Frank Bello, bassist with the legendary New York thrash metal band
Anthrax since 1984, has sold over ten million albums, travelled the
globe more times than he cares to count, and enthralled audiences
from the world’s biggest stages. His long-awaited memoir would be
a gripping read even if its pages only contained stories about his
life as a recording and touring musician. While those stories are
indeed included—and will blow your mind—Bello also focuses on
deeper subjects in Fathers, Brothers, and Sons. Once you’ve heard
his life story, you’ll understand why. Born into a family of
five, Frank grew up in difficult circumstances. His father
abandoned his wife and children, and Frank’s mother moved heaven
and earth to keep them fed and educated. Left with no male role
model, Frank found inspiration in heavy metal bass players,
following their example and forging a career with Anthrax from his
early teens—first as a roadie, and then as the group’s bass
player. International stardom came Frank’s way by the mid-to-late
1980s, when he was still in his early twenties, but tragedy struck
in 1996 when his brother Anthony was murdered in New York. Although
the case went to trial, the suspected killer was released without
charge after a witness, intimidated by violent elements, withdrew
his testimony. Two decades later, Frank is a father himself to a
young son. Like many men who grew up without the guidance of a dad,
he asks himself important questions about the meaning of fatherhood
and how to do the job well. This is the wisdom which Fathers,
Brothers, and Sons offers readers. Despite the emotive nature of
these topics, Fathers, Brothers, and Sons is a funny, entertaining
read. A man with a keen sense of humor and the perspective to know
how surreal his story has been, Frank doesn’t preach or seek
sympathy in his book. Instead, he simply passes on the wisdom
gained from a lifetime of turbulence, paying tribute to his loved
ones in a way that will resonate with us all.
