De: Alycen Rowse

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Told from behind rock and roll's most notorious blue eyes, We've Got Tonight is the true story from one of rocks most notorious and sought after groupies. Most notable as the woman with legendary Who bassist, John Entwistle, when he died, Alycen Rowse spent almost three decades backstage seducing some of the world's most desirable rockers. From the bed of David Lee Roth in 1984 to the wildest years with rock gods Metallica to the side of the stage during the infamous AC/DC death concert all the way through to the new millennium and into that infamous Las Vegas bed, Alycen will tell it like it is and take you back to where it all really started...Salt Lake City. Lars Ulrich of Metallica labeled the Mormon capital where she and her cronies ruled the rock world "wilder than a town full of rebelious preachers daughters" while Chris Holmes of WASP fame declared it (as so many other rockers have) " the best groupie scene in the world" in the 80's flick Decline of Western Civilization Part 2. But Alycen didn't stop in just Salt Lake City and neither do her adventures behind the stage. With more new, never before talked about rock lovers than all other groupie books combined, We've Got Tonight will take you on an unrepentant, no excuses journey of debauchery with the likes of Motley Crue, Kiss, Def Leppard, The Scorpions and so many more until she lands in John Entwistle's infamous bed. Fresh stories and a no excuses attitude take this book into a different groupie world and tattles on what really happened during some of rock and roll's most notoriously historical moments. Never before has there been told such a big adventure backstage...and We've Got Tonight is only half the story. It may not be perfect but it sure is fun. So if you want to know what backstage is like when the groupies take off the rose colored glasses, then this is THE groupie book for you. With an updated format including pictures this version is available only on Amazon!

No apologies!! No regrets!!!

I absolutely love this book. Alycen's unapologetic attitude is what I love about it. Damn if she didnt always do it on her own terms!! No regrets!
I say Good on her!!
I was a teenager in the 80s. I went to every rock concert that came through my city. 99% of the shows, I was in the very front...wishing I was backstage and wishing I was Alycen. And so was every other girl at those shows...even if they wont admit it!! I was living vicariously through her while listening!
There is something about these rockstars, especially starting in the 80s. It cant be explained. If you know, you know! It was a glorious time for music!! Hearing about Alycen meeting and knowing these extremely talented and hot musicians gives you a first hand look about what it was all about.
I heard a rockstar say recently that RnR isnt for everyone. It finds its people. Alycen is its people. I am its people. We are still its people!!!
Side note: I love the fact that she could always call her mom, no matter what! I was fortunate to be able to do that as well. But some are no so fortunate.Thank you Alycen Rowse for telling it like it is!!!

Her storytelling

Fun, easy listen. Very addictive . Miss those old rock n roll days. Sorry they treated her so bad at the end

good story... horrible narrator

The story was good and was what I expected. unfortunately it was the narration that drove me to distraction. Really, a Midwestern girl who sounds like she was just dropped down from a posh upper middle class London home. As me and her are approximately the same age I could really relate to some of the rock stars that made her swoon way back in the day. I too was a huge Metallica fan and James was also my so-called man. As a hormonal 16 year old I too dreamed of jumping on a tour bus and spending a day or two with this handsome man having the time of my life. But looking back now is a woman in her 50s I can only think of one thing shame on her mother!! I'm now the mother and grandmother of several beautiful young woman who I also encouraged to be free spirits and live their own lives but not as a compromise to their self-esteem. I know Allison made these choices of her own free will but we have to remember that psychologically she was still a child though she had the body of a full-grown woman. Unfortunately even though almost 40 years have passed, societies thoughts and feelings on these men has not. if you have artistic talent money or power you have the freedom to do whatever it is you want. As recent cases have come to light most of the young men and women who have been a part of this scene do not come out unscathed or unharmed. I hope Allison is living her best life ever and as we know most of these rock stars fell by the wayside. Sure there are a few exceptions such as Metallica and Bon Jovi who continue to entertain us to this day. In closing if you're 18 years old and want to put on your little leather mini skirt and chase whoever is the idol at the time go for it but let's quit sacrificing our 14 and 15 year old girls to these grown men.

Stupid performance

She was English and the groupie was from Salt Lake City sounded ridiculous
That’s all

Awesome book

What a crazy fun life she lead. It was nice to go on her journey. I would love to know what she is up to now

EXCELLENT

Even though, as i understand, this was read by AI, it was an easy listen. The story was fascinating. It's one of my own dreams, from the same era, the same bands, "that could've been me!!" 🤩🤩

The voice is all wrong!! So many mispronounced words.

This could have been a really fun book to listen to but the English accent for a girl from the Midwest just doesn’t work for me. Maybe I will read the actual book but the AI voice ruins it for me.

Well written!

A good listen made this a fast one that I didn't want to put down. Even the AI voice with it's British accent grew on me! You will enjoy it. I found it very believable.

This seems to be an honest account of things.

I wish this had been read by a person. AI reading has no personality, doesn't pronounce things right and has no intonation. The fact that it doesn't seem human takes away from the story in general.

Why Oh Why the British accent AI voice

Did anyone care about how this book was being read? Obviously No! British AI voice makes this book impossible to listen to. Did no one want this book actually listened to?
