kids in the neighborhood wore Monkees shirts, and made fun of me for backing a loser band. I was like, Fuck you, they’re awesome. The Monkees and Beatles are losers.
#7
I got my first guitar when I was twelve, and I spent hours practicing the chords my grandfather had taught me. I eventually traded it for a cheap electric and a shitty little amp. I learned power chords and some simple scales and licks.
#8
My first friend was a kid named Scott Whittinghill. We met through Little League at age ten, and as soon as we made eye contact, we knew we were complete future misanthropes and didn’t belong on this mortal coil. We hated everyone, including our parents.
#9
I was always getting in trouble as a kid, and I didn’t care. I was like, I dare you to do something about it! I kept doing stupid things and getting punished.
Insights from Chapter 3
#1
Al’s stepdad, Ed, told me the story of how he met Al’s mother, Maggie. He had known Al for two years already, and he was living with his grandmother. Within a year of moving to Chicago, his grandfather moved out, and they eventually got divorced.
#2
I was involved in racing in the 1960s, and I was good. I was able to compete in the NASCAR circuit in 1962 and 1963, when I got a factory ride. But then Ralph Nader came along, and all the factories backed out of racing.
#3
Al’s grandmother moved back to Florida when Al was in middle school, and his mother and I spent more time traveling because of the company's demands. Al was a great athlete, but he also had a rebellious side.
#4
Al was 14 and in his freshman year of high school when he got into trouble. He was hanging out with a crowd that used drugs, and he and another boy were arrested for jail breaking. They were released after their attorney claimed they hadn’t used force to jail break.
#5
Al’s parents were not aware of his drug use until he was caught stoned on the front lawn. They tried to help him by sending him to a rehab clinic, but there was no change in his behavior. He eventually moved to Colorado with his mother.
#6
Al’s move to Colorado was good for him. He was able to turn his life around and graduate high school with good grades. He went to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley with a music major, and did well enough that he was accepted at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
#7
In November, we got a call from her brother in Miami, who said that the news had reported that Al had been arrested on drug charges in Colorado. We paid for the attorney and bonded him out. Since he wasn’t physically present at the deal, it was plea bargained down where he got probation out of it.
#8
I was close to Ministry when they were touring and developing, but after Al started using heroin heavily, he pulled away from me and my wife. We didn't speak for more than five years.
#9
When he was growing up, he was a great kid. But when he chose a different path, he felt guilt for having done it. His appearance is a part of that. He's saying, If you only judge my appearance, I'll scare you away, but if you get to know me, I'm a good person.
Insights from Chapter 4
#1
I was a good baseball player in high school, but I was also a junkie. I was between the jocks and the stoners, and I wanted to be a jock on my own terms. But I was thrown off my baseball team twice because I wouldn’t cut my hair.
#2
I was a hippie and a star baseball player, which made my life tumultuous. I did get laid for the first time when I was thirteen, but I was also arrested for stealing a diabetic needle from a Walgreens when I was fourteen.
#3
I had to go back to school with a buzz cut. The longhairs thought I was a square and wouldn’t talk to me.
