Description
After more than twenty years in the music business Bret Michaels has sold twenty-five million records and scored an amazing fifteen chartbusting Top 40 singles including the timeless #1 smash hit “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” Today, this award-winning, multi-platinum superstar’s career continues to move at lightning speed following VH1’s hit reality dating show Rock of Love with Bret Michaels—which aired for three seasons and featured a bevy of ladies competing for an all-access pass to Bret Michaels’s heart and to share in his superstar lifestyle.

Bret Michaels is, if nothing else, a true survivor. He has survived a lifelong battle as an insulin-dependent diabetic, a well-publicized near-fatal car crash in 1994, and the countless musical trends and fads of the last two decades. Now, Michaels continues his rebirth through this provocative chronicle of his life, in the tradition of Motley Crüe’s The Dirt.

Roses & Thorns reveals everything about Bret’s rockstardom, from the Pennsylvania creation of “the ultimate garage band,” to MTV’s banning of their explicit videos and their 2007 sold-out summer tour. Because he’s diabetic, Bret never participated in the drug- and booze-fueled partying like the others, but he was at the center of this movement of over-indulgence and has plenty of stories to tell. Also, Bret dishes on his short but notorious relationship with Pamela Anderson—which resulted in an infamous sex tape that circulated on the Internet and was released as a DVD in 2005. Readers will be captivated and entertained by Roses & Thorns, a fascinating account of one of the most enduring rock musicians of the past two decades.

An excerpt from Bret's forthcoming autobio:

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN:

Like, I so had a connection with um, er-- oh f***, what's her name?? Anyway, yeah, while the other girls would be doing me, I couldn't keep my mind off of her. It was like, destiny that I ended up doing The Love Of Rock. Being in Poison was something that just led me to this. Of course, because the other guys need money and stuff, I do the tours every summer. Hell, how hard is it really to keep singing "Aint Nothin' But A Good Time" twenty quintzillion times?

'Course, the really big pain in the ass is that all these chicks want me to serenade them with "Every Rose Has It's Thorn." I loved that f***ing song until I had to sing it to every last freaking one of those girls on that show. Now when I like, sing it live for an audience, I'm thinking of all those girls. What a curse, man!

But yeah, getting back to what's-her-frickin'-name, she was my soulmate. My destiny. If I could have remembered her name, maybe we'd still be together. But you know, I got another one comin' over tonight. And who knows? Maybe she'll end up being my like, true f***in love.


I'd rather read C.C. DeVille's autobio. I think it would be funnier.

Dr. Chris Evil, I think Destiny was her name. Hemingway he is not!

I'll take your word for it, because verifying the info would be a waste of my time.

Bump: Added the cover image to the first post. The publication date has been pushed back to June 23rd, and the title has been slightly altered (quoted from the pre-order solicitation) "so as to better reflect the drama and passion of Bret's personal journey".

Believe it or not, after a delay of seven years this book has been put back on the schedule for publication. See the first post for updated details.

... and it's been cancelled again. This time the book's listing page has been completely removed from Amazon. I put "available soon" over the link in the first post, but who knows anymore. Will Roses And Thorns be the Chinese Democracy of autobiographies?
