over yesterday and today i read another musician's autobiography (some of u know those r my favorite books to read) this time i read fieldy's book "got the life" which came out in 09' fieldy is the bassist from korn i read head's book a few years back (head was a guitarist from korn) anyway.. here's what i have to say about fieldy's book first off.. this book is really good.. a lot of great details and a lot of things i never knew about.. both in the band as well as in his personal life the book is also lengthy.. a good 270 pages or so his early life was very crazy with his mom and dad being alcoholics as he got older his parents seemed to get their lives together but he never knew God or how to have peace or anything.. and he was also holding onto a lot of the pain of his past with his parents fighting all the time and his dad being unpredictable and oftentimes abusive so basically he felt like God was just something for 'religious nuts' and went through life doing what he wanted and achieving great success but he was still on pills, alcohol, cheating on his wives (he had 3) and everything just in case someone wants to read it, i won't say how he changed, but basically he ended up changing and believing in God this led him to be a completely different person.. to the point where he actually spent his whole first year (after giving his life to Christ) apologizing to people lol he was a real jerk before he found God.. he was the type to really go for the jugular and make people cry from what he'd say or how small he'd make you feel today he really makes a big effort to check himself basically its a great book i'd recommend it to everyone peep it if you want.. its not pretentious but it definitely carries with it a good message check it out to see who he was, how he got success, how he was a jerk, how/why he changed, and what the aftermath of that created.. also to learn about his relationships, his marriages, and to learn more about korn, music, and the industry here are some screen captures from the book that i thought were pretty cool/interesting: lol why do chicks like to be treated like SH*T!? ^ very true.. i wholeheartedly agree ^i'd definitely recommend that advice to a struggling couple.. ask yourself.. is it worth the fight? a lot of times u should just be cool about things even though they get under your skin.. remember love is first patient!!

Autobios r realy cool.I have MJs(and a book of convos with him) and Cobain's journals.I enjoy having their own words,it's almost like having a conversation with them on intimate creative subjects and stuff
