The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist. Finally, all the lurid tales of sex, drugs and rock n' roll are revealed as Slash describes his incredible rollercoaster journey as part of the biggest rock band in the world, living life to the full in the 80s. The mass of black curls. The top hat. The cigarette dangling from pouty lips. These are the trademarks of one of the world's greatest and most revered guitarists, a celebrity musician known by one name: Slash. Saul "Slash" Hudson was born in Hampstead to a Jewish father and a black American mother who created David Bowie's look in The Man Who Fell to Earth. He was raised in Stoke until he was 11, when he and his mother moved to LA. Frequent visitors to the house were David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Ronnie Wood and Iggy Pop. At this time Slash got into BMX bikes and would eventually turn professional, winning major awards and money, but at 15 his grandmother gave him his first guitar. Sessions with numerous local LA rock bands followed until a fateful meeting with singer W Axl Rose! and the rest was rock history.Guns N' Roses spent two years builiding their reputation before Appetite for Destruction was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Chart success and global domination followed but with it came the inevitable fall -- addicted to heroin, booze and cigarettes the band imploded in a rift between Axl and Slash that is as deep today as ever. But with a new wife, kids and new band Velvet Revolver, Slash is back on track. As raucous and edgy as his music, Slash sets the record straight and tells the real story as only Slash can.

I've been a huge Guns fan for the last 15 years and have long awaited answers on the ins and outs of the band.

This book provides these answers and more, all from the point of view of one greatest guitarists the world has known.

Once i started i could not put it down and now i have finished i feel sad. The way story is told with slashs arrogance and humour just adds the feel to what truly is one of the greatest sex, drugs & rock n roll stories of all time.

Its a must

Wow, what a journey to success, and how he and the band got there alive is amazing. I was always of the impression that Slash was a more in control member of G'n'R, but oh no, he is the craziest one of the lot by a mile!

 A Great Book

I haven't read a book in many years, but having been a fan of GN'R back in the day, I thought this would be interesting and I was not disappointed, I just could not put this book down, my whole life went on hold for 2 days
This is a Great Insight in Slash's Rollercoaster Ride of a life, right back from his Childhood to the present day and it gives you a great insight into the GN'R days.
Written with Slash's humour, its funny, sad and very entertaining. Highly recommended

 Quite simply amazing
