3.0 out of 5 stars For the Guns aficionado, April 4, 2010

As a huge Guns fan who grew up just a little too late to really appreciate the music as it was happening. I will devour anything I can get my hands on about the infamous Guns n Roses. Though its a little short and does not cover every detail about the formation and downfall of a great band it does give you details others do not. It paints a detailed picture of what was happening with Slash, Duff and Axl at a specific point. I think a lot of it only really made sense because I have read so many other works about the band. But with out that prior knowledge its still a good read for a casual Guns fan or someone just getting into them.

This is a very good GNR book. Any fan of GNR will appreciate. This book is about the 80's only though (But hey, i can't blame the author because he wrote that book before the Use Your Illusion days).

This review is from: Guns N' Roses: The Most Dangerous Band in the World (Paperback)

Wall's 1990 book on the mighty Gun'n Roses is still a great read. The noisy, frivolous, gaudy people this book celebrates wanted to destroy the temples of doom - not eat babies. But this stuff was considered dangerous, subversive, contagious and, like good art, a whole lot more fun than you think you're allowed to have. Mick Wall's position as a top UK rock scribe gave him access to many of the world's best bands. As an interviewer he gets very close to the musicians and as a consequence the book is more of a dialogue between friends than a serious interview, and that's exactly where its appeal lies. A book for the hard rock fan and the late 80s nostalgist, it's still a lot of fun to read after all these years. But also check out Nick Kent's book The Dark Stuff, the chapter titled "The Daze of Guns'n Roses" gives an interesting perspective on the band.
