Rockers and Rollers: An Automotive Autobiography - Tapa blanda

By night, Brian Johnson sings in the biggest rock 'n' roll band on the planet.But by day, AC/DC's charismatic, flat-capped frontman gets to indulge his passion for all things automotive.Cars and rock 'n'roll, they were made for each other.

Car racer, car collector and all-round car enthusiast, Johnson is an incurable, certifiable petrolhead who can't remember a time when four wheels didn't feature as large in his life as music.

Starting, as a young boy growing up in Tyneside, with an old steering wheel and his imagination, a lifelong passion took root early.And through cramped teenage fumbles in an old mini and clapped-out, hygienically challenged tour vans, to chauffeur-driven, leather-trimmed limos and a sideline as a successful racing driver, it's been there ever since.

By turns, surprising, joyful, poignant and usually laugh-out-loud funny, Rockers and Rollers is the story of man with an insatiable appetite for life and a glimpse into the extraordinary world of AC/DC, set soon to overtake the Beatles as the biggest selling-band in history.

'A collection of bawdy, Spinal Tap yarns' Scotland on Sunday

Brian Johnson - frontman of AC/DC, the biggest rock'n'roll band on the planet - is famed for liking motors and telling stories. In Rockers and Rollers he's put them together to make one of the funniest books you'll ever read on cars and music.

Taking us from his Tyneside roots to mega-stardom - from his first wheels to living on hygienically-challenged tour buses, from chasing a loose car bonnet down the road to exploding a haggis, from almost giving up music to be a car-roof specialist to racing cars for the sheer hell of it - Rockers and Rollers is a hilarious story of what a man will do for speed given half the chance.

You'll not only get an insider's account of life in the greatest rock band of all time but also some hilarious tales of what happens when a car nut gets his hands on the keys to some of the best motors on earth.
