This is a story of Bez, the man with the maracas and Shaun Ryder's sidekick in the Happy Mondays. Bez was the embodiment of the eighties 'Madchester' scene - when asked by a journalist why he took so may drugs he replied, 'It's my job.' "Freaky Dancin'" is a rollercoaster ride through the excesses of rock 'n' roll. It is also the story of how a petty criminal, with no future, got up on stage one night at The Hacienda and found himself famous. 'No one has truly and more fully lived the rock lifestyle since "The Who's Keith Moon". This is the most honest, funny, outrageous, drug-fuelled rollercoaster of an autobiography since "Howard Marks". A cult classic.' - "Mirror". 'Bez emerges as a dangerous lunatic whose entire life is motivated by the pursuit of drugs. But, like his book, he's almost impossible not to like. Top one.' - "Mix Mag". 'Bez presents his life as a triumph against the odds, the pills and thrills of a hyperactive kid who couldn't settle on anything except drugs and petty crime but fronted one of the most important bands of the past ten years.' - "The Times".'Bez's life story reads like that of a man who stole the world, sold it, bought it back on the cheap, and then left it on the back of a written-off jeep somewhere in the Caribbean.' - "New Musical Express".

 The epitomy of Madchester

This has to be the most enjoyable autobiography I have ever read - I still pick it up from time to time to read about Bez's escapades. Running from the law, scoring drugs, always seeking a buzz. Above all, he has a wicked sense of humor and the book will make you laught out loud, especially if you can relate to the era!

Top 100 Music Reviewer

Wasn't sure if i'd get into this book. Yes i like bez's character,but can he tell a story?
He certainly can,this is a really funny book that feels as if he's talking to you personally,trying to remember what happened at certain periods of his life.
Not only is it funny,it makes you see his life as something other than a drug and booze mess.
A lot of it is actually quite touching and really shows a humane side to him a lot of people might asume he doesn't possess. It's a really easy read aswell,some books drag on a bit,getting bogged down in uninteresting facts,this doesn't.
Really glad i picked it up now,pleasant surprise.
