Description:Fire And Fame is a book featuring the memoirs of bassist Joerg Deisinger, a founding member of the German '80s hard rock band Bonfire, translated and co-written by Carl Begai, a key writer for the Canadian metal magazine BW&BK. It traces Deisinger's career as a professional musician, from his early days as a starstruck AC/DC fan that wanted nothing more than to be on stage, through Bonfire's formative years and runaway success in Europe that included major tours with ZZ Top and Judas Priest, to his eventual departure from the band in the early '90s. Neither a tell all book airing out the band's dirty little secrets nor an attempt to cash in on Bonfire's continued success, Fire And Fame is a behind-the-scenes look at how a kid from a small town made his dream of becoming a rock star come true. It is a book for anyone who has ever had a similar dream, for those who have lived it, and for those who continue to do so.
