More Than a Rock Memoir

This is the explosive, untold story of one of the founding architects of punk rock. Terry Chimes was there when it all began. He lived the chaos, the roaring crowds, the breathless tours, and the relentless pressure of a life defined by rhythm and rebellion.

But when the noise faded, the real journey started. From the dizzying heights of playing with The Clash, Generation X, and Black Sabbath, Terry chose to walk a completely different path. He traded the drumsticks for a profound spiritual awakening and a reinvented life as a successful chiropractor.

A raw look into the punk explosion era, survival on tour, and the spiritual insight needed to find true healing.
