Inside look at mayhem, great music, and narcisism,

This review is from: Over the Top: The True Story of Guns N' Roses (Classic rock reads) (Paperback)
This book provided a good overview with corroboration about the beginnings, rise, and recent status (1993) about Guns N' Roses. The author takes us to Axl Rose, whose megalomania and power-trips wreaked havoc to almost all of the people he dealt with professionally and personally. He fired roadies on a whim, and severely beat up fans, while his thug cronies restrained them, in several instances. Rose would start a show up to 3 hours late for the fans who paid their hard earned money to hear the music from the band they loved. I have seen GnR a couple of times, all over the world. I have always loved their music. It is the music that matters, but the stories on how the frontman perceived the world made me believe that some of GnR were just scumbags who got lucky. There is recent knews of Duff, Stradlin, Sorum and Saul gigging together, while Axl still owns the rights to the GnR name. Hopefully Guns will get together with some material from most of the original songwriters...If they can stand to put up with Roses' Histrionics and personality disorders. This was a good read, and well worth it, not just for the GnR fan but the modern rock fan in general....Come and get me Axl!!

a fun read,
This review is from: Over the Top: The True Story of Guns N' Roses (Classic rock reads) (Paperback)
this book is good for fans who don't know much about the band trying to pick up information on them. Since i didn't tune into the band until 5 years or so after their last tour i found it very helpful. it is pretty good and interesting reading if you are really that interested in the band.

The damned truth is hard to swallow, great book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Over the Top: The True Story of Guns N' Roses (Classic rock reads) (Paperback)
Its really unconfortable for a fan to read this book, it tells you everything you don't want to know as a GNR worshiper. It's the damned truth, all the prima dona stuff from Axl, and his personal feelings, make you see Axl as a human being, and lower him from his demi-god state. Its a great book, I recomend it to GNR fans who CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH...
