Dive into the maelstrom of Antmania with Your Money or Your Life, the long-overdue autobiography from renowned songwriter and guitarist Marco Pirroni. This is the essential account of a shy Kings Road punk kid who became the musical architect behind the global Antmusic phenomenon.

From his early days playing guitar with a nascent Siouxsie and the Banshees at their 1976 debut 100 Club gig, Pirroni chronicles the breakneck period leading up to the split of Adam and the Ants in March 1982. Discover the story behind co-writing the classic number one singles ‘Prince Charming’ and the Ivor Novello-winning ‘Stand and Deliver,’ alongside the million-selling album 'Kings of the Wild Frontier.'

• Chronicles Pirroni's journey from a 1970s punk scene participant to pop stardom.
• Details the creation of the 'Antmusic' phenomenon alongside Adam.
• Features anecdotes involving major entertainment figures including Liberace, Liza Minelli, and David Bowie.
• A revelatory and caustically hilarious account ending with the 1982 split.

This hardcover edition is written in English and published by New Modern. It features 336 pages detailing Pirroni's experiences through the 1970s and 1980s.
