There have been many books written about Johnny Thunders and the
Heartbreakers, but only by people who weren't there. Walter Lure
was-from the band's chaotic beginnings on New York's Lower East
Side, through a now-legendary UK tour with the Sex Pistols and the
Clash, and on to a yearlong stay in London-eyewitness and midwife
to the birth of UK punk. Now, he tells his story in To Hell and
Back, a thrilling ride through the clubs and dives of two
continents, in the company of one of the most notorious junkies in
rock 'n' roll history. Drawing from his own contemporary journals,
Lure paints a vivid portrait of life in both cities, during perhaps
the most crucial musical uprising of the past forty years...the
music, the characters, the clothes, the fights, the drugs, the
orgies, the lot. Lure lays bare his own battle with drugs, and
reflects upon his life after the band's split-rising to become a
Wall Street fixture yet still finding time to make music.
