This book is a backstage pass to the ups, downs, and all-out
craziness of arena rock-deep discussions with Rod Stewart, jamming
with legends like Mick Jagger and Justin Timberlake, gaining
groupies, and striking out solo. Stevie Salas was one of many boys
coming of age in the 1980s-when the American dream was rock
superstardom. As lead guitarist for a San Diego band, Salas played
backyard parties and school dances and even scored the music for
the cult classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. When he
auditioned for Rod Stewart-where he was the youngest band member by
a decade-Salas's life truly hit a turning point. Salas pulls no
punches to describe the initial skepticism and hazing he faced as
the youngest member of Stewart's band, the night he stood up for
himself on the tour plane, and the emotional late-night talk with
Rod Stewart that restored the frontman's faith in his young,
untested guitar player and his new group that was struggling to
find its groove. Yet they became a band of brothers and formed a
camaraderie they share to this day. When We Were the Boys revolves
around the year Salas began as an inexperienced musical prodigy and
finished as a seasoned rock 'n' roll veteran-more mature as a man
and musician.
