“If you think you've heard all the Alice Cooper stories, think again...Though Alice was the iconic face of the band, Dunaway was the brains behind many of their best-known songs...It's safe to say that, without Dunaway, the group's now-legendary look and sound would have been vastly different. There might not even have been an Alice Cooper.” —Village Voice

“A wonderfully detailed memoir” —Connecticut Post

“The original Alice Cooper Band were one of the all-time greats in what I consider the golden era of classic rock, and helped pave the way for all the arena rock bands that followed in their wake. As a kid I spent countless hours listening to their records and staring at the pictures on the sleeves, pondering the menacing gang dressed up in glitter drag, in the pre-internet days when your favorite bands were still a mystery. Dennis Dunaway had a front row seat to all the craziness, and lucky for us, came out the other side with his memories intact.” —Chris Shiflett, Foo Fighters

“Dennis Dunaway stands out as one of the most progressive bassist of the time. His unique sonic vision and absolute brotherhood connection to Glen, Michael, Alice and Neal created a raw, unpretentious, by the seat of your pants sound that captivated and inspired. And what is equally amazing is Dennis's absolutely clear and detailed recollection and articulation of the journey they took.” —Richard McDonald, Vice President of the Fender Musical Corp.

“The multi-faceted autobiography, penned with former Rolling Stone staffer Chris Hodenfield, appeals not only to hard core Alice Cooper fans like myself, but to readers with a general interest in the "rock biography" genre, as well as those who enjoy immersing themselves in the twists and turns of a whole-hearted adventure and an enduring love story set primarily in the heady music scene of the 1960s and '70s.” —The Newcastle Herald (Australia)

“An informative, entertaining, and surprisingly cheerful work. The pacing is fast, the chronology is tight, and the balance of personal, professional, and cultural details is spot-on. ... Dunaway's update tone and flair for storytelling lift this work a step above the average musical memoir. Recommended for music historians, children of the 1970s, and, of course, Cooper fans.” —Library Journal
