What started out as a few Montreal drug addicts scamming welfare make-work programs back in 1994 has become a global empire of hedonism known simply as VICE. From a 16-page newspaper about punk bands and violence to stores, a clothing line, VICE Films, VICE TV, VICE Records, viceland.com, etc., VICE has become much more than a way for three guys to get laid. It's become a lifestyle, a degrading and disgusting lifestyle of sex and drugs and rock and roll and death. This book is a collection of the irreverent, hilarious and downright scary gonzo journalism that brought three losers from the crack houses of Le Plateau to the deluxe apartments of Manhattan.


The Vice Guide to Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll Reviews


  • Oriana

    I've said before that Vice at this point has been so cool for so long that it's almost no longer cool to admit to liking it. But as I have also said before, I. Don't. Fucking. Care. Vice is sheer and utter genius. There is no amount of irony or hipsterism or band-wagonry that could make me stop loving it.

    So after the DOs and DON'Ts book, I just had to put this back in the bathroom. And how-lee shit, I forgot how mind-bogglingly incredible it is. After an interview with the three of them at the beginning, which reminds you just how scummy, scuzzy, drug-addled, and amazing they all are, we are right into "The Vice Guide to Eating Out." (No, kids, we're not talking about going to restaurants.) I realize I may be hazing into flaggable territory here (although I think it would be wrong to talk about Vice without getting filthy), but the advice given is so good, so clever, so dirtily, dirtily brilliant.... well, let's just say it kinda makes me want to find a lady to try it out on.

    I will try not to detail every single article as I go through this masterpiece, but c'mon. The next one is "The Vice Guide to Sucking..." well, you know.

  • lindz

    Absolutely my most favorite book in life. Have read this book probably 20 times, and I wish I was kidding. I can't wait until the kids are old enough to read this, actually. Honest gonzo journalism with it's finger firmly on the pulse of....well.....everything. Can't say enough good things about all the Vice Guides. I wish I could give it more stars.....

  • Alexandra Sullivan

    Vice magazine has been ruining my life for years. This book sums up why I'm glad it did. Hedonism and nihilism in perfect harmony. Yes, it might be offensive, sexist, and racist at times, but their intent is in the right place- to break every taboo and barrier that exists. Their twitter describes Vice as the "all-powerful, all-consuming whore of Babylon" and I say keep it coming. If you're new to the "being cool" game, this might help.

  • Ian!!!

    This is the most fun I ever had reading. Who would have though a bunch of junkies trying to cheat the government could turn out such a fantastic product?

  • John

    A very inappropriate counter-culture book that his very entertaining to read. As someone who doesn't' indulge in any of these activities, it is fun to wonder about and to equally entertain the absurd before coming back to the fact that I don't enjoy or find value in hedonism.

  • Carol

    This book made me laugh thanks keep up the good work

  • Ashley

    So cringeworthy and dated.

  • Jerry

    Interesting time piece of gonzo journalism. Contemporary Vice has somehow managed to keep up the general feeling of the original, but lost a lot of its spirit.

  • c(g) starling

    tons of small articles, fillers, and tid-bits. the greatest of "VICE," taken from years of hard work. Some of the language and views i could do without, but that's whats great about VICE: they don't censor anyone. In fact, i don't even think they edit anyone. Full of cliche's and wacky ass pictures, this book is perfect for long trips.

    A few examples of what you'll find in here:
    1) Vice guide to eating pussy [or the the Vice guide to sucking cock!]
    2) Vice interview with a fat guy
    3) Why interviews with musicians suck
    4) What Ever Happened To [lunatic Norwegian death metal rockers like Maniac]
    5) Vice guide of DOs and DONTs, in fashion, including the ever-so popular right ball hanging out the daisy-dukes.

    That's right. This book has all of it. Even some of if you don't want.h

  • Drew

    This book is great for one simple reason: it talks about sex, drugs and rock n' roll and educates those of us too chicken to indulge in copious amounts of all three. For instance, I learned that Mennonites buy sperm to keep their population genetics straight. And I also learned that if you put something blatantly sexual on your resumee, there's a good chance you'll get at least one call back.

  • nicki

    you will be in a que as 3 people have already asked to borrow it from finding it lying around. A perfect toilet book.

  • KidPolaroid

    This is a good reference for people who know little to nothing about sex, drugs, or rock & roll. Who doesn't love Vice anyway?!

  • Daniel

    This book will help you pull more tail then wearing a wolf t-shirt on an Indian reservation.

    It also has lots of tips on feasting on the fine poon. The correct answer is NOT holding your breath!

  • Christie

    AWESOME. An owner.

  • samuel

    i wish that someone gave this book to me when i was 14.

  • Christine

    So funny and realistic. Love the list of Guilty Pleasures and the "How To" sex articles. We have this on the shelf and occasionally I pick it up to reread something and laugh until I cry! Still!

  • Karrie

    one of the funniest manuals about life ever. Learn sex tricks, and what drugs do to you. There is so much to be read and learned and laughed at. Give it a whirl!

  • Catalina
