About this product

Product Information

From one of the greatest rock guitarists of our era comes a memoir that redefines sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll He was born in England but reared in L.A., surrounded by the leading artists of the day amidst the vibrant hotbed of music and culture that was the early seventies. Slash spent his adolescence on the streets of Hollywood, discovering drugs, drinking, rock music, and girls, all while achieving notable status as a BMX rider. But everything changed in his world the day he first held the beat-up one-string guitar his grandmother had discarded in a closet. The instrument became his voice and it triggered a lifelong passion that made everything else irrelevant. As soon as he could string chords and a solo together, Slash wanted to be in a band and sought out friends with similar interests. His closest friend, Steven Adler, proved to be a conspirator for the long haul. As hairmetal bands exploded onto the L.A. scene and topped the charts, Slash sought his niche and a band that suited his raw and gritty sensibility. He found salvation in the form of four young men of equal mind: Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, Steven Adler, and Duff McKagan. Together they became Guns N' Roses, one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time. Dirty, volatile, and as authentic as the streets that weaned them, they fought their way to the top with groundbreaking albums such as the iconic Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion I and II. Here, for the first time ever, Slash tells the tale that has yet to be told from the inside: how the band 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. This is a window onto the world of the notoriously private guitarist and a 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. This is a candid recollection and reflection of Slash's friendships past and present, from easygoing Izzy to ever-steady Duff to wild-child Steven and complicated Axl. It is also an intensely personal account of struggle and triumph: as Guns N' Roses journeyed to the top, Slash battled his demons, escaping the overwhelming reality with women, heroin, coke, crack, vodka, and whatever else came along. He survived it all: lawsuits, rehab, riots, notoriety, debauchery, and destruction, and ultimately found his creative evolution. From Slash's Snakepit to his current band, the massively successful Velvet Revolver,Slash found an even keel by sticking to his guns. Slash is everything the man, the myth, the legend, inspires: it's funny, honest, inspiring, jaw-dropping . . . and, in a word, excessive.

  • Just Your Typical "Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll" Thing

    That cliche of "Never judge a book by its cover" was never so true when it comes to this product. What made me interested in this book in the first place and made me read it thoroughly in just two days is the simple fact that it was about one of my greatest music idols in my teenager years - and still is today - Slash. I thought the book interesting based on the fact that it is almost all about Guns N' Roses, which is no surprise, since the band took a great deal of his lifetime. Since I was a band fan, most of the happenings that are described in the book are not exactly a surprise. Anyone who followed the band through MTV or music magazines somehow knew what was going on until they disbanded. However, it is great that finally Slash, who was a part of it, decided to put into words his ...

  • Die Hard GNR Fan......?

    For all you die hard original GNR fans this book is a must have. There will be no questions left unanswered as to the bands destruction. All rumors are squelched about the events leading to the break up of one of the biggest rock bands of all time. It is not all gloom and doom however. There are pleanty of funny as well as serious stories from the conception of the group as well as the road and every day life. This book is not entirely about the GNR years though. Slash has lead an amazingly riotous life and he discloses everything of importance startig with early childhood up to the present. SLASH is also the most open and unyeilding book I have ever read about what excessive drugs, alcohol and over indulgence can do to a person or both physically and mentally.

  • Waxl Rose and his band of merry addicts

    Slash, thanks for your open and honest portrayal of your whacked life. It's hard to believe that such a boozed-up, drugged-out, irresponsible gypsy lifestyle of debauchery like yours could possibly lead to success but hey, you did it! Good on you. More to the point, congratulations on your success despite Axl. We met way back at a show in 1999 and I remember thinking, wow, this guy is totally f****d up! How did he ever play guitar like that? Now I know. Future readers looking to be amazed by the reality of a true Rock "n Roll lifestyle, here it is! No corporate BS or spiritual introspection, just the raw. unbridled passion of a bunch of musicians doing what they do best; sex drugs and rock n roll.
