Deryck Whibley Walking Disaster review, recensie en informatie
- “We broke some shit, he pissed in the room. It’s fuzzy…there coulda been all kinds of other shit that went down. God knows.” (Tommy Lee, van Mötley Crüe en Methods of Mayhem)
- “Deryck Whibley is one of those gifted songwriters and performers who has the rare ability to straddle multiple rock genres successfully. Punk, Pop Punk, Rock and Metal. I’ve watched him smoke bands live that are supposed to be much heavier, and impress the legends whose songs he has covered. Deryck’s story is one of true triumphs and challenges. He has been to Hell and back, and returned shining and stronger than ever. He has so much heart. The struggle is real. The comeback is bigger than the setback.” (Matt Pinfield, Amerikaanse tv-presentator en discjockey)

Flaptekst van de memoir van Deryck Whibley de zanger van Sum 41
This candid memoir of music, fame, and endurance from Deryck Whibley, lead singer of Sum 41, follows his rise from a punk kid to an international star.
From his earliest days growing up in Canada, Deryck Whibley was a punk who loved music and couldn’t wait to achieve something bigger and better than the humble path that lay before him. Whibley was raised by a single mom and their small family constantly moved from place to place, so he was used to being the new kid, starting fights (or finishing them), and connecting with people who shared his sensibility for chaotic fun and loud music. Sum 41 was born of a group of friends who loved to jam, shared a DIY ethos, and were determined to be rock stars one day.
Walking Disaster is Whibley’s story, but it is also the untold story of Sum 41. Whibley takes you backstage, into the recording booth, and through the highest highs and lowest lows of the band whose story is inextricably woven with his own.
With his insightful, earnest, and genuine voice, Whibley gets real about fame, fortune, and the music industry. Detailing everything from winning at the MTV Video Music Awards and being nominated for a Grammy to revisiting his high-profile relationships and friendships, contending with invasive paparazzi, and suffering from health issues that brought him to the brink, Whibley offers a forthright and unforgettable memoir.
Deryck Whibley (21 maart 1980, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and record producer who plays rhythm guitar and keyboards. He is the founder and primary songwriter of the band Sum 41.
