Mötley Crüen vokalistina vuosina 1992–1997 toiminut John Corabi on paljastanut tuoreessa Talkin Rock with Meltdown -radio-ohjelmassa, että aikoo julkaista ”Horseshoes And Hand Grenades”-nimisen elämäkerran 12. huhtikuuta 2022. Apuna kynäilyssä on toiminut Paul Miles, joka osallistui myös Mötley Crüen historiikin kirjoittamiseen.
Haastattelussa Corabi kertoo, että kirja kuvaa hänen vaiherikasta elämäänsä aivan sen ensihetkistä lähtien:
”It goes all the way back to, obviously, me being born, but it talks about my parents. My grandparents were first-generation Italians from the Calabria section of Italy. My mother’s side of the family, I talk about them. It talks about me being born, my childhood being very kind of ’Wonder Years’ — whatever — and then just it completely derailing and falling apart. And it goes into everything. There’s a lot of things that fans don’t know about me — some of my marriages. It talks about, again, my youth, childhood. I dive into the Uncle Jack stories.
Basically, the book is really kind of a testament. I knew at a very young age that I wanted to do what I’m doing for a living. Now, has it panned out the way that the magazines, the articles — you know, Learjets, limousines and all that other stuff? Probably not. But I’m still pushing forward, still trying to find my slice of the pie. But it’s really kind of a testament to perseverance. And it goes right from the time I took my first breath to maybe a year ago.”
