“Hell On Wheels – Tour Stories: Remembered, Remixed, Remastered” Book Announced

In 1994 Rockpress published Hell On Wheels, now, in 2024, author Greg Jacobs has curated 20 of the original collection’s best stories and added 54 new ones to create Hell on Wheels – Tour Stories: Remembered, Remixed, Remastered. This new 373-page book includes recollections from members of bands like Bad Religion, All, Dead Kennedys, X, The Specials, Rocket From The Crypt, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Ramones, The Get Up Kids and many more. Hell On Wheels – Tour Stories: Remembered, Remixed, Remastered will be released on October 25th through booksellers and is now available for pre-order via University of Hell Press, pre-orders will be shipped by September 25th and will be signed by the author.

This compilation of tour stories, told by the band members who lived them, is so much more than sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, but, of course, that’s in here too. There are stories of scrapes with biker gangs, dog attacks (on stage!), the Berlin Wall coming down, broken bones, floods, dangling a promoter out of a window by his ankles, Saturday Night Live and so much more.

There will be books events including Poorman’s End of Summer Rockshow‘ at Newport, CA’s Original Pizza and a book release party at San Diego, CA’s Live Wire Bar on September 20th
