Peter Frampton
About this listen
From his early rise to fame to battles with his health, this revelatory memoir by legendary guitarist Peter Frampton celebrates the life of a rock icon.
Do You Feel Like I Do? is the incredible story of Peter Frampton's positively resilient life and career told in his own words for the first time. His monu-mental album Frampton Comes Alive! spawned three top-20 singles and sold eight million copies the year it was released (more than 17 million to date), and it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in January 2020.
Frampton was on a path to stardom from an early age, first as the lead singer and guitarist of the Herd and then as cofounder - along with Steve Marriott - of one of the first supergroups, Humble Pie. Frampton was part of a tight-knit collective of British '60s musicians with close ties to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Who. This led to Frampton playing on George Harrison's solo debut, All Things Must Pass, as well as to Ringo Starr and Billy Preston appearing on Frampton's own solo debut. By age 22, Frampton was touring incessantly and finding new sounds with the talk box, which would become his signature guitar effect.
Frampton remembers his enduring friendship with David Bowie. Growing up as schoolmates, crossing paths throughout their careers, and playing together on the Glass Spider Tour, the two developed an unshakable bond. Frampton also shares fascinating stories of his collaborative work with Harry Nilsson, Stevie Wonder, B. B. King, and members of Pearl Jam. He reveals both the blessing and curse of Frampton Comes Alive!, opening up about becoming the cover boy he never wanted to be, his overcoming substance abuse, and how he has continued to play and pour his heart into his music despite an inflammatory muscle disease and his retirement from the road.
Peppered throughout his narrative is the story of his favorite guitar, the Phenix, which he thought he'd lost in a fiery plane crash in 1980. But in 2011, it mysteriously showed up again - saved from the wreckage. Frampton tells of that unlikely reunion here in full for the first time, and why the miraculous reappearance is emblematic of his life and career as a quintessential artist.

Loved the prologue with his tale of troubles in Panama. It’s the stuff of legend! Thereafter, it’s linear with stories about his early childhood and secondary schooling where he was friendly with Bowie. He provides a lot of insight into the music industry, recording, writing, playing and added to that, he gives an often difficult account of his personal life. This story feels honest, it’s packed with names and although I’m not quite finished, it’s up there with similar bios by Keith Richard and Patti Smith. Highly recommended.
Entertaining and interesting

He takes us on a journey from his early childhood and family situation, through his early musical adventures, to making an impression on influencial movers and shakers in the music industry at such a young age, he was just 19 yrs old when Humble pie were rocking the world, and eventually his hitting the big time with a world record selling live album and how that affected him and his relationships and his confidence and career.
Towards the end of the book he does talk about the autoimmune disease IBM that has affected his abilities, and how he's adapting to new challenges. It's all here, warts 'n all, the lows and the highs, the marvelous adventure that he's living and sharing.
A deeply joyful read.
