Slash

by Slash

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS | October 10, 2008 | Trade Paperback

From one of the greatest rock guitarists of our era comes a memoir that redefines sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll.

For the first time ever, Slash tells the tale that has yet to be told from the inside: how the legendary band Guns N' Roses came together, how they wrote the music that defined an era, how they survived insane, never-ending tours, how they survived themselves, and, ultimately, how it all fell apart. Slash is a window into the world of the notoriously private guitarist and a front seat on the roller-coaster ride that was one of history's greatest rock 'n' roll machines, always on the edge of self-destruction, even at the pinnacle of its success. Slash is everything Slash is: funny, honest, ingenious, inspiring, jaw-dropping . . . and, in a word, excessive.

    Excellent read!

    As a fan of reading, and, Guns N' Roses, I figured what better way to spend my time than to read a book about Guns N' Roses! When I began to get more in to their music, I especially enjoyed Slash's exceptional guitar solos which made me interested in reading about his more than chaotic life.

    I had a feeling this book would be entertaining, and entertaining it was. As a 19 year old who appreciates old classic rock, I really got the opportunity to imagine in depth what the life of a rock star, back in their time, was really like. There are almost shocking facts that you may never have guessed without reading his novel. It's especially interesting to learn what or who their lyrics are about, or who the people in their videos are. You get to go inside the daily lives of the band that make you truly understand the popular phrase, "sex, drugs, and rock and roll".

    This novel takes you through the ups and downs of the wild lives of these young and talented musicians to make it to the top. If what you're looking for is an entertaining page turner that you will not want to put down, this novel is absolutely for you!

    Appetite for self-destruction

    Essentially about excessive alcohol and drug addiction. A good read, but a little boring in the later chapters if you aren't a die-hard Guns N' Roses fanatic. Those wanting to know about rock star debauchery will not be disappointed.

    A true tale of a rockstar.

    Slash wrote this book to explain some things to his fans. He is very honest about whats in this book. He takes you through his life and tells you everything you have ever wanted to know. His life truly did revolve around Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll. I am sure everyone can relate to something you will read in this book, I can relate to a lot of it. It shows you how much he has really changed, how much he has overcome. He still has his place on top after everything he has been through and personally, I admire that. I think everyone should read this book. Being a rockstar isnt all its cracked up to be according to Slash himself.
