Frank Bello
Born into a family of five, Frank Bello grew up in difficult circumstances. His father abandoned his wife and children. Left with no male role model, Frank found inspiration in heavy metal bass players, following their example and forging a career with Anthrax from his early teens - first as a roadie, and then as the group's bass player.
International stardom came Frank's way by the mid-to-late 1980s, when he was still in his early 20s, but tragedy struck in 1996 when his brother Anthony was murdered in New York. Although the case went to trial, the suspected killer was released without charge after a witness, intimidated by violent elements, withdrew his testimony.
Two decades later, Frank is a father himself to a young son. Like many men who grew up without the guidance of a dad, he asks himself important questions about the meaning of fatherhood and how to do the job well. This is the wisdom which Fathers, Brothers, and Sons offers listeners.
Frank doesn't preach or seek sympathy in his book. Instead, he simply passes on the wisdom gained from a lifetime of turbulence, paying tribute to his loved ones in a way that will resonate with us all.

would be, since musician bios/memoirs can be hit &
miss.
Pleased to say that both are very well done. Worth the
listen if your a fan.
I've seen a few comments complaining about the length of the book, but I'd rather have a shorter book that doesn't feel forced... The same way I'd rather have an album with a shorter track list, as opposed to being full of filler, just to pad the length.
Seems like a genuine dude...

In a culture where the differences in people are sought out and somewhat exploited, “Fathers, Brothers, and Sons” hones in on the similarities of people; even if those people have nothing but one small-ish thing in common. I enjoyed reading, well in this case listening to the book from the mouth of Frank himself. It was like we were sitting down somewhere conversing about music, parenting, love, loss, social calamities, and what I loved about this book was my ability to relate to everything Frank wrote.
He is candid , humble and didn’t hide behind his bass in order to tell me how he championed through some pretty hefty instances that would have crippled some. Humility, honesty, and a need to be a better human being for his wife and son, push Frank through life. Breaking those barriers that are often repeated is a feat and I could tell that he was proud to have reached the point in life where acknowledging the wins isn’t hot air spewing from his blow hole. You can tell that from the jump!
Thanks Frank. I really appreciate the message you conveyed with this book. Thank you for taking the time to share how hard you have worked in your profession and to achieve your dreams. I’ve definitely received some takeaways that I didn’t realize and some that mirrored my own journey in this life catapulted by my love of music.
So, horns up on your book, music career, and I wish you the best in all your endeavors!
