By Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre

Eighteen years after his debut "Soloalbum" Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre writes it, the autobiography that nobody expected. A greatest-hits album, a best-of: not a solo album - but the soundtrack of a self-destructive life.


In the legendary Hotel Chateau Marmot on Sunset Boulevard, Stuckrad-Barre watches himself writing - and tells of twenty years of nightlife, drugs, fame and loss of reality, of standing up and falling. No research, but pure life.

"The cocaine allowed me to turn around manically for days and nights, I poured alcohol on top of the tiresome tachycardia, fell asleep completely numb, the Rohypnol, which the new heroin counseling dealer had brought along to me because, according to his expert eye diagnosis, I have to come back down once in a while. When I woke up, it took me a while to establish a connection between the time of day indicators visible through the curtains and the time of day that was most recently remembered, I only distinguished between light and dark, day and night. Sometimes I must have slept 26 hours, sometimes only two, it was all not so clear and should never be. Ascent and fall in one go. I would only have to write it down, sometime, but of course until the last chapter - without a retarding second act (where the slow stuff happens) directly into the catastrophe."
