Rex Brown Spills The Truth About PANTERA, His Personal Life & His Problems With Alcohol Abuse - Book Review Available!

Wow! If you thought that the PANTERA "Behind The Music" was shocking and very controversial, you must pick up Rex Brown's NEW book "Official Truth, 101 Proof: The Inside Story Of Pantera" (available now via DeCapo Press). 

On this very honest piece of literature, Rex does not hold back and spills the truth about the good, the bad, and the ugly, when it comes to the glory years of PANTERA, as well as the demise of the band.  He also gets very personal by talking about his family matters while growing up, and how this affected him as an adult. He also discusses the relationship he had with the mother of his twins, and how they literally saved his life.

Consequentially, Rex discusses how the lifestyle that went hand in hand with being in PANTERA almost cost him his own life after he got heavily addicted to alcohol. And how everything he has lived through thus far, has harmed him both physically and mentally in ways that would have killed most human beings.

Rex also shares plenty of industry insight, since he was the business head behind the PANTERA machine. He actually also helped to get DOWN the proper business treatment in order for the band to succeed. 

Honestly, all we can say is READ THIS BOOK! Not only is it a great read, but it will open your eyes about how the music industry works and how hard it is for a BIG band to succeed while being constantly tempted.

Right now we are giving SIGNED copies of the book at this link: http://hornsuprocks.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-rex-brown-official-101-truth.html

According to Brown, “This is what went down, from my point of view. If you read it, everything should be clear, at least from where I was sittin’!” He continues, “I’ve simply tried to shed some perspective and insight onto my life so far, and the many beautiful people that have surrounded it. With all the trials and tribulations, sacrifices and tragedy, I’m very grateful for even having a chance to put a smile on the fan’s faces. That’s what it all boils down to after all.”
