In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, John Corabi recounts his life from the mean streets of Philadelphia to the Sunset Strip. Take a look behind the scenes at Corabi's time fronting Mötley Crüe, Union, and The Dead Daisies, as well as his time playing rhythm guitar with Ratt and even his stint as a long-haul trucker. Whether it's detailing his parents difficult divorce, his family's dark history of abuse, his run-in with a serial killer, or simply the best way to arrive at a wedding--which maybe is by helicopter and maybe it isn't--he pulls no punches and outlines the good and bad of it all in this raucous autobiography.
