Summary: One of the best reads ever
Comment: A friend at work recommended this book. I was going on a week vacation in Mexico and needed something to read. This was by far one of the best books I have ever read. Andy Summers is like the Forest Gump of rock musicians. It is hard to believe how many lives and people he influenced. In a very humble way he describes encounters with everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton (whom he sold his 59 Les Paul just minutes before he recorded "Fresh Cream" with it) along with his wild drug experiences with John Belushi. Unfortunately for me, the book was so good that I finished it in 3 days. I am still working on the second book I brought.

Summary: The Incredible Life of Andy Summers
Comment: Reading this book was like riding a roller coaster.

I'm a huge 'Police' fan, and when I saw Andy had an auto biography out I ran out and bought it right away.

At first, I had a hard time with it. Andy writes with gret attention to detail; it's very artistic, and a bit 'lulling'.

But once you get past his childhood and into his 'musical years', it's incredible! Andy's wit is so dry and so clever, you want to sit and have a few lagers with him and just listen to him tell his tales.

In the true form of a Gentleman, Andy doesn't really dish dirt on his fellow Policemen. This was 'nice'...but everyone wants a little juicy gossip on their favorite celebs. As the book wore down and the break up of the Police was imminent, you suddenly realize that Andy is not going to say anything terribly mean (or truthfully mean) about Sting or Stewart.

I was a little disappointed with this last fact, but I still reccomend this book not only to every Police fan, but to every Guitarist. Andy played with all of the greats, and his stories about being on the road are priceless!

Summary: Inside the New Wave
Comment: This is an epic tale of a New Wave musician that spans his beginnings in the '60s to his triumphs in the '80s. His vivid and comprehensive telling of the rise and ultimate break-up of the legendary New Wave band The Police is enthralling and magnificent. If only all books on popular music could be so good.

Summary: A Must Read For Any Police Fan!
Comment: Totally entertaining from cover to cover. Packed full of great stories about the band including some never before heard stories about the making of the albums and the studio sessions. The chapter with Andy hanging out with John Belushi had me rolling with laughter!
If your a fan of the Police, you're missing out if you don't read this book!!


Editorial Reviews:

“A disarming, surprising literary memoir by the ex-Police guitarist . . . A rollicking you-are-there history of the 60s–80s rock era.”---Entertainment Weekly
 
In this extraordinary memoir, world-renowned guitarist Andy Summers provides the revealing and passionate account of a life dedicated to music. From his first guitar at age thirteen and his early days on the English music scene to the ascendancy of his band, the Police, Summers recounts his relationships and encounters with the Big Roll Band, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, the Animals, John Belushi, and others, all the while proving himself a master of telling detail and dramatic anecdote.
 Andy’s account of his role as guitarist for the Police---a gig that was only confirmed by a chance encounter with drummer Stewart Copeland on a London train---has been long-awaited by music fans worldwide. The heights of fame that the Police achieved have rarely been duplicated, and the band’s triumphs were rivaled only by the personal chaos that such success brought about, an insight never lost on Summers in the telling. Complete with never-before-published photos from Summers’s personal collection, One Train Later is a constantly surprising and poignant memoir, and the work of a world-class musician and a first-class writer.
