Synopsis

Sonic Warrior is a collection of insane-but-true stories from the career of rock radio legend Lou Brutus. Each chapter is a separate tale that careens around his forty-plus years of covering concerts, interviewing music's biggest stars, and influencing generations of radio listeners. Starting with the first show he attended and continuing to the present day, stops along the way include Live Aid in Philadelphia, the Arctic, Live Earth in London, and the New Jersey Turnpike. Whether having his life energy drained through the palm of his hand by Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, watching cocaine get snorted off a stripper's ass in Pantera's dressing room, or drooling in his own lap after smoking some kind of mutant mind warp demon weed with Snoop Dogg, Brutus gives a hilariously unvarnished look at the realities of the music industry from his fly-on-the-wall, "I'm just the guy here to interview the band" vantage point. The book also features a foreword by his friend Corey Taylor, Grammy Award–winning singer for Slipknot and Stone Sour.

About Lou Brutus

Lou Brutus, for lack of a better term, is a "professional music fan." He lives the dream of millions by traveling the Earth attending concerts and interviewing rock stars. He's spent his life blasting tunes on the radio, becoming the first to play all your favorite bands, and gaining access to literally thousands of music events. He has severe hearing damage. Lou has smoked weed with Hunter S. Thompson and Snoop Dogg, chugged ale with Spinal Tap's "Stonehenge" dwarfs, been in a tour bus that ran over a guy on the NJ Turnpike, and puked on the floor of many of the world's most prestigious concert venues. He also sings in a couple of crazy bands, one of which has gotten him death threats. If he sells enough copies of this book he will buy a KISS pinball machine. Brutus lives outside Washington, DC, with his family, including Darla the Wonder Dog, subsisting on a diet of black coffee, Rock N Roll, and tinnitus.

I’ve know Lou since the mid 90’s when we worked together in Chicago. Hands down he is the best interviewer and story teller on the planet. Can’t believe it took him this long to get this thing printed. Even if you aren’t in the music biz, you’ll love the stories and won’t believe everyone he has met......more

Goodreads review by Joe on August 16, 2020

This is an awesome book of consistently fun and surprising stories from all the greats of rock music over the last few decades. I like the way Lou wrote this because he is a very well established DJ who you would think would get used to rubbing shoulders with famous musicians, but the language used......more

Goodreads review by Kim on May 24, 2020

I’ve been listening to Lou since I moved to Charles Town, WV a couple years ago. I’ve always respected him and loved listening to his stories. When I heard he was going to be releasing a book based on just that I preordered it as soon as I could. As time passed I almost forgot I ordered it until it......more
