Father is a rock star. How to be a parent while still being a cool guy

When we hear the word 'rocker', we often imagine tough men with painted faces, long hair, in leather jackets, who shout something loudly from the stage, enjoy drinking, riding motorcycles, and having fun with women. Yet among them are many exemplary family men and wonderful fathers. Alexey Evdokimov, a music journalist and author of the book 'Doom Metal Lexicanum', interviewed rockers playing in various metal genres to show how they live beyond the stage. If you think this is boring, you are mistaken: backstage, naturopathy, child abduction, children participating in recording songs, joint travels, living with two families, court battles with ex-wives - these are just snippets of the stories of the heroes of this book. You will learn: - What fathers are willing to do if they are not allowed to see their children. - How musicians manage to combine creativity and parenting. - How rocker's children feel about their fathers' careers and participate in them. Review: 'Being a father is a great joy. It is also a great responsibility. Alexey and the heroes of his book show us how important it is to maintain a balance between family and creativity, how they complement each other. And most importantly: being a good father, an example for your children, is a conscious choice that every man makes, regardless of what he does.' - Dr. Den, father of two daughters, author of the blog @dr.denalex
