The legend of Thunder spans 27 years and is studded with 18 Top 40 UK singles, as well as a haul of gold and platinum albums. They've had their share of breakups and re-formations, and their story, told in their own words and illustrated with rare photos and memorabilia, reflects both the price and the perks of rock fame.
Author Joel McIver, whose other titles include the bestselling Justice For All: The Truth About Metallica, has captured the life and times of Thunder through individual recollections and a many mirrors of perspective. Coupled with numerous personal artefacts, photographs, memorabilia and revelations, Giving The Game Away intimately portrays a band of young hopefuls as they transform into arena mega-stars.
With a foreword by Andy Taylor, producer of Backstreet Symphony and guitarist for Duran Duran and Power Station, Joel McIver has crafted the definitive, authorised biography of this much-loved British rock band.
Giving The Game Away includes curated music. Whilst you read the book, hear the classic songs of Thunder and surround yourself with the music that surrounded them.
