Brief Description

Item#: 10720343
    The behind-the-scenes story of how Guns N' Roses came together to became one of the biggest rock 'n' roll bands, how they made it through the insanity of the tours, each other and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, then ultimately fell apart.
 
 

Description:

A no-holds-barred memoir by the Guns N` Roses guitarist, documents his childhood as a biracial son of divorced artist parents; his relationships with such figures as David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, and Seymour Cassel; and his observations about the 1980s music scene. Slash tells the story of how their band, Guns N' Roses, got together, wrote their impressionable music, dealt with the tours and each other, then how they finally fell apart.

Very Interesting

magickitty from Salt Lake City, Jan 7, 2008

This is a great book for those who already know the metamorphasis that bands go through and an informative eye-opener for those who've never traveled the road. Never ceases to amaze how children survive unsupervised upbringings to become amazing adults.

Great gift for music lover

Anonymous Jan 7, 2008

I bought this book for my husband for Christmas. He has always been a G&R fan and loves to play guitar. He read it all within the week of Christmas and said that he found himself emersed in the story. He did say that there were several typos and the editing could have stood a closer look but he truly enjoyed learning more about one of his favorite bands and musicians.

If your not a fan you will still love the stories!

adamfromtx from Texas, Dec 22, 2007

I am a huge GNR fan and have been since I was a kid. This book has a ton of stories about Slash's life and how GNR formed and life during their rise to fame up to Slash's unceremonious departure.
