Guns N' Roses: In Their Own Words

Summary: Tirelessly entertaining quotes from the hard rock tip...
Review: Any pompous faux intellectual can put together books of truely profound quotes from history's greatest figures and most insightful minds...the one missing factor which the reader never realizes is that we ALL live similar experiences. Since anyone can make a rather heart rending statement, but only the famous are taken seriously, it is a refreshment to see poignant as well as meandering confusion in the quotes of the luxurious yet dubious of America's famous. Gun's and Roses was rock's premier talent from 1988 to 1994. Although just a raggedy batch of Hollywood scoundrels who combined precariously to booming success, they inspired a generation and became the envy of their contemporaries. Today they are still mentioned admiringly as well as spitefully proving their power is still existant, and their unforgettable music is played rather abundantly for being a decade old.

One of the world's greatest triumphs is related through the words of it's five players. The statements ranging from filthy to brilliant display Gun's and Roses rather nakedly to any outsiders wanting to taste the bitter sting of success in music. A friend gave this to me as a present one year, and the joy these unabashed quotes bring never leaves me. This is a great book for anyone...

Summary: Nice little book. But don't take it to serious.
Review: Each chapter in the book contains qoutes from the band on the subject of the chapter. There's subject's such as Early Daze, The Music, Axl, Slash, Izzy, Drummers etc. The book miss a chapter about Duff. The book's filled with pictures of the bandmembers. If you read this book it's important to remember that the quotes is taken from interviews etc. and therefore they can originally have meant something else. The fact is that the author of this book got very unpopular w. the GN'R members after he wrote it. All in all it's a nice little book you can read for fun and to get a different view on the band but don't take the qoutes to serious. Remember it's not the band who put it together.
