"You don't have to be a Guns N' Roses fanatic to dig this energetic, comprehensive, few-holds-barred portrait of modern metal's most charismatic figure." -- Kirkus Reviews
Dewey Decimal
782.42166092 B
Synopsis
A journalist who had unprecedented access to Guns n Roses at their peak delivers a big, brash no-holds-barred portrait of the bands charismatic leader. Includes two 16- page color photo inserts., A journalist who had unprecedented access to Guns n' Roses at their peak delivers a big, brash history of the band's charismatic, fantastically talented and idiosyncratic leader-W. Axl RoseEven in the world of rock and roll, a figure like Axl Rose doesn't come along very often.  Mercurial and brilliant, deluded and imperious, Rose defies easy description or analysis. Few people have studied Rose as closely as Mick Wall has.  Traveling with Guns n' Roses and writing about them in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Wall first earned Axl's trust and later his fury.  W.A.R. goes back to the beginning, revealing Rose's childhood influences (and how he got his name), and tracking the birth of the band and their enormous success with albums like "Appetite for Destruction" and "Use Your Illusion."  With fame and money came substance abuse and infighting, and a lead singer who morphed from eccentric to seemingly unhinged.  Wall's book is richly detailed and offers surprising new views on some celebrated Guns 'n Roses and Axl Rose incidents, including: - the death of two fans at a concert in Donington Park in England, - Rose's fall-out and eventual split from every one of the other original Gn'R band members, - fights with perceived enemies like Kurt Cobain, Motley Crue's Vince Neil and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, - Rose's consistent refusal to show up at concerts throughout his career, - Axl becoming a virtual recluse at his Malibu mansion for most of the past 15 years. The book goes right up to the present, to explore why a new Guns n' Roses-with a reconfigured band-has toured but still hasn't released their long-awaited album "Chinese Democracy", now over a decade in the making at a cost of over $13 million. W.A.R. is about great music, bad relationships, and the public and private personas of one of the most controversial performers of our time.

    EXCELLENT book...VERY WELL packaged. The item arrived disgracefully late, but this is no fault of the seller, who clearly mailed it on he date he claimed. The good old USPS messed this one up. At one point, tracking records said the package had been delivered to a front porch in some godforsaken burg somewhere in Middle Tennessee, hundred of miles from me. Reckon they recovered it and sent it on. Annoying. But not at all the seller's fault. I'd certainly buy here again.

    Shipping was fast and well-packed. However, I would rate the book as "Fair" condition, not "Very Good" as advertised. Many pages were highlighted with writing in margins, and there was a significant water stain. This seller might tend to be optimistic when describing condition.

    Billy? Could have been another Billy the kid.

    As sad, maybe sadder than I knew it would be. But a real page turner. But was rivoting and compelling. So much .justified anger. But admire that at a young age he sought help. And became his dream. ,putting up his middle finger. All of what he had to endure starting at age 2 ,would take years & years of therapy, at least he got enough to rock the world. I've read several bios of rock stars and actors, some that had it rough others more the actors that had wonderful family. His was by far the worst I've ever read. Certainly understandable Ask being a homophobe & unfortunately hating women. I wouldn't have been at all surprised if that freckled face,boy hadn't become something much much worse. Heart goes out to him. A great read for anyone who like rock star bios.

    GNR book...Axl

    Have loved GNR since '87 Wouldn't have honestly mattered what condition the book was in. I was very very surprised to see it was a library book.
