Rock Biographies - "I Am Ozzy", Ozzy Osbourne

This is one of these books you can read many times and they will still make you laugh. It's easy to describe funny things in a funny way, but when it comes to Ozzy's childhood, I think it was far from "fun"... Nevertheless, he made me laugh describing his mom cooking or his first attempt to work and earn some money.
I am fan of Ozzy for years, but I knew him mostly as Black Sabbath member, so I learned a lot from this book, especially about his private life and habits. Looking on his life based on this book, my conclusion is, that without Sharon this biography wouldn't be even half as long as it is.

Summarizing, if you're looking for a very easy to read and funny story, this position should be on your "to read list". I would even recommend to give this book as a present to somebody who isn't Ozzy's fan, because after reading it he might become one ;) And if not, he will have a lot of fun at least.

Be like... Axl Rose

Some Rock Stars don't pay attention to what they wear and they always look amazing. And some of them have created an individual image, full of details, which is copied by many people. And I think Axl belongs to the second group. He's somewhere between classic "I don't care what I'm wearing" rock style and Glam Rock style. What I like about him is that it is easy to point out very characteristic details of his style. Let's see some pictures of him first (I know that you know who it is, but please):

Favourite rock covers

Sometimes I'm wondering if songs presented below would be as much attractive to me as they are if there wouldn't be a "smoother prototype version" :) However, rock is always better than everything else. Please enjoy and let me know what's your favourite rock cover!

Be like...Motley Crue

One of the biggest Glam Rock stars ever and one of my personal favorite rock bands. In the 80's they looked more like girls than boys, but music they made was definitely saying that they are guys and they know how to rock.

Dress up like a rock star

It can happen that during carnival you'll be invited to a costume party. Or, even better, YOU, as a big Rock fan, will organize a Rock Stars themed party. Far better than all superheroes, movie stars and other Hawaiian ideas...
Of course you can always buy a ready costume, but just imagine how much fun can you have by creating it by yourself, or at least by collecting all necessary items. In this case your outfit shouldn't be only "inspired by...". You have to choose the most recognizable things about the Rock Star you would like to change into (it can be clothes but also behaviour) and emphasize it as much as possible.
Here you go my top 10 Rock Stars who are in my opinion very easy to copy :)

Be like...David Coverdale

When I think of David Coverdale, the first thing coming to my mind is his hair (after his amazing voice of course :) ).
